Memories made by all!
Running to second base.
At first base.
And the minute we got home she went to her room and got her three pet caterpillars and played with them on the dinner table.
This was Shae's first big role in a play and Kayla's first lead role and with 60+ lines to memorize.
I am pretty lucky to have Captain Shep as a contact. He is an amazing guy and very interesting to talk to when talking about the old pirating days. He made this pirate ship replica with his own hands. It is amazing! I set up a special tour for some of our Treasure Island cast.
Top left is a real sextant! That is one of Kayla's lines and she actually got to see a "real" one. The captain and the first mate were the only ones who knew how to use it and to read the maps on board the ships. The pirates needed them or they would not know where they were going. The sword collection is just awesome!
The treasure chests, skulls, empty bottles of rum and booty that lay around the ship is so cool to see! Even a 8 pound cannon ball!
We had press night and it was the first time the kids actually had the full set on stage. They did great! There are more special effects to work on but it will be all ready to go by show time next weekend.
Shae loves being John's parrot! She will have full face paint for show times.
Showing at Franklin Phonetic Auditorium in Prescott Valley
The time is getting near! Next week is show time! Here is a sneak peak of Long John Silver, Squire, Black Dog and Polly.
Shae's first softball game.
The cool helmet that she shared with a friend of ours. A little big but fun to wear!
And she got on base! Great job Shae! 
Shae's finished art work. 
Kayla's finished art work.
We had a blast and lots of our friends showed up and hung out. These are the days that make us LOVE living where we do!
Stopped at Anthem on the way home and holly molly there was an ice cream truck in the parking lot.
They were very proud of themselves!
Here are about half of my class projects.
What fun! The girls enjoy practicing their math skills on fun4thebrain.com. A while ago they entered a contest to create a monster character for the site for a new game called MURB. Which I believe it stands for... Monsters Under Rosie's Bed. 
Above is Kayla's original creation, Lollipop, before it was animated for the computer animation.
A closer look. It makes it a delight to practice their math facts while seeing their creations!
Above is Pickles, Shae's creation, before its computer animation.
We had a great visit with grams! This picture pretty much states her personality! 
This is my favorite picture! She is hanging in there with her leg all bandaged up and cancer in full swing. She said that now that she is 90 years old... that any day pass 90 is a blessing.
Our rehearsals are in full swing! Hope you can come to the show!
The girls are getting a bit more excited each day!
Captain Squire!
She is beside herself to be Polly Parrot!
So, we went to Texas Road House for some good eats the other night and they had a balloon guy there. He asks the girls what they would like him to make. Her response was a "fairy." Well, when all said and done .... here it was. Ha,ha,ha,ha! And why the enormous boobs we wonder?! How weird is that! A grown man creates this for a young girl. How embarrassing! Kayla requested them be removed immediately!
Kayla is Captain Squire and here is her costume.
Here's an ordinary beige coat found at the Good Will and I am in the process of transforming it into Long John Silvers coat. 
The black one is Captain Squire's coat for Kayla and was an regular blk coat as well.
Above is Black Dog
Above is Big Jesse but not completed.
