Dodgeball

 Posed shot at Sky Zone-practicing for dodgeball.

Hannah with her TBQ haul of TBQ awards.

So I finally remembered to bring my camera to dodgeball & get a posed shot. Getting a picture while play is going on is near impossible so this is the best I could come up with. He's having fun & will probably want to continue. 

I took the picture of Hannah with all her awards for the achievement page in next year's yearbook. I have pictures of her when she got each award but none of them all together. It makes it easier for that yearbook page:) She's got:

2 plaques (1st place team over the season & 1st place team at State)

1 big trophy (1st place team at Regionals)

3 medals (individual high points for the season,at State, and at Regionals)

2 trophies for individual competitions (1 on 1 and a quote-a-thon)

1 Silver trophy for quoting 11 chapters of Matthew.

This picture also shows Hannah's new bangs. They're a little longer than she wanted but when the stylist started cutting, the hair started to curl so she suggested long bangs to begin with. We bought a flat iron so if she decides to go shorter then she can flatten out any curls. 

We're working on a bunch of art projects for the State Fair. That's about it!

Not much....

Hmmmm, no updates/photos since a long time ago! Not much has been happening. Regular summer "school"hours. Wet-n-Wild  is over but I never take pictures there for obvious reasons. Movies are over. 

Joshua did start playing in a dodgeball league a few weeks ago. I have never brought my camera because it's at one of those trampoline places. I know from experience that I don't get good pictures there. Too much fast movement. They all come out a blur. His team hasn't won many games but her's having fun. He'll probably want to sign up again when this session is over. 

Hannah starts TBQ practice tomorrow & theater starts up again next week. 

That's about it.

Ants'hillvania-last batch

 Hannah as an ant.

 Another cast shot w/director. I know I did one earlier. I just like it.

 Hannah's a spider in this shot

 The spider family.

 Awwww, pretty spiders. They don't look so bad.

Hannah and a few friends.

Last batch of Ants'hillvania. These are (mostly) the posed shots another parent took. He shot a few afterwards too. Fun times. Cheaper by the Dozen is in the Fall. Not the Steve Martin version. The original. I didn't know there was an "original". We rented the old movie & book from the library so Hannah could figure out who she wants to audition for.

Ants'hillvania Action Shots

 Hannah's on the right (as ant)

 I love this shot because of the look on Kenzie's face & Peter's too!

 Hannah's somewhere at the back of the middle line. I promise.

 Here's some pretty flowers. There's another picture below where they are being attacked by the awful weeds. For some reason that picture didn't load properly so now they're out of order.

 Miss Milliped & Mr. Worm.

 D.F. the Dragonfly=bad news

 See where listening to D.F will get you?

 Inside the "Pleasure Cave Inn". Hannah was Suzi Spider.

Here's those weeds choking the good seed.

Here are just a few of the many action shot pictures from Moezart. I still have to go through the posed shots another parent took because Moezart forgot to do those. It's hard to narrow them down! Also, I'm still waiting on the action shot from Wild West Tales. Yes, back from November:( I'll get those up as soon as I get the cd. It's not because I'm slacking!!

Hannah as a Beach Bum in "Blackbeard the Pirate"

 The Beach Bums

 It's so hot at the beach!

 Hannah and wonderful friends.

 Good family pics.

Last night Hannah performed in Blackbeard the Pirate with Missoula Children's Theater at the AFB. It was the week long summer drama camp they do each year. She got a part she wanted-a beach bum. She had quite a few lines. I borrowed 2 of her friends to come along to see the play. Hannah had fun. 

Enjoy the pictures!

TBQ Minute to Win It Game Day (and trophies!)

 The trophies came in! Yay! Now it's time for games:

 The girls had to suck up an M&M from a cup on the back table,carry it over to this table without dropping it, and place it ever so gently on top of the straw stuck to this table. All without using their hands, of course.

 The girls had to blow their feather into their cup. Again, no hands.

 They had to toss a ball into their cup from far away.

 They had to blow up their balloon and use the air to knock over all 3 cups.

 Last year's favorite: They each had an Oreo in their foreheads and had to get it to their mouth. No hands:)

I threw this picture in since it didn't fit any "category" I took the girls to see Hansel & Gretel last week at Theater Works.

Last week we had a TBQ celebration game day. The girls got their trophies since only 1 trophy is awarded per team. Then they played Minute to Win It type games. 

Then they went to their cast party at Sky Zone-a trampoline type jumping place. I have no pictures form that because I learned there's just no good shots when they are in that much motion.

After THAT, I took Hannah & 2 friends to see a play. Phew! Busy day.

Joshua's 10th Birthday Party-Let's get wet!

 I like themed b-day parties. This one was a water balloon/get wet theme. Those colorful circles on the cake are supposed to be water balloons. There's a surprise inside when you scroll down:)

 Look how I captured that red water balloon in mid-air. I rock!

 There's various methods of water ammunition here:water balloons,sponges,water balls,squirt guns, & water sprayers. Oh, and those buckets of water eventually became a way to throw water even though I meant them to be filling stations!

Getting wet all over in the pool.

 Our handsome 10 year old.

 Surprise! Not all the circles were perfectly placed but my "round/circle and colorful" theme continued inside the cake.

The kids. Hopefully they went home happy & tired.

We had Joshua's 10th birthday party on Memorial Day since his actual birthday fell right between Hannah's 2 shows of Ants'hillvania. Pushing it back made it a little more feasible to have a pool party. As the pictures show, there was a lot of water fun. Joshua got some more Lego sets (Hobbit) and a new inflatable boat since the other one didn't make it another season. 

On his birthday, he opened his main presents from us. He got a Wii game (Epic Mickey 2) and a Penguins jersey. And he got to eat at Texas Roadhouse for dinner.

Our summer fun begins this week with our summer movies & Wet-n-Wild. We'll still try to get school done 2-3 days per week. Hannah may try out for the summer drama camp at the base. She hasn't decided if she wants to do it yet. Bible Quiz doesn't officially start until sometime in August but Hannah got the books on an app for her ipod so she's already starting memorizing until she gets the actual "paper" book.

Last batch of Disneyland

 Either this magic lamp is new or I never noticed it tucked into a gift shop in Adventureland.

 I'm guessing Hannah's wishing we never leave our happy place.

 Annual Dumbo shot. I want a picture here every year even though it annoys Todd:) He'd rather take one in a "cooler" spot but this builds on tradition so I won't change!

 On Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin.

 On Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters

 Yes, ANOTHER Space Mountain shot. There's more I didn't post. This is a "see no evil,speak no evil,hear no evil" shot with Todd smelling no evil.

 Pretty girl in a teacup.

With Stitch.

I really narrowed down the Disneyland pictures this time. Hope you enjoyed them.
