Alyssa's Gymnastics Performance March,2011

Alyssa has been taking gymnastics at Tumble Time for the past couple of years, and has absolutely loved it.  At the end of each term all the kids get to perform what they have learned in front of their parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.  Today Alyssa did a parallel bar routine where she did a forward and backward roll over the bar, and then got to show us some tricks on the trampoline. Her class also got to show everyone one trick on the floor and she did a cartwheel. At the end she was awarded a medal that you can see her wearing around her neck.She did a great job!

Shane's Blue and Gold Banquet

A tropical Paradise

This year for Shane's Blue and Gold banquet, the scout leaders asked the boys to decorate a cake that had to do with a tropical theme.  They had a Hawaiian Lua for all the families, which included dinner (hawaiian haystacks) and a program afterwards. They had some polynesian dancers come and perform dances fron the different islands of Hawaii.  One of the girls in my young womens named Adrianna Lutu got up and did a dance from Samoa, where she is from. She had performed it in the Junior Miss pageant earlier this year. She did a great job. At the end they had the boy scouts get up and learn a dance from Tahiti called the Haka, were men shout, stomp, slap their bodies, and stick out their toungues.  They performed it for all of us.  It was right up Shane's alley-he likes to shout, stick his toungue out and make funny faces. He did good. I was sooooo mad I forgot to take my camera. These pictures are of Shane and the cake he made at home.

Shane's Spirit Week at School

Spirit Week

Shane got to dress up for spirit week at school. Each day the had a different theme from the past years. Monday was the 50's, Tuesday was the 60's, Wednesday was the 70's, Thursday was the 80's, and Friday was the future. He tried to dress up most of the days. I only got pictures of him on 60's day and future day. He looked awesome.

60's
Peace Out!!

GROOVY


Check out the vest mom threw together that morning, not bad, but she got the peace sign wrong. It must have been to early for her. Sorry Shane for the mix-up.

O.K. No glasses..You look to much like a girl!

Future Day
Shane came up with the idea for this costume. Who knew tin foil and duct tape could be so useful, and make such a cool costume. Great thinking Shane!!!
