A Little of What You Missed

Here is a video of some clips we got of Ryan performing in Les Miserables at the high school. The performance was amazing! Those kids are so talented and they put their whole hearts into the play. I pretty much bawled my eyes out the whole time.

(Honestly! Tracy got the video ready, but I couldn't upload it with blogger. I had to upload it on YouTube and embed it. Sheesh! This is why I don't post videos often.)

 In the final scene, Ryan at the back of the stage a little to the right of center. Watch close and you can see him here and there.

Anyway, it was absolutely incredible. If anyone lives close enough to drive down to Salem Hills High School, tonight it their last performance. You should go see it! You will be glad you did. 

On Saturday, Tracy, Rusty, Sam and Finlay wen to the annual ward turkey shoot (shotgun shooting) and Tracy and Rusty both won a turkey!  Here are some pictures:

I just love that look on his face

Our New Additions

Our two old cats, Rugen and Button, just aren't catching the mice anymore. It was time to get some new cats. I wasn't very happy at the prospect, but we had a mouse in the house last week. Ick! So, it is definitely time to do something. Our neighbor, Jay's cat had five kittens out in his hay stack, and we are now the happy owners of three of them. The kids are thrilled. They are really cute.
