A Season of Concerts
This is Kade, the small guy in the middle, getting ready for his orchestra concert. I forgot my camera, so we only have this one from Jeff's phone. He really liked doing the concert, but orchestra was before school and he didn't like going early, so he quit after this.
If I can find him an after school class, or lessons, I think he'll pick it up again. He was proud of himself.
Nicholas was in honors band. They had to try out and only chose a few from each school.
They invite a guest conductor and have an all middle school, one day event of practice and then a concert that night.
It was quite good.
The bad thing is, he didn't feel good at all that day, but we knew he had to go. Now he has been chosen by his teacher (two to the right of him) out of all the band students at his school to go to All-State in the Spring.

Halloween 2009
Happy Halloween!
First we had trunk or treat with our ward last week and got a lot of candy.
This year was a little bit different. For the first time we let the boys go with their friends. A sign of age for Jeff and me. Then Jeff and I took turns taking Samantha out. I love that we don't have to wear our warm winter coats. We had a cold front earlier in the week, but we didn't even need jackets. Most people just sit in their yards and wait for the kids to come by. Many homes in our neighborhood did spook alleys or decorated their yards, and a couple of block parties. A lot of people were out. We didn't have many at our house though. We had a black light on the porch, so they must have thought we weren't home. Anyway, Kade was scream.
Samantha was Cinderella. It was nice to take her because everyone was so nice and gave her two or three pieces since she was so cute and alone.
Derek just had a shirt that said "My sister is scary enough"
Out stake had a young adult fireside, so Nicholas and his friends went out for about 30 minutes before and then another hour after. He decided to be a missionary since he had to be in Sunday clothes anyway. He had a lot of fun just hanging out with a group of kids. It was a nice Halloween.
