This blog is getting to be an "All about Josh" blog.  Not that I love Josh any more than my 3 other beautiful children, it's just that Josh is graduating this year and just happens to have a lot of activities that he is involved in.  We were so proud to be at the Bennett Cup Competition and to watch Josh win first place for male vocal.  The Bennett Cup is a scholarship competition for the arts.  We are also so proud that he took first place in the region for his solo and that he has the opportunity to go to the state competition in Boise on May 2nd.  Tomorrow he will be going to California for the week to sing with the Preston High School Jazz Choir.  His musical ability has given him a lot of opportunities that he would not have otherwise.  

What a beautiful spring day.  It is so good to have the sun shining and the birds singing.  I thought spring would never come, but here it is.  Spring has to be my favorite season.  It is just amazing how the world comes alive again after a long winters nap.  Somehow it makes me feel alive again too.

Joshua in "Oliver"

Josh had the opportunity to play Mr. Bumbles in the High School Musical "Oliver".  He did an amazing job!  We are so proud of the hard work that he put in, it sure payed off.  He knew his lines and solo parts perfectly, and did a great job playing a mean guy.  We are so proud of you Josh!

Hurricane Vacation

Our family trip to Hurricane, Utah was so much fun.  It was a great getaway from the snow.  We did some biking, four wheeling, swimming and a lot of soaking in the sun. 

This is the solo that Josh sang for the State Solo Tryouts.  He competed against High School Students from all over Southern Idaho.  He had a score of 33 out of 35 points and received a division 1 (superior) rating.  There were only two baratones chosen to compete in the State Solo Competition in Boise coming up in May.  He was one of those chosen.  We are so proud of him.  He is a very talented young man.

Cache's New Haircut

Cache just got a new haircut today.  he was so excited when we picked him up from the groomer.  He was prancing around, so proud of his new look.  He was so excited that we had a hard time getting him to hold still for a picture.
