Yesterday Brittany and Kirstyn had MB competition. It was cold and windy! They sounded really good but were the first ones to go when it was so cold. They placed next to last of 12 bands. Band director obviously not happy, but they learned a lot. All of us parents thought they sounded awesome! 🙂 […]
Today Brittany received her Patriarchal Blessing! She has been looking forward to and preparing for this for quite some time and was totally ready. We went to Patriarch Graves’ home and met with him for a wonderful chat before the blessing as well. The blessing was wonderful and very inspired. Brittany was very touched and
Today Zachary started choir at Aspen View Academy! He’s really excited and loves to sing. They practice every Tuesday right after school. We can’t wait to hear him perform!

This morning Brittany had her final ACT test! She was really nervous but thinks she did OK. Best of luck Brittany! This morning they also started landscaping our back yard! Yipee!!!!

Tonight, Angela and I went to Maggiano’s Italian Restaurant on a triple date with Terry and Bonnie Liddell, and Jason and Emily Morris. We had a BLAST! We ended up getting the family style dinner which is much more expensive than the regular meals, but it’s all you can eat. The waiter was AWESOME and
Tonight we had curriculum night at Castle View High School! As normal, Angela and I had to split up. 🙂 She went to Kirstyn’s schedule, and I went to Brittany’s schedule. It was great meeting the girl’s teachers. I think that they’ll have a GREAT year and learn a LOT!
Tonight the Marching Band had their first showcase (pre-competition) at Sports Authority Field in Parker (not the Sports Authority field where the Broncos play). 🙂 They did a GREAT job and played well. By the end of the season, they’ll have an AWESOME show put together that should help them go a long way! There

Today the girls got surprise flowers from one of the guys on the drumline (Zane Cartwright) who is also in the ward next to ours. 🙂 He brought Brittany a bouquet and Kirstyn a single red long-stemmed rose. It was very sweet and it made the girl’s day! Tonight the girls had a marching band
Brittany got a job! She started today at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! Yea! A fun source of income for college for her! She’s really excited to be working there and Sarah will be very excited for her as well since she worked at RMCF also before she left for BYU! I guess chocolate runs in
Tonight the high school choir program hosted a spaghetti dinner fundraiser. Brittany and Kirstyn performed “Nearer My God to Thee” in front of a huge dinner-eating crowd. Angela accompanied them and they sounded really good. The microphones weren’t the best so they cut out a bit, but they kept going on and finished strong! Ben
