O Bla De, O Bla Dah . . .

Hi again. Work has been crazy, so I haven't been able to post there. I used to post on my breaks, but now I can't even really remember what a break is!

Jarom had his band concert this last Wednesday. Those Jr. High band kids were so cute! Jarom is in both Cadet Band and Jazz Band now. Kinda funny, since he didn't even really want to do band to start out with. Now he seems to be enjoying it. He got to go with the Jazz Band to the Band Festival on Thursday. He didn't get to play there - I guess there could only be a certain number of students playing each instrument? - maybe next year. He had fun anyway. Jarom plays the trumpet, if you were wondering. Cameron never got to be in the Jazz Band. I guess baritones are not very "jazzy."

Meagan is over at Kearns High School taking the ACT even as I type. Lucky her. I think she will be glad to get it over with. I walked in with her to help her find the correct classroom and make sure her graphing calculator was "legal" to use on the test. It was. The June ACT is the same day as the Scottish Festival, so she decided she'd better take it now. Can't miss the Scottish Festival!

I am typing all bundled up and with gloves on my hands. I just got back from standing outside in the wind for 2 hours. I'm freezing! Our Stake's YW had a soccer game this morning. I'm really glad Cindy is going next week instead of me. There were lots of YW who showed up - about 20, compared to last year's 5 - they seemed to have fun. I had to look up what pollens are out there. When I got home my eyes felt all goopy.

Cameron is in a Dance Concert Wednesday April 16 at 7 pm at the Jr. High, if anyone wants to come. I think it's $3 per person to get in. Cameron is really embarrassed about it, so I thought I would post about it. Aren't I a mean mom? Cameron is taking Social Dance right now and seems to be enjoying it. He tried to teach me the Waltz a month or so ago, without much success.

Hmmm . . . that only leaves Amber. What has she been up to? Reading me Nancy Drew books. Oh, yeah, did I mention she got a trophy in the Reflections Contest for writing? David and I didn't even know she had entered until she got the trophy. Sneaky, isn't she?

Amber has a Choir Concert at the Elementary School at 6:30 pm on Wed. May 28. She and Jarom will both be performing at Heart of Hunter Mon. May 28. It starts at 5pm, but I don't know when they'll be on the program. It's generally very crowded and noisy, but you get free hot dogs and potato chips. (You can only imagine how excited I am about that menu!)

David is addicted to the PS2 now. Thanks, Kailien. She gave us a PS2 for Christmas. David walked to and from Jarom's Band Concert on Wednesday. That shocked me. He didn't even pass out or anything. WOW.
