Pi, Prom, and a Perfect Mission Call
We had such an exciting week full of great stuff!
Mission Call
Our most exciting news is that Marisa received her mission call this week! We were able to hook together via Google Hangout and see her open her call live. She even had several kids from her ward come see her open it! She has been called to the Fortaleza east mission in Brazil! She reports to the MTC in Brazil on August 21. She is so very excited and we are so excited for her!!! What an exciting time to be a missionary!
She also had the opportunity to go to the Festival of Colors yesterday with some friends from BYU. We hope this has prepared her for the color run!
Happy 17th Birthday Kayla!!!
Happy Happy Birthday to Kayla who turned 17 this week! We can’t believe how quickly time passes by! We made her favorite fettuccine alfredo for dinner and had her giant cookie.
Her best friend, Merritt, turned it into a birthday week by dropping off a gift each day. It was so sweet!
She was also asked to prom this week by a sweet guy in our stake, Ben Gilbert. The doorbell rang and there was a balloon bouquet and flowers. The note said to let the green balloon go if she said yes, and the red if she said no. Alayna tried to talk her into letting the yellow one go. Anyway, she let the green one go and I think he was pretty excited. He and Scott came in to hang out with her for a while. So, now we are trying to get a dress for it. I am so excited for her!
Her friend, Blake, also did something sweet for her birthday. Kayla had been telling him that she has bad dreams a lot lately and that she often experiences sleep paralysis (where she is awake but can’t get her body to wake up). So, he made her a dream catcher that she hung above her bed. How sweet is that?
Congrats to Alayna
Alayna auditioned for the talent show by playing in an orchestra trio and singing a solo acapella. She found out Friday that she made it into the talent show with both numbers!! She is so very excited!
She also had two friends spend the night Friday night. They made this huge “Littlest Pet Shop World” in the kitchen which entertained them for hours. They also watched “Wreck it Ralph” and “Rise of the Guardians”. They spent lots of time jumping on the trampoline and painting the clubhouse. For breakfast they made green pancakes with chocolate chips. I think the whole party was a great success.
Easter
Life of Pi
I HIGHLY recommend this movie! We watched it as a family in 3D on our big screen and I think its one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. We just loved it! Marisa- we will get it for you to watch when you get your wisdom teeth out!
