Shrek the Musical

Paxton was in the last musical with West Jordan Youth theater and loved it so much!  He was so excited for their next musical, Shrek and came home and instantly was listening to all the music, watching the musical on Netflix over and over again.  When it was about a month away from auditions he all the sudden decided he didn't want to do it anymore.  We were so confused by this, he's been so excited.  I finally put my foot down and told him he had to at least tryout because I have been paying for voice lessons for him for a while now.  I told him if he didn't make it then he could choose what to do next.  I think there was some fear there of tryouts because it was his first time, he didn't have to with Seussical.  Well he made it in and he was so happy he did!  I think he has found another thing he loves to do other than basketball.  

First, Paxton got the roll as one of the 8 knights, part of an ensemble.  Which is what he wanted, he was too nervous to do a bigger part.  Which I think he needs to go for because he would do so great!  He memorizes really fast and he's constantly quoting lines and singing the songs when he's at home.  Well he got the chance to come out of his shell a bit and loved every second of it.  One of the kids that played Thelonious got kicked out of the cast for bad behavior.  Paxton's name was suggested by Setu, the kid that played Lord Farquad and Paxton got asked to do the part which he was instantly excited for and did an amazing job for stepping in at such last minute notice.  

Easter
Easter morning the kids were all excited to look for their baskets.  They each got something new to wear to church and some summer clothes.  They got some little toys and of course, candy.  For breakfast Rem made us bunny shaped pancakes and then we went to church.  It was a beautiful Easter service.  When we got home the Easter bunny had come so the kids grabbed their baskets and collected all the eggs.  Later on we went to my parents house where we had a delicious dinner and another Easter egg hunt.  These kids sure are spoiled and had a wonderful Easter.  Sure love them!






Uncle Ryan's wedding

Rems brother got re-married to Heidi, she is such a wonderful person and we are so happy for him.  He got married at this cool castle and all the kids loved it and had so much fun.  Harper loved seeing all the girls in their pretty dresses and called them princesses.  She had so much fun hanging out with her older cousins Lucy and Brielle, they were so darling with her.  Rem was one of the groomsmen and walked down the isle with his niece, Savannah.
