 This is the "Katie cousins"

They are 6 months apart and we both named them Katie.

It wasn't that fun at the beginning of their lives, 

but as they grew they became such great friends and loved each other so much.

They went to EFY together and BYU-I also. They both married wonderful men and Katie Hillebrant just had her first baby, William Kenneth Hillebrant!

 Russell, Aaron, Isaac and Preston

 The water was COLD for us AZ people. The family from IDAHO thought it was great!

 JUMPING FOR JOY

Washington DC tour with EVMCO choir

 Annie and I flew to Washington DC with the Batts & the Curtis' for the EVMCO choir performance in our Nations Capital. We were not there for very long - 4 days. But we were able to see a few things and enjoy the life of DC. We rode the metro a ton getting the girls to and from recordings and practices. We went to the holocaust museum and the National Art Museum and the Smithsonian.

 The Holocaust museum had a revert hallowed feeling about it! It was very humbling but also interesting how it all happened. I came away with a love for freedom and liberty!

 This saying hit home. I think we justify a lot because we are not one thing or another.

 Outside in the beautiful sunshine!

 Walking to the Strathmore concert hall! Look how green and beautiful it all is.

 Waiting for the concert to begin...

 Incredible performance by all the conductors, Jenny Oaks Baker, the choir, and the orchestra. It is a blessing and honor to be apart of this beautiful program!!!!
