Utah for Spring Break

3-28-08: During spring break, almost 20 families from SoCal headed to Brian Head, Utah, for some fun in the snow. We had great weather (though no powder) and Keri and Summer definitely improved their snowboarding and skiing skills, respectively.

Fun in the snow!


Fun out of the snow, too!


And so ends our 2nd trip to Brian Head. Lots of memories of great times with family and friends. Watch for the video clips here in this blog soon!

Easter @ Redlands

3-22-08: We also saw the Easter play at Redlands Church. They approached the Passion play through the eyes of 3 women who were touched by Jesus. Very well done! Summer knew some of the actors.

Easter Play 2008

3-24-08: Once again, the Azure Hills Church, under the direction of Pastor Alex, led out in our production of the Easter program. Corey did a great job playing Jesus (again), and Mary was played superbly by Vivian Makowski. Check out the slide show for some shots--sorry I didn't take any shots of the actual play--I was busy on one of the video cameras! We did 4 programs to capacity crowds and it was quite a blessing for all of us involved.

March Misc. Happenings

March started off fast and furious. The time is flying by! Check it out...

Helped the Adventurers with their fund raiser at the XRtainment Zone. Started off with vespers.

Another b-day party that Summer went to--this time for another RST teammate, Emily (in middle). See Summer's blog for more pictures!

Guests of Steve and Sheila Hodgkin allowed us to get all dressed up--this was the LL Children's Hosp. gala. Chance to show off my new tux. Going to another gala and found that tux rentals have gone up quite a bit since I lasts rented, so with a sale, it was cheaper to buy!

Some of the women, all dressed up for this gala.

Josh and Summer were selected to play in an "honor's recital" based on their performance in the previous testing. Here's Josh jamming on his piece.
Summer played with virtual no mistakes (that I could hear!). Whew!
With teacher Helen and her awards.

More February Fun

Here are more things that happened in Feb. '08. Enjoy!

Spring JO's

Feb. '08: Over 40 RST kids made it to Spring Junior Olympics this year. That's the most RST has ever sent! To get there, you have to make JO times in the events you want to enter, so that was a great accomplishment for all of them. Summer was qualified to swim in events, so she swam Fri. Sat. night, and Sun. What a long but fun weekend!

Early 2008

Here are some misc. shots from the start of 2008. Enjoy!
