"All Flowers Remind Us of You..."

For Mother's Day, Cass used her craftyness to make Mom a nice shadowbox of her babies. It turned out really good and, of course, Ma shed some tears : ) From top left to bottom right: Chris, Jen, Meg, Dan, Jord. Weren't we a cute group o' chubs??

Jen and Meg sent these fruity flowers to mother. I must say, I didn't know flowers like this grew naturally : ) It also had a card that said "All flowers remind me of you."

Also, for a big ward auction to raise money for the Young Women's Girl's Camp, Mother dearest conconcted these dandy treats. Candy sushi! You don't have to like seafood to like this sush, ya just have to dig sugar! Good job, Mom (me and dad did bid on a couple plates o' these babies)

All sushi reminds of you, Ma! We love ya!

"Jordan's" New Toy

Fun for the whole family!

This drumset is electronic. Which means, luckily for the rest of us, it can be played wearing headphones! It is also hooked to a sound module thing which makes it possible for the drums to sound like things ranging from steel drums to voices! Kind of neat really. Jordan is now learning to play the drums from Dad and from the instructional videos and books that Dad purchased for him. Soon, Jordan can join the ranks in the Kirkham Rock Band....

Lucky Kid...

Daniel made it into Jazz Band for next year at the Junior High!

He started playing the trombone back in fall. The other day, out of the blue he says to mom,

"Oh yeah, I made Jazz Band....... Ya know, I must be like the luckiest kid in the world or something. Because, I didn't even go to the real try outs.... then my teacher told me to just come try out this morning. I didn't even practice or anything. And then I made it."

I think it is more due to his incredible knack for music than luck, really. But, either way, Congrats Daniel! Way to go! We look forward to hearing you Jazz it up next year!
