Kaleidoscope Talent Show May 15, 2010

This year Ellie participated in the annual Kaleidoscope Talent Show. She played "Perpetual Motion" on the Violin. This was her first time performing in a large gym in front of people other than violin recitals. She did really well and placed 3rd in her age group. Ellie said she was so nervous her hands and fingers were slipping on the strings. It takes a lot of courage to get up in front of people and we again were very proud of her. Ellie was lucky enough to have her teacher Catherine come with us and attend the performance. I wished I had more pictures but I was to busy using the video camera, so this is it
What a great day for Ellie!

2009/2010 Sports Banquet May 25,2010

Taylor played school Basketball and Soccer this year. When he plays a sport he puts everything he has into it and tries to do his best. This year in Basketball he was able to have more playing time and really stepped it up when one of his team mates broke his collar bone. We were really proud of him and Grant couldn't stop smiling. Grant was able to make it to most of his games which was amazing. Taylor also played spring soccer and loved every second of the season.

I had a picture of him holding up both of his awards but I can't figure out how to turn it right side up. Sorry, it was a good picture
