Marching Band and Fun with Grandkids

Kathryn playing a duet in the marching band show. She is on the left. The show this year was fabulous!! We are both a little sad it is over. The band placed 5th at the BOA Regional Championships last weekend in St. George. Everyone was thrilled about the experience

Fun video of Emma, grandma and grandpa playing with JJ, Kelsie and Max!! We got our exercise that night.


Kelsie was a clown and JJ an army guy for Halloween. The Clown costume was made by Grandma Mahoney and has been worn by many over the years!!

The Banana Bus, Laura and Aaron, Steven









I had a wonderful time in Ohio visiting Chris and Natalie and kids. Chris went to a conference in San Francisco for part of the time that I was there so I was a help to Natalie while he was gone. The kids are great and busy. Natalie is feeling well and also very busy and tired!! We went to a farm that had fun things to do.
