Steel Drums

For the past two years Braxton has had the opportunity to be in an after school club leaning how to play the steel drums. On Tuesday we went to his concert at Basha high school. I really enjoy listening to them play its a feel good concert.

Myranda's 8th Grade Formal

I can not believe that Myranda will be in high school next year. She is growing into such a nice young lady. May 18th was her schools formal dance. Myranda picked a beautiful dress that she looked so lovely in.

Petting Zoo/Carnival Birthday Party.

On May 19th we had Lexie's birthday party. It was a lot of fun. I rented some games and bought little prized for the party favors. Grandma Tanquary brought her cotton candy machine and made all of the kiddos some cotton candy. For the first hour of the party they kids played games and ate candy, then Carters Farm came and set up the petting zoo and pony rides. They had 2 baby pigs. They were so cute. I want a baby pig now. Myranda was able to sit and feed a bottle to them. Bryan and his friend Emily helped with the games and Mason helped with the zoo. Mason was the pooper scooper. He was a good sport and did a great job. All of the kids got a few turns on the pony. I even took a turn. Yes I want a horse now too. Lexie has sweet friends and she had a great day :)

Lauren Wax Museum

Lauren had a report for school that she had worked on since they returned from spring break. She was assigned to learn about Gabby Giffords. She had to make a backdrop, and dress like her. On Friday afternoon all of the fourth graders put on the wax museum. Other grades and parents came and the kids would give their speech many times. Lauren did a great job and got an A. She received a 98 she got points off for her backdrop. I thought it was great.

Lexie has her first concert.

On May 15th Lexie had he very first concert. She was so excited. I was unable to attend so Matt recorded the entire thing. I was at a mother/daughter dinner with Myranda. Lexie had been in junior chorus for the last semester. They stayed after school on Tuesday until 4 to learn the song. Lexie had such a fun time and would like to continue singing.
