Spencer's B-Day and Play Adventures!

There are some teachers that go so far out of their way to make school special for your kids that you just wanna give them a great big group hug!!!  Well, the director of the 6th Grade Play at Quartz Hill Elementary was just that teacher.  She was amazing and gave so much of her time and love to these kids.  They just worship her :)

Giving her a group hug!

 The play was titled, "My Heart Is Home" and it was based on the children's book "Flat Stanley."  The play was written by their director and the kids gave up their lunch recesses and one day after school a week to rehearse!

 Spencer is in the back row in the middle.  They sang, danced, acted---and just put on a fantastic production!

 I helped choreograph one of the dances called "Guacamole" - when Flat Stanley traveled to Mexico!

Here is a short video clip of Spencer and the boys doing a stick dance from Jamaica!  Spencer was really good at this!

The whole family, even MaryKay's family, came to support Spencer that night.  It was super entertaining and the kids LOVED watching their cousin up on the stage!

 We made a candy poster for Spencer (instead of roses) and I think he liked it!

OK - switching gears now----his birthday was back on April 19th but we didn't celebrate it until May 3rd because some kids were out of town on Father and Son's campout.  So, on Saturday, May 3rd we took Spencer and some of his best friends to Castles and Coasters - an amusement park in Phoenix.  It was actually a total blast and very clean!  Everyone had a super great time!

 Hailey got to invite Isobel, her best friend, so she could have a girl to hang out with that day!

 Mason, Trevor and Spencer are in the third row from the top---look carefully at their expressions!!!  It's hilarious!

 One of Spencer's buddies, Zach Everton!

 The whole gang:  Mason, Trevor, Spencer, Izzy and Hailey, Conner, Zach, and Grayson.  (oh, mom and dad too!)

 Yep - that's little Hailey WAY up there!  She isn't afraid of heights at all . . .

At the end of the day, the kids came home and absolutely crashed!  I found them asleep on my bed and just smiled because they literally ran their little bodies out of gas!  What a great time!!!
