Piano Recital, 2011

On March 20th, Mary and Brynn had their 2011 Piano Recital. It was a huge success. Mary performed "Dance of the Irish" and Brynn (it was her first recital) performed Halloween and Ode to Joy. Both of them did perfect! A big thank you do such a wondeful Piano teacher, Leah Rassmusen.

Brynn's Poem

In February, Brynn had to perform a poem for her class. She choose "Bad Hair Day" listed below. It was so cute. She performed it loud and clear and with a lot of emotion. It was darling, and I was so proud of her!

Brynn's Poem -- "Bad Hair Day" by Linda Knaus

I looked in the mirror with shock and with dread

to discover to antlers had grown from my head.

The kids in my class were complaining all day,

"We can't see the board with your horns in the way!"

The Teacher was cross, he asked, "What's your excuse?"

I said, "Well, I think I have used too much mousse."

Kelsey and Trevor Get Married!

February 19th, 2011 my darling cousin Kelsey was married to Trevor Slade. It was a great day, and we are so happy for this wonderful couple. Kelsey and Trevor are some of my kid's favorite people, they are a fun extenstion to our family, and we appreciate all they do to help us out. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple, and even though it was a very rainy day, it was wondeful!

The girls were SOOOO excited to be flower girls. A big thank you to Kelsey for including them in her big day.

And because of the festivities we got to have Grandma and Papa as well as Corey, Jess, Colin and Mason come stay with us, which is always fun!
