Proud Mom

Wow - 3 1/2 months since a post. Oops. Since joining Facebook I've neglected my blog...

Anyway, here is my new post:

I have many reasons in my life to be proud of my children. Here are just a few:

Karli was chosen from her choir of about 60 kids to be a model for the Singing in Style style show last weekend. She wore a beautiful (but itchy) honeydew melon colored dress. She did a fabulous job struttin' her stuff on stage in front of about 300 people. Awesome!!

Megan's jazz dance team placed third in a competition in Moorhead last weekend. The other teams were very good so it was a tough category. Way to go, Just for Kix!!

Nate was in freestyle wrestling for March and April. On his first day of practice with this team, he was awarded a Hardest Worker medal. They aren't given out very often so it was quite an honor. At tournaments he placed fifth (usually out of five kids), but still had fun and worked hard. Then a couple weeks ago he earned another Hardest Worker medal at practice. That means more to me than winning first place in every tournament. Excellent!!

Karli and Nate are auditioning for Shade Tree Players this Saturday. Nate's a little nervous, but will do fine. Karli is excited to be the big sister at play practice this summer. I'll let you know which show they are cast in when we find out.

Megan auditioned and got a callback for Sleepy Hollow Summer Theater. We found out yesterday that she was cast as Nikko for Wizard of Oz. From what I can find, Nikko is the head of the Flying Monkeys. This is the 20th season of Sleepy Hollow. It is an outdoor theater. I was in the first season and a lot has changed in 19 years. But it's very cool to have her in the show and I'll be there to watch her shine. Woooooo Hoooooo!!
