Now At Last

Here is the video of Kayla singing "Now at Last" at the final Spring Concert May 16, 2008. She had some boys from the group carry her out and set her on the piano. Stephanie played the piano.

Wedding Announcements

We spent a couple of hours on May 27th putting together Stephanie and Jeremiah's wedding announcements. We had a lot of fun and I forgot to take pictures until the very end so all I have are pictures of Stephanie and Jeremiah. We had lot of help though. Kayla, her friend Christina, Jeremiah's Mom - Elaine, me, Stephanie and Jeremiah. It went very quickly with all of that help. We had a little assembly line going. The announcements got mailed out during the next two days and we are getting the reply cards back every day!

Uncle Glenn's Birthday

So - on Saturday, May 24th we had a real nice time celebrating with Uncle Glenn. It was his birthday. Brad is not sure how old he is but it is 80 plus! He looks great. His brothers Larry and Dean were there as well. We had a nice lunch at Mom and Jack's. Linda brought lots of cakes for us to enjoy. We sang "Happy Birthday" and he blew out the candle. A great day for a Great Uncle.

Larry and Linda Lee...
Glenn looks a little choked up. I think his eyes were watering from all the fire!
Here he blows out all the candles!
Brad's brother Regan was there. Here he is with Aubrey - Kurt and Tammy's little one.

Dane and Robin's Wedding

On May 23, 2008, in the St. George Temple, we witnessed Dane and Robin being sealed for time and all eternity. It was a great ceremony and we were very happy to be there to share in their day. They held a luncheon at the church across the street from the Temple. It was very nice.

Here is a slideshow of the pictures I took.



We then traveled over the hill to Panaca and their wedding reception that evening. It was a great time to visit and enjoy the new couple.

Steven and Kim

It was fun having Steven and Kim here for the weekend. They came to see the final Spring Concert and to go to Mrs. Borovicka's retirement party. We had a nice visit and they stayed until after Sunday Dinner at Grandma's house. They make such a cute couple!

Chaparral High School 2008 Spring Concert

The next event was the Spring Choir Concert at Chaparral High School. The kids were great. This was Marsha Borovicka's final concert as after 23 years of teaching at Chaparral - she retired. Here is her picture. I know she was proud of the kids.

Expressions did a great medley of songs from Mary Poppins, the Classical Broadway Musical. The choreography was done by Cathy Allen (Dance Instructor at UNLV) and she brought in five girls to dance with the kids. Marsha even played the role of the "Feed the Birds" lady. It was great and brought tears to my eyes.

The performance was great and the kids did a great job singing and dancing. You can see Kayla with Marsha and on the left below. You could tell they really enjoyed the performance as much as the audience did.


Then Kayla sang a solo of a song I had never heard before. She looked stunning and sang so well. In my opinion - she had the best solo of the night! (Of course I would say that - I am her mother! But its true.) I will try to post a video of her song soon. Her sister Stephanie played the piano for her after listening to the song and writing it out.

Guys and Dolls

May has been full of events. The first event was to go see Kayla perform as a Hot Box Girl in the musical "Guys and Dolls". I have to say the best part of the play was the Hot Box Girls. They sang and danced very well.

Also - the lead was played by Kayla's friend Christina and she did a great job. Caitlin was also excellent in her role.

Since the director saw us an gave us a direct order not to take pictures we did not take any during the play. But here are two pictures we took right after. Isn't she cute!!
