Sista Shower!

I know I'm posting this a while after it happened, but better late than never. We threw my sister Andrea a baby shower for her and baby #4. It is always so awesome to be with my sisters and just talk and reconnect. Baby was born 2 days ago and I hear is doing awesome! 9 lb 9 oz. I've done that before. Kudos to Andrea! Love you girl!

Vivace for General Authorities

April 6, our group sang for the 1st and 2nd Quorum of the Seventy and the Presiding Bishopric for their end of conference dinner. We did a 20 minute program and the hubbies were invited for a nice dinner. We had to wear our skirts that were 3/4 length and we looked a bit like the General Authority's wives. Good practice for later, right? Ha HA! It was a bit surreal, but we got a standing ovation, so I guess we were a hit. We are practicing for our concert at the Assembly Hall on June 12. Hope we can pull it all together!

Having fun with Vivace!

I have been having a blast with my womens group that I am playing the piano for. We are excited because we actually have two paid gigs in February! This will be the first time that we are being paid to have fun! This group has become some of my closest friends as we have spent alot of time getting to know one another in December as we were driving from Ogden to Alpine.
On another exciting note, Josh has received an Honors at Entrance Scholarship at the U of U. He is also eligible to continue on to receive the Presidential Scholarship which he will hear whether he receives one in March. Spencer got his ACT back and got a 28. That is awesome considering the night before he asked Chris for all the math formulas he might need. Megan went on to Council in her Reflections Visual Arts category in school. She did a watercolor of her Grandma Brockbank. It is really cute!
All the elementary school kids have been off track this month. I think I'm about ready to send them right back :) One more week left!

Les Miserable

I got my hot little hands on some photos of Josh in les Miserables. He played Marius who basically gets to sing with all the cute girls in the play :)
Josh was awesome in the musical; even with a cold!

Festival of Trees

My sisters and I did the Festival of Trees again this year. I use the term "I" loosely here. My sisters put alot of work into planning and executing the tree-making. I pretty much show up and cut the wire and pick up the garbage. They are much more creative than I. Let the pros handle it, right? The tree sold and I was so excited because there were quite a few that didn't. I always say that I won't do it again because I'm not a real decorator type person and it takes all day to do it, but then when I get there, the time flies and it is so much fun to reconnect with my sisters.

Random Fall Sampler!

Just some fall pictures when we were in Butterfield Canyon!

The Pigs Have Flown to Our House!

Yup! We have the dreaded swine flu at our house. Spencer was tested positive for H1N1. Some of us have been sick before him, so we can only assume that we had it also. Megan has also started with it. So currently the lucky program winners who have not been sick are Samantha and Lauren!
This comes as a bad time as it is the end of the quarter next week for the Bigs.
Other news, Josh is busy with play practice. Anyone interested is Les Mis, it is November 19-23.
Chris is always busy working deals, so we are really grateful that the recession hasn't really affected us much. I just finished recording with my women's singing group. We wanted to put together a Christmas demo for LDS church. We are all hanging in there, but I will be glad when the Littles are back on track and the Sickies are back at school and well.
