AWARDS!

The last 15 hours have been very "awarding" in the Onick house. Last night was the kids' AWANA's awards at church.

Blaine was picked to say his verse in the "big" church in front of everyone. I was a little afraid he would have stage fright...I have NO idea why. In case you can't understand, he is reciting John 3:16. He tells her at first that he doesn't know the whole thing. He really does, but in his Cubbie class this year, they only had to learn, "For God so loved the world, He gave his only son." They wanted him to learn the WHOLE verse for the ceremony, so when he gets to the rest, he acts like he doesn't know it. You'll see him sign Miss Melody for his next line. He doesn't need it, but he had it in his head that he did.



Because he said a verse, he did not sit with his Cubbie class. They had special seats reserved for the ones saying verses. You would have thought this piece of paper were engraved and made special just for him. He was SSSOO excited about it!



He did go on stage with his class, though.





Even though Kylee did not say a verse on stage, she was just as much a star. She has REALLY gotten over her shy stage fright and can laugh and joke and enjoy her time in the spotlight.





This morning was Kylee's awards ceremony at school. They did the cutest play, and she REALLY hammed up her voice as "Iggy the Piggy". I did video it, but I did it on the video camera and not my digital camera, so I don't know how to load it yet. I'll figure it out. It's probably too long to put on here anyway. Here's a still shot of Iggy.



Of course, Kylee took the cake, if you will, with awards. She got 7 certificates and two trophies. One trophy was for consistent honors throughout the year, and the other one was for the citizenship award. We are ssoo proud of her!
