Today mom and dad went to court. The judge is going to let Heather and Sunny fight for Boe and Jaxon. Mom is hoping that the judge will extend the time to six months and then the foster family will say "we don't want to have anything to do with this" and then we will get the boys! But we still don't know and DCFS isn't working with us :(. Whatever happens, happens. That's how me and dad are looking at it. We will just wait and see.
Today was the first day of tech week! And the last two scenes kind of dragged. WE need a ton of work on them, which is kind of scary since we are preforming the play THIS WEEK! But finally all the costumes are done and we can just act Act ACT!

Comedy of Errors
Please join us for an evening of
confusion and comedy!
FREE
Performance will be held at the LDS church located at
7989 S 2250 E South Weber, UT.
I hope everyone can come! It is a very exciting play and it is FULL of confusion! I will be playing the narrator gypsy with my friend Cassia the nunja (nun narrator and ninja) as my "enemy". This week is tech week we will be practicing EVERY DAY! And then preforming on Friday and Saturday, one day (Sunday) of not seeing each other and then Monday morning we leave for a week of Shakespeare showdown!!
Shakespeare showdown.
It's a really fun camp-out (or so I've heard) where they have Shakespeare workshops, everyone performs their play, you camp out and then you go home. Except our group is special because we get to stay an extra two days to do our out door adventure for vanguard!!!!! I can't wait, oh and I forgot to mention: there's a ball!!!!
Well hope to see everyone there... If not miss you!
Birthday Party and Calling Home
Last night I went to Grace's birthday party with Cassia and Nic. It was a lot of fun, We played night games like Tag the tagger, Ninja!, bunny bunny and questions. We also played curses which was really fun and really hard :). Some of the snacks we had were: Yeyow Gwapes, Chips, Chocolate Milk, orange juice, and Ice cream!! It was a really fun and wild birthday party.
Happy Mothers Day! Today we made mom breakfast in bed and we each wrote her a note. We also went (yesterday) to grandma Johnson to visit her for mothers day and in a minuet we are going to grandma Bass' because Kyle is calling home! Can you believe it? He has been out in the mission field for 6 months already! It is going way fast for everyone except for grandma :) luckily he is calling home because everyone else in the family is having to many problems :-/.
(A few hours later...) Kyle is doing great! It was really fun talking to him, even though I was the only kid/youth that talked to him :). He said the weirdest or most nastiest things he has eaten so far is: A coconut cake, and kinwa soup (which he immediately ran outside and spit out). He also said: "We need to have a light heart but not a light head" I really liked that because it's so true!
Well I better get going... Happy mothers Day!

Cultural Dinner and a Homeschool Ball!
This week (on Friday) we had the end-of-year cultural dinner with the vanguard group. There was so much good food, my favorites were probably the chicken mom made and the ravioli stuff. After we did the awards I gave the mentors:
Sister Bates: The wise Kong-Fu mentor
Sister Edwards: The youthful grandma
Sister Bird: Fantastic food and frank facts
Sister Johnson: Our favorite Fibonacci
Sister Pack: The snazzy secretary
I got the award of "A joy to be around" and they gave me an "almond joy" :)
I was really nervous for the ball but I didn't have a choice so I went off with the other girls to go get into our prom dresses. My prom dress is cream white with a pretty bead pattern it's strapless... But prom dresses are hard to find with sleeves :). Cassia's dress was so pretty It was a dark midnight blue with little sparkle jewel things It looked so good on her! But we were both so nervous, all the other girls were so excited freaking out but I could not see what was so good about it. I had no clue how to dance I had never been to a dance and I was so scared. So Cassia and I stayed near the back as we all walked in, unsure of what to do...
We waited for half an hour playing ninja while we waited for the music to start when they finally got it working Nic (the DJ) got up and said that we were going to have every-other-one a fast song and then a slow song. I was so relived! I didn't think there would be any fast songs, just slow boring songs that would make everything awkward. The first dance was amazing and from then on I enjoyed myself. The first slow dance as the girls were being asked to dance I went over to Kylee and Ashley who were sitting in the back and asked them to come and dance. Which they wouldn't. Then they both kind of smiled looking at something behind me I didn't realize it until someone was right behind me and put their hands over my eyes. My first thought was "Dad?" But no! I turned around and there was Nic He grinned at my shocked face and asked me if I would like to dance with Isaiah who proved to be an amazingly good dancer!! But my mission to get Kylee and Ashley to dance did not fail for Nic went over and asked Ashley who said no :( and then he asked Kylee who said yes :).
The next slow dance Nic asked me to dance And the one after that was girls-ask-guys so I pushed Cassia over to Nic against her will but to bad and asked her to go ask him... Which she did :) I liked all the fast dances. Even though many times I was out of breath :) Sadly Ashley did not dance to any of the slow dances :( maybe we can get her to next time!
It was a good end-of-year celebration! Even though I'm sad it's over.

Gypsy:Is it just me? Or does it seem like comedy and errors shouldn't go together?
Nun; I feel That if we all choose the right there are no errors.
Gypsy:But without the errors this play ends after the third Scean! We have not even bought the popcorn
Nun:Oh! Such a worldly thing I would never think of buying...
Gypsy:(meekly)But it's....yummy...
Nun:Tsk tsk such a worldly person you are.
A new acting group has been established!! And our next play is in May, We are preforming Comedy of Errors! A play of mistaken Identitys. In which I am the Gypsy and my friend Spicedoddle Is the nun :)
Here is the cast list so far...
