This and That in April 2024, Part 1!

April 1st--April Fool's Day!

Someone in our family made these delicious looking graham cracker treats.

Two have white frosting and one has mayo.  

The victim of the prank grabbed and bit into the mayo one.  Yuck!!

(Perpetrator will not be revealed but first name begins and ends with "D.")

Meanwhile the Melanchuk family had the day off and went on a hike

 to see wildflowers and a waterfall!

Also that same day we were getting our 20 new windows installed!

On April 2nd Hannah and Kathryn sang with their University Chorale

 at the BYU Devotional!

They are both on the outside right.

Later that evening Hannah and Kathryn sang in their

 University Chorale concert: O Be Joyful.

We watched it on a live stream.  It was joyful for sure!

They were both on the front row with one person in between them.

Penny sang a solo at a performance competition and she was rated a "1" 

which is the highest you can receive.  Congratulations!

Meanwhile her parents were picking up Sam from his mission.

They were able to spend a couple of day visiting places in the mission (Smithfield Temple),

former companions, friends and even got in a hike.

And the Saturday morning General Conference session!

Daniel got 2 medals at a big track meet.  

3rd in the 200 and 2nd in the 4 X 400 relay.  He also got 7th in the 100.

The three brothers got together in Clinton.

I asked Josh to send me a picture of the "three amigos."

Here is the first one that I got:

Here is the 2nd one that I got:

Here is the 3rd on that I got:

And finally the one I was expecting but LOVED them all!

Sam finished his mission strong!

He even got to meet Elder Gong...

...and sing in the choir at the meeting he was at.  Sam is just left of center.

Happy and sad:

"Me with the family I had my last lesson with. 

From left to right, Aiden, Stephanie, me, and David."

Elizabeth got transferred to Hiram, Georgia.

She is always teaching lots of friends.

Nathaniel performed in his class play about the Planets and Stars.

Here he is speaking and signing his part:

The big finish song with the whole group:

We've had fun the past two Thursdays playing Catch Phrase with the 

Perrys that have come by after the temple!
