The Princess Ball

Here ye, here ye! Daddies were to escort their princesses to the school for a ball. Rumor has it that Curtis was caught on camera doing the chicken dance but I have yet to witness it myself! The girls had the time of their life but Curtis on the other hand, well, he was in a crowd, wearing a suit and tie and expected to dance. I think he had more fun than was willing to admit!

Who Let The Chickens Out

These fluffballs are the highlight of our Cache Valley trip for my kids. I mean how could the highlight not sitting through three hours of graduation!

Corbin is teaching the chicken to fetch. He would through a rock and the chicken would go chasing it.

Corbin even joined in with the chicken roundup

Graduation

After many long years and my husband gently (or maybe not so gently) pushing his brother Lyndon to go to school. . . Lyndon finally graduated for USU! We couldn't pass up the possibility of missing a chance to go to Cache Valley and celebrate with him. The added bonus is that Kaitlyn was doing a project on Box Elder County so we were able to explore many sights and learn about it first hand on the way home.

Oh he wasn't getting congratulated for finishing school, rather it was in recognition of that beard. These boys don't need anymore encouragement on those grotesque facial over-growths. It makes it harder on these sweet innocent wives who have to been seen with them! The sad thing is one of the bishopric would always encourage my hubby to keep his beard. It was pretty bad that you could see the wings of fluff extending off Curt's face from clear up on the stand.I guess the bishopric member was trying to live vicariously through Curtis. At least for the graduation Curtis was a little better groomed. It gets to the point sometimes that I have to write Curt's boss and threaten him to come into town so that my hubby would cut the forest down and become presentable again.

The Bearded brothers. The back two were grafted into the family through extreme growing measures.

Ballroom

We have been very busy with ballroom performances for Kaitlyn. They performed at Pleasant Grove High with a few other schools and then they put on a performance/competition at school. Kaitlyn's poor team didn't have everyone show up so there were 2 boys trying to fill in for all the girls.I am so proud of her for sticking with it and being able to perform in front of people!

4th Grade Performance

We got a crash course of Utah history during Kaitlyn's 4th grade performance. They danced and sang (even singing "Come, Come Ye Saints" which surprised a few people). Kaitlyn was assigned to be an Indian. And of course Corbin couldn't let anyone perform without trying to steal the show. We caught him on the sidelines putting on his own singing and dancing performance.

Who Me?!?
