Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started

It is hard to believe that the end of June is here.  I am realizing more and more that we aren't very good at taking time off and recreating.  Our "recreation" revolves around work... or so it seems. Lilli and I spent time together working at the high school.  She wanted to learn the sound… Continue reading Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started

Finally… a Boring Week

Gosh.  I wish I had pictures to show you our week... alas, I don't.  But we were busy. This was the first real week of summer.  I taught a bunch of voice lesson.  Lilli slept until noon nearly every day.  (Lucky girl).  Lilli and I did some spring cleaning.  We cleaned the front bathroom, the… Continue reading Finally… a Boring Week

I Believe

A few weeks ago I was helping a student pick a song for an audition for an upcoming musical at school.  As I glanced through the many musical theatre anthologies, my eye fell on the song "I Believe" from The Book of Mormon, the Musical.   So many of my friends love this musical.  To be… Continue reading I Believe

Trucking into Summer

Well... School is now over and we are racing into summer.  Lillian got to go on a little road trip with Chad.  He was in Oregon for a visit and drove to Idaho Falls for a wedding and back.  Lilli went to help keep him awake.  Other than being left at the mall during the… Continue reading Trucking into Summer

Busy week!

Once again it is dance recital time.  Sadly, without glasses I could not really see my beautiful dancer do what she loves.  My sound booth is just too far away.  Her sister took these pictures of her solo and some kind person took a picture of her in her ballet costume.  I do love to… Continue reading Busy week!

Blinded by the Week

It has been an odd week.  On Sunday I fell coming home from church and hit my face hard on the street.  I was a bit loopy and dizzy for a few days.  I ended up bruising my cheek, loosening my teeth, and destroying my glasses.  It was a long week without glasses.  I can… Continue reading Blinded by the Week

Forget Kindergarten…. I learned it from Mom

Forget Kindergarten... I never went.  Everything I learned about being a mom I learned from my mom.  As a kid, I did my best to listen to her, watch her, and sometimes challenge her. As I started my own motherhood adventure I looked to what I learned from her about what real mothering was... what… Continue reading Forget Kindergarten…. I learned it from Mom

Another in the Books

Lilli was sick for most of the week.  Thus, very little happened for her that didn't include her bed.  She tried school on Wednesday.  However, she went home at lunch time because she was still not doing well.  You can tell from the picture I snapped, just before lunch, that she was not "feelin' it"… Continue reading Another in the Books
