HONOR

"A student who exemplifies the virtue of Honor is one of integrity and faithfulness, and one who embodies a sense of truth and virtue."

On Monday, Mitch went to the state capitol with his principal and counselor to receive "The Glory of Missouri Award". He was awarded for the virtue of "Honor". There are 14 virtues carved into the pillars of the floor of the House of Representatives, and a child from Mitch's school was chosen for each of the virtues. Our State Representative then presented each student with their certificate. It was a great day, and we are proud of you, Mitch!

Student of the Month!

Abby was student of the month for January, and we are proud of her! This was a goal of hers, and she accomplished it (by January!). She has worked hard in her studies, and at being a responsible student and friend, and she deserved it.

Way to go Abs!

Vegas Valentines

Here are some photos from our road trip to Vegas. Shooting, movies, cards and The Strip made it a perfect valentines day vacation! Love you all!

January

Hello Family!

Here are the only two pictures I have from this month (besides kung fu panda). The first is from this weekend at the BYU v UTAH basketball game. Yeah, we won. And we got front row tickets from my job. Yeah, I have the hook-up.

The next photo is from the Snowboarding Grand Prix in Park City. Shaun White was there. He rocked it. It was a lot of fun, and I'd like to think of it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The others in the photo are from my ward, and they're all cool.

I'm happy and I hope you all are, too. Love you more!

LA Dance Magic 2010

Abby and I spent the weekend downtown attending a dance convention. It is two solid days of dance. Abby loved it, and we had a great time. She did awesome and it renewed her love and enthusiasm for dance.

Kung Fu BYU?

This is the only picture I have as of recent, but I wanted to add my two cents to the family blog. This Kung Fu Panda giant statue is in a building on BYU campus. Can you guess which one? No, you can't. It's the MATH building. Yeah. Who knew those mathematicians watched cartoons, let alone even liked them? Not me. I'm a little envious. The communications building where I live doesn't have anything this cool.

Sorry I'm so immature for a 21-year-old. I figure I better take in all I can before I head out into the working world in April. I love and miss you all!!

Ringing in 2010
