Spring Soccer 2013

Today was Emmie's second to last soccer game of the season.

When I sign up with the Orem Recreational Soccer team, they play fall and spring

on the same team.  Emmie has loved this but the season only runs about 5 weeks

in the fall and 5 weeks in the spring.  This really isn't enough for Emmie because

she loves it so much.  I need to find her another league to play on.

Here are some pictures of today's game.

 Almost scoring...

 She played goalie second half and did great!

Talbie's Photos

Talbie has been taking a photo class this semester and using my camera.

She has taken some really fun shots...

 

Hope of America

Last Thursday was Hope of America at the Marriott Center.

This is a fun program that most of the 5th graders in Utah County participate in.

It's a huge event that is held for 2 days so they can split everyone up.

The kids spend the entire school year learning songs and planning for it.  Emmie was the

last of my kids to do it.  

Dave works in the temple Thursday nights so Brittany and I went together

with Emmie and Logan.  It was a lot of fun.

Emmie and Logan before we left.  Playing a quick game of basketball :)

During one of the last songs they turn off the lights
and the kids sing with their flashlights.  It's quite a show. 

 The kids shaped as the American flag.  Emmie is on

the third row of blue from the bottom and second one in on the right :)

West Side Story

Talbie has spent the past few months preparing for the new musical at Orem High

West Side Story.

She was "Bernice" - one of the Jet's girlfriends :)  

 Here are a few pictures.  She's in the turquoise dress...

 Entire cast...

Student Council 2013-2014

A couple of weeks ago Talbie ran for Student Council for next year - her Senior year!

She chose a theme around music.

Bronson has a "pick punch" that cuts out shapes for guitar picks.

We used old ice cream buckets as the plastic and then painted them blue and gold (OHS colors)

 Then we made them into necklaces.

  She gave out over 300 of them!

 Here are her posters.  If you have seen the movie "Pitch Perfect"

then you will get the first one :)

 She got this cute certificate and stuffed tiger to announce her position on the cabinet

for Student Council next year.  I'm so excited for her.  It will be a great year because

she has so many friends on there with her ;)

*When you run for Student Council at OHS, you run the first week in the primary election.

Then they pick 2 students from each position to run during Blue and Gold week.  

Talbie was on the Gold team for the final assembly and voting.

Here are her final posters for Blue and Gold week that

Lauren (Heaps :) helped her make!

Lastly - here is the youtube link that I put the video of the assembly on.
