Greek festival videos

OK, this post is special for my Xiaxia and my mom, her sisters, Spence and the rest of the family. At the Greek festival as my kids were dancing and playing, I could not help but think of aunt Cathy doing the same thing every year at the Greek festival. It was a joyous memory, and to share that with you all I took video of the kids dancing-I am sorry the 2nd one is sideways-I do not know how to turn it-if anyone knows how, please comment and let me know! Enjoy!

Dancin Machine!

I totally stole this video from my sister Melanie. She actually posted it on her blog, and she took the video, and I just stole it. So, if you like it or want to comment about her awesomeness, please go to her blog and do so.

We were just hanging out this weekend and Armour started dancing. Here it is...




Hilarious, right?! This next picture was taken about 5 seconds after the video ended-I guess he was pooped...

River (even more) wild!!!

Well, I know I posted a video of the river running wild at bowl and pitcher, but it was even crazier on Friday when we went to the falls. The 2 videos are loud, and I sound very screamy, but they are worth a look see...Check it out!

Ender's play

Ender's class did a play of Peter Rabbit at school. He played one of 3 sparrows. He was AWESOME!!! Below is a video of him rehearsing at home, and a video of the actual play. In the play, he uses his "beak" to help pick up the net off of Peter Rabbit. It was hilarious and by far Wes's favorite part of the whole play! I have to agree that it was the most creative, and best part of the play! Leave it to my kid to find a way to steal the show with a minor role!

Yeah for Ender!!!!

River wild...

If you live outside of Spokane, you might not be aware that our rivers are all overflowing and going nuts here (because of the sudden warm up after the snowy winter). On our anniversary, Wes and I (and the kids) all went to one of our favorite spots to visit, bowl and pitcher, and checked out the wild running river (this was before it was flooding). I thought you might want to check it out...

These next 2 pictures were taken last fall when Johnson grandparents were here. I wanted to include these because you can see all that nice rocky area there where Ender and Steve (Grandpa) are standing throwing rocks, and where Dad and Solace are standing on the big rock. Check out the third and fourth pics to see what that looks like now... That is what it looks like as of Saturday...



This video is awesome cause you can see how fast the river is running...I am not sure about what it sounds like or about my commentary as I cannot hear it on this computer (the speakers are broken). Enjoy the crazy river...

Ender's first Primary talk

This is Ender's first Primary talk. It is hard to hear over the screaming child and the broken microphone, so I will post the actual talk later!

Christmas Programs

Two nights ago S and E had their preschool program. Solace said a line and they both sang all the songs. It was great (I forgot my camera of course). But Ender was a star and Solace was a shepherd in it.

Last night we went to the ward Christmas party where we had dinner, the kids nativity program, and a visit from Santa. In this program, Solace had a scripture to say: Luke 2:1 "And it came to pass in those days, there came a decree from Ceaser Augustus that all the world should be taxed." She had a hard time remembering the words "Decree" and "Ceaser Augustus", but memorized it weeks ago and has been practicing non stop. Here is a video of the performance last night.

Grandparents Day Video

For Grandparents day at their school last Friday, Ender and Solace we able to have my parents go with them. This is a video of 2 of the 3 songs they sang for the grandparents (the camera ran out of battery before the 3rd). Ender is front and center, Solace is harder to see-she is in the middle of the back row-long dark hair, singing her little heart out. Unfortunately my camera won't let you zoom on vodeo mode, so you don't get a great shot of Sol. Enjoy my first successful video post!
