Father/Daughter Dance

Tonight was the Girl Scout Father/Daughter Dance. Tara and Lily had a wonderful time with their Daddy. The theme was a 'Circus' complete with dancing, carnival games, hot dogs and popcorn. They actually won 7 bottles of soda playing games.

GS Camp

The girls and I attended Girl Scout Encampment this weekend. We had a good time.

We camped for 2 nights at Shadow Rim Ranch outside of Payson. It was absolutely gorgeous. Temperatures were a little chilly at night - low 30's. We were fortunate enough to sleep in cabins; however, the cabins did not have heat.

This camp's theme was a Hawaiin Luau. The girls enjoyed movie night, arts/crafts, games/activities, a hula dancer, hula lessons, skit night and nature walks.

Lily's favorite - the crafts


Tara's favorite - games and skit night


Mom's favorite - spending time with Tara and Lily. Oh...and not cooking.
All the meals were catered :)

Moments like this...

The other morning I went to wake the girls up for school. I saw Tara sleeping with her bunny and I just melted. I had to get my camera, I do not want to forget moments like this.


I tried to get a picture of Lilers too; but I woke her up and she started yelling at me...I try to forget those moments.

2nd Grade Musical

The 2nd graders at LB performed a wonderful musical yesterday at school. The kids wore the colors of the rainbow, each color representing a Pillar of Character. All students at school are expected to display behaviors that reflect the 6 Pillars of Character.

Blue – Trustworthiness
Yellow – Respect
Green – Responsibility
Orange – Fairness
Red – Caring
Purple – Citizenship

Tara had a speaking part and a special verse she sang with two other students. She did awesome, I was so proud of her!! Tara is a kind and caring person. She loves to laugh and she has a silly sense of humor. These characteristics were obvious during the performance. She was not shy on the stage and you could tell she enjoyed singing all the songs. I teased her that she looked a bit like Hannah Montana (who she loves) the way she held the microphone during her singing part. Way to go sweetie!!
