Due West Weekend!

This past weekend we had a fundraiser benefit concert for some friends of ours. We invited the group Due West to perform here in Montpelier. They are a new band that is on the brink of exploding into the country music scene! They are Tim Gates, Brad Hull and Matt Lopez! They arrived Thursday and left Saturday night. We are they're newest and biggest fans! To find out more about them visit www.duewest.com! We had an absolute blast having them in Montpelier. They performed Thursday at the Oregon Trail Center to a sell out crowd and then we had the privilege of a "Live and Unplugged" performance in our living room!!! I have never heard anything like we heard that night in my living room. There were memories created that night that I will never ever forget! I can't wait until they make the big time so that the whole world can hear what we did that night. Hopefully we made them feel welcome enough to come again! We have them scheduled to come in the summer with their entire band. We can't wait!!!

Back To School!!

Elsie started her 1st year of preschool this year. I can't believe I have 3 kids in school!!! It makes me feel so old! Elsie is excited to learn her ABC's & 123's and to learn how to read! Her teachers are Miss Joey and Miss Laurie.

Lydia started Kindergarten this year. Her teacher is Mrs. Cammack. She's been sooooo ready for this, since her birthday is September she missed the deadline last year. She's excited to get AR points and learn math.

Peytons 1st day of 3rd Grade. His teacher is Mrs. Massey who was my 3rd grade teacher. He's really excited to learn his times tables and learn to write in cursive this year.

Diamond Rio Concert

Thanks to Dorian & Angie for getting us VIP tickets, backstage passes. We were on the front row and got to meet the band before the show. It was one of the neatest experiences we've had going to concerts. The Grunigs were in the same ward as Dan Truman (keyboards) when they lived in Tennesee. We owe you guys big time. I even caught a guitar pick! (Well actually I bent over and picked it off the ground because no one else was paying attention, but who cares I got it!!!!)
