Jenna's Dance Rehearsal and Performance

Last week was crazy busy. We had something to do every day. Monday was Jaron's soccer party. The kids had a lot of fun. Jaron's coach made shadow boxes for all the players instead of giving them trophy's. It is very special.

Tuesday, I had to go to Tehema County Court House for an interview to become a grand juror. Not something I want to do. I received a questionnaire in the mail a few months ago that I had to fill out. Then, I got another one about having to be at the court house last week. Then, to ruin my weekend I got another letter saying I have to be there again on Tuesday June 29 for further questioning. It started with 60 people, from there the judge picked 30. Out of the 30, he will pick 19. My odds are not good right now that I won't get picked.

Wednesday we had Jenna's dance rehearsal. We had to be at the Convention Center at 9am. Jenna's class danced to "I like to move it" from the movie Madagascar. The girls' costumes had monkey faces on the front and the boys were dressed as lions.


Jenna had another dress rehearsal on Thursday morning and then the performance that evening. Before the show started Sonya, Jenna's dance teacher, handed out trophy's to some of the dancers. Jacob and I were both surprised when Jenna's name was called to get a trophy of "Potential Plus". It means that Sonya sees a lot of potential in Jenna as a dancer. At intermission, Jacob and I went up to the lobby to get the flowers we ordered for Jenna. We also ordered her a necklace that has her name engraved on it and C.D.C. (California Dance Co.) When we gave her the necklace and flowers she got a little teary eyed and was so thankful. It was the sweetest thing to see her so appreciative. We couldn't be any more proud of her!

School's Out!

Wow! I had no idea it had been so long since I posted on our blog. We have been pretty busy with the end of school and we are getting ready for Jenna's dance performance next week. Anyway, last week we went on a field trip with Jaron's class to Turtle Bay. It was really fun. Jacob was able to come, too. This week has been super fun. Monday was "Camp Day", Tuesday was "Hawaiian Day", Wednesday was "Sport Day" and today was "Spirit Day". I helped out on Monday like usual. It was a laid back day. The kids did camping themed work. At my station, we got to make campfire snacks. It was a rice cake with peanut butter spread on top, raisin for rocks, pretzels for logs and strawberry jelly for fire. The kids really liked it. They were even willing to try the things they didn't like. I helped out yesterday, too. All the kindergarten and 1st grade classes got to go around to different stations outside and play games. I was at the bowling station. Jaron really enjoyed having me there.

I took a picture of Jaron this morning for the last day of school so, I thought I would do a comparison from the first day and the last day.

First Day

Last Day

Tuesday evening Jaron's class had a farewell play. Ms. Brown also handed out awards to each student. Jaron's award was for reading chapter books. He was the first one in his class to start reading chapter books and he read them very easily. He always scored high on his reading tests. We couldn't be more proud of him. He is such a smart boy.

Jenna has a dance performance next week. So we will be pretty busy until that is over with. I will have lots of pictures to share.
