Spring Piano Concert. . .

For this year's spring piano concert, Breanna and Braden were asked to play a duet. They played it beautifully. Mom and Dad were incredibly proud.

Both kids played two songs. Here is Breanna taking her turn.

Braden plays his pieces.

Breanna gives Braden a dirty look in the middle of the duet!!! I can't believe they pulled this off. I can't believe they didn't kill each other first. Let me just tell you, practices were hell. LOL

Braden and Breanna with their teacher, Dianne Walker. We love her and want to thank her for good work and patience teaching the kids! They especially want to thank her for all the hours of practice she requires!!

Breanna's Dixie Children's Choir. . .

Even though these are horrible pictures, not one of them in focus, we wanted to share Breanna's Choir concert. This is a local children's choir that requires an audition and an invitation to join. Breanna has such a beautiful voice that she was asked on the spot to become a member!! She is on the back row in the middle, in case you can't tell because of the blurred shot.

Brinley and mommy enjoy the show!

I'm sick these didn't turn out better. The concert was held at the St. George Tabernacle and it was such a beautiful setting. The choir sounded wonderful and they preformed some very difficult songs. The girls looked so professional and lovely in their costumes. Way to go Breanna!

Next year, Breanna has been asked to join a smaller group of girls who sing additional songs as well as sing with the choir.

Easter Sunday . . .

Happy Easter wishes to all our friends and family!

Brinley calls this her "princess dress".

My beautiful children on Easter Sunday. Did I mention that Bryson hates to have his picture taken!

Easter Hike and egg rolling. . .

Our family tradition for Easter Sat. is to take our dyed Easter eggs and find a hill to roll them down. We do this to crack them open and make the peeling of them easier (and dirtier!). Anyway, I'm not sure how this tradition got started but I did it as a little girl and am determined that my kids have the same fun. So every year we go out searching for the perfect egg rolling hill. This is what we found this year.

A wet and rainy Easter Egg Hunt. . .

Brinley loves to have her picture taken.

Back at home going through their candy and treasures.

Every year, our neighbors, The Jolleys, have a hugh egg hunt in their back yard. It has become a tradtion to go. This year is was raining and wet, but even that did not stop the fun.

These eggs were not hidden very well, were they?

A little cold and shaking but they filled their baskets none the less! Thanks Jolleys!

Easter 2009. The dying of the eggs. . .

Brinley is very proud of her work.

A very serious artist.

Looking beautiful while at work.

Bryson is not pleased with the final product.

The whole group including our friend, Bailey.

Bryson and Braden do Little Leauge

Have you ever seen two more hansome boys in your life? They both played Little Leauge baseball this year. Bryson played for the Cardnails and Braden the Red Sox. We are so proud of both of them.

Braden played pitcher, shortstop, catcher and first base this year. He did well in all postions.

Bryson could really hit the ball and told all that asked that he "hit it farther than Braden did when he was this age". He looks up to his big brother and this really made him proud!
