Hutchinson Happenings 2012

Hutchinson Happenings 2012 has been condensed

to The Top Ten

in no particular order

1. We had an amazing Christmas with everyone at home. Lots of time together and a family portrait (the reason for our delayed greeting).

2. Caleb received his Eagle rank in Scouting.

3. After saving for months, Jecia paid cash for her first car, a red Nissan Xterra. Very sporty and fun off-road.

4. Jake completed his third semester of law school and ran his first half marathon.

5. Eliza discovered she loves the Oregon coast and crabbing when she and Jake traveled there for their 2nd anniversary.

6. Ethan and Caleb marched with their band in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington D.C.

7. Ethan (and the rest of the band) swept every Nevada competition and took 3rd in Bands of America Finals this fall. Think 8 minutes of intense aerobic exercise, carrying a 40 pound instrument, while playing complex music, keeping perfect posture at all times. It was an amazing program!

8. Marshall & Colleen hosted another tour of the Holy Land in June with a wonderful group of people.

9. We started a backyard makeover by adding a brick fire pit that has become our favorite gathering spot.

10. Jecia took Caleb skydiving for his 18th birthday and they both survived. She is the coolest sister ever!
