Xavier Goes West

-

It's that time of year for the 4th Grade musical and guess who auditioned and won a speaking roll?!  Xavier got the honor and fun of playing Bringham Young in the short musical "Go West!"  He did a great job declaring that he and his people were going to make that "dessert blossom as a rose!" and they sure did!  It's not often a cute little blonde Latter-day Saint boy gets to play the Prophet Bringham Young in a school play and Xavier's a distant relative of the famous Pres. Young to boot! Bringham Young is a 6 times great uncle to my little Xavier through Grandma Phillips' family line. 

I'm so proud of Xavier for being brave enough to audition.  Working hard to memorize all of his lines and songs and for doing an awesome job at the performance.  Go Xavier! 



Xavier's play prop was a golden Bible.  :D  Only our fellow Church members thought this was hilarious.  All the rest of the Southerners didn't understand what the problem was?  Only in Texas would they give the Prophet Bringham Young a Golden Bible for the elementary school play.  :D  Love it!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
