The Mock Trial

Hey everyone, We wanted to drop a quick note and let you know we are doing great. We are watching Nicole's Cousin's 3 youngest kids this week so we will fill you in on what happened this week, next week.

The three big news items are:

1. We completed a birthing class. They showed a video from BYU and it was a real eyeopener.
2. Nicole was a fantastic witness for Clayton's mock trial competition. He competed twice this last week.
3. Clayton made the mock trial skills board.

Hope you are all doing well.

(more details to follow next week)

Nesting

In the past two weeks:

Nicole went to Kentucky. She had a great time visiting with family and attending Amanda's opera. She also got to go see Brittany play basketball and Regan sing at the all-state choir competition. She also got to spend time with her grandparents

Clayton stayed home and worked on a paper for his class. After several late nights and early mornings, he turned it in with 20 min to spare.

Clayton is also busy preparing for the mock trial competition. Nicole volunteered to be one of the witnesses. He will be competing twice next week. He still has a lot of work to do before he is ready.

Clayton is also applying for internships for this summer. All he needs to find is something legal. So if you hear of any openings let us know.

Nicole has started nesting. She is organizing and planning for the baby. We got the baby's corner set up.

Clayton also started ridding home on the slug line. He gets home earlier but still has to spend time at home studying.

Clayton is also trying to learn to play a song on the guitar and Nicole is doing a lot better at sight reading music in her calling.

We taught the boy scouts the cinematography merit badge. It was fun to interact with the youth in our ward.




We hope you are all doing well.

Art & Other Projects

This week, Nicole went on gallery stroll in D.C. She got to talk to a lot of interesting artists in the area. She felt like people were more talkative than other gallery strolls she has been on, possible due to the open bar. She talked to a ceramic artist. The artist was very interested in the pieces Nicole is working on right now. Nicole also had an interesting talk with a Buddhist lady about the after life. A musician also gave Nicole a CD of his work. You can check his music out at http://www.myspace.com/rhapsodyb

Clayton got roped into a project for the J. Reuben Clark Society. He spent most of Friday taking pictures. You can see the promo video he made at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65Hn7drZfHc

The baby is doing well. He is kicking and wiggling away. Only two more months to go. We set up the crib and planned how we want to decorate the baby space. Its just a space in our room because the other room in our apartment does not have a window and we worry about safety.

Nicole also organized her studio and is preparing for some art projects. Nicole is leaving Clayton to fend for himself for the week, while she goes to Kentucky to see Amanda's opera.


Please and Blessings.
