Week days :(

This week Tanner still had a soar throat and stayed home today. His friends came over last thursday when he was feeling better and they soon got sick too. WOOPS. Christopher had a concert at his high school he played in the choir and the orchestra with the Cello. Tanner was to busy coughing so had to sit out. Halloween is coming around the corner and no one is reallly excited we all just want candy. So Tim and J went hunting today. hope they stay safe and well to be honest i really dont want them killing anything. We heared huge BANGS!!! and our whole house shook today. We were all kinda freaked until we found out that it was down in orting behind a soldier home back in a huge dirt trench. That is how our weekend unfortanetly went :(

1st Concert of the Season, and more to come.

I had my first concert of the 08-09 season. Everything went smoothly, and the concert was good. I was in three out of the five performing groups at GKHS first concert, Orchestra as Cello, and the GKHS Chorale, and Chamber Choirs. Our director of the Orchestra and Choirs at GKHS wasn't present due to her health issues, so Mr. Pat Michels, retired director from RHS came to direct our group. It was great, and he is awesome to work with.

No excitment

Tanner is sick with a soar throat today and he skipped school yesterday, There is a lot of drama going on in this house. On top of that Tim's frineds Nazar and Heath came over. Nazar is sorta part of the family but Heath not so much. It is hard to talk to Tanner because he is starting to lose his voice from yelling at Nazar, Heath and Tim. Since Tanner has not got much sleep either have we. gaahahahaahhakkkk is all we hear all night from Tanner getting his flem out of his throat. He said this morning:"Last night i had a golfball sized piece of flem in my mouth i could have chewed on that baby for hours". From that point on we all feel sick. Like i said
NO excitment
