Kael and his pal


Kael hanging out with his best pal. He has decided that he does not like to sleep so he spends many hours awake. I didn't know it was possible for a little feller to stay awake so long~

Mr. VJH

For those of you not from Vernal, VJH stands for Vernal Junior High. (It sort of surprised me when someone asked what that was)

Kiley decided to compete in the Mr. VJH competition and really enjoyed doing it. His escort was Taylor Henline and he liked the chance to get to know her better too. (He had been too shy to actually talk to her before asking her to escort him but has wanted to talk to her all year)

He created shirts for himself and his escort and they decided to have their names and their basketball jersey numbers on the back of them. (She plays too) Go 5 and 10!!!
He was escorted in and then they had to do a dance that they created.
He had to recite a nursery rhyme in his PJ's (he chose Little Miss Muffet) while holding his favorite stuffed animal.

His talent was juggling set to "Out of Control" and he did very well. He then invited a teacher (judge) up to participate and both teachers added humor to the routine for him.

They had to do 2 assemblies as the auditorium is not big enough for all of the students. Both assemblies had different teacher judges so the outcomes were a little different.

At the end of his talent in the second assembly he presented Taylor with a dozen roses (that he paid for himself) and thanked her for being his escort. (What a gentleman!) As the judges tallied their votes the contestants did a dance choreographed to "Dancing Queen" and they all wore a tiara. It was priceless and had great humor! (Kiley added his back hand springs too)

Kiley won 1st runner up on the second assembly. No more early morning practices and now all is said and done but he seemed to have had a great time! Good job Kiley for being willing to put yourself out there and make memories you will never get a chance to do again!
