Sam's band concert photos from my phone

It was my parents' 48th anniversary, but they came to support Sam with his final year of high school band.  He really is very enjoyable to listen to.  He played with his band (picolo), a combined one and an ensemble group of 4 (flute).

 

Evelyn Orchestra

Here are the pictures of Evelyn's orchestra concert from my phone.  It was cold and rainy, but she was bright and smiley.  Grandma Wilcox was able to make it to this one.

She was so cute.  She saw me and knows that it's hard to get a picture of her behind everyone so she paused with me in view and waited for me.  It was perfect.

Silly big kids.  We were ready to play games before bed and they were being all giggly.

We had an amazing D&D session.  It was so funny.  There were magic potions, size changing badgers, ninjago snake guys, etc.... it was fun.

Sam and Jer and training for a half marathon together.  It's Sam's first one, but Jer said that he's doing amazingly.  

Evelyn and I got to go on a temple date together to the Mt Timp temple.  That was fun.  I haven't been to that one in ages.

My mom, Evelyn and I went to the Snow White ballet together.  It was so cute.  Evelyn LOVED the dwarfs and was talking about how she would love one of their roles and how she knew which dwarf was which.  It was fun to be with these two wonderful women.

Jer and I went to the symphony with Jim, Amy, Jon and Isabelle (first time goer).  It was pretty and rainy.... including a double rainbow right above the newly finished (outside) Salt Lake temple.

But along with the rain, our neighborhood flooded again.  Our house, our neighbor's home and the row of town homes all needed to be bailed out.  Nick made the comment, "Thank you for coming to our annual 100 year storm clean up.  I really wish that we could nail down a day for it."

Jim and Jer working on trains.

Evelyn and I have been seeing a specialist about her eyes.  They want to detach the muscles from both eyes, straighten them out and reattach them again.  She's trying to decide what to do.  I'm trying to research the surgeon.

Nellie's birthday

 

For Nellie's birthday, we went up to Sundance and rode the gondolas up the mountain.  It was fun and I enjoyed chatting with each person as we went up and back.  Then we went out for lunch before I headed back to take care of Evelyn after school needs.  Happy birthday Nella! 

Some of the cousins wanted to get together for a hotdog and games night before starting their college semester.  It is fun to see these grown up kids.  The times that I've picked up toys or wiped down tables behind their games....worth it to talk to the adults they've become.
