My boys are growing up!

While we were in Utah, my sister Lori and her Brent and William took us to a Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving point(more about this later). Russell is quite used to me and such events, and is a good sport to come along (first we went to Cabela's however). Had we invited Brendon on such an adventure during his freshman, sophmore, or even (single) junior year, he would have found a pickup volleyball game for sure on a Saturday afternoon... but now we have Stephanie!! I am liking having more girls in and around our family, especially when my sons are as happy as they are ;). We had a terrific afternoon in the beauty of the park!

Then this past Friday night was a bit of an event. A Triple date with my sons. Grant & Julia, and Jordan and his girlfriend Breana, Russell & Me. Proof again of having more girls in and around our family being stupendous, because things like going to see my sister in her play, my sons have poo-pooed in the last few years. So it was great spending time with my boys and their girls. I so very much thank Julia and Breana for helping to infuse not only a bit of family time, but a bit of culture too.

Tara was surprised at our being in the audience, but the purple tulips delivered right before the show kinda tipped her off. Tara is a shining light on any stage she graces. She surely was the best in "Company". And she is one terrific little sister, friend, dancer, actress and aunt...
