A few of the things keeping us busy!


WICKED
Ashlin loves loves the broadway play Wicked. Shawn wanted to surprise her with tickets in Little Rock. Ashlin begged and pleaded for us to take her (very sweetly)! She looked up ticket prices and said she would use her allowance to buy us tickets to go. We told her no and each time we looked forward to the surprise on her face when we showed up to the theatre. Then Dance class came along……her dance company had arranged a dance workshop with a few of the actors as well as the opportunity to meet the actor’s after the performance. There went our surprise……how could you turn that opportunity down. Ashlin went from no tickets in her mind to being able to go to the show twice. It was worth every penny to see her joy in watching the performance.

7th Annual CHDC Walkathon
We enjoyed another great walk supporting the Conway Human Development Center Walk-a-Thon.  It is one of the highlights of my year.  I love the community spirit felt during the walk and the kindness shown.  In addition, I enjoy the sweet residents coming out to participate in the walk or cheering on the walkers.  The trio found their own sponsors this year.  I was so proud of them.  


 
Stake Mother Daughter Activity
The theme for this year’s activity was  "Come One, Come All to the "County Service Fair"……...County fairs are about celebrating the community based upon Elder Ballard’s talk about the honey bees–“One Drop at a Time”
We had a wonderful time and much service was completed.  



 
4th Grade Musical
Ashlin had a part as a stick dancer in the 4th grade musical.  As always, she did a fabulous job.  My heart was full of gratitude watching her perform.  I am so happy she has the knowledge she is a Child of God.  She has the confidence in her self to share her many talents.  I do have to say my heart was just a teeny tiny bit sad this is her last year in elementary school. 



 
Just because I love & adore these faces!
