James & Christy

James and Christy were married in the Bountiful Temple! It was such a glorious day, all seven of my siblings were in the temple together, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine, and the spirit of the day.

It was such a glorious week, we stayed up much too late every night, and got up early to keep life running smoothly. I have happy memories of that week. It sounds crazy, probably, but Christy is the final piece. She compliments James in an amazing way and completes our family.

music and more music

Several weeks back we enjoyed lots of company for my little brother's wedding. The boys enjoyed playing guitar with Grandpa, who was here from St. Louis.

Anna performed in her first violin recital, she played several renditions of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She did such a nice job!







The four elementary age kids performed in the school choir concert. Zachary sang a solo: "New York New York", and Anna sang a solo for one verse of "Grandma's Feather Bed." It was a delightful concert featuring songs through the years. We had visitors from Maryland (thanks Mindy and Thomas!) and Grammy. We also welcomed Grandpa Tech & Linda as well as Grandma & Grandpa Wright to the evening performance.

being trustworthy

Last month Zachary and Anna were both recognized in the monthly Character Ed Assembly for being trustworthy. Way to go! Some of Zachary's best friends were recognized also, it's great to have good friends!

hunting

Easter was just fun. The kids dyed eggs, hunted plastic candy filled eggs, and multi-colored hard boiled eggs at Grandma Wright's (fun with cousins!) and at home. Fortunately, Scout found and ate only one real egg.
