all the going ons

Busy weekend here at the Lytle home! We started off with the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  Avery loves scouts and looks forward to it each week.  Dad and him went to a friends house and created a great car.  Avery ended up getting first place in his den! He was very happy.
Thanks to Bro Maynard for helping with the winning car!


Friday night Jake had the chance to go to Prom.  Around these parts the school proms do not provide the best environment.  Due to that, 8 years ago our Stake decided to start having a "Mormon Prom".  What's  different about this Prom is that there is a strict dress code enforced and wholesome activities provided.  Each year they encourage the boys to ask a date in a fun way.  This year it was down at the Science Center at USC. It was fun to see the kids in the Stake all dressed up and to watch Jake stress about going on a "real" date.

the ward friends
fun to have a cousin to double with


Lastly, we got to go see Aubrey in her Spring dance concert at the high school.  Instead of taking a P.E class she signed up for dance.  It has been a really fun experience for her.  She has been working so hard and was very excited to participate in the Spring concert.  It was amazing and she did such a good job.  They had 4 shows, each about 2 1/2 hrs long.  After opening night she texted me that she had just finished her dance and that it was the "best night of her life".  I am so glad that she has found something she really loves!  Keep up the hard work Aubs!  She is going to sleep good tonight!

we had a mormon prom here too a couple months ago. My oldest turns 16 in August, so she didn't go, but I did drive a group including a couple of my YW. I was so impressed with the effort to dress modestly...the girls at the dance looked so beautiful and confident, and the dance was so much fun. Loved your pics!

Eric loved Avery's car. Jake looks adorable (don't tell him I said that)! :) And I would love to see Aubs dance. We miss you all!
