HSM3 DREAM COME TRUE!!!!

The day finally came for the Red Carpet Premier of High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Zhi Wei won the tickets (see previous post below) have all been anxiously awaiting the event held at Jordan Commons. It was so fun!!!! We arrived early to get our reserved seats, had some dinner at Spaghetti Mama's and then showed up for the red-carpet event. All the Disney Radio dancers were there and they recognized Katie and Zhi from the piano giveaway party. There was a film crew from Radio Disney there with an MC who grabbed up Zhi Wei and interviewed him for the cable special that will be coming soon on an "On Demand" Disney show soon!!

Then there was the Red Carpet Extravaganza. Lots of the dancers from the HSM3 movie were there. It was so much fun to see them and get all excited about seeing the premiere. We took a bunch of pictures...and then, to the movie!
Here's our official movie review: WE LOVED IT!!!!!
Katie thought it was so much better than the other two movies and Zhi loves the music. It is a definite "see it again" movie and we will be buying the DVD when it comes out.

I'M A WINNER!!!!

Saturday after my flag football game me, mom and Katie went to the High School Musical3 party at Summerhays Music in Murray. They were having a big HSM3 celebration with Radio Disney and lots of drawings for fun HSM items. Katie won the very first drawing they had and got a kit with HSM3 stuff, and I won the last one which was for the grand prize. The grand prize was THE ACTUAL PIANO THEY USED IN THE SHOW and 4 tickets to the early showing of HSM3-Senior Year on Wednesday, October 22nd. I was so excited to win!! I'm so glad we get to have that super cool piano in our house forever!!
This is the picture of me that mom took on her cell phone with the piano behind me and the voucher for the free movie tickets to movie in my hand. The Radio Disney people took lots of pictures too..I'M GOING TO BE FAMOUS!!!
I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!

Katie's Bedroom Painting Project

Moving into the new house has been a lot of work. With all the activities the kids have, my job, and just trying to keep up with the mountains of laundry, house cleaning and just the day-to-day things---well, we're staying ahead, but just barely!
It's been an adjustment for all of us. In an effort to get settled in we decided to paint Katie's room. Well, really we decided to let Vicki paint Katie's room! After much thought on the design and color we decided on something blue with some stripes. So, we went from a totally white room, to a partially blue room...













...and finally to the finished project--



It looks beautiful and the stripes add a touch of texture and class. Now Grandma can start in with the decorating, curtains and those little finishing touches that will make it all Katie.
Next on the agenda --Zhi Wei's room...
(maybe we'll let Vicki rest for a week or two before we start that project!!)
