The sweetest baby boy ever is now 11... Noah still brings peace into our family with his amazing attitude about life and its opportunities. He is an incredible musician, a wonderful student, a fantastic snowboarder and athlete... (he'll try ANYTHING and LOVE IT!), and a good friend. We can't imagine life without his dazzling smile. Happy birthday, Noah!

february!
February has flown by... lots of fun things, as usual. Ellie was in the annual 2nd grade "Dragon Parade" at school... it was adorable how excited they all were. Ellie and Corey also attended the annual "Daddy Daughter Dance" together. She was SO excited and they had a fantastic time.
Noah and I went to the Tech museum together with the 5th grade. We had a great time there checking it all out! He also had a surprise band concert! (we found out about it the day before...) They sounded WAY better than I expected. Noah has amazed me with his trumpet playing ability... he went from sounding like a hurt animal on the trumpet to playing scales and songs in a matter of a few days. I'm not sure that's normal, and maybe it is, but to a non-trumpet player... it's impressive.

January...
January has already flown by. How can it be the last week of the month already? Noah started the year off with a bang.... He received his "Arrow of Light" award for cub scouting. This is a big accomplishment. It's on to Boy Scouting next month!! How did that happen??
Yesterday, I held my annual recital for my piano students. I am always so proud of them... it's very cool to see the progress. All four of my kids played... Aidan was SUPER excited to be included. He's had like 3 lessons, so it was extra adorable. He did very well, as did Noah, Ellie, and Austie.... as did everyone! Recitals are my favorite part of teaching, I do believe.

Merry Melody Moms
We are official. This is our third year singing (and playing the piano!) at Christmas time, but we now have a name and T-Shirts!! The "Merry Melody Moms" have been on tour this season... 4 "gigs" in all! :) My amazing friend Heidi has organized us all and we have had the privilege of performing for a few retirement homes, a Christmas party, and a Sacrament Meeting. It is such a fun thing to be a part of. Heidi, Tiffany, Emily, and Jenny are so inspiring and sound so good together!! (we've had some other singers as well that are missed!!)
Our children also participate in the fun by singing and dancing for the "grandmas and grandpas" and passing out little favors to them when they are done. The looks on all the faces, young and old, are priceless. It has turned into a very special tradition.
The video is our entire performance. The picture quality is not great, but you can hear us, which is the most important. :)

The Reason for the Season....

so thankful
We spent Thanksgiving at my sister's new house, which looked amazing! The kids could not WAIT to get there. We all had so much fun being together. Delicious food, wonderful company, and the opportunity to take a moment and ponder on the incredible blessings from heaven that we have. I am so thankful.

Looking for fall...
On Thursday, we headed out to find some fall leaves!! Fresno actually has some gorgeous trees right now, but they're surrounded by telephone poles, and those don't look good in pictures! So, we headed up to Bass Lake and went on a little hike in search of them. We did find some, and had a good time on our little adventure. I was just happy to spend the day together. Since school started, life has become blurry again, and there is never enough time to do everything and spend the time together that I would like. This was a nice day to just catch up and hang out. I think I'm in love with four day weekends!

Lots of dancing
This weekend has been fun. Friday night, Noah and I attended our 6th "Mother-Son Dance". This is a highly anticipated event. For whatever reason, Noah is always super excited about it, and this makes me so happy!!! A tradition we have is that I will copy WHATEVER moves he makes on one of the songs. Yes, I did slide across the floor as well as spin around on my bootie. We joined friends for dinner and even got dessert afterward. Spending that time with Noah is so fun... I don't do it enough. Next year will be the only year the boys overlap, and I can imagine it'll be quite the year when "crazy legs" joins us. :)
On Saturday, Austen participated with her pep squad in a competition. They were amazing. Their hard work paid off and they placed first! I was so nervous watching her. I could SO never do that! So glad she got her talent from someone! I love to watch her dance.
