Samuel's Musical Theater teacher has directed a movie that her husband wrote. They filmed it at the school with several of the students acting in it. Samuel plays The Nerd. Cameron has a small part in it also. I saw the trailer yesterday and it looks pretty funny. So, check out the clip.
His next performances coming up are: Of Mice and Men which is next weekend Thursday the 20th thru Saturday 22, at the high school and coming up in May he plays the villain in Aida. I can't remember the characters name.
Today was Kendall's first day of Preschool! He has been looking forward to this for quite some time now. This preschool is at the High School and put on by the students in the child development class. Shelby went to this same preschool when she was 3.
Last night Kendall kept saying that he wants to paint when he goes to preschool, so luckily when we got there this morning they were painting turtles. You can't really tell that it is a turtle in the picture but it was cute.
Kendall had a lot of fun and what made it even more fun was his best friend Olivia was there too. In fact a good portion of the class is made up of friends from church. We are already looking forward to Thursday when he gets to go back. It is such a great preschool, he goes 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hrs each day. And I get my workout in while he is there. Not Bad!!So, we finally got around to having Samuel's party last night. We rescheduled it a few times because of Samuel's crazy schedule and school break. We figured we better hurry and have it or else we would just have to celebrate it at his graduation in June, and that just didn't seem right. A Teenage birthday party is a lot different than throwing one for a little kid. I didn't have to come up with games or party favors. I didn't even have to sit with them and make sure everyone was playing nicely with each other. All I had to do was welcome them into our home, provide the food, cut the cake, take some pictures and then wait for the party to end. Samuel came up with the entertainment. They played a game called Apples to Apples, sang some Karaoke and just hung out and talked with each other. It was midnight by the time the last guests left. They all seemed to enjoy themselves and got along well with each other. He invited kids from School, Church, and Temple Pageant. He also had two of his cousins here. It was fun to be able to have his friends over to celebrate with him. Next month we will be celebrating Cameron's 16th birthday, maybe I will put Samuel in charge of entertainment for that party.
What do you get when you mix preteens with Hannah Montana? A whole lot of Screaming!! Last night Shelby and I and our friends went to see the Hannah Montana concert/movie in 3-D. We thought we should get there early so that we could get good seats and be able to sit together. It was a good plan because the show ended up being sold out, lucky for us we bought our tickets in December on Fandango!!
The girls were very excited for this show. There were several girls that came dressed like Hannah Montana, wig and all. We didn't seem to get the same memo that they did. Oh well, maybe next time.
The neat thing about the show was that we got behind the scenes footage of Miley Cyrus before her concert. And watching her make-up artists and hair people transform her into Hannah. She is a very talented young singer/actress. I don't know if any of you know her music or her Dad(Billy Ray Cyrus) but they have a duet that they sing called Ready Set Don't Go, I love the song and was hoping to see it performed in the show, but only a small part of it during the rehearsal was all we got. It is a song about a child growing up and the parent not quite ready to let go of them. I can relate to that song. Especially because my oldest will be leaving home in the Fall.
After the show we took the girls to a Great Chinese restaurant for dinner. We had a fun girl's (no boy's allowed) night out!!
