Guitar Heroes and Rock Stars

We pray for our boys' future success everyday, and hope they always have high aspirations and set huge goals for themselves. We express our expectations to them all the time, and try to motivate them along their life's journeys, wherever that may lead. With all that being said, Jonathan and Aaron may have found their calling recently as rock stars.

Jonathan was introduced to Guitar Hero on the Wii a few weekends ago, and was hooked from the start. He stayed up late, refusing to put it down until he "rocked" the song "Slow Ride." He finally succeeded and is ready for us to buy him the game so he can rock it out on the other songs. In the picture, you can see him playing lead; and Aaron is helping out with his own guitar.

Aaron, with the help of long-distance friends, Priscilla and Cameron Grace, put on a rock concert for all of us. He was the lead singer and Priscilla played the guitar. We must also give credit to Priscilla for designing the costume and writing the song that Aaron wasn't quite able to read and perform. However, the concert was a complete success. We recorded it, but it's taking a while to figure out how to get it just right to upload. So these are just a sampling of how rockin' it was.

The boys make us proud everyday with all they accomplish, and we know there's much more for them to attain. Whether or not they are guitar heroes or rock stars, we hope they know we will always be beside them (or in the crowd) cheering them on!
