Colorado Trip Day 3 - Last Day

We spent our last morning with Trent, Joy and family with a yummy brunch.  The boys played some ping-pong and each shared a bit of what they love - Ethan shared his audio recordings of Grandpa Hubbard's album, Cameron shared the drone video from the night before's wedding reception, and Ashton played the drums.  We had a great time just chatting and hanging out.

From there, we said our goodbyes and went to meet Elizabeth and Ken!  So fun to see them and their cute house! 

Stephanie's package arrived!

 Then off to the airport!  We were on the same flight home as the parents!  Ethan caught a cool video of our landing into LA.

Colorado Trip Day 2 - Wedding Day

We woke up and had a quick breakfast at Denny's and then headed to the house to help Joy set up a lunch for the groomsmen and bridesmaids at the venue.  After that, we headed to the hotel to rest and then get ready for the wedding.  The ceremony was quick and beautiful and we then took some family photos.  The reception was so fun - great BBQ and dancing!

Colorado Trip Day 1

 

We spent Tuesday night at a hotel in LA and got up early Wednesday to head to the airport.  Masks were worn the entire flight and the center seat stayed open to space people apart.  Since we were family, we squished together!  Only water was served and a bag of snacks.  Ethan and Cameron did homework on the plane.  Two hours later, we were in Colorado!  We picked up our rental car and headed to the Hubbards house.  After lunch, Cameron, Ashton and I helped Sage create a "Just Married" sign for Stone and Reilly's car after the wedding.

After checking into our hotel and resting, we got fancied up and headed over to Joy's parents house to attend the rehearsal dinner in their backyard.  It was a fun day!

New Job Details

 

My position at the district this fall is still a bit of a mystery.  I will eventually be planning the online music program for students but until then, I sit and wait.  I have my own cubicle and desk to sit.  I hope the details get ironed out soon so I can do what I'm good at.  

Grandma Bonnie's Birthday Song

 

When it was time to call Grandma Bonnie for her birthday, I grabbed Ethan and Cameron and asked them to help me sing "Happy Birthday!"  Ashton didn't get to participate because he was still in class online.  After he was done for the day, I told him what we'd done.  He was bummed he missed it!  So, we recorded a second sing-along so Ashton could join in.  Cameron shows up at the end.  

Music Teaching Videos and Jingle

 

I'm back making videos for students.  Which schools the videos are actually for is a bit of a mystery still, but I'm glad to have both Cameron and Ethan on my production team!  Ethan helped me write a music jingle for my video intro and of course, Cameron helped with video footage.  I'll post a sample after I get some feedback from the district.  Stay tuned!

Rearranging hearts

 

Since we're currently redoing the master bathroom, Derrik agreed to take down the hearts I made for him over a year ago.  ❤ I bought him a frame that perfectly holds them all so he can post them by his desk.  

Ashton's Braces Update

 

Wire removed to take scan teeth for
retainers!

Ashton had an orthodontist appointment this week to take pictures for a retainer!  The next appointment will be removing braces!  Whoo hoo!  The Hubbards are almost completely finished with braces!  Hallelujah!

Grandpa Hubbard's Music Video

 

Grandpa Hubbard asked Cameron to do some filming to create a video of one of his songs.  It was fun to watch both in action!
