Whats Up!

Last night Brig was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Woo woo! He was also voted in as the Activity Leader. So, he had a part in the program. He lit the green candle and talked about why "character" is important. Way to go Brig- keep up the good work! Last week our family was asked to perform a musical number in sacrament meeting. Seeing as how Brigham (Dad) is the only one who can carry a tune- we pulled out the ol' hand bells. We had a fabulous rendition of "I Am A Child of God." The kids did a good job, although many commented that Brig had a look on his face that said- "Aren't I too old for this?" I can't blame him-but he was a good kid and did what he was asked to do.
See all the boxes in the background? Those are our lights for Redd Haven. We are also packing up the rental. We should be able to move next week. How crazy is that?
Katry participated in "Crazy Hair Day", at school. I was surprised she let me do something. She is generally quite reserved and only wants tom-boy ponytails.
She wins the prize every day for CUTEST EVER! Did I mention Katry also got straight A's for the semester, was chosen to help struggling second graders learn to read, cause she is a great reader, AND was one of only seven kids in her entire school to receive a perfect score on the state writing assessment. Of course we would expect nothing less from a former home-schooler! Way to go Chachy-nanna!

Sounds like Life is Wonderful! Super proud of Katry... and Brig! You are Awesome!
We sang a week or two ago in sacrament meeting too... We just didn't have the bells.. Wish I could have been around to hear you!
What would I give to be around to help you pack up and unpack... watch the kids and supply you some meals. Keep us posted on the moving in. I can't wait to see it!

Loved the bell picture and comment about Brig not being excited but doing what he was asked to do --- what a great thing!!! I hope my kids will get that lesson learned! You are an awesome example! We will miss you this Thursday at our Recipe Swap!!!

Yippee for piano lessons!!! I miss you guys, too, and am pleased to know that I am "young and fun." :) Love Katry's hair, and congrats to Brig. And nothing says "Redd family" like handbells.
Good luck with the move!
