Talent Night 2008

The chapel had a talent night on Friday and Taylor had three entries. The first picture is her reciting a poem she wrote called:
The Pencil
The pencil is a pokey thing.
It doesn't laugh or clap or sing.
But it is fun to use all day.
Sometimes when you want to play.
It helps you write a letter.
I don't think anything's better.
Some people think it's just a clump.
(Those people are usually grumps.)
There's nothing better than the tip.
But I hate it when it goes RIP.
The sharpener helps it stay sharp.
So it runs across the paper like a harp.
The only time this poem will end,
Is when my pencil breaks again.

Here is Taylor playing her recorder, she learned the song in Recorder Club at school.
This is her third entry, a painting she made and gave to me for Christmas.

Tori took all these pictures and chose a behind the scenes entry to Talent Night. More of Tori's pictures later.

Troy's 40th Birthday

We surprised Troy with a Spiderman cake and decorations.
Tori made her Daddy an Army bookmark for his birthday.
What else do you get an Artillaryman for his big day but a cannon!
