Whitney’s Latest Recital

Posted by Jason under Whitney

Whitney had a recital a couple weeks ago, but they didn’t allow video cameras inside, so we just recorded her playing at home. She did a very good job at the recital, although she was kind of nervous. There was a lot of people there and it was kind of a new experience for her. She actually made a small error during the live performance, but she got her scores back and got two “Superior” ratings, and both judges complemented her on the way she quickly and seamlessly recovered from the error.

She ended up doing a great job though and, as you can see, plays the piece quite well.

Awards Assembly

Mason has watched Whitney rack up all sorts of awards at school since we’ve been here, and this semester was his first chance to get an award of his own. Luckily, he was chosen as a Superstar Student so he got an award. There weren’t very many kids chosen out of his class, so I’m glad he was one of them.

Whitney also got a couple awards; she was chosen because she got two good report cards last semester. Pictures after the break. (more…)

We had work and school off for Martin Luther King day and decided to take a trip. We went to Theodore Roosevelt Park, which is on an island in DC.

It was a pretty good trip. Even though it was cold, the kids had a lot of fun running around and exploring the island. Whitney eventually ended up near death, as you can see by the pictures, and we almost had to leave her behind. She was able to (more…)

christmas 2003I’m cleaning out my old computer and found a bunch of pictures. This particular batch was all organized and just happened to be pictures of our Christmas back in 2003. From the looks of it we spent most of Christmas in Pocatello with Heidi’s family.

There are a bunch of photos following the break. (more…)

Godzilla Wii Game

One of the things Mason loves is Godzilla. One of the things his Grandma and Grandpa got him and Whitney for Chrismas was a Godzilla game for the Wii. They both like the game, but especially Mason. He plays it all the time. Every morning it is the first thing he wants to do.

Whitney is pretty good too, although she won’t play it for hours on end like Mason. Here is a video of them playing the Godzilla Wii game.

Christmas 2007

We got over Christmas with no major malfunctions. The kids opened up a present or two on Christmas Eve and then we went over to some friends house. We had a good meal and got back to the house before Santa Claus arrived.

The kids left out some letters for Santa, wanting him to take a picture of himself (Mason) and leave presents for the rabbit (Whitney). The rabbit is now named Sassy, too.

Mason loves pop, and so we try to have root beer around for the holidays. We had some good root beer in bottles for him in the fridge, but he would drink them all in one day if it were up to him. But they are the kind he can’t open, so he (more…)
