April 08, 2009

Doug turns 40 April 9th, 2009. We had a small get together to help him celebrate last weekend. We had some great friends over, new and old. I think it was a bit of a surprise and he enjoyed the evening. Here are a couple of pictures.

Nathan's School Project

Nathan had to put together a project for his language/humanities class. He was reading books that took place during the Harlem Renaissance. He just had to pick the option of purchasing and wearing a Zoot Suit. I have to say, he is pretty handsome. And he must have thought so too, as he took many self pictures!

Trip to DC

Kaleb sent in an audition tape to the OAKE National Music Conference. He was one of 150 young adults who made it (out of 500 + applicants!). That meant that we got to spend 6 days with him in our nation's capital! He received his music in December and had to have it all memorized and pitched by our arrival in March. We planned on flying out on a Tuesday and meeting him in DC. Our weather was beautiful and we had no problems leaving Tucson. Kaleb, however, had a cancelled flight directly out of RS due to weather. He got a later flight and made it to DC that evening at 9:45.
We did a lot of site seeing...saw all the important monuments.

The concert was phenomenal. Constitional Hall was beautiful. It was amazing to see young adults from all over the nation, come together and perform with such precision. It was an honor to be there listening.

We are very proud of our young man.
