In Memorium: Tigger 1989 - June 17, 2010

Our dear old friend Tigger passed away June 17, 2010 at the ripe old age of approximately 21. She lived a good, long life. She had been passed from Heidi to Kati to Michelle. We acquired her during the brief time Kati and Andy lived in Washington (about 1990). She will be missed. May she find joy in kitty heaven.

Easter 2010

Easter was pretty low key this year. We attended church, came home and opened Easter baskets, and had a chicken BBQ salad for dinner.

Brady's 18th Birthday - DOB Mar. 31, 1992

Brady the BB Star

The Ward young men's team (really an expanded building seminary team) played in the regional church basketball tournament Saturday March 27th. Don was the priesthood rep. to the team. The ward team easily won its first game in the one and done tournament, although Brady didn't shoot particularly well. He was well warmed up for the semi-final game however, as he made 8 of 10 three point attempts, and scored 30 points, nearly half of the total score. Their team then won the championship game over the Parkland team. Although Brady didn't attempt any threes (he was well guarded), he was able to score several buckets on drives in the lane. Brady led all scorers in the tournament.

Don's Birthday Party

Michelle hosted a birthday party for Don on February 13th to celebrate birthday LX. About 30 people stopped by to wish him well and eat a few goodies.

Don Attends World Archery Festival

February 19-20 Don traveled to Las Vegas to visit Chris and McCall. While there he attended the World Archery Festival and Vegas world tournament. He went to the trade show and attended seminars featuring some of the best archers in the world. He had a fun visit with Chris's family. They went to a BBQ place on Friday night, and to a pet circus and juggling show Saturday that Jack and Cash could also enjoy. Then they went out to dinner and to the store to buy the kids a toy. Don fixed a roast for Sunday. Chris dropped Don off at the airport early Monday morning. It was a good trip.
