Schooools Out Fooorever...

You know the song. We've had a lot of 'schools out for summer' around here and finally we are at the end of K-12. We have good schools but I just can't tell ya how glad I am to be done with them!

If I could, I would have jumped for joy this high!

(Isn't that amazing?)

A more serious pose.
Thanks to Mark Williams for the photos above.
The real deal... those final moments. James is shaking hands (or about to) with one of the district superintendants. The other gentleman is the school's principal. The graduation was at the E-center. We chose to sit up top and not only was the sound was crap-tacular, but it was super noisy with everyone talking. The principal gave, what I think may have been a really good talk but I only caught a phrase here and there because the sound was so bad AND no one had the audacity to tell the audience to shut the *bleep* up. James said he couldn't hear well either and he was sitting down on the floor of the arena.

Thursday was our dress rehearsal downtown at the conference center with everyone doing everything. It was a long night but so fun. I lobbied for an assistant and won so sent her around taking pictures for me after our other duties were done. These are at our stake center where the kids put on their costumes. A few announcements and we were ready to head out for our practice. Aren't these costumes fun?
Here is James in all his Scottsman glory. He's quite at ease in the kilt. Heather also got a more serious photo of him but this one is so fun.This little gal is one of our german maids. Isn't she cute and sweet looking? Yah, she's really Miss Attitude! LOL You can see the Scottish lasses and a couple Scottish lads in the background.

These young men are in our choir for the celebration. The cute young fellow in front is our Bishop's son. He's so awesome.

Tonight is the big performance. It's going to be really fun. Everyone enjoyed the rehearsals and did so well we could have called it good. There are a couple more things that they didn't quite have ready for the video screens. Even the rehearsal brought the Spirit in so strong... can hardly wait for tonight!

EMT Graduation May 19, 2009

Last Tuesday night was certainly an interesting evening. A lot more people showed up for their EMT graduation, with family in tow, than was anticipated. "B" class just rocks that way. There were several references to the differences in the "A" and "B" classes. "A" class was apparently dull and boring so you know it had to be the kids cuz the teachers were the same!

James was asked to talk at the graduation. Since two of his JROTC buddies were also in the EMT classes, he incorporated Army values into his talk. It was interesting and well done. Nerves set in a little for the execution of the talk. Even though a couple parts were missed, James ad-libbed fairly well and I think I was the only one who knew anything was missing. Now he just needs to pass his state exams!
