I found them!! Jeremy's Winter Concert!

Here is my handsome young man! Can you believe he wasn't embarrassed to take a photo with his mom!! :)

Jeremy is usually the silly guy who makes all kinds of silly poses in photo's. We wanted him to have a serious one of which really tried hard! Wow, he is SOOOOO grown up!
As a mother has the ability to locate her child, it was difficult to take a photo because he was hidden behind music stands and students. Here is a photo of the symphonic band at Jeremy's school. Their band directors are incredible!!

More events

I am not sure where this photo of Gabe was taken, possibly at Greg's work? Either way, Gabe was not very happy to have been in his car carrier. Note how HUGE he is in his carrier now!!

For some strange reason I cannot locate Jeremy's photo's from his concert. I will have to research more files so I can upload them also. After Jeremy's concert we took him to his choice of dinner and he chose CiCi's pizza. Brandy happen to have a swim meet this same night which is so difficult to each and every activity. At any rate, after Brandy's meet she was able to catch a ride to CiCi's as well. Wish she could have gone to Jeremy's concert though to say hi to her previous band teachers!
Here is the video clip of Jeremy's concert! Jeremy has been playing clarinet now since 6th grade. He is also taking private lessons once a week. Summer of 2009 he participated in band camp offered by his band directors of which he learned 3 songs in a week and did VERY well!! We are very proud of him for his accomplishments. We hope he will continue on in music. :) :)

Brandy's Winter Concert

As many of you know Brandy has been playing the French Horn since the 6th grade. When she entered into high school she signed up for Marching Band which placed her playing the mellophone. A mellophone is a brass instrument that is typically used in the place of the French horn due to how big it is and it's difficulty with marching.

These are photos of Brandy and her Band Director. The band director's in this district are phenomenal and we stand amazed at how well these kids are taught so quickly with such accuracy! We put Gabe in the photo because while meandering children's clothing websites, I came across a onesie that said "I'm with the Band". We couldn't resist. Gabe wasn't crazy about it, but Brandy was proud to show off her littlest brother!

Here is a small clip of the concert. Unfortunately we didn't think to charge the video camera prior to the event. So most of the video's we did record were on Greg's iPhone.

Yummy!

Usually on the weekends we are not too busy or too tired we will cook yummy foods! Everyone is a fan of french toast! We also make eggs, bacon and fried potatoes! I can never make enough!
