Party Time!

Yup, our little Jonathan is a year older! We celebrated his 17th birthday yesterday with cake; Elliott got all dressed up for the ocassion; Josh did join in with the dinner and sang to Jonathan, really he did! Jack and... Steph joined us. (Notice Steph's cute new hair cut?) Joni even made it! She was actually healthy enough to hold Elliott for the first time. I noticed that they have the same big eyes. Jonathan was recently called to be our choir pianist. He had a first practice last week and this week was our first performance for him as pianist for ward conference. We sang "Oh How Lovely Was the Morning" in a very difficult arrangement to play (the same one that is in the First Vision film). He did a great job! He's also the Priesthood pianist and was called to the ward rep for Stake Youth Conference! He's trying out for Madrigals next week and plans to take AP Art next year. He is really a talented kid. He's been driving for over a year without a ticket or accident!! He's a good kid and we are blessed to have him in our family! Thanks for partying with us everyone!

  2. What a great young man. I know that arrangement of "Oh How Lovely" - it's very difficult. He's on target to be a great missionary.

  3. So much fun!!! What's wrong with Joni? She looks like she's lost weight and all that not so fun stuff that comes with being sick! I hope she's ok.

  4. Funny you should ask Ambyr. I've asked her the same question every time I see her and she says she hasn't lost any weight. She has decided that she has celiac (sp?) disease besides being allergic to milk products, so she's pretty limited in what she can eat.
