Bristlecone Storytelling Festival

"What is carved on rock will wear away in time...What is told from mouth to mouth will live forever." Vietnamese Proverb

Hannah and her friend Julia were selected to represent their school at the Britstlecone Regional Storytelling Festival. They preformed their story in front of the student council at school and the council voted. Only two groups were selected. The Bristlecone Story telling Festival is for students in grades 4-12. It is the largest story telling festival in the United States. It is patterned after the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in Provo, Utah. Last night was the Festival. Here is their performance of the story "Cinderella." We are so proud of her and Julia!!!

Not just a stroll in the park!

Yesterday Grayson took the dog for a walk when he found this little family of geese just walking down the street. Apparently they had been walking down they busy street in front of our housing development. One of our neighbors took it upon himself to lead the ducks back to the golf course where other ducks hang out. There is a wall with an iron fence dividing our neighborhood and the golf course the geese couldn't figure how to get across. The man brought a wood plank to make a ramp for the babies to get over and hoped the parents could just hop or fly over. After two of the babies went over the parents were freaking out because they couldn't find them. Then we put the other two babies over hoping the mom and dad would just fly over. They were really freaking out now thrusting their heads through the metal bars. We didn't dare pick them up so we waited until they got on the wood plank and then the men lifted it up and they took off flying. It was so beautiful to watch. I am sure they would have found their way eventually but it was fun for the kids to have a little adventure!!!

Not until your 25!!!

Sunday we were watching a little family type movie with Elija Wood and the man and woman in the movie were reunited after about 50 years and they were hugging and kissing. Marisa said, "When are they going to stop that?" Yesterday Jeff kissed Marisa goodnight. She said, "Lets kiss long because that's what you do when you really love someone." Jeff told her you don't do that with your dad! Or anyone else until you are 25!!! Oh boy we have got our work cut out for us!!!

Is it Shannon or Victoria? LOL

Here is a funny!! Today at Grayson's baseball game Marisa and a girl I cannot name, were hunting Lady Bugs! They found one then two. Marisa says to this girl, "That one can be a girl and this one can be a boy." the girl says, "You don't get to choose!" Aahh! Priceless!!!
