"Moo"sic and More

It has been another busy week and I fear they will only continue to be busy until the year's end! Thursday was our most eventful day. Trevon got his driver's license!!! He would really like to find a job now, so that he can enjoy the responsibilities that go along with driving (like car insurance and gas)! Kristi had an orchestra concert that I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to. Corban actually sat still while the music played. He likes music and it catches his attention. Every night after he brushes his teeth, and says his prayers, he asks mom or dad to sing him a song.

Kristi and her stand partner, Megan:


The Intermediate Orchestra played four songs:
Brandenburg Concerto #5 (J.S. Bach)
Mississippi Cakewalk (Mark Williams)
Gaelic Castle (Soon Hee Newbold)
Hey Fiddle Fiddle (Brian Balmages)

As soon as the concert ended, we headed over to the Middle School to see Sadie performing in the play "Love Potion." The Theatre Production class did a great job with the two plays they performed and I enjoyed every minute of the show. Sadie played one of the villagers and did a great job with her part. They also performed "Dracula."





Mike really missed out on some great entertainment. He was gone hunting; hoping to find a spike elk before his tag expired. It had snowed on the mountain he was hunting on and he enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Getting an elk wasn't to be. Instead, he found a cow on the road home that ended up smashing up the truck. Some cows came up onto the road out of a ditch and he couldn't avoid hitting one of them. Needless to say, it was a long, sad night for him. He wasn't hurt and we were so thankful for that. The sheriff and rancher took care of the cow; now resting in peace.






Saturday, Sadie and I went with Trevon as volunteers for a Marathon; Half-Marathon and 5K trail run. The race was a memorial run for Deputy Harris. It was raining for the first hour, and some of the runners came in quite muddy. We signed them in and kept track of their times as they crossed the finish line. It was a fun morning for us. Next weekend Cari, Sadie, Cameron and I will be RUNNING in a fun run sponsored by the elementary school.
