Sounds of Conejo Thousand Oaks Exhibition

 We had our first exhibition last weekend and the band did a great job sharing their field how with 10 other bands.  Derrik and I helped with pit crew.  Competitions are coming!

Cameron cameo in video

Cameron made it into the youth group weekly video last week.  He and the other technical director happened to walk in the video room to ask a question while they were recording the video so they put both guys in it! 

One year of braces!

A notification of a memory popped up on my phone today - Ashton's been in braces for one year!  We had to do a side-by-side photo to see the difference.  Looking good!

Homecoming Pep Rally and Football Game

Our first band event was homecoming!  The boys participated in the school-wide rally and played a bit at the homecoming football game.  They won't officially wear their uniforms until the game in two weeks.  Here comes band season!

Classroom Updates

I've moved classrooms (again) and decided to do some updates to make the space better.  I asked Derrik and Dad Hubbard to help me create a ukulele wall so I can mount them on the wall instead of using floor space to store them.  Derrik managed most of the sanding and painting, while Dad Hubbard helped us get them secured onto the wall. 

Another update is keyboard covers!  I bought some on ebay and had my sewing neighbor, Ami, help me get them to fit correctly.  She also added Cricut numbers on them!  They will be so nice compared to the blankets I used for years.  

My final project is to get the table skirt Mom made to secure to the tables!  I hope to finish that off this week!  So fun to decorate!

Labor Day Mall trip

We spent labor day by taking a trip to the mall!  Cameron had some birthday money to spend and we walked around and looked.  It was fun!

Who wants a picture of Cameron?

Here are the proofs from Cameron's senior pictures.  Please email me or text me the one(s) you like best and I'll get you a copy.  I've already made my collage, have several 5x7's - now let me know what you want!

Cameron Birthday Party

Cameron invited some of his friends to the park for a great night of soccer, pizza and cupcakes!  It was so much fun!

Cameron's 18th Birthday!

He's 18!  Where did the time ago?  He had a great birthday with presents!

Ethan and Grandpa Duet

Ethan and Grandpa had a jam session!  Grandpa on his euphonium and Ethan on bass.  It sounds pretty good!
