They Say It's Your Birthday!

Emery High had a swim meet in Richfield today.  Jim and I decided to take Banner out of school for the afternoon so we could cheer Tennyson on.  The swim meet seemed to go on forever but finally it was over and we took Tennyson out for her 18th birthday dinner at Steve's Steakhouse.  We then drove home and this was waiting for us. 

 A delicious Red Carpet Cake with 18 candles.

 Banner had trouble lighting the candles because she has never been allowed to do it before. 

 Tennyson, while we were singing "Happy Birthday to You".

 They're all out with one breath.  All that swimming has given her super lung power.

This is the inside of the cake.  It was soooo good.

Happy Birthday Tennyson.

A Concert and a Birthday!

We were privileged to attend the San Rafael Jr. High choir concert last night. The choir that Banner is in is made up of 8th and 9th graders.  I think they sing very well for how young they are.  Banner is directly behind the conductor in a burgundy colored dress. Every once in a while you can see her.  Sorry about the bad camera job. I was trying to get a close-up of her but it didn't work.

We then came home and celebrated Jim's birthday.  As usual he had a German Chocolate cake with coconut pecan frosting.  I had a hard time finding the german chocolate for the cake this year,  Food Ranch had none and I bought the last package at Stewart's. He only had to blow out 3 candles this year.  I don't know why I chose 3, I just did.

Let's Swim!

It's swimming season again at Emery High School.   Their first region meet was against Delta.  They won!  Good job Emery.  Here is Tennyson swimming the 100 meter breaststroke.
