Kelly had a band festival where they performed 3 songs and were judged and then went into another room and did sight reading and were judged. They received all 1's!
Kelly and her friend Sydney and I made a fun midnight run to get the movie "Twilight" at WalMart. They had a "Party" were they served cake and popcorn. We arrived at 11:03p.m. and were about 20th in line and we left the store at 12:07p.m. with the movie. The girls watched the movie in the van and we sat in the Meijer parking lot for about 15 minutes to watch a little more but then I got too tired so I took Syd home and the next day, they had a movie day so they could watch it. It was fun! (No pictures, though)Kelly will be a model for a speaker I'm helping to host in May. The speaker is named Shari Braendel and she'll be talking about fashion and she wants models to show "Modest" clothes and I've picked Kelly as one of the models...there will be pictures for that!!!
Abbey loves it! She hasn't done much drawing lately. She's been busy with school projects. She had to make a Valentine's box and she wanted to paper mache so she made a Mr. Potato Head box. She won first prize (her friend Heather who looks just like her won Grand Prize!) Check out her blog to see us blowing up Mr. Potato Head--www.abbeysnewz.blogspot.com
JENNYJenny had a birthday 2 days ago!! She turned 8! I can't believe my baby turned 8!! She had a fun day, starting with breakfast in bed--a Mickey Mouse pancake! She got presents and then had to go to school.
She brought no-bake cookies (or Amy cookies as we call them) for snack and when she got home, we invited the neighbors over for cupcakes.
Then we went out to Red Robin for dinner and then out to see Monster's vs Aliens. She's still quoting lines from the movie. She had a fun day...and she's already planning next year!!!
Jenny also started swim lessons. She's doing great and she'll be all set for camp this summer.
DAVE
Dave had all four wisdom teeth pulled plus one more tooth this past Thurs. He is doing remarkably well...just a touch of swelling...no bruising but he's still eating soft food. He heals very fast and the stitches are coming loose because the swelling has gone down so much.
He's working on some new potential business ideas at work so hopefully that will all work out for him.
SUE
I'm too busy...is that enough? I'm trying to help plan for the May fashion speaker and it's seems like so many other things come up that I need to do first that the speaker project gets put on hold but it really has to get done. We are expecting to sell out 500 tickets for Friday night and 500 tickets for Saturday and all the work that goes into that...let's just say, I picked an awesome partner to help me accomplish this huge task-Heather Vanderlaan is the leader of the mom's group I used to go to and she has incredible organizational skills and this event will happen successfully because of her.
I'm leading Jenny's Girl Scout troop...which is fun but keeps me busy--especially during Cookie time. I helped Abbey lead the Painting badge which is also more planning. I'm doing some bigger things at the group I lead at church-Club Mom and Girlfriends. Plus, I still need to get laundry, dishes, helping with homework, being a mom and wife. Keeps me busy...so sorry for the delay of updating the blog...this should hold you for a while!
