Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Open House

My parents and I had the opportunity to attend the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Open House. There were many different types of war planes. It was so cool! Helicopters and airplanes have always been cool and interesting to me.

It was a ton of fun being able to go and spend the day with my parents. I have always enjoyed spending my time with them. Not many teenagers say that about their parents. I am a different teenager that is for sure.

We were able to walk around on the "tarmack" to look at the different types of planes and helicopters, while listening to music. They had a rock wall and a bouncy house along with Radio Disney. On the inside of the building there were different tables to look at.

It was a lot of fun!

Here are a few pictures (We forgot a camera, so I got them from the website.):

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is run by this guy:

John Barry. He is awesome. My mom and I were able to get to know him through the Mesa Chamber. Yeah for connections!

But seriously, he is a nice person and runs his operations smoothly.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great day!

Happy Halloween!

Ok, so I don't know what happened to my pictures in the last post, but here they are.

Happy Halloween!

Ok, so I know I am a little behind, but here is my experience with Halloween.

I was able to spend Halloween with the Ayalas, the Dillards, and Nancie. We went on the usual two mile route and hit the houses with the best candy. That's right… we went by the houses that give out king sized candy bars!

It was a ton of fun and I am so glad that I was able to spend time with these great, awesome people!

Here are some cool pics…

Our First Concert

On November 4th, the Chandler-Gilbert Community Band had our first band concert. We played several different selections from the composer Giovannini and John Philip Sousa. We also played selections fron the Sound of Music and a short piece from Thoroughly Modern Millie. It was a great concert and the audience was awesome.

My parents are able to be in the band with so it is a family affair. It is so much fun. I get to sit next to my Mom and we get to be there together. That is probably the most time we see each other in day, well kind of.

It was great that my Grandma and Grandpa got to come and enjoy this concert with us.

Thanks so much for coming!

In this picture are my parents, and I, and the Chandler-Gilbert band director Randy Wright. The cool thing about Randy Wright, well one thing, is that he was the band director at my elementary school, Hawthorne. Unfortunately, he left the year that I was able to start band, 5th grade. So I get to have him as a director now. Pretty cool huh?!?!
