Piano Recital

Miya and Cannon had their first piano recital a few weeks ago. They both have really loved taking piano lessons this year from Sister Hawkes. They practice everyday and memorized two songs each for the recital. I had already heard the song a million times before the recital, but it was fun to see them up in front of everyone playing and announcing their song. Miya's head was down the entire time (which I thought might happen) even though she had practiced many times at home and told me she would look up at everyone. Cannon was the first to play and was super brave with all the parents watching.

They had dress rehearsal the night before and were able to hear all the kids play and Cannon came home telling me all about a boy that played a pirate song that he loved. He got my attention when the boy played the song and was smiling the entire time the song was going. He is super excited to get that good. Motivation to practice!

Today

The weather is beautiful today. I got my first little (on my arms) sunburn of the season and it feels great. We are heading off to the park this evening to play volleyball. The kids got in the water today for a few minutes and then wrapped up in towels freezing. I LOVE SUMMER.

Cabin and Other Random Pictures

Phil just cleaned some pictures off his phone that covered everything from the past 5 months off activities. Had to put them on here so they would make it into the book once I print it off. Phil took the kids to the skate park while I made dinner Monday following Easter after we had been working all day on the cabin since it was Phil's day off.

Cannon loves riding his bike at the skate park. We took him to look at bikes the other day so eventually he will be on a bike that isn't too small. Although he didn't really like any bikes that he couldn't both sit on the seat and touch the floor with his feet.

We like to hit the park when no one else is around for my kids to get in their way.

We got the appliances moved in and it makes the kitchen seem WAY smaller, but it is fully functioning now and we are excited to be getting closer to the end.

We just need to finish the back splash and the tiles should be in this week. They are sea glass tiles and I think they would add just the right splash of color.

Just a reminder of work that has been done.

Bathroom almost complete. We are putting in the mirrors and the back splash this weekend.

About the middle of the process.

These pictures are old and from the trip to Disneyland.

Waiting in line.

On the boat for Phil's work party in California.

Miya, Sundi and Cora after Miya's baptism.

I love this pictures of Phil and Miya. It reminds me of the picture of me with my dad after my baptism and I am glad Miya has a dad that is as great as my dad is. We both got super blessed.

The primary had a practice activity for something so we went to dinner with some friends and Lyla and Eli sat at their own table to eat their chips. They were super cute.
