High School Musical 3 Makes a Star at Home

Today the phone call came that, by my son's accounts, will make him a STAR (perhaps only at our house). My 15 year old dreams of being famous. He has since he was too young to talk. He doesn't care what it is that makes him a household name, he just wants to have SUPERSTAR attached at the beginning or end of his name. So for his birthday two weeks ago we paid for a membership to a movie extra site in our local area. It wasn't anything extravagant, but it was well worth the dreams that filled our boy's head. Endless ideas on their calling. His accepting. Yada, yada, yada. Well, it happened. They called him. High School Musical 3. It was glorious. Truly it was. He printed the consent form. Got right to work on deciding what he would wear. When he decided on a Hollister shirt he stressed that perhaps "they" would be mad because it was a brand name. Then we fussed over our hair...combed to the side? like we just got out of bed? faux mohawk? parted down the center? OH, my! As added glitter, they asked him to come Saturday AND Sunday. A two for one deal. According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, "...to help lure the production back to where it all began – at Salt Lake City's East High School He is too excited. In fact, if he doesn't stop jumping up and down and trying on clothes and hairstyles, he may show up in rags and bald. Let the countdown begin to his moment of fame and may it be all he hopes it is! Here's to the experience of being an extra in a teenage movie by the name of High School Musical 3 and being a STAR at our house. We appreciate your subscription to Morrison See and Do!

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can

Desert Thunder--Speedway Illustrated December 2009

 Long before the Modified Circuit knew him, I met him. It was a long, long time ago...almost 25 years ago. He was seventeen a legend in motor-cross and destined for greater things than he'd ever imagined I met him in a sterile hospital with over-polished floors. The decor a bland grey and muted blue . I was sixteen, he was seventeen. It was seven weeks since our birthday. I don't remember him before that moment. I've written about him several times in my blog. Perhaps you remember " Reflections of a Friendship " or " Best Friends". To see him now, featured on the cover of Speedway Magazine's December 2009 issue is impressive. It's not anything I ever doubted he could do. It's not something that defines him to me. It's something that shares with the world the man I most admire--the man who is more whole, more complete than any other person I have been fortunate to meet. Enjoy this tribute written by Mike Adaskaveg and published by Speedwa
