These are the days of our lives...

Life has been hectic as usual and doesn't show signs of slowing down any time soon. Yesterday Alli, Mom, and I went to the temple in Snowflake. It was really nice to get out of the world for a few hours. Alli says she is starting to remember things from the sessions now so thats good, now we just need to get back more often. After we got out of the temple we went on up to Show Low for the Walmart since Holbrook doesn't have the best selection of stores. :) After, my Mom treated us to dinner at a nice little Mexican Restaurant in Snowflake. By the time we got home the ASU game was already over which probably wasn't a bad thing since they lost.
School is going really well for me, my High School groups have both performed twice already. Once at the state fair and at our Fall Concert. This week Voce (the audition choir) is going to the George Gardner Show Choir Festival so I am excited about that. I get to direct the Old Irish Blessing with all the groups up there so that should be a lot of fun. That was the song that my Dad used to end all of his concerts as a teacher. The day after the Show Choir Festival I am taking my Jr. High kids to Round Valley for Jr. High regionals, I am excited for that because the Choir clinician is Mrs. Turley who was my mentor teacher. We've already started preparing for the Christmas concert and hopefully we'll be ready for that by the 13th of December, can you believe Christmas is coming that fast? I can't. We are also already trying to get ready for our Musical Review next semester so if anybody knows any really good songs from Musicals that we should do let me know. :)
Being the 1st Counselor in the Young Men's has been fun we are still trying to get things figured out but the last couple weeks we have been making a movie (survivor scouts) and that has been pretty fun. Anyway all together things are great I can't complain a bit. Alli has been incredibly supportive for all I have had to put her through this semester. She is amazing working full time going to school full time and helping me with all my extra music concerts and trips I don't know how she does it without losing her mind. One of these days were actually going to have time with each other, well unless she gets her wish... She wants a baby... A woman who knows I guess :) The days of our life are good :)

We found it!

This is my Grandpa Carbonneau's grave that we finally found. It's kind of weird that it has my Dad's name on it.

Super Saturday!

This week was again, hectic as usually! I (it's alli haha) got to teach a kindergarten class this week and it was so much fun! I did have to remind a little boy a few times that I was the teacher, but I'm going back this week also so I think we'll do better :). Kyle is getting ready for his upcoming fall concert, so he had me come to the school and watch a dress rehearsal and tell the kids what i thought they needed to work on, and they are going to do an excellent job, I'm really proud of him :).
Yesterday, Kyle's school had a football game that his band had to play at.. so he was at the school until about 9:30 yesterday.. they made it into the state finals and it was their first game, they beat them 80-12.. they killed! So day we thought we would take it easy and relax! Between work and school we don't really have that much time to hang out with each other and go play, so I decided today we were going to play instead of watch football all day :)
We started off our morning with some Denny's (yes- Holbrook has a Denny's.. no panda express.. but Denny's haha) and we started driving around Holbrook. My Grandpa Carbonneau is buried in the Cemetery here so we went to go find it.. we walked around for about 45 with no luck.. we started walking into the Veterans section and i told Kyle that he wouldn't be in there so we turned around and left... I called my dad later to see where it was and he said "its in the Veterans section" ;) Maybe I should have followed Kyle's lead afterall.
I didn't really want to go home, and there aren't any stores around here... so I decided we would go house shopping today! Not really shopping to buy, but to look. We found a really cute house in Holbrook that I really like.. it's clean, wood floors, tiny but enough for us and we called on it and it's only 109,000... you can't even find that in the valley anymore! haha. too bad we're not ready to buy one yet.
Next Kyle decided we would go look at the petroglyphs (the Indian scratches on rocks), and we had brought our puppy Zeus with us so we figured it would be good for him to run around. The indian scrathes were on these HUGE rocks so we had to go climb a bunch of huge bolders and such, but it was really fun! Zeus ran and ran with us and climbed the rocks really well- I was proud :) He's been laying down chillin' all day- which is totally unlike him, so we think he got a good workout.

That was our super saturday in Holbrook :). Not much, but enough :)

This is what we didn't see during conference, when everyone was laughing, and we were like? What just happened?


"After President Hinckley finished with the sustaining of the officers of the church during the Saturday morning session, Elder Eyring had moved to his new seat on the stand. Unfortunately, they didn't show this on TV, but when President Hinckley turned around, he stood there for a moment looking at Elder Eyring, then picked up his cane and "knighted" him on his shoulder and head.

Getting ready for the football game.

Well it's Friday night and and football season still so Alli and I just got back from Mr. G's Pizza!! I know your jealous and you should be we had the best Pizza and Wings in Northern AZ. Now we are at the high school waiting for the band to show up so we can head over to the football field. This is technically the last game of the season but it's looking like we will make the playoffs so we will have at least one more home game after this week.
Well we are both looking forward to this weekend, I don't have school on Monday and it's General Conference so we are going to head down to Buckeye tomorrow and spend the weekend there. I am super excited for Conference and I am calling it right now President Bowen! Not really :) Well I better get going I have to go find some wireless mikes because I have a double quartet singing the National Anthem at the game tonight and they actually sound really good so I would like them to be heard.
