Sorry that it has been so long since the last post, I've been busy lately. This picture is actually old. I just haven't put it up yet. My team won the Championship game in Winslow on Saturday March 1st. We won it by beating Winslow. To be honest with you, it was actually a pretty boring game. There was hardly any intensity in it. The game that we played before that however, was EXTREMELY intense. We were playing Holbrook and only won by 3 points. Everybody's vocal chords hurt before the Winslow game from screaming in the first game. you should have seen how it was for the girl who scored the last points, she couldn't even breathe from everybody all around her. We even tried to lift up our smallest player, but she was moving too much for that to happen.
Dustin got back from Washington D.C. on Sunday March 2Nd. He got a letter in the mail for a program that, at your expense, you get to go with a lot of other kids from all over the country to Washington D.C. and visit the monuments there. It's supposed to influence the kids to work there when they grow up. In this picture, we were at a combined family home evening. He's speaking about what it was like for him to go there. The program is called the National Youth Leadership Forum on National Security. He was the Secretary of Press for his group. Approx. 360 high school youth attended. He was there from Feb. 26-Mar2. The Family Home evening night was on March 10. They attended classes each morning and evening and went to specific sites and tours during the daytime.
These are just the cousins during the joint Home Evening. As you can probably tell, David thought it would be funny to get out of the picture. Well.... it didn't really work out.
And then the adults, who liked it apparently.
This is Dustin with some of his merchandise from Washington D.C. He got the shirt and the replica in his hands from there. In the replica, you can see the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the U.S. Capitol and
the Washington Memorial.
The Saturday before Easter, I went to Arizona's All-State for orchestra. Well, my mom couldn't find out where I was in the 1st's section until about the 3rd number, so all that I have is of my conductor. Sadly I can't remember her name, but she was a lot more fun than the conductor last year. We performed "A Grieg Portrait" , "A Westward Journey and Jubilee", "American Princess" and "Bluegrass Blowout." I thought that A Grieg Portrait was the funnest. And, not to brag or anything, but we sounded REALLY good. Oh, and just so you know, Melinda went with All three of her kids. Isn't she AMAZING!?!
This was Kenton's first year of painting eggs. I think that he had a lot of fun. But I think that the best part to him was to FIND the eggs. It was really cute especially when Kardon found an egg, because he made such a big deal out of it. :)
If you look carefully, you can see Kardon's little dimples from finding an egg.
Just a little further.......
Mom wanted to get a picture of Kenton with his Super Why cape on. I'm impressed by how well he stood still while she took the picture. Isn't he cute?!?
