String Concert

Jarrin started playing the violin this year. He has to go to school at 7:30am three mornings a week, which is a struggle. But we make it, although sometimes a little late. He was able to play the warm-ups they do every morning as well as Hot Cross Buns. He is liking it a lot.

Japanese Visitors

The students from Kakamigahara, Japan came to visit again this year. Our host son for the three days was Yuki Yokoyama. He was a lot of fun. The first few meals we served him he had to take pictures of. He enjoyed trying all the foods we fixed for him. He brought several gifts, including some very strange tasting crackers. The first night with him we taught him to carve pumpkins and how to play yahtzee. We also had a Mario Cart battle on the Wii. The last night we had a reception for the entire group at the middle school. We enjoyed great entertainment and a spaghetti dinner. The japanese students performed a traditional dance and sang a beautiful song. We enjoyed having him stay and I think he had a great time too. Jarrin really grew to like him and especially liked playing Wii with Yuki.

Black Out Game!

The last home game of the season was against South Sevier. It was also the "blackout" game. I really like their uniforms! They also won, which was great!

Hike to the "K"!

Jarrin made it to the top!

Jarrin has been wanting to climb to the "K" for a long time. We finally made it! He did really well. He only fell once.
