Carter did a great job with his play this morning. I will post some videos later. He was a narrator. He spoke very clearly and did a very nice job. We were so proud of him. GREAT JOB CARTER!

More from the Treble Singers

I thought this song was so cute!!!

Treble Singers Recital

Michael and Jenn did such a great job in their recital. Michael really carried the Men's parts as the other boy in the group lost his voice. :( We were so proud of them!!! Here are two of the songs. I will download some more later.

Sitting in Washington Square listening to some British musicians.


I had a really nice and relaxing trip to New York City - we went to three shows - West Side Story, 9 to 5, and Phantom of The Opera - we went on a food tour of Greenwich Village (which we LOVED) , walked through Central Park and had several Obama encounters. All in all - it was a wonderful weekend.

Look at that hair!!!

We all got a kick out of the picture on Jake's pool pass from the last couple years. They finally made him take a new picture for this year's pass. But this picture will ever be a family favorite.

Primary Activity

We had our quarterly Activity on Friday. We had a missionary appreciation night. All of the kids got missionary badges, tried foods from all over the world, had a bike race (with tricycles and wiggle bikes), and wrote letters to our missionaries out in the field. Finally, the missionaries showed up for a "meeting" and were surprised with cake and a box full of food, supplies, and treats for them to take home. It was a fun evening.

Memorial Day

We broke tradition this year and did not go to Kings Dominion. The kids were a bit bummed - but we needed some time to rest and get things done around the house. We had a productive day. Matthew however continued to go from party to party all weekend. Here are a few shots from the picnic/party Amy planned. It turned out so fun and all the kids seemed to have fun. Way to go Amy.

Another Pops Song

I think this is the Show Choir - Nicest Kids in Town - please notice in every video that I have a shot of the cute balloon arch I did. VERY cute!

Jake's trip to the reston zoo

I went with jacob and his class to the Reston Zoo today for their final field trip. We had a really fun time. Jake was so excited to go - since his brothers had all gone on fun trips (Va Beach, Busch Gardens and Williamsburg). Here are a few shots.
