Back to School Night @ LHS

Singing the School Alma Mater

The Chamber Singers are on the Lemoore Advance website for the Freedom Walk they did on 9/11/09. Go to - http://www.thelemooreadvance.com/ and follow the link for the Band. The Chamber singers are in the middle of the video.

Farah was asked to sing the National Anthem and Lemoore High School's Alma Mater at "Back to School Night" along with selected members from her chamber choir. Here is my first attempt at uploading short videos. Enjoy!

School Picture

It's that time of year again, school pictures... say cheese! This is Farah's sophomore picture. It's hard for me to believe that my baby is 15, a sophomore in high school, and 5' 8". Farah recently sang "The Star Spangled Banner" at a September 11th memorial, complete with a fly over by the Navy of course!

February 2004 our Pugs, had puppies! We have been fortunate to stay in touch with two of the puppy’s owners throughout the years. Recently I received an e-mail from Gracie's owner, Catherine Deeter; she told me that she and Gracie would be featured in "Better Homes & Garden" magazine. So, here are the pictures from the magazine- doesn't Gracie have a lovely home? It makes us happy to know that our (former) puppy has such a wonderful home, and owner. Something to woof about!

We spent the weekend at the beach- the weather was perfect. We made s'mores, combed the beach for sea shells, and kicked back. It was very relaxing ... unfortunately Scott had work and a speaking assignment (church) to attend to at home. On the way home we met Grandma & Poppy at the "Madonna Inn" they made it in time for dessert!

After spending two days in Las Vegas we arrived in Salt Lake City a little before 4:00 AM Saturday, August 8th. Kathleen & Daven were married in the Jordan River Temple. Sadly I missed the wedding- due to exhaustion. We slept for a few hours then drove to American Fork to pick up Falyn's boyfriend Andrew who flew from Oklahoma (where he works) to be her wedding date. We arrived in time to see the bride and groom leaving the temple. We went to a luncheon at the church next door to the temple. It was so good to visit with family. I was asked to DJ for the reception- it was so much fun. And, yes Debra I will mail you a copy of ALL of the music ASAP! Kathleen wanted a traditional reception, cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, and a dance. And, boy did she DANCE!!! She was glowing...
