We have a Winner! Maeve and the Nomadic Angel

-

This queen bee won 1st place for Utah 4th graders in the 2023 PBS Utah Kids Young Authors and Illustrators contest!!  We couldn't be more proud and excited for Miss Maeve.  She works so hard all the time perfecting her craft as an author.  She writes every day, she spends hours and hours thinking up interesting stories and characters, and she isn't shy about sharing all the wonderful things she dreams up. She has a real gift with writing and I love that she can have this opportunity to shine and get some well deserved recognition for her awesome talent.  

Because she won her story is on the PBS Utah Kids website, she got to do a short taped interview that will run on TV, we got to spend an exciting day at the PBS Utah station in Salt Lake City where we did fun activities, met other grade level winners, and had an interesting tour of the TV station, and she got a fun prize box.  We had a fantastic time celebrating Maeve and her talent.  I'm so proud of her for being brave and sharing her light with the world.  I hope she never stops shining.  

The Prize Winning Story!

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!
