School of Rock











Isaac has been accepted to the School of Rock!! Here he demonstrates the "Chuck Berry duck walk in adverse conditions." They were not required to demonstrate simultaneous guitar use. They will be trained on that during the school year.

Isaac forgot during his tryout that he was supposed to be audidtioning for Rock School and during his mosh pit diving demonstration he did his Sky High superhero stunt of walking on air (because the force runs strong in my family). Still, the board was impressed. Of course, we knew he had it in him all along. We are just excited that he can now hone his skills and prepare to show them off to the world.

Sky High Elementary School

Claire is beginning to demonstrate her super-human strengths. We are so proud of her making the cut to enter the prestigious Sky High Elementary to develop her super powers. The first gift she demonstrated was cat-flight. In the first picture, she attempts shadow-pouncing, with catlike stealth to combat the evil that lurks in the shadows.







In between trial events she demonstrated her mild-mannered alter ego personna and tried out potential sidekicks.


Next she demonstrated her pre-flight ability to walk on air. The selection committee said she shows great promise. We are just glad she is part of our family.

Isaac's Choir


This week Isaac had a band concert on Monday and a choir concert on Tuesday. It was absolutely useless to capture band images, and as you can see, it is scarcely worthwhile to attempt capturing the choir preformance.

Isaac is in the second row on the left near the edge. Below they are all cupping their ears to listen as part of their choreography.

Update

There, I updated my blog. Would you rather I ramble with philosophical musings? Maybe next time.

What Do You Get?


What do you get when you leave children alone too long with a military man?

AAAAGH!










What do you get when the girls feel left out?


Emylie got a good 6 inches cut off her hair before I left on my trip. But then she asked me this week to cut it all the way off. Then, of course, Claire had to get hers done too.

HI COUSINS!

Claire's Program

Today was the second grade program. Claire had two special parts. She got to wave the flag while everyone sang "You're a grand old flag" but you can't really see her, nor that she has a flag because she was waving it so fast that my camera phone couldn't see it.
Also, she was the only child in her class who got to circle dance (as opposed to square dancing) in "The Texas Star." She is the one in the green shirt circling.
Then, you can also see her if you look carefully, and know what you are looking for as she carries the parachute. I call it a Clairachute.

Then, of course, there was an after-the-show photo op with a few classmates (third from left).
