Music Day


Going to town on the xylophone.


We love music.


This was the look!!!


Today, Paintbrush Elementary had Music Day and asked the parents to come join in our first grader's music class. It was a lot of fun and very interactive. We played instruments and sang along with the kids. I know Avery loved having me there, but she is getting to the age where she is almost a little embarrassed if she thinks I am calling attention to myself at all. When I started snapping a few pics she gave me a look, which I thought was funny, but I put my camera away. On the way home, she said that it was "awkward" (that is her new word) when I was snapping shots. I can not believe my sweet baby is getting so big.

It seems like we have been couped up for so long now. We have only been here for a few months, but many have said that this is the worst winter Wyoming has seen in a while. Last week we experienced our first blizzard and needless to say, it was something to see. Bryan was stranded in a motel about 40 miles away for a couple of days, while the girls and I were stuck here. Avery didn't have school for 3 days last week and I even had to get my daddy to come get us to take us grocery shopping. The day after the big storm, the girls begged their dad and I to take them down to the hot tub. I was not about to get my bathing suit on in 30 degree weather, but they have their daddy wrapped around their finger. Here are some pics that I took, which I think are priceless. It was so pretty that night and they loved playing in the snow while being in the warm water.
