disappoitment

Sky got word today that he did not get one of the 4 percussion positions available in the band.  It is so sad because he has been practicing on the drum kit but that is not really the same as what they do in band. 

I wish we could find an older used clarinet to buy for Sky instead of renting the current one every month.  We may have a line on a sax if he decided to move to that instrument...fingers crossed!

OOPS forgot to post B's Bday!

My baby turned double digits!

We had a party at the bowling alley again this year and we all had a blast, except Shane who went home sick...
If you look on the table by the ice cream scoop you will see the cool bowling pin pens that I found online to use as decorations and everyone got to take one home.  I even gave one to the bowling alley owner because he thought they were so cool.

Brady got his bowling pin and everyone signed it, now I just need to find a way to drill a whole in it and make it into a lamp.  He has 2 and I thought they would make cool lamps for him to keep instead of just big paper weights.

Sky the Christmas Star


A few weeks ago Sky joined the Christmas Ensemble which is made up of band members from the middle school and the high school.  they have been getting together a couple afternoons a week to practice Christmas songs.  Yesterday the group welcomed Santa to town for the HO HO Hoquiam Celebration.
 
 After a few songs Santa arrived...
 
And we all moved inside for more music then a magic show...

ok not a great video but sky has the blue checkered shirt in the middle.
