Zac performing with Chappelow Advance & Jazz Band

This year Zac was in the Advance band and Jazz band at school. These are some photos from their Spring Concert at UCCC.

Mother's Day

Jeff, Zac and I went to church this morning and then Jeff made bread and Kobob's for dinner and we had left over cake for dessert. We played games and enjoyed the day.

Father and Son's Campout

We feed the missionaries dinner and then the boys headed off to the Father and Son's campout. Since it was raining outside Jeff and Zac picked up a movie and took the laptop. Once they were done hanging out at the fire the hungout in the back of the Jeep to stay dry and watch a movie. They got a tour of the Missle Silo the next morning and came on home. That afternoon we went to the movies with Dave and Kathy for Dave's birthday and to Famous Dave's for dinner and back to the house for German Chocolate Cake. It was delicious.

Zac in the school play Pirates of Penzance

Zac enjoys being dramatic so what better place for this than on the stage. This year at school they did the Pirates of Penzance. Here are some photos from the performances.

Zac's Spring Break...

Zac had the opportunity to go with his grandparents to Utah for Spring Break. He had a great time and enjoyed time with his cousins. One of Sienna's friends has a crush on Zac and spent a lot of time over there with the boys. Jaden has his driver's permit now. It was fun to see them on Skype. While he was gone Jeff and I went for a couple of bike rides on the Poudre Trails. It was nice to get out and ride the trail.
