The Boultinghouse Reunion

The Boultinghouse Reunion (family on the mother's side) takes place every year near Marble Falls Texas. This year was extra special because Valerie and the kids went with us and I was able to introduce them to the rest of the family. The best part was that they actually really enjoyed it and are looking forward to next year's big event on May 15th. Dallin made a great friend in his cousin James. Good News! James just lives in Hutto Texas only about 10 minutes from here.

Michael Makes it in the Woodwind Ensemble

The woodwind ensemble is the highest band that you can be in here in Texas. Michael landed himself the fifth place in the trumpet section in this band. Here, you have to try out for band each and every year. It is never guaranteed that you will be in a higher band the next year. In fact, many times...based on your tryout...you could actually be in a lower band than you performed in the year before. Hats off to you Michael for this AWESOME accomplishment. Way to Go!

Michael had the first chair in Symphonic Band this past year. He's movin' on up! What a great new adventure for his senior year.
