Although we are not exactly sure how they sounded individually, the group sounded great! At least it looks like they know what they are doing!

Orchestra Concert!
How would you like to teach this many 1st and 2nd graders how to play the violin?

For Grandma Pendleton
Liv: "Grandma, I love my dress you made!! Don't I look pretty?!"
Liv: "Hey wait, I think I can do something fun with this!"
Liv: "Yep, sure enough!"
Liv: "It makes a great peek-a-boo dress! Thanks Grandma!!"

For Grandma Katschke!
Karen has always told me that giving a child a chicken bone is the best teether they can have. Having an aversion to meat on bones myself, the thought always grossed me out and I never tried it. Joseph took charge this time and gave her a bone. Well, guess what Grandma?! You were right!
SHE LOVED IT!!
REALLY SHE COULDN'T GET ENOUGH!!
Even Taylor and Emma got in on the fun!
So, I will admit it worked and was a good teether as well as play toy, I just couldn't look at her while she did it. Even now the pictures make me a little queasy!

Marathon Blogging!
So sorry for my marathon blogging habits! I am really bad about getting my pics from my camera to my computer and then getting them in a post is another few weeks. Hence many times I end up with many posts at once. As my sister in law put it, "we love it when Amy posts because we know we are going to get a lot!" I am sure this is frustrating to have feast and famine, esp. for the Grandparents who need updates, but bare with me. I will try to catch us up over the next couple days!
Back to Running!
I have heard the phrase, "Well, I guess you may just have to give up running," from a lot of well meaning family and friends over the past 2 years as I have had some rough health, but I am happy to say my doctor has given me the go ahead and I am able to run again. Although not very fast, I love it and am hoping to do a fair amount of running this summer while the weather is nice! Here is a pic with two of my friends right before we ran the 5K at the Beaver Creek Slide.
Spring Soccer!
Spring Soccer is always unpredictable in Wyoming. We play in rain, snow, and sunshine. This year we had a number of 40 degree days so Olivia and I watched from the car. Madi didn't want to be left out of the fun this year and she did itty bitty soccer. Between the three it has been a crazy month and this mom is grateful that our last game is today!

Engagement Announced!
I have a lot of things I want to blog about and hope to update you on some of our comings and goings this week, but for the moment I am going to be self-indulgent!
My little sister announced her engagement on Saturday!! She is getting married in August and I am so happy for her! Eight years apart in age has left us going through nearly every life experience at vastly different times. However, I couldn't ask for a closer sister! When we are together we laugh because we frequently say the same thing at exactly the same time. She is one of my dearest friends and loves my children like they are her own, (although she really hates when people tell her how cute her kids are when she has them in a store! She definitely doesn't look old enough to have 4 kids, but neither do I, right? don't answer that!) So, to my wonderfully talented sister! CONGRATULATIONS! I am so very happy for you!!

Happy Mother's Day!
To all of you women who have impacted my life, you truly are the hero's I look up to and have learned so much from!
(Most Especially you Mom! You will always be my greatest hero!)
"Somebody's Hero"
She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her
But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress
She gave her wings to leave the nest
It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by
Looks back into her mother's eyes
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs
Of her mother, and she wishes she could be like that
Oh, but she already is
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair
She runs a brush through her silver hair
The envy of the nursing home
She drops by every afternoon
Feeds her mama with a spoon
And that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
(Most Especially you Mom! You will always be my greatest hero!)
