I'd Like To Thank The Academy...

It was Oscar night last night at YM/YW.  The classes had each made a movie related to the theme for the year "Arise and Shine Forth."  Last night they presented their premieres, along with "Oscars" for the best of the best.  The kids were asked to dress formal/funny, so here's how Kori and Clint looked:

Clint took the Western formal "Eastwood" approach.

 

 ...and the "Jolie."

Sweet Seventeen

Happy Birthday to our enthusiastic, funny, sweet, independent, thoughtful, determined, happy, smart, crazy and fun daughter.  You make everything a little bit more bright and sunny!  Yesterday we met Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt JuJu at (where else?) Mis Amores for lunch.  Kori got loaded with cash gifts!  Last night she partied on with 4 other girls who almost share a birthday.  Their birthdays are all this weekend, so a collective dance party was in order.  Kori only got a few photos of the girls setting up, probably because she was having too much fun to worry about taking pictures!  Here are the birthday girls:  Kassidy, Alysha, Sierra, Kori and Lexi!

Gotta have a silly one!

That's Nicole joining the birthday bunch!

The dance place before the party started.  Later, it was hopping and looked so fun!
