Piano Recital

Mitchell and Matthew played beautifully at their Christmas Recital.  I was so proud of them. Matthew played an arrangement of Good King Wenceslas, and a medley of "In the Bleak Mid Winter and "Away in a Manger." Mitchell played "Joy to the World" and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear." 

Matthew and Piano

Matthew loves playing the piano and had a wonderful Christmas recital with all of his piano students.  He also played the "Maple Leaf Rag" at a Stars Assembly at his Junior High!

Happy 15th Birthday Matthew!

We adore this handsome guy!  He is such a high achieving young man with the most charming smile in the world! 

Happy Halloween

For Halloween we had a family party at our house complete with a spooky dinner and visit from Jiggly Puff!

Matthew dressed up as Zorro for his Halloween Orchestra concert, and we all enjoyed decorating pumpkins for our Halloween Family Home Evening. 

Fall Break: Moonshine Arch

Our last stop of fall break was Moonshine Arch.  It was a terrific hike and the arch was more spectacular than we imagined! 

Fall Break: Dinosaur National Monument (Harper's Corner)

We also went on a beautiful hike called Harper's Corner that took us to a breathtaking look out point.

Fall Break: Dinosaur National Monument

We spent our Fall break in the Uinta Basin Area and had a wonderful time! 

Our first stop was McConkie Ranch!  We went on a short hike that lead to an abundance of Native American petroglyphs!  Mitchell was in heaven and made his own sketches and notes about each one.  

We also spent a day at Dinosaur National Monument.  The quarry was amazing and had countless dinosaur bones contained in the rock!

Our favorite hike of the day was at Josie's Ranch.  The fall leaves were simply stunning and the trail was perfect!
