The story of Echo is how we

get the echo in canyons.

COLE IN THE CHOIR

On Thursday, March 16, we attended

Cole's junior high choir concert.

(Mount Nebo Junior High in Payson)

I had no idea he was in the choir!

He says he really likes it!!!

The concert was FABULOUS!

It's all about the teacher!

Very impressive!

Cole is in the Concert Choir

Of course, standing behind the tallest boy!

Grandma Dixie was sooooo proud!

THE ACCOLADES KEEP COMING . . . HALL OF FAME

MORE FACEBOOK FUNNIES

I like to take some of the quizzes

that they have on Facebook.

They're pretty funny.

But, several have been

more closer to the truth than not!

WHAT WILL PEOPLE REMEMBER YOU FOR?
(AFTER YOU HAVE PASSED AWAY)

 Which two Disney princesses are you combined?

This was a face analysis.  It zoomed in on

Courtney (she's in my photo) instead of me.

SAMMY

WEDDING SEASON FOR FORMER STUDENTS

IS STARTING UP AGAIN.

SAMANTHA (SAMMY) RAVEN WAS

SUCH A GREAT STUDENT!

SHE WAS SOOOO SWEET AND KIND!

SHE GRADUATED IN 2015, AND MET

HER NEW HUSBAND, TRUMAN,

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.

THIS IS SAMMY WITH HER NEW INLAWS.

THE GROOM'S DAD IS MISSING.

HE IS A MISSION PRESIDENT FOR THE

OREGON PORTLAND MISSION.

THE PRESIDENT CANNOT LEAVE, BUT HIS WIFE CAN.

 SO, THIS IS THE MAN THAT MARRIED THE COUPLE!

YUP.  WHEN I SAW THE GROOM'S LAST NAME,

IT IS THE SAME NAME AS AN LDS APOSTLE!

INSTEAD OF ASKING HIS MOTHER IF THEY ARE

RELATED TO ELDER BALLARD, I ASKED IF THEY

WERE RELATED TO TOMMY BALLARD.

HE IS ELDER BALLARD'S GRANDSON AND I 
TAUGHT HIM IN 5TH GRADE!  

I THEN KNEW, AND ALSO TOLD HIS MOTHER I

TAUGHT SAMMY IN 5TH GRADE!

HOW WOULD IT BE TO BE SEALED BY AN

APOSTLE OF THE LORD, AND ALSO THAT

HE IS THE GROOM'S GRANDPA?

BREANN'S SHOWER

BreAnn Wayman was on my

5th grade team for 2 years.

She is so positive, kind, and thoughtful!

I really enjoyed working with her!

After 2 years in 5th grade, she taught

1 year in 1st, and then 2 years of the

English part of Chinese Immersion
in 1st grade.

She is in her 3rd year of teaching

4th grade at Blackridge Elementary, which

is on the main road to Cedar Fort and

Eagle Mountain.

Cami is her principal.

We also went to dinner and movies

every now and then.

BreAnn is getting married on March 30.

We went to a shower for her on

Saturday, March 11.

Condita and Kiliya picked me

up in their new vehicle!!!

WOOT!  WOOT!  BONUS!

Me, Condita, Kiliya, AnnaLea, and BreAnn.

This is Lori Banks Richardson Huey.

She is BreAnn's aunt.

Her and BreAnn's mom are sisters!

She taught her first several years

on my mom's 1st grade team!!!

She started the year before me.

She also got married, then her husband died,

then she was remarried.

Her and her soon to be hubby will

be attending a Jazz game next

fall as their wedding present!

TEN VIRGINS

The Stake Relief Society 
needs to have at least one
activity per year for the
sisters in the stake.

On Sunday, February 26, the 

Stake Relief Society presented

"The Ten Virgins."

It was done as a musical

about the parable in the Bible.
(We were able to pay for
it through Deseret Book)

Each sister was PERFECT for her part!

This is the invitation and poster
I had made up.
Phil Chadwick took the words,
and attached this picture to it...and
sent it to the printer.
The poster hung in every Relief Society and
Young Women's room.

It was also sent out as an invitation
to every Relief Society President
three times . . . every other week.
They could forward it to all of
their sisters.
It was also in every ward bulletin
and announced in Relief Society
every week for 6 weeks.

Here is the program I made.

Beware . . . there are a TON

of pictures!

I put them all on here in case

any of the sisters involved

would like a copy.
