PARKER...his events arrived!

This is Parker goofing off before he left for his band concert. He absolutely loves beat boxing & wearing this mask imitating the Jabbawockeez! He really is pretty good too... They are a dance crew that won "America's Best Dance Crew" a couple years ago...
Here he is after his concert showing off his two instruments. He just started the French Horn a few months ago & his instructor could not believe how great he did tonight! Songs are very long, so I didn't attach a recording

This is his buddy Isaac who plays with him. You can catch them in the next update! Their improv performance turned out to be 9 minutes long, and the blog just couldn't quite handle it... I'll have to catch him beatboxing soon, and then I'll try to put one on.

Hayley's Choir Concert...

So this is Hayley posing after the show with her 2 friends Shayla and McKayla. McKayla and Hayley are very close friends!
There's Hayley - you see her? She's up on the top row because she's so tall!! She has a beautiful soprano voice & even had a solo tonight!! But...she asked me not to put it on the blog...maybe we'll get one on there from her Freshman choir at Poky! Time will tell...
There is a video of a song the combined choir's sang - it's a southern gospel song where they had a blast, but the dang song is more than 5 minutes long...so sorry!

HAYLEY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!! Oh my gosh...

First, we started with 19 kids and we headed out to the mall for a scavenger hunt. It was a ton of fun, even if the mall cop was following us around!...

Once home, they all had energy to burn off - so they spent time trying to build pyramids! This is only one side and a little blurry - hard to get a good shot when everyone is moving!! haha Boy was the street loud that night! Parker stood by and helped the whole night!

Then we did cake & ice cream - Hayley did a double party with her friend Cassidy - their birthdays are 2 days apart! By now, there are 4 more kids, who arrived late from Baseball practice! 23 kids in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!





They had a rap battle about certain topics. If you leave it up to 13-14 yr olds - they come up with crazy things to rap about! The top group is about japanese bums eating broccoli and the bottom group is about taco's & toilets...Yeah - go figure Derrick recorded these & it's his fault that the camera goes up and down this time! Enjoy... (:
