"Hairspray"

If you have ever been to our house before you have had the privilege of hearing "Hairspray" the movie/musical playing in the background! It is Kate's most FAVORITE show! She loves to go put on her special dress & sing & dance to every song, it's quiet the treat! When I heard that it was coming to Music Circus this summer I called up a friend of mine that works in the box office & was told that they have a 'policy' that states that people younger than 4 can NOT attend! When I took Kate to the Dr.'s last week for her well check up he told me that she was in the 90% for height, so I figure she could pass as a 4 year old!That night we picked up our good friends & were off to see "Hairspray"! On the way there Kate was telling everyone how 'excited' (imagine a little lisp in there) she was! We had some great seats & Kate did SO good during the performance. We were sitting on a performance aisle so that was fun to be close to the actors.
Kate's favorite part of the show was the, "fat momma, the BIG, LOUD can of Hairspray that sprays & the sparkly paper at the end" (confetti!) It was a great girls night out, full of laughs & good company! I especially liked to hear Kacee's giggles when the actors were being silly on stage!!I know that my dad must have been giggling too!

Back To School!

Another summer is ending & kids are back to school! Kyle is in 6th grade this year & it looks like he is getting ready for his elementary school career to be over! Kacee is in 3rd grade & has Mrs. Victorin & Mrs. Bullard. We LOVE these teachers! Mrs. Victorin has been the only teacher that has had all 3 of the kids so far, it's going to be a fun year!

Kaila started high school a week later & jumped right into seminary. It will take her a while to get use to those early mornings, but for the 2nd week into it, she is doing really well! She likes her schedule at high school & knows someone in all of her classes & is really happy because most of her friends have the same lunch period as her! (You remember those important things from when you were in high school!)

So now it's back to me & Kate. We like to hang out together, run errands together & even once in awhile go out to lunch with friends. She keeps asking when does she get to go to preschool & I tell her I am not ready for that yet! I am going tomorrow to sign her up for a gymnastics class to tide her over!
