Welcome to the Family

We have a new family member! And she's adorable! At least we think so. Meet Maya, our new addition. Cele is super excited to finally have a dog of her own and we are looking forward to getting to know and bonding with our newest family member. Of course we get to have all the fun of house training and all the other little goodies that come with a puppy but its all good.

Here We Go Again

Well here we go again. Time to start the concert hoopla. Cele's (and usually mine as well) first 'performance' is again the USU Homecoming Parade on Saturday, September 24. Parade starts at 10 am. It runs from 100 S. to 800 N. down main street. So bring the kids and come have a blast! Holler at us and we'll even wave to you. I might even give you something special *wink* We are usually on the west side of the street.

Then for her second performance of the year, the choir will be performing at the Family Fair inside the Cache County Building. (Just south of 200 N Main) This will take place on Monday, October 3 at 5:30 pm. As I understand it, this performance also includes a carnival with fun things like a magician, ice cream, and other fun booths.

So come join us and help us start off our year with a bang!
