Stockton's Eagle Court of Honor

We are so proud of Stockton and his accomplishment of earning his Eagle.  He made emergency backpacks for our  Elementary School.  His Court of Honor was amazing.  He was able to share this night with two other YM from our ward.  Austin Baker and Ayden Olsen.  Their parents were a delight to plan this night with.

 The American Legend came and presented each boy with a flag that flew over that Nation Capital.

 Dad was able to come and tell Stockton what the flag means to him.  It was really an emotional experience for Stockton and Dad.  Later Stockton told us he felt Grandpa Welch there. 

 Our backyard neighbor is Stockton's Teacher Advisor and he spotlighted Stock and presented him with his Eagle.

 Stockton chose his dad as his Mentor.  This was a very special moment for both of them.

                                                                     Tender Mercy!

                                                               I am so proud of him!

Holly and Grandma.  Tami and Rob came and our friends The Sawyer's.  Thanks for all the support!

Catching Up

Spring has been busy for our family.  Stockton has had many band and orchestra concerts which have been incredible.  The Symphonic Band was awarded the Sudler Cup which is the highest award for Bands.  It has been a wonderful year listening to this band. We will be sad to not see the Wolf's for a couple of years.

I finished working at the school, and hope enough funds will be available for next year so I can have a job.  It has been so rewarding working at the school.  I love watching these kids improve each day on their reading.   The girls continue having rehersals for their Cinderella play.  Abby and I are still talking voice lessons and look forward to our recital in a few weeks.  We are singing "Some things are meant to be" from Little Women.  I love singing duets with her, she loves to sing harmony and is getting so good.  Mark is busy with work right now.  He is working the next 7 days straight 13 hour shifts.  All is well with us....Staying busy!

Cruise Jan. 2012

We went on a cruise to Cozamel and Belize with the Patterson family in January. We had such a good time being with our siblings and mom. We missed dad, as he stayed home with health issues. We went to the Lamani ruins in Belize. It was an amazing place to visit. So much history there. In cozamel we went snorkling. Cruising is such a fun way to travel. Can't wait to plan the next one!

Chicago

We were able to go as Chaperone's to Chicago with the Farmington Band. We were there for the Midwest Band Conference. Mr. and Mrs. Wolf won several awards while there. The kids started practicing last spring for this event. They were so good. Every mom there has tears in their eyes at the end of the concert. It was so fun to watch Stockton with all his friends. We sure realized he likes to flirt with every girl, and doesn't seem to mind we were there. He has really has a good group of friends. He stayed in a room with Clark and Sandy.

Christmas 2011

We hosted the Welch's Christmas party this year. We had to make shift houses due to the stomach flu going around. It worked out great and had a great time! Wendi and Bret came over for Christmas Eve dinner with the Madsen's.
