Kierstin's Solo Festival Videos

So after half an hour of searching and lots of frustration I finally had to change some settings so that I could upload the videos. Anyway, here they are. I hope you enjoy them. (You might need to turn up the sound on the vocal video.)

Our crazy Saturday...

So I don't know how many of you read Anthony's facebook posts but last week he posted that "my wife has left me...for a few days. Just men in the house doing manly things." So when I returned from my 4 day Mommy vacation things were a little crazy. Men don't do laundry, men only do the dishes they need to eat, and men don't clean up after themselves. At least not my men....so after I recovered from all the manly activities, I discovered that Anthony had TRIPLE BOOKED our Saturday. So here's how our day went...


The first activity of the morning was Kierstin's performances at Solo Festival. (Dad signed the papers for this while I was out of town. He thought it was during the week.) Solo Festival was held at SWOCC (Southwestern Oregon Community College). Why Anthony thought the middle school would be using the college campus during the week eludes me. Anyway, she performed a Vocal Solo and a Drum Solo. (The videos are in a seperate post.) She did amazing. The vocal judge thinks that she needs vocal lessons and the Percussion judge was impressed that she had only been taking band since November.

While I was with Kierstin, Anthony was taking Noah to register for Little League. He got Noah all signed up and left him with the SWOCC baseball team for a mini clinic. He had a blast! He can't wait to assigned a team and start practicing.  A picture of his throwing drill is below. Enjoy!

The final event of our crazy morning was haircuts for both Anthony and Jonah while Noah was still at the Little League clinic. Thanks goodness for Auntie Becca who took Jonah to the barber shop so that he could get his haircut. Aren't you glad you didn't have my Saturday? After a crazy morning, Kierstin and I went to the laundry mat with Auntie Becca to help fold laundry. We had a good time watching people, laughing, and yes; even folding laundry. 

My son just told me that I am neither a boy or a girl. He says I'm a only a mom. Ok,fine. But I'm still wondering if I'm not a girl or a boy then what am I?

Blogging on the go...

Mobile Test Message. So I just configured my Droid to update my blog. I hope this works. Here a recent picture of the kids. Enjoy!

New Year, New Look

Can you believe that it is 2010?  Where did the last half of 2009 go... If your life is a "busy" as mine I am sure that you understand.  I blinked and December had come and gone.  Lots of exciting days, family visits, Christmas, and more.  I will share those later. 

We had our family pictures taken a few days ago and since it was a new year I decided that the blog needed a new look and a new picture.  I hope that you enjoy it!  This is just one of the proofs from our photo shoot.  I will post more after I get them.

Wishing you a healthy, happy and harmonious year!
