Select Choir

Chris loves to be in the spot light and he loves to sing.  Because of these traits select choir has been for him.  This is a choir of 25-50 children that have to try out for a spot and they practice before school once a week.  They have concerts, perform around town, enter festivals and at the end of the year put on a play.  It really is amazing how much they learn in such a short time.  This year Chris was Anansi the spider in their play.

Bicycle Helmet

Alexis so wanted a bicycle helmet so I finally got her one.  Now she won't take it off.  "Safety first," she says.  Even when making pizza.

Sun and Bugs

The weather has finally turned warm enough to play outside in swimsuits and of course catch bugs.

Short Skirt/Long Jacket

We love music in our house.  There is one song Doug plays often by Cake titled "Short Skirt/Long Jacket."  Lexie dressed for the part.

"I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket...."

Peter turns 4

My little baby is 4.  Time just needs to stop!

Piano Recital

It's coming to the end of the school year and that means piano recital time.  This year I had 3 boys in it and a bonus musical that included my husband.  The boys have come very far in their playing abilities.  Ben now plays for the men at church.  He has sure grown.

Pinewood Derby

Evan finally had a pinewood derby.  Chris finally got his Weeblo.  We finally had a blue and gold banquet sort of.  Evan was excited to race his car and it was one he did alone.

What a happy boy.
