Im an Aunt!

May 23, 2009

My big sister and her husband had a baby boy. They named him Lawrence Ray Burmaster. They gave him, his first name after his great great grandfather on his dad's side, and his middle name after my dad's middle name. My nephew could'nt be any cuter. I am so glad to be an aunt.

May 16
This was the most exciting day, it started off at 6am with the Pancake Breakfast at the Civic Center which was hosted by Selah Kiwanas. The Grand Parade started at 10am, and went down 1st Street. Before I had the opportunity to ride with Anita in the parade I was able to play my trombone in the Selah Junior High band (we rocked). Anita and I won 1st Place for royalty.

Last years Miss Selah royalty had a Luncheon at the Selah Civic Center for all Royalty who where involved in the Parade. Last years Royalty for Selah Community Days were, Hannah Younie (Miss Selah 2008-2009), Erica Poole (Miss Selah 1st Princess 2008-2009), and Karen Escalante (Miss Selah 2nd Princess 2008-2009). I was also able to meet this years royalty for Selah Community Days. There names are Britney Sterling (Miss Selah 2009-2010), Bethannnie Ratliff (Miss Selah 1st Princess 2009-2010), Shelby Lee (Miss Selah 2nd Princess 2009-2010). All day there was free entertainment at Wixon Park stage from dance performances to a Gong Show (singing competition). At 9:30pm, there was a Fireworks show and it was beautiful.

May 17
The day opened at 11:30am with free entertainment at Wixon Park. And there was a 50-50 Raffle giveaway that Selah Lions Club had. The winner was Milt Brown who runs all the entertainment and firework shows yearly for Selah. The 50-50 Raffle helped Selah Kiwanas and Selah Lions Club collect money for the new entrance sign, the carnival was open all day as well (once again the food was amazing).
