This little light of mine

This week was Landon's choir concert, Emma's preschool graduation and the school dance festival (each grade learns a different dance and performs it). Of course there were other things like piano lessons, baseball games, pack meeting, homework, whew! The last two weeks of school always seems so packed! Anyways, Landon's choir concert was on Tuesday and he had two solos (he had to audition for them) and I couldn't wait to hear him. As soon as the kids started singing the first song "This Little Light of Mine" I started bawling. I cried the whole dang time! Landon belted out his solo and was perfect! I was just so proud of Landon and there are lots of kids in our ward in the choir and they were all singing their little hearts out! The principal is the choir teacher and she does an amazing job. Landon's favorite was "Carrying the Banner" from Newsies (one of his solos) and "Wells Fargo Wagon" (another solo). They were singing tough music and harmony and I was just so impressed. I hope Mrs. Johnson stays there until Kate makes it through elementary so that all my kids can be in her wonderful choir!

Here he is in his choir shirt. The boys had navy blue and girls had hot pink. It was super cute. For his dance fesitval song the 4th grade did "You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog" and he had to dress up like a 50's dude. He also had to do the dance in front of the whole 4th grade when they were learning the moves as an example of how to really shimmy!
Our little graduate. Miss Emma Jae graduates from Tina's Tots Preschool. She was the only kid that had to duck under this big letter "P" because she is a head taller than all the others.

Daniel also did an awesome job at the dance festival. His grade did the Charleston and he was adorable! I forgot my camera, but we sure are proud of him too!
