More Basketball

The boys have decided that they are just going to have fun and not win any games this season.  Which was really hard for David to do.  While he was getting ready I threw this idea to him and he, "No way!  If we are playing _______ then I'm fouling out!"  Which lead to a long talk about sportsmanship and that if he does that then that will be his last game for the season.  So, he decided that he'd try the fun thing and see what it's about.

































Merry Christmas!

I gave them both the same assignment, but with different words.  This is how it was executed.  Josh, one and done.  Soph, three different fonts with your choice of close up or full body shots.  Thanks guys!   You both ROCK!!!  Since we couldn't decide on just one of Sophie's we all opted out of being on the card this year and just put the two who are really representing the real meaning of Christmas.

David just had his Christmas band concert. They did a great job.  The high school Jazz band was also there and was jamming out to the little kid's songs the entire time and then played a couple songs in the end for the kids. He does a great job but does not like the teacher.  Same with Ben.  They are great little trumpet players but the teacher makes them absolutely hate being in class. Don't get me started on this guy either.  We've had our share of run-ins with him. 

AQUABATS!!!

Oh man, here is my latest project with Brad's.  The AquaBats hired Brad to recreate their TV set for them so they can film for episodes!  They haven't had a new one for 14 years.  So, it's been really fun to see the comeback and be a part of it. I remember Josh watching them when he was little.  They are s crazy weird music group that got a TV show and the only way to describe them is, The Wiggles for teenagers.  The group is 5 men who are super hero's that always save the day but never know how.  Then they always sing a song about it.  3 of the 5 members belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints.  Rumor has it that one of them graduated from Pine View and that is why they came back here to film.  What ever the reason, I'm just glad that they did. Here are some pictures of what we've been doing.  I was thrilled to see their props show up.  And then last week, Demetrius, their producer drove up in this bad boy!  I about fainted!  THE BATTLE TRAM!

  PROPS!!!!!
 So this is what we started out with...One room was done being built and so I started there. 
 It was my job to putty all the walls and make sure they were ready for them to sand the next day.  
 Done.  And the next day they were ready for me to do the next room.  So, it got done too. 

Here are Brad's secret designed plans.  Hehehehe!
The next day we were taping off sections so they could paint the final color after they had already ?  put down a primer of gray.  See the piece of red tape?  Now see brad's mustache?  He was having a mighty fine mustache day.  So we took a picture of it's shadow.  haha.
 Then on went the GORGEOUS PURPLE!!!  It's going to be beautiful! 
 So, tomorrow we try to paint all of the set pieces that Brad's crew made out at Tuacahn.  Shelves, Desks, more props.  Stuff like that.  Then by Thursday morning we need to be completely DONE!  I hope it works.  I'll keep you updated.
