Angie has started up a business with a friend of hers and has been working on it for about 2 years now. It is a bedding product that I feel is revolutionary. After spending a month in the trailer, something like this on our bed would be so nice.
Emily went to State in drama, her team performed very well, but came away essentially empty handed. She did a great job, though, and I was able to film her entire portion of the one act play this time, so I've included that below. She also recently got her drivers license, so she's free to drive on her own. She's a great driver, and I'm excited for her new freedom (as well as ours).
Natalie is currently in 6th grade and will be going to Jr. High next year. For the seventh grade, the teachers in all the supplying elementary schools designate a boy and a girl to be a class officer the next year. Natalie was chosen by all the 6th grade teachers in her school to be the class officer for her school along with one other boy. We are very proud of the kind of person she has turned out to be and think she'll do an outstanding job. She's also recently started playing soccer, which I am very excited for. Angie still thinks sitting outside in less than ideal weather may not be worth it.
Erin and Nathan both received an award in school that recognized their contribution to their classes and classmates. Their school uses the seven habits of highly effective people as a guideline, and the awards follow the terms taught. This particular month was celebrating kids that exemplified Synergy.
Lastly, the three youngest kids recently had their piano recital - for Nathan it is his first. They did a great job, and the performances can also be found below:
Emily has competed in the region drama competitions for Riverton High School over the past couple of weeks, and last night found out that she will be going to state! She is participating in her school's one act play, and also in a scene with one other girl.
In addition to her qualifying twice for state, she was also awarded Outstanding Supporting Actress for the entire region! So she is the Anne Hathaway of her region at this point.
We were able to attend the dress rehearsal for her one act play and I was only able to film a short part of her scene, but she was absolutely amazing. I know she does well up there on stage, but she blows me away every time I see her. She is truly talented, really amazing. The included video below is not very good quality, but gives you a taste of how well she performs.
