Savannah tried out for the school musical this week. On Wednesday, she got to go (with about 150 other kids) and learn a dance. Then on Thursday, she sang one minute of a pop song for Mrs. Walker and had to perform the dance she had learned the day before. It was all very exciting and it was fun to have Savannah strutting around the house practicing her song. (The song was "Too Cool for You," so she had to strut!) Like I said, it was very exciting and she had a great time. When she got home from school on Friday, I said, "So??" She looked lost for a second and then laughed, "Oh! I told you I wouldn't make it!" And she didn't. I think they're missing out on one of Springville's brightest stars! But, then, they didn't ask me! Savannah didn't take it to heart, and she is still enjoying singing in the school choir Wednesday mornings and the neighborhood choir Saturday mornings.

[I would post a video of Savannah singing her tryout song, but she made me promise that I would not do so! My apologies!]

Tuesday is the science fair at school. Sarah has been busy cleaning pennies and recording results with her friend, Allyson. Megan and I made a model of a beach Saturday and studied the effects of waves on the shoreline. Tomorrow the posters must be done. I think we will all be glad when Tuesday is done!

On Wednesday, I had a special treat. I got to go out to lunch with my old friend from elementary school, Rebecca Passey! Actually, her name is Rebecca Abbott, now. It was so fun to see her. We talked alot about our kids and a little about where our families are now. She lives about a half hour north of me. When I got home, I just barely beat the kids back from school. They said, "You just got home?! You were eating lunch for TWO HOURS??!!" Well, it wasn't the eating part that took so long!

On Saturday, I was craving Brick Oven Pizza. It is really amazing that I live so close to that heavenly place and rarely go. Kevin thought it sounded fun, too, and we decided to take the whole family and expose them to a little bit of history from our college life. It was really fun and the kids loved it, too. They said, "Can we come back tomorrow?" I think they all want to go to college now!

Today, Kevin was called to be the stake high councilman from our ward. Our current high councilman just got called to be in the stake presidency so they needed to replace him ASAP. As much as Kevin has enjoyed being the primary teacher for his girls, I think he is looking forward to this new chance to serve. I think he will do a great job, too.
