KATIE'S Going to HONG KONG!

Hey everyone,

I (Katie) am going to Hong Kong with Noteworthy next week and I needs a few dollars (about $300) to offset the cost.

This is a really great opportunity for Noteworthy. we are going to be singing for and doing workshops with underprivileged kids there and we're really excited! thankfully we don't have to pay for it all, but I'm still just a poor college student...So if everyone just donates a few dollars it'll help a lot! I'll post some of our adventures on my own blog afterwords. (katielynn27.blogspot.com).

Just click on the "donate" button below and you can donate through paypal. It's super easy!! :)
Thank you for all of your help!

LIFE

Last night David received his advancement to Life Scout. This is very exciting because now he can start working on his Eagle. I am super proud of him and this accomplishment especially considering he is not even 13 yet. He has earned 18 merit badges and will be receiving 7 more at the next court of honor. He has also earned all of his required badges as well. He has been working really hard and is hoping to get his eagle before he turns 14 which I am pretty sure he will. I love this boy and can't wait to see what other great things he will accomplish.

Where does the time go & Service is great!

Junior Prom

I just can't believe that Ciara is old enough to go to Jr. Prom. Where has the time gone? She is turning into such a beautiful young woman inside and out. I am not ready for her to grow up. Anyone know how to stop time?

DISNEYLAND HERE WE COME!

A couple of weeks ago we went and worked at an elementary school up in Granite Bay for a few hours on a Saturday morning. We raked, hauled dirt and bark, pulled weeds, filled the play area with new bark and then we got 4 tickets do the happiest place on earth! Yes, we volunteered for Disney's "Give a Day, Get a Day" program. It was a great to give service and it will be great to go to Disneyland so basically a win, win!

See all that bark - basically Ciara and I raked out all that bark and made it look all new and pretty.















WE had to move all that bark into the play area and rake it out. And when we started the hill of bark was way taller. And also here is Ciara shoveling dirt. She looks thrilled doesn't she?















Stephen, Marissa and Ciara shoveling and moving dirt. David and the Larsen kids weeding the ball diamond. They did that for about 2 1/2 hours!
