Picture Post Continued!

Here are the videos I wanted to put on the other post.

This is an activity from "Tell me A Tale" during one of my summer Kindermusik camps.



This is an ensemble activity performed by my Young Child 1 class.  





Daenon made the Travis High School JV swim team.  He is in lane 2.  He keeps a busy schedule.  He's up at 5:30 for early morning seminary, then he has school.  After school he has swimming practice then some time for homework.  Some how he still finds time for the computer.  He's usually in bed at 9pm. 



Unfortunately, I couldn't get the other videos from the Summer Youth Performance to load. :(

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!

I hope that's true.  I haven't had time to blog since June.  These pictures and videos with a few explanations should let you know just what we've been busy doing!  Sorry they are out of order.  I'm running out of time to format everything.
We were able to catch a few of Shalayne's games this fall.  She had several great goals and assists.
She is really enjoying playing for UVU.  



Dover completed his Eagle project and earned his Eagle just before turning 18!.  Yeah Dover!  Picture of Auna playing soccer.  She was at the top of her game before tearing her ACL mid season.  Click HERE for a nice article about Auna.


Dover announcing "How Can I Be" at the Summer Youth Performance.  The production was written and directed by Mindy and titled, "The Expected and the Unexpected, A Musical Review....... of sorts."  It had a lot of traditional musical type numbers and some very funny and unexpected skits. 

Okay, it looks like this post is starting to get too big for the server so I'll put captions on these pictures and then upload more videos in individual posts!

Daenon and I were invited to go with some friends to the opening of the final Harry Potter movie.  He made his wand.  Look at the detail. 


The first of August Kylee and Ryan moved to Texas.  They are staying with us until they finish renovating the home they purchased.  To find out more about Kylee and Ryan go to Kylee's blog by clicking HERE.  This is picture of Kylee with Bella and Andrew.  We watched Greg's children while he and Natalie were able to enjoy a cruise.  We had sooooo much fun with them. 


This is Dover 24 hours after getting his wisdom teeth removed.  Two days later he was wake boarding with the dentist that removed his teeth.  (The dentist happens to be my brother Greg.) 

Dover celebrated his 18th birthday in Utah.  This is  a picture from his party.
Two days later he got his wisdom teeth removed. 


While Greg and his family were here we visited the Houston  Butterfly exhibit.  I highly recommend  it.  I would say it was one of my life favorite activities.  I'm not sure what that says about my life. At the end of the exhibit you can buy bugs to eat.  Greg and his family had a feast!  I wasn't adventurous enough to try the "treats". 



After 3 and half nearly injury free seasons Auna tore her ACL.  I spent a week in Utah literally helping her get back on her feet.  She got so many gifts, phone calls, and texts.  The show of love and support was overwhelming.

Brandon not enjoying his 47th birthday.  When Brandon see's the picture in this post lets hope I live to my next birthday!
