15 May 2022

Gibson made dinner last Sunday for Mother's Day. He prepared the baked pasta dish after church before leaving for his symphony performance. Dinner was delicious! 

Helen and Becky attended his concert, another great performance. This is a photo of the symphony taking their bows at the end.

Gibson played the part of the donkey in his seminary class reenactment of the story of Balaam and his talking donkey. From the left are Jason, Gibson, Gib, Ed, Layla and Grace.

Brandan and Becky attended the Crater Foundation Awards event on Tuesday, held in person for the first time in 2 years. The event allows the scholarship recipients to meet their donors. The Crater Foundation celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and marks 22 years of giving every graduating high school senior who applies a scholarship. That's the only requirement: the students have to apply. The scholarships can be used for trade schools and job training programs as well as college. The Foundation makes it super easy for donors and we are so thankful to be part of a community that supports kids in such a meaningful way.

Gibson is collecting bugs for his zoology class. He painted a box this week that he can use to mount his collection.

Our ward had an international/ family history night this Friday and invited everyone to bring their favorite international dishes. Brandan made a platter of pannukakku, one of his favorite treats from Finland. Our family also brought a plate of ribs and a bowl of potato salad, representing America. Some of our ancestors have been in America for a long, long time so American food seemed appropriate for a family history night.

Here are Jason, Gibson and Ed.

Clockwise from Helen are Mary, Annie, Scott, Marcus, Ben and Luke. It was a great ward activity.



Brandan and Gibson went mountain biking on Saturday morning.

They picked some moderate trails close to home.

Here's the view from the top of the trail.

Gibson liked this stretch through a tunnel of trees. They had a great time and are looking forward to going again.
