Todd's Solo

Todd and his good buddy Reegan!

Todd and Mrs. Garner (his music teacher). Thanks for all your hard work, Mrs. Garner!

All the 4th and 5th graders of Rupert Elementary.

Todd sang a solo tonight in the joint 4th grade/5th grade Patriotic Program for his school. He sang "Let There Be Peace on Earth". He did an AMAZING job!!!! We are so proud of him. He worked really hard on it and received many, many compliments. Good job, bud. You're growing up so quickly. It's hard to believe you'll recieve the priesthood this year.

I noticed tonight, as he was getting ready for the concert, that he is changing all of a sudden. There's hardly any little boy left in him. I'm sad and happy about that at the same time. The years are flying by too quickly.

Kate's Special Day

I can't believe my little girl is 8! This past Saturday she had the opportunity to be baptized on her birthday. She just happened to turn 8 on the first Saturday of the month (which is our designated Stake baptism day). We had a beautiful service, attended by many wonderful friends and family members. Thank you all for your wonderful support and kindness. A big thank you to those who travelled so far to be with us. It was such a special day. Kate felt like a princess. She reaaly felt loved and cherished. It was wonderful having so much family there. We love you all!

Grandma Rose and Uncle James gave beautiful talks at her baptism, and all the cousins plus Sadie and Emma Tribe sang "When I Am Baptized" accompanied by Regan. She is such a great little pianist! They were a darling group and sang like little angels.

I'm so proud of Kate for taking this important step in her life. She is such a special little angel girl. We're blessed beyond measure to have her in our family.

More Valentine Fun!

We had a great Valentine's day this year. It was so fun to have that special day fall on a Sunday so we could spend the day together as a family. Kate had another cute heart hairdo for church and we made heart-shaped pizzas for dinner. Fun stuff! :)
