400 MEN...

Or YOUNG men, I should say.

Kyle had the phenomenal experience of

performing with boys grades 5-12

from the Klein school district in a choir concert

last night.

It was AWESOME!!

THE MEN

It was hard to get a close up of my boy with all of the kids up there.

He's the one that's less brown (as maddie would say :)

I'm afraid the constipated look while singing is genetically

passed down from his mother.

Sorry, dude.

It was a truly AWESOME concert!!

We are SO proud of you!

Did you EVER....

...think you would see

THIS PRICE

at a gas pump ever again?

18 Gallons for under $30.

I'm giddy!

extremely relieved
