Ashley in Aladdin

Ashley's first play with Spotlight Children's Theater was Aladdin. She did so good and had a ton of fun! She was part of the ensemble, meaning she had lots of small parts. She was the fish vendor..."Hello, young lady. Would you like to buy some fresh fish? We catch them, you buy them."
She was the Statue of Liberty... during "A whole new world" song.
The fish vendor again..."Where is everyone? I thought the solton said to gather because he had an announcement to make."
And she was a dancing girl...
She did such a great job! She's excited for the next production Spotlight is doing...Beauty and the Beast.

Take me out to the ball game...

Cooper was excited to get on the Yankees team this year. He was one of the pitcher and did really good. He even pitched a no hitter. Of course, he always reminds us about that. I was really proud of him and his good sportsmanship. His team didn't win every game, but he was always there to help bring the team up. He loved chatting "Yankee Rally" to help encourage his team.

Paxton is only 4 and still too young to play on a Little League team. He can't wait until next year when he can finally "verse" someone. We were able to sign him up for a Start Smart baseball program through the city. He loved it! Every day he would ask if it was Saturday because that's when he had t-ball.

Gymnastics

McKenzie thought that this year she would try gymnastics. She loves it. We have had fun watching her learn and compete. She is always flipping over the couch or doing her splits. You even have to be careful walking behind her because you never know when she's going to do a handstand. She's kicked just about everyone in the family now.



Dance, Dance, Dance

The girls have done so good in dance this year. This video is Ashley with the Junior Team performing at the Mohey Compition in Cedar City. She is the short one in the far left group. It takes FOREVER to upload the videos so here's just a short clip of one of their dances.



This video is McKenzie with the Mini Team, also at compition. She is the brown haired one on the far left.
