This was our first year entering things into the Reflections Contest at the kids' school. Jesi is the only one that actually entered anything and she entered a photograph and a painting. Her photograph went on to be judged at the district level and she was so excited to win a trophy for her age group!
She was also very excited that Grandma Walker and Grandma Starkey were in town and staying at our house to come to the awards ceremony!
One morning a couple weeks before entries were due, we woke up to this beautiful sunrise - that looked like fire coming out of the canyon behind our house. So, I encouraged Jesi and DRew to try out their photography skills. Drew took a great picture also, but didn't want to fill out the entry form. He was a great sport cheering for his sister though. I was very proud of the way he handled it. He is such a good big brother!
These pictures were taken the morning of the beautiful sunrise.
And, here is a taste of some of the competition. Nathan LOVED the BYU football painting and kept wanting to go up to the front to see it again!!! There were lots of entries, especially in visual arts. Apparently your best odds of winning are in dance choreography, drama, & music. Jesi thinks she might have to enter a few more things next year!
And, here were some of Jesi's loudest cheerers!
Way to go Jesi! That is wonderful.
