Tucson Richardson Update...

So Jessica has been really super busy with all the preparations for the MR. MOUNTAIN VIEW competition she is in charge of. The competition is for Senior boys who are representing a club. They have a "Strike A Pose", "Swimsuit", "Talent", and "Formal Evening Wear" competition. Not only is she basically in charge this year, she was also asked by one of the boys (a good friend of hers) to escort him during the final "Formal Evening Wear" portion, so she is wearing many hats this week. This is such a highlight each year at the school and everyone looks forward to it...so I think she has felt some pressure to live up to the expectation, if not exceed it! It's tomorrow night, but I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with you.



Last Thursday after school, the National Honor Society teacher, Ms. Cote, informed Jessica that each of the boys participating needed to have a black satin sash with "Mr. Mountain View" and the club that they were representing written on it so that each boy could wear it all during this week before the competition to bring up ticket sales.
So at first I panicked since I had a bunch of stuff on my list to do...Primary stuff, and a whole scrapbook I had to get done by Tuesday for a friends son who returned home this week from his mission, and I generally stress when it comes to sewing...not really a talent of mine!
So my wonderful friend Pam, came to my rescue and allowed me to come over and use her serger to sew 15 sashes. These pictures are of Jessica and I cutting the material and preparing it, before I serged it. They turned out pretty nice, and Jessica was happy. I think she'll be really glad after tomorrow night when it's over. I will post pictures this weekend on our family blog for anyone interested. It should be fun...Jessica's friend, Tony, that she's escorting...is dressing up in a Zute Suit, and he wanted her to dress up like a Hollywood glamour girl from the forty's. It should be cute...we'll see though!



Jake caught a hugh fish the other day when he and Scott went fishing together. See more pics and details on our family blog.

Love to you all! Kendra & family
