Recitals

Back in January...

...A. starting taking piano lessons from L. Jones.  She recently performed "Fluffy the Puppy" for her first recital.  She had to memorize the entire two page piece for the performance.

A. did a fantastic job. We're so proud of her for all the practicing she did to prepare for her recital.

A. also started taking ballet lessons in January.  Unfortunately, we left for vacation the same weekend as the recital so A. wasn't able to perform in it.  However, I did take several pictures of the budding prima ballerina during the rehearsals.

p.s.  In case you were wondering, we took video of both the piano recital and the ballet routine and tried 4 times to post it but technology once again has it out for me, and it never worked.  Sorry.

Preschool Graduation

After two grueling years of study and hard work...

...P has finally graduated from preschool.

Conrats, P!  Now on to kindergarten.

EVMCO Concert

P recently joined The East Valley Millennial Choir and Orchestra...

...(or EVMCO for short) as a member of the Young Singers' Chorus.  Her first concert was held in April.  Grandma D, Grandpa G, Aunt A, and cousin S flew in from UT to attend.  Uncle M from CO also came.

(sorry, the picture didn't turn out that great.)

It happened to be Grandma D's 57th birthday that same weekend so Grandpa G and the Pinks surprised her with a cake.  Happy Birthday, Grandma!!

Easter 2013

It's all about the eggs.

Whether they're frosting them, dying them, or hunting them, the Pinks are "egg-static" to once again be participating in all their favorite Easter traditions.

 Here is a small sampling of the Pinks' springtime confectionary creations.

 Chef A. pauses to ponder her pastry's pastel palette.

 Quality Control Inspector Au. took regular samplings to ensure that the best and freshest cookies were always eaten by her.

Moving right along to dying, P. flashes a smile as bright as her batch of Easter eggs.

A. practices the multi-dip method.

 "Yeah, the egg dye might be all tidy in the cups right now......."

 Easter's finally arrived and no-bunny looks cuter than Pinks hunting for candy filled eggs!

 "Hey, I think she got more jelly beans than I did."
