Richard's Clean Desk

It's not too often you'll see my desk this clean!

Jazz Band

Here's Ryan with the Jazz Band (they met after school to learn how to play Jazz) back in March. That was fun, too!

Ryan Plays Trumpet

Ryan recently performed with his school band in a concert. They played some wonderful music - we are waiting for the CD so we can hear it again. Ryan has been playing the trumpet for 2 school years now, and really enjoys it. We like band concerts, because the music isn't as long as at Choir and Orchestra concerts. The 9th grade band and High School band are on the stage behind Ryan, and all three bands joined together to play "76 Trombones" from The Music Man. It was FABULOUS! Keep up the playing, Ryan!

Stephen Had a Birthday Party

He invited several friends to the pool with him. He loves the water, and jumping off the diving board. Ryan went swimming, too and seemed to have a fun time. After swimming they had "mud pies", and played games together. At the end, Stephen said, "That was the best birthday party ever!!"

Spring Break Trip

Just before Easter, we took a trip to SLC, to spend a few days away from home. One of the places we visited was Temple Square. We took a tour of the Conference Center (can you say WOW!), and took a picture of us by the Temple. For those who know Aunt Rachelle, you'd swear she was in this picture! It really is Melanie, but could be Aunt Rachelle.

This is a beautiful fountain in the Conference Center. It is a lovely piece of artwork as well!

This is the ceiling above the fountain. I think it would make a cool quilt.

These are some beautiful flowers on Temple Square. I just love the colors and the hope of spring.

It was a little cool there, but still nicer than Cache Valley was. We enjoyed several movies, some at the Planetarium. One was "Under the Sea" on IMAX in 3D. So we got to wear these neat glasses.



Then, the kids had a race up the stairs at the Gateway. Ryan tripped, so I'm not sure who won the race. We ate some really great food at the Thaifoon Restaurant there. Melanie got to shop a whole lot (her favorite activity), and got lots of new clothes, mostly at Hollister.

We went to the top of the Church Office Building (first time for all of us), and enjoyed some really great views of the valley, including this one of Temple Square.
