End of Year Recitals

The hills are alive with the Sound of Music, especially here in Flagstaff where today we retired the piano and trumpet for the summer. Sarah has just finshed her first year of trumpet and her fifth year of piano. Sarah has become very musically talented and we are so proud of her. Sophie has just started taking piano lessons this past January and has picked up on it so well. Today was their piano recital and they had to have their pieces memorized so I was really nervous for them, but they got up, played and didn't skip a note. Sarah also had her end of the year band concert and what do you get when you have at least 85 kids on stage trying to play together on stage. LOUD! Yeah, that's right - poor Sydney and Sean had to plug their ears. (Enjoy the pictures of them demonstrating how LOUD it was) They were ready to go after the first piece. Luckily, they played the Star Wars theme for their last song so it kept his attention. I just have a give a woo hoo to my girls and let them know I am so proud of their accomplishments

Oh, and one last side note, after the recital Fred took Sean to get his First REAL haircut. Yes, he has had trims before, but now Fred thinks he looks like a boy. Poor Fred, on the way to the Father and Sons outing they stopped off at a convenient store to get a soda and Sean was taking his time when a man looked at Fred and said, "Just like a typical woman always taking their time to decide" This only motivated him more to get his hair cut, it looks good, but my baby is so grown up now. Ok so my camera has a video feature that I finally figured out how to use! Check it out!
