Strings Concert

Junior and Eggs on Toast have been able to participate in the "Strings in the Schools" program here, learning to play the violin.  These pictures and video are from their first concert, which was in December.

Behind the beginning group are more advanced students playing the melody.

They were a little nervous, but they did a great job!

Time to Backtrack

I just realized that I never posted about Thanksgiving.  So here it is...Thanksgiving 2012!

We went to Utah to spend it with our family and friends.

Junior was sick much of the time we were there.

We hiked Y Mountain the morning after feast day.

It was a beautiful, crisp fall day and felt great to get moving after stuffing ourselves the day before.

Junior still was not feeling great, so this is how he made it up the mountain.  Brandon earned the name "He-Man" for this.  This is a tough hike even without 60 extra pounds on your shoulders.  (And, let's be honest--especially if you are not in shape to begin with--right, Brandon?)

The boys loved spending more time with their cousins.

These three have been working really hard to perfect their GQ poses.

This was going to be our Christmas card photo (if we had sent them) because we look so awesome.

We were thankful for a fun and safe vacation!

Groovin' in the Morning (with Bed Head)

One recent Saturday morning Brandon was blasting TMBG.  Here is what the boys did.

I need an invisible camera.

Time Keeps on Slippin' Slippin' Slippin'...

The first day of 2013 dawned cold and bright.  So here is what we did:

May we all slip with grace, excitement, and joy into this new year!
