Visit to Tucson

The Whitney's invited me to come with them to visit Lincoln this weekend.  It was a great day.  Lincoln had the activities planned for us and did a great job.  We started at the Pima Air Museum, then over for a hike in a natural preserve.  After that we stopped by the Tucson Temple so the kids could see it and then finished at a Mexican food restaurant.  We hoped to sit outside in the patio area but that changed when the  rain started coming down.  The food was amazing.

This was the Air Force One that President Johnson flew on

Ellis' "Handy" Work

This weekend Ellis did Lexy's nails.  Who would have thought it!  The theme of the nails were from "Over the Garden Wall."   

Happy Birthday Ava!

Battle of the Books!

I was able to attend Graham's school's program "Battle of the Books" today.  There were five teams.  They were given three books to read and study from (I only remember a couple of them--Artimas Fowl, Bunnicula) and then they came together with the other teams where they were given quotes from the book and had to tell the name of the book and the author in the first round.  Then they had to answer questions about things in the book in the second phase.  Graham and his team did a great job.  After the program they were each given their next books to read and study before the next battle in early December for round two.  Graham was the spokesman for his group and he did an amazing job!

Jeremy

Tonight Jeremy had his first orchestra performance of the year at the University of Nebraska.  I was able to watch it and it was really nice to see and hear.  I am so used to attending the Whitney's concerts over the last six years so it was interesting to see so many university students of all ages participating.  Great job Jeremy!

Friday Night Football!

Peter is one of the corner backs on his high school football team.  On Friday his team played their best and sadly for the other team they didn't have a chance.  Peter is #7!

Anniversary Trip

Perry and Makylee celebrated their first anniversary with a trip to New York and up into Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.  Perry sent these pictures to me today.  They brought back some wonderful memories for me.
