Visit with My Friend Michelle

I am so glad I got to see my friend Michelle when she was in town for her daughter's volleyball tournament! I even got to see one of her daughter's matches. We had fun chatting and catching up!

FSY for Jonny

Jonny has had a wonderful week at FSY! We can tell because he barely communicated with us, haha! He had his own room, but he and the boy next door shared a bathroom so he kind of had a roommate.

Here are a few fun pictures of Jonny with his company.

We are so glad he was able to have this amazing experience! He felt the Spirit and made great friends and he says it was his favorite one yet. 

Daniel's 19th Birthday

We had fun going to see The Sheep Detectives the week before his birthday.

Osaka was his request for a birthday dinner, of course! We went on Friday night.

He enjoyed his cookie cake, as always, and he liked the games we got him. We all played Catan together after we had our dessert.

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Daniel's Trip to South Carolina

Daniel and his friends went on a trip to Charleston, South Carolina to visit his friend, Chase, who is stationed there at the Naval Weapons station. They got off to a rough start with a five hour delay on their flight out of Phoenix, but it all worked out. They had a great time exploring and hanging out!

Michael's Visit to Alabama for the Air Power Forum

Michael spent a week in Alabama for the Air Power Forum at the Air Command and Staff College. The title of his paper that he presented was, "Air Control Over Russia: A Strategic Analysis and Implications for Future Implementation." It went really well and he received many compliments. He went to the library there and the workers remembered him. He also found out that they still use some of his writings in ACSC classes.

He had fun reconnecting with friends from church and from work while he was there.

Jonny's Awards Ceremony

This is the 11th underclassmen award ceremony I have attended. It's always fun to watch my kids walk across the stage to be honored for high academic achievement. Jonny has earned a 4.52 GPA! Congratulations, Jonny!

Dancing With the Stars

I had so much fun at the Dancing With the Stars show tonight! It was amazing!

It took me almost an hour to get there. I parked at the garage and I walked over to the Yard milkshake bar to try their cookie dough. I walked back to my car and put my leftovers in there and then walked over to the Arizona Financial Theatre. It's the same place where Jonny and I saw Benson Boone the first time. I was a little disappointed that even though I was in row nine and paid a good amount of money for my seat, I was on the floor so the people in front of me blocked my view quite a bit. I could see the dancers most of the time but I'd have to crane my neck quite a lot because the stage wasn't especially high. However, I had a fantastic time! The dancing was incredible! They danced for an hour and then they had about a 15 minute intermission. Then they danced for another hour. The professional dancers were Emma Slater, Jenna Johnson, Val Chmerkofsky, Ezra Sosa, Alan Burton, Pasha, Brit, and Whitney. I was so excited when Whitney came out a little bit later with Robert Irwin. Jordan Chiles was also there and Andy Richter. They also had a guy named Keegan and then Hailey who is Jenna's niece and another girl but I don't know her name. I think that's everyone. The dances were amazing! I don't think I could even name my favorite but pretty much anything Whitney was in. I wish she had been in more numbers but it was all fantastic!
