Piano Recial

I had my piano recital on June 18th this year. It was one of my best!! I was really excited, my students were all prepared and they all did an amazing job. It was truly a pay day for me and reminded me that I do enjoy teaching and I love my students! Abby did awesome..she worked very hard and was able to memorize a 7 page piece. The other piece that she performed was "Soft Shoe Rag" and that is what she is playing in the video. Lydia still needs to find the "LOVE" for the piano, which I hope will come soon. But she was able to learn two pieces and did great! The video is of her playing "Sugar Cookies"....Enjoy.

Summer FUN for ME !!!

I sure enjoy summer because it is time for the different races. This year it started in May with the Woman of Steel in American Fork. Then on June 6th I went up to Wellsville to ride in the Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride. Finally June 19th-20th was the RAGNAR. I had a blast at all of them.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD BIKE RIDE

This ride really isn't a race...just a nice bike ride. Rachel and I started from her house and rode down to the park in Wellsville. They had rest stops for us along the way with lunch and treats. The shirts are really cute!!! By the time we got back to Rachel's house we rode just about 70 miles! We couldn't have asked for better weather. I had a great time.

RAGNAR/WASATCH BACK

The Ragnar/Wasatch Back was quite the adventure. I decided in November that I would join Rachel's team and started to train. I really had a fun time and have started to really like running. This race consists of a 12 member relay team. You start in Logan and finish in Park City...188 miles. I ran three different legs totally about 12.4 miles. We started at 8:45 Friday morning and finished 33 hours and 50 minutes later! I really had a lot of fun. Thanks TEAM for a great time.

Friends Forever

Kyler and Bubba will be friends forever. Kyler loves his zebra "bubba" you can see him squished under his cheek. Aunt Amy gave Kyler bubba when he was born and it has been best friends ever since. I went in one night to check on Ky and this is what I found...how can a mom not take a picture!!!

Hot Wax and Skin....They don't go together!

Zeth wanted me to post his picture of his thumb. He has be bugging me for a while to get in on, but as you already know...I haven't had a lot of time to blog much, so here it is finally. About a month ago Zeth asked me if I would wax his eyebrows for him, something that we do about once a month...he is trying to avoid the "unibrow". So he put the wax in the microwave and let it melt. When it was done he went to get it out and didn't realize how hot it was and it slipped out of his hand and dumped all over his hand and down his shirt and shorts, on the counter, stove, cupboard and floor. I ran over to him and we got it under the water, while I was trying to get his clothes off so that they wouldn't stick to him he was peeling the wax off of his thumb..what a mess, he said that the skin just peeled right off his thumb like it was a piece of tape...no pain. I was sick! As bad as this picture looks, it was a couple of days into the healing process, and it only took about two weeks to fully heal. It was amazing. There was a lot of "what ifs" that day and Zeth was really blessed to have just his thumb burned.

Fun in the SUN

The kids were having a blast on the tramp...working on their backflips. So I went and got the camera and got some pretty fun shots.

SPLISH SPLASH...I was taking a Bath!

Once a year Choral Collection has a solo ensemble night where the kids can choose if they want to prepare a song and sing it. Katie, Lydia and Abby chose "Splish Splash" as their song. They worked hard to get it together (Thanks to Aunt Shauna who helped with the actions!!). It was fun to see them get up and perform. Great job girls!
