Violin Federation!

Ali did just great! She played for three teachers (who were judges) at 10:00 am last Saturday, April 25th at Gardner Hall at the University of Utah.









We are so proud of her and happy that she is learning to play the violin.



On our way we stopped and picked up Grandma Diane so she could come with us. They wouldn't let us take pictures during her performance, or in the room so we had to get a few outside.

All the students which were with her did such a good job.

I remember when I had to do federation at BYU when I was playing the piano. It was pretty nerve wracking, and I was always so glad when it was done and over. Ali didn't complain though.

We love you Ali! Great Job!

Keep up the practicing and the good work.

Kids Market Place

Ali came home from school and said she had her career for kids market place this week.

This is where they get to pull a career out of a hat, have a budget according to there job, and then try to live off it.

They purposely didn't let them know what their career would be so you had to come of with things you had at home. They didn't want parents to run out an buy things. So she came home from school and said that she was a sales person. We had to come up with an outfit, and something to sale (props).

Our brains tried to kick in gear, yeah hard sometimes. She deciede to sell pencil pals and hair gadgets. We made some and a name badge.

While at the market place she purchased a sports car. Later found out that it was to expensive and traded it in for an economical car. Went to the animal shelter...(I knew that would be a given) They had to pay utilities, rent etc and either break even or have some left over.

Sounds like it was a sucess she had a great time.

She was a good salesman cause she came home and we had to make more because everyone wanted one and she ran out. She was beaming because won in her class for creativity and props.

Movie Theater Field Trip

Zach had another fun field trip at school.


Bedtime stories and a tour of the movie theater. I was kind of like a little date with him.
We had fun together the whole afternoon.

The movie theater gave them a strip of film. 12 squares is one second.
