Pioneer Children


"Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked" around the mall. The primary kids in our ward sang songs at the Yuba County Historical Fair held at our mall. They all looked great and the kids liked dressing up!

Drama Queen Grace



I was in a Snow White play on base. I was a dwarf named Tambourine. The names were different but I was closest to Dopey. My only line was "Oh yeah!" and I shook my tambourine. Everyone was laughing at me...it was great. I can't wait to be in another play. "Oh yeah!" (from Grace)

4th of July Fireworks, 2007

Okay, it's dark...let's start the fireworks!
Here we are at McBean Park in Lincoln waiting for the fireworks to begin! Good thing we packed lots of drinks and snacks (and bug spray)! We had a good time, but Rachel hid under a blanket on Andy's lap for the whole fireworks show. Hopefully she enjoys it more next year!





Spring Piano Recital, June 2007

Here's mom playing the piano. My piece was called "Stars and Butterflies" from the Pride and Prejudice movie soundtrack. It was awful. I completely messed it up, had to stop in the middle and start over again. I've never been so nervous...my hands shook like crazy. Grace helped me to partially redeem myself when we played our duet together. Thanks Grace!

Grace is playing her solo piece, "Millie and Tillie". She did a great job. She always wants to play perfectly. She also performed a piece, "Ballad", a duet with her mother.


Jake is performing his solo piece, "Hiawatha". He always does such a nice job, and learns very quickly. He later performed a duet with our teacher, Anikai Medlar, called "Big Chief Strong Fingers." It had a really good beat!

Jake's Cub Scout Day Camp


Chef Jake cooking up grilled cheese sandwiches on tin can stoves. It was greasy and delicious!
BB gun shooting was a highlight for all of the boys at camp. Jake is a pretty good shot...takes after his dad!
