Band Camp

Well Ty was invited to go to band camp this year.  He had a great time, and learned tons.  There were only three trombonist's there and he was the only bass trombone player there.  Here are a couple of pictures from the concert they had the last day.

Tropical Review 2010

We had our hula review on May 8th and it was a blast.  We all did really well.  We have several other private performances through the summer, and are looking forward to those as well.  Here are some pictures from the review.  Thanks to all our friends and family that came to support us, we love you all.

Proud Mom & Dad

The kids have done so well in school this year and we have one more quarter.  The girls have done a tremendous job, and we are very proud of them.  Tyler has done exceptional for his first year of jr. high he has been on the high honor roll two quarters and honor roll this last quarter (3rd quarter was a hard one), and to our joy he has been asked to go to band and German camp, and received a surprise letter from the principal saying that his science teacher had nominated him to attend an accelerated learning camp for science.

These kids have excelled so much since moving to Utah, we are very proud of each of them!!!  WAY TO GO KIDS!

We have a teenager!!!

Ty turned thirteen on the 3rd.  I can't believe that it has been 13 years since he was a little bundle.  On Friday we took him and a friend to the movies and they went and saw Clash of the Titans while Mike and I went and saw Alice in Wonderland.  They absolutely love it.

Then on Sat. we went out to dinner with both sets of grandparent to celebrate Tyler & Grandpa Briggs birthday.  Then he got to take another friend to the evening egg hunt and then they came back home and played on the x-box for a while.

Ty got a dart board, a tent & a razor.  Yea he is shaving now!!!  Oh the joys of having a teenager.

No Pictures

Well because I neglected to check the battery on our camera we did not get any pictures from our first performance.  So sorry!  I will make sure that the battery is charged for the review on May 8th.

First Hula Performance

Well I have been sewing like a mad woman trying to get costumes done for the review in May.  I have knocked out about 85% of the costumes, which makes me feel really good.  We have our first performance tonight.  We are dancing at a friend's Relief Society birthday party.  It should be fun, I will post pictures tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day

We hope that everyone had a great valentine's day!  Spending it with the one's you love is always the best.  But remember that you do not need to just show them how much you love and appreciate them just this one day a year, show it often through out the year.

Love from all of us!
Mike, Brenda
Tyler, Morgan & Autumn
