Ryan and his friend Joshua in one of the two 7th Grade bands. They are on the far right, in the back row, both play trombone and are 1st and 2nd chair.

These pictures aren't very clear because I had to zoom in x16.

Ryans good friends in the back playing drums . . . you can only see the tops of their heads, but that's better than nothing.

I only managed to get one "real" picture after the concert (without having to zoom in). Wish I would have taken more. Ryan is really enjoying band and in fact just joined the Owasso Orchestra. It is mainly home school students, but will be a really good experience for him.

Amber likes to cook and fix herself some unique meals. She recently got a DS Game called Cooking Mama which has also helped her come up with unique recipes. This was a lunch she fixed. She took some rice that we buy in individual containers and microwaved it, then fried it with an egg, chives, garlic, cheese, and added some ham on a flour tortilla. She has made some odd things sometimes, but she usually eats it. She loves cooking eggs! She is not big on sandwiches (makes packing lunches for school difficult). I don't understand, as she is not a picky eater and eats everything I make for dinner. She loves to boil eggs and make egg salad sandwiches with pickles etc. She will eat it for breakfast or lunch. Her personality comes out in her cooking/eating as much as anything else! I Love it!

Amber loves playing with her hair! She fixed her hair and then took these pictures herself too. I'm just happy that she likes her hair!

The latest fun thing to do is play with rope and trees. They like to climb trees, they weave the rope in the trees and swing from the rope and sometimes just tie each other up.

Ryan being goofy with his friend. He likes to wear this black bag so you can't see his face, but he can see through it.
