Some more scenes from Alice

Here are some more scences from Alice.
Most of these are put on from the Acting division of PAC.
I wanted to give everyone a little taste of what was going on...

Performing Arts Conservatory of Ocala presents ALICE

Mckenna dances at the Performing Art Conservatory of Ocala
It not only has dance, but also, Acting, guitar, flute, piano,
voice, tumbling and Ettiquite classes.
What was really fun about their recital is that the whole thing was done in production numbers
so that it includes ALL their classes not just the Dancing part of the studio.

It was a really fun Production. The girls and guys did great and the sets were amazing!
It truly took a lot of people to pull this Production number off and I am in awe of the talent
of the parents here!

I even got great compliments about Mckenna from 3 of her dance teachers. One of which used to
teach at Center Stage in Orem!

I love what Mckenna has learned here and we are hoping to find out soon if she made the
Competition Team. Good luck Mckenna and Great Job on your dance Numbers tonight!
Love ya, Little Angel!

Mckenna's Award Ceremony

Okay so I am a little late with this one, but I wanted to show you what an amazing last part of the year Mckenna had a school and also introduce you to two of her friends.

At Osceola Middle school, they have students in grades 6th through 8th. Mckenna is a 6th grader here.

In their BRAVO classes (sortof like a lifeskills class,) they teach 11 life values: each year they award 2 students from each Value with the prestigious award of a Golden Binder. This year Mckenna won (with one other student,) for Most adaptable. So this means that next school year for the first Semester she will be able to carry around a Golden Binder instead of the required blue binder for 7th graders and all the students will know she is special.

She also got a Honor Roll shout out and for those awards they give an Osceola "O". It is just like a letterman's jacket letter. Next year if she gets on the Honor roll, she will recieve a Silver bar and then the next year (her last at that school before High School,) if she gets on the Honor Roll she will get a gold bar all to put on her Letter...

She was so excited about me meeting her friends. I met Heather and Sam. Heather lives in the neighborhood that we wanted to move in but now will be moving into a different one away from Both Heather AND Sam.

Sam is probably the closest of the two friends. Mckenna has gone to an end of the year lake party/sleepover and then just hung out at Lake Weir at Sam's beach cottage for another the day.
All of Mckenna's friends here are blonde except for a 2 girls at Church- Maggie and Elle. The rest Blonde, which to me is very interesting. And do you think that Mckenna and Sam could be sisters? All the kids at school think they do!

What our new couch will look like!

So, we bought our very first NEW couch! We had a Sofa Sleeper, but it decided to go kaput on us after our last visit from Sharon and Rich's family. But, I guess it is okay since I never liked the couch color anyway. We initially bought the sofa sleeper for the office in our Rainbow Home and then had to move it to our Canyon View home as our main couch!

We had a totally different couch picked out, we brough Devin with us for the final looksee and this is the couch he picked. When you sit down in it you literally sink into the cushions they are so SOFT!!

Too bad we can't get the rest of the matching furniture. Maybe some day.
