This is one Busy Boy!

A 5:30 a.m. wake up call for early morning seminary is early for anyone indeed!  However, this is just the beginning of a very long day for Bracken----such is the life of this high school boy.

So bring on the challenging AP/IB courses at school (with class syllabus' that might have even scared his mother) readings and homework, add in after school JV Basketball practices and games, the Senior Patrol Leader of over 45 boy scouts, an Eagle Scout project, involvement in the Habitat Humanity Club with preparations for Indonesia in April, and top it off with a weekly activity that not only adds a bit of fun to Bracken's schedule, but some fun entertainment and laughs for our whole family as well.......the Shanghai American School Activities Committee.....staring co-anchor  Bracken Wilde!  Every week, Bracken and Inaki Ortiz (from Mexico) along with several others from the SAS activities committee, make a fun, and informative video for the entire high school to view the upcoming activities at school----a perfect and fun way to help all other extremely busy high schoolers' plan and schedule their busy week.

Yes, this is one BUSY (but happy boy) and neither Bracken nor his parents would want it any other way!!













Who knows......maybe already being familiar with not only a busy schedule,  an early wake up routine, and amazingly professional broadcasting skills shown here,  Bracken just might be the next Matt Lauer.......check it out (:   Go Bracken!!

That's great that Bracken can be involved in so many good things! There are just too many kids that age are bored and have no direction. You and John are doing a wonderful job raising those boys!!

Okay, so how have I not seen all these update. My blogroll is slow or something. I loved catching up with you guys. Hawaii looks incredible and the pictures up at the top are so great! Bracken is one awesome kid. Glad life is still full and amazing on your side of the world.

I finally got to watch Bracken's video he made at school. That is so fun that he is part of it. What a great public speaking experience that is! He (along with the rest of your family) is having so many fun experiences while living there in China. Way to go, Bracken!
