Live your best life-Each day is a gift! Thursday, February 19, 2009. Taylor has accomplished a lot in the past few weeks. He had an opportunity to play in Salt Lake at Abravanel Hall in the All-State band. This was quite an amazing experience. We were all quite impressed-even Grandpa! And that says a lot! Taylor also finished the requirements for his Eagle Scout award! Thanks Taylor for being who you are-we are very grateful for the character that you have.
