So I'm updating with the info of Rachel's school play.

Here it is:
LOCATION: New Northwest Middle School
ADDRESS: Redwood Road (1700 West) and 1700 North in Salt Lake City
TIME: 7 pm in the school commons
COST: $5.00 per person

OTHER INFO: It is a dinner theater with a light meal. Hambergers and such. Dress is come are you are. Running time is around two hours give or take.

Well if I missed anything or you need to know something then just ask.

So just to get everyone on the same page as to how to work LJ here are the basics of responding to a post.

If you know how then bare with me for this post.

Most of the time when you see a post the top of the post will look like this:

Here we see the top of the post for Paul's last post on Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat tokens. Notice the buttons at the top. The only one that really matters is the "BLUE PENCIL".

Here is the BLUE PENCIL reply button:

To leave a message about this post or to reply to it click the BLUE PENCIL reply button.

It will bring up a new screen with the post (in this case Paul's post about the goat tokens) with a REPLY BOX at the bottom.

This is the REPLY BOX that is at the bottom of the new page:

Here we can see "from", "subject" and "message".

Right now I'll talk about "subject" and "message".

SUBJECT - Is if you want to give your responce a title just like you would with an e-mail. Just like an e-mail it is not important to give your post a SUBJECT.

MESSAGE - MESSAGE is in other words your place that you would type your respone or MESSAGE to the poster (in this case or example would be Paul).

Now for the FROM. In this case if you DO NOT have a Live Journal page (or do not want to respond with your LJ user name in
come_clan_come) then "ANONYMOUS" MUST be chosen so that you can post a reply. As you can see in the picture below.


Then when all the above is done you click the POST COMMENT button that is below the REPLY BOX or MESSAGE.


----------------------


So I just thought I would put this up to help any and all people that are new to Live Journal and this layout.

Hope that it helps!

For those of you who know what the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG is, I got a couple of the orange scapegoat tokens at my local TRU yesterday. I also got got one of the pins and pulled a Goldd in some of my packs.

Now I am watching conferance in my home today and I have to say that it is a good experiance. So far one of the only things I have to say about school at the moment is that mid terms and parent teacher conferance have passed.

So Rachel's school play is this month (I will get the exact date up here soon along with the time and cost) but it is around the 20th I think.

It is a dinner theater this year and Rachel has a bigger role. In fact she has two roles in the play! Even though it is a dinner theater it is casual dress and a light meal.

It will be at the NEW Northwest Middle School.

Located at:
1730 West 1700 North
Salt Lake City, Utah 84116

or in other words

Redwood Rd and 1700 North

Just North of our house and up Redwood road. If you take I-215 it is left at the light when you get to Redwood Rd. from the 7th North exit off of I-215.

Or type it into Map Quest for easy to fallow directions.

If you can come Rachel would love it, but if not she understands.

More info to come just keep checking back.

So Rachel is going to be doing a dinner play in Oct. (I think) and she has a even bigger role this time around. I'll try and get Rachel to write and update soon.

Now onto Paul. He is taking a colledge credit class this year (in high school but it gives you colledge credit)! He also got ordained to a new office in curch, but I'll let him blog on that.

John got a raise at work so he is happy about that.

Well here is a pic of mother and Rachel walking to the bus stop so that Rachel can catch the school bus (it is just half a block away so no biggie).

So on Julu 24-28 I went to Brighton camp up in the mountain at Brighton Sky resort. I had a whole bunch of fun there! I made friends, ate good food, and just had lots of plain fun! We did this thing called zipline. It's where you climb a tall tree and stand on a small perch. You get harnessed up. Then you slide on a wire 50-100 feet in the air. It was fun when you got down, but it was freaky because you stopped and hung in mid air. Then you had to undo and unhook your own harnest to get down. It was really fraky.Maybe thats because I'm afreaid of heights.

Shortly after I got home from camp I finished the 6th Harry Potter book [Insert by Jessica ---> FINALY!!].

On August 11th I turned 13 XD I got a whole bunch of neat presents and B-day cards. I also ate a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream, which is my favorite.

School starts in a week. I'm excited aboutseeing "that little gang of mine"! I am excited about theater class and my awesome teacher. I loathe my 8th grade honors [english class] and the teacher, Mr. 'Zit-ler'.... I mean Zeither.I once heard him talk. I was board to tears. I'm going to soooooooo miserable. Anyways I have a new orchestra teacher. I liked Mr. Muinro he was soooooo cool!

Say hi to me all you people out there! A really big "Bob-ness" and Phantom and Wicked weirdness with lip gloss kisses!

School is coming up soon so its time I should express my thoughts. I'm glad that I have finished my science creds. and I am one step closer to graduating. It's exciting to think that I get to wear a cord or two at graduation and that I completed my UBSCT (Utah Basic Skills Competency Test), the test I had to pass in order to get my diploma.So when I go back to school I'll have more good tidbits to share.

So welcome to our family Live Journal! I thought that we would try this and make messages and passing of information a bit easier and fun. So look at the post and either comment back as an 'Anonymous' (this way you don't have to join Live Journal) or join.

So onto the birthday girl!!!

Rachel turned 13 on the 11th (Friday)!! She enjoyed shopping today with mother. She bought two shirts from Walmart that are cute. I'll try and get pics of them up as soon as I can. One has a thing about drama on it so being our families little actress she loves it!

She says thanks to Gran and Gramps (Dixie and Jerry) for the card and money. (It came on Wednesday ^_^)

She had a great meal cooked by mother and a nice pudding cake and mint ice cream form afterwards.

Yesterday John, Paul and myself took Rachel out on the town and ended up Sugarhouse park for some pizza from "5 buck" and ice cream cake, mint and chocolate of course. There she and Paul had fun playing and throwing around ice that was left over from the cooler that had the cake in it.

She got a mini build-a-bear tabby cat to go with the one she got for Christmas. She also got a cute bunny pillow. John brought her the cat and I got her the pillow.

Other then that I'll let her add it in the next LJ post herself.

She also wants to thank Spencer for calling her and wishing her the best on her birthday. She says that she is sorry that she missed it, but she was out spending her birthday money with mom when he called.

--------------------
Now for some pictures!!!

Lets start off with the b-day girl! Here is Rachel in her camp clothing from Brightton camp. I'll have to have her post about that, beacuse she had a blast!


Here is a funny pic of Rachel and Paul sitting on the trash cans. Don't ask why because we don't know why either ^_^.


And because I know none of you see a REAl John smile I just had to post up a pic of him before work smiling for me.


And to show the softer side of Paul. Here he is with his dog. He loves her like none other.


Well there are others but lets hang there and if you want to request pics then go ahead and ask and I'll try and wrangle people into it!
