 photo IMG_5547bwww_1.jpg The only thing more beautiful than a warm day in December is the fact that my daughter lifted the ban and allowed me to photograph her. She is finally coming out of her shell and gaining confidence in letting the rest of the word see her personality.

No stopping her

Is there anything this girl can't do? Watch out world, because she is no longer afraid to take risks. Excuse the brag, but it has gotten to the point that when she brings home a trophy, I have to ask her which accomplishment it is. Even her classroom teacher recognizes that she is one in a million. Here she is with her trophy from the Reflections contest. She composed a song on the piano and dedicated it to her classmate who lost his life in a snowmobile accident last year. She entitled it "Remembrance." She won first in her school. She received another trophy when she was selected in council to represent her school at regionals. You can listen to it here: http://youtu.be/ej31l35chjk  photo IMG_5518w.jpg  photo 10547719_10204513682134965_4846128667353851443_o.jpg This is the trophy that she and Savannah won for her Robotics team. She is a very strategic driver. The team will compete next month at state.

Storytelling

 photo 10931326_10204925245023780_1856099490398801433_n.jpg Hana is our ray of sunshine and quite the entertainer. She was chosen to represent her school at the district storytelling festival where she was chosen to present Lazy Jack at the Weber State University Storytelling Festival. She received a perfect score, except one judge gave a 3 for "Is it unique?" They commented "Very Clear! Great Facial Expressions. Very entertaining to watch. You had the audience captivated. So Good (on Voice Expression). We loved it!! Love hearing the audience's reaction. Loved how you showed how heavy the donkey was! My Favorite Story of the Night!"

Davis County Mud Run

My girls had fun at the mud run. They were doubting me that morning, but you should have seen their smiles once they started. A group of boys fell down when McKell rounded the last stretch. It's probably not the last time they will try to chase her. She had good speed and came in ninth.
