Wrestling

Sometimes the kids are like little bear cubs and just have to wrestle each other.  It's actually hilarious...until someone gets hurt.

Rocky Mountain Review Dance Competition

Courtney had her final dance competition...ever.  She has decided she doesn't want to do dance next year because she wants to focus on soccer.  I am kind of sad because she is a great dancer but I can understand that she wants to focus on something else.

It was a great competition and they did well, again!  I was in a better spot to get photos this time so you can see her walking across the backs of the other girls.

She didn't want me to take her photo so she made a face but I caught this when she was laughing at me.

Courtney is in the center of both photos:

Lyrical dance (which is my favorite one ever):

He's Tall

Ethan is now officially taller than Bryan is!

ZYSO Water Party

Courtney has been a violinist in the Zion Youth Symphony Orchestra this year and they had their end of the year water party.  It was fun because they invited families so we got to see them all interact.  They had water balloon launchers and games.  It was a fun afternoon

Crazy Ethan

Ethan is hilarious.

It's too much of a pain to get a cup but it's easy to get a bunch of straws...
    

Bryan was cooking mushrooms and Ethan wasn't happy about the smell.

Soccer

Courtney's soccer team is doing really well this season.  They have been in 1st place for most of the time and we are hoping they hang on until the end.

She is the blue #22 player:

The girls she is usually guarding are larger than she is but once in a while she will guard someone her own size, which is fun for her!

National Honor Society

Ethan as invited to join the National Honor Society and we got to go to a dinner for it.  It was fun because the three kids in our neighborhood who attend Success Academy were all asked to join.  Ethan didn't realize that it was a big deal until they started explaining what honor society is and why it's important.  It is the only student organization that you have to be invited to be part of.  It was pretty cool.

The food was weird though.  Bryan thought it was fish but Ethan and I both think it was chicken.  It's not good when you can't identify what you are eating.

His name was announced and he got to walk across the stage to get his pin and his certificate.

I had to get a pic of it and he had to be sarcastic...
