Krista, live in Concert

Krista is 6th from the right bottom row

The sunday after Thanksgiving, Krista had her choir concert at the assembly hall (Temple Square). She tried out and made the Riverton Children Concert Choir this fall and they had their Christmas concert. She loves to sing and perform for any and all who will listen. After the concert since we were already there we walked around temple square to see the lights.

Monday night we had her piano recital, again anyone who wants to listen; she is more then happy to play. She is getting really good (if I do say so myself) and so far she still loves it. She has a wonderful teacher who loves teaching her. No it's not me!

I am glad for many things, many things, many things; I am glad for many things that are mine today.

Thank you, Thank you my heart sings, my heart sings, my heart sings, Thank you for the many things, that are mine today.

We sang that song in Primary today then listed some of the things we were thankful for. Too many to list on a blog.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This year we spent Thanksgiving in Sunny St. George, it was cool on Thurs, but that didn't stop the boys from playing football for 3 hours. I think the "older boys" realized they are "older". We didn't have much "leftovers", which means we were a bunch a little piggies around the table.

On Sat. before we left to come home we took everyone up to the red hill for some family pictures. I don't have all the pictures I want, but some from my little camera turned out pretty good.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and took a minute to be grateful for all that you (and I) do have.

2nd best in the state

Well, we finish up playing (watching) Justin play in the state cup. His team did a great job, they have played in the state cup games before but have never made it was far as they did this time. They played so well together, and we had so much fun watching them. They have come a long way in the couple of years we've had this new coach. They can't complain about a silver medal in a state tournament. There were 16 other teams in his age group and they came out being number 2. Next year they will be looking for that number one spot. Had they won they would have gone to So. Cal. in June. With the silver they may go as a team on a wild card. If not they are in line to play in Washington State is summer.
