GREASE: Starring Kennedy Stibal as SANDY

Mr. Hahn's 7th grade class at Elizabeth Bagshaw put together a play for the movie Grease. Kennedy got picked to play the part of Sandy. For awhile our home only played the Grease soundtrack and the movie was constantly on. These guys worked so hard and the end result was amazing. It was so fun to see the look of accomplishment on there faces after the show was over. Mr. Hahn was so excited as well, Kennedy would come home from school everyday and say that is all he talked about and all they did during class.

Mother's Day 2011

I love days when you have nothing really planned and it turns out to be one of the best days ever! Thats what happened for Mother's Day this year. We went to church and snuck out right after sacrament. I really didn't know what I wanted to do, just that I wanted to soak in the sun and my lovely family. We drove along the escarpment (which the Canadians call The Mountain) and jumped out of the car and started walking, we ended up going on an impromptu hike.

I am seriously so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and kids.  Some days it seems that I might go crazy with all of the chaos around me and then one little moment will happen at any given point during the day and make it all the craziness worth it. I am so grateful for having a husband who works so hard to provide for us, letting me stay home to raise our kids. I am so grateful for each one of my kids and there unique personalities, there has never been a moment when I am not learning something new from them. They have taught me patience, kindness, joy so many things that I would never get to experience if it wasn't for them. I am grateful for a wonderful mother, grandma, mother-in-law, and so many other amazing mothers who have taught me so much about the joys of motherhood. I always know that I have a mother, no matter what country I an living in, who is just a phone call away and will help me work out whatever I need to work on. And most importantly I am grateful for my Heavenly Father who trusted Dustin and I enough to send us Kennedy, Tyken, Raigan, and Skyler. And we are so blessed to be able to be together for eternity. Seriously, what more could a mom ask for? 

Elizabeth Bagshaw Talent Show

Raigan, Lucy, and Tatyana
Dancing to Miley Cyrus' Fly On The Wall

This was a great talent show.. lots of fun dance routines and musically talented kids. The students had to try-out in order to participate. The girls worked so hard on there dance and were one of the few who were able to perform for the whole school and the parents.  I love that Raigan was able to become such good friends with these Canadian girls and make such wonderful memories.
