King Arthur's Quest Theater Performance


Hannah is the White Knight. Far left/back row.
The whole cast.


Serious pondering moment.









Here's some pictures of Hannah's theater performance last night as the White Knight. Not many smiley pictures as being a knight is very serious business. They could use some more boys interested in theater but I'm pretty sure she still had fun playing a boy role. There were only 2 boy knights. Also, the pictures are out of order. I'll never learn to put them in order. I figure you can deal with it:)

Hockey Medals




I know these pictures are late but I did not have any events to take pictures at after hockey till last night for Hannah's theater performance. So here they are with their teams. Joshua got gold & Hannah got silver.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!
We love our Dads/Grandpa & Papa.
Todd got a store bought cake & he's playing Mario Cart with the kids. There's talk of a game of Yahtzee later.

Yesterday we went to the pool at the base because it was a summer fun free day. They had contests with prizes & raffles prizes (which we sadly did not win). We got there around 11:15 and stayed till about 2:45 because I had to work that night. Hannah participated in a hamster wheel race & a boogie board race. She went on the water slides too. The base provides all kinds of rafts & water toys. Joshua enjoyed a small slide in the shallow end & basketball. It was fun till Joshua got stung by a bee just before we were going to leave. We think he must have put his hand on it on the edge of the pool because he was stung on his left hand. It was quite a scene & he got an otter pop to hold to keep swelling down (and eat). I'm pretty sure wherever you are you will hear his screaming the next time a bee comes near him. I asked him today if he was going to freak out the next time he saw a bee. His very honest answer was "yes".

I'll be taking Hannah to the base tomorrow morning for a theater tryout. A theater company is doing a week long summer camp with a performance on Friday. She wants to try it so I'll know more tomorrow how the rest of the week will go as far as practice times.

I got my Stanley Cup championship t-shirt & Chicago newspapers this week from my brother. Exciting news for me.

We're going to try to see Toy Story 3 next weekend. I worked 2 extra shifts at work last week that I didn't really want to work so with that extra money we'll reward ourselves with a family movie day.

My Chicago Blackhawks are Stanley Cup Champions!!!!!!!!!!

The Chicago Blackhawks have made my year! I've been waiting since the early 90's for them to win the Stanley Cup & they finally did it. It has been 49 years since their last cup. I am so happy for them & that I can own a champion t-shirt now. I'm looking for a repeat next year but of course Todd thinks his team should win. We'll see about that later but I'm enjoying this victory for now. I told him & the kids in April that I wanted a Stanley Cup Blackhawks championship t-shirt for my birthday & that I'd wait until June for it. Again in May for Mother's Day that's all I wanted. So thanks to my brother in Chicago my long overdue gift is on its way. I also asked him for the newspapers from the next day.

I don't have any pictures of anything exciting. The pictures from the kids' last hockey game are still on the camera. Hannah got a goal & a silver medal. Joshua got a goal,did great as a goaltender,took a puck to the eye, & a gold medal. I can't believe the puck didn't even leave a mark. He did cry & sat out for a few minutes but then got right back in the game.

We let Sammy go. Yay. We can't afford to feed even a gecko so he got to be free.

Our trip to Wet-n-Wild was fun. It took Joshua awhile to warm up to the rides & be brave. I wish I had pictures from there but I can't risk my camera. We were there 10-4 & would have loved to stay longer but we had to leave.

Todd took the kids to our end of the year party with the homeschool group to the Aquatic Center. That night was a Blackhawks game & I wasn't feeling well. So I laid on the couch & watched them lose that night. So, again-no pictures.

Hannah is going to try out for a one week theater class at the Air Force Base. It's a summer class with a show at the end of the week.

That's about it for now.
