Mellow Cello Fellow

He's been playing since September 2008.  Not bad for 5 months.  He said he goofed a little in the middle, but I think he covered well and held his composure.  Thanks to Lucinda for accompanying him.  I don't remember having to perform in a recital. Ummm... Well, there was one time actually in 10th grade maybe.  I guess my experience was so awful I've tried to block it from my memory. He did a great job and shouldn't have to block it from his memory.

Today is Stake Conference.  We have the 2 pm session at the Provo Tabernacle.  I don't mind, I prefer the 10 am session, though.

LATER:

I was on "display" today.  It felt that way.  All of the Bishops, High Counselors, and Stake Leadership sat up front in the Provo Tabernacle -- Where the orchestra would be in a performance.  I got to the Tabernacle in enough time for Kanani to find me and have me come down to the stand with her.  I love my calling, but I feel weird being "put on the pedestal".  I wish I would've fixed my hair.  I should probably fix my attitude, too.  :) 

wacky too

Wacky cheered too. she is the one keeping time(due to her ballroom dance training) in the pink sweats. 

cheer Goo cheer

Goo (girl in jeans in middle) and Cam cheerleading.

she is in the second group her group starts at 00:40 if you want to skip to it. 

we are so happy and glad she did this she seems to have loved it.

sorry for the shaky video.

Yesterday was the culmination of a 4 day "cheer camp" that Googs & Wacky attended.  (Honestly, who would've thought MY daughters would be interested in such an event?  Go figure.) I hope to post a video of them soon.  There were 4 other little gals from our ward in the camp.  Shannon Sorensen is a Cheerleader at Timpview HS.  It was a fundraiser for their team.  She singlehandedly raised $180 for the team.  Way to go!  The gals had fun and along with good memories they ended up with new t-shirts.  There is a video clip posted today on the "Rowe Rowe Rowe your boat" blog (link on from my sidebar).  Cameron is awfully cute. Googs is to Cam's right and only really visible in the first part..like I said I hope to get pics up of our gals soon.  :)   

Yesterday I didn't go to work, Esther was sick.  No fun, but optimistically speaking, she made it to the Bathroom on time.  That made me happy.  Enough said.  She's better today.  We both got to go to school.  

One of my most favorite songs in the world I heard at a James Taylor concert in the summer of 1984.  My brother John and I went to the fabulous concert right before his mission.  It was so fun!  My children (Clarence presently does) wear my concert t-shirt now.

..it's so cool and "vintage" these nearly 25 years later.  Anyway back to the song:  "That Lonesome Road".  I found a nice youtube of the DixieChicks singing it.  The harmonies melt me.

Well, Obama is the President and life goes on.  Last week we went to St. George for Steven & Amelia Miles' Wedding and Reception.  We had so much fun!   We stayed at the Motel 6 #230Right close to the Red Cliffs Mall.  Pretty basic...but hey, "they left the light on for us"--and it was clean with decent bathrooms.  :) We had 2 adjoining rooms...rooms #108 and #135...yes they were adjoining...go figure.  We ate at "In 'n Out" on Thursday night.  yummy!  I wanted to have their fabulous onion rings, but they don't have them in St. George. bummer.

I need to blog more later.  The gals have Jumprope Club this morning.
