Storytime on YGG

This is an oldie but goodie. These pictures were from Rock's recording of a storytime on YGG back in August. Uncle Scott first coached him in his office. Piper took instruction too.

Then Scott directed him in the sound booth. We couldn't hear them but could see both their facial expressions which were pretty amazing.

In the sound booth, Rock was doing the wiggle dance and strumming his package. I knew he had to go to the bathroom but when Scott would ask, he'd lie and say no- since he didn't want to stop recording.

Listening to the playback (and the craft services table) were the funnest parts. We'll keep you tuned for his voice debut!

24 Loads

+

= One happy girl.

So, my washing machine broke. We ordered our new one but it took longer than we thought to be delivered...for a month our laundry mounded up in our room. It was actually quite liberating to throw your dirty clothes on it and not think about a hamper or sorting. Some things I learned however were: 1.) we have too many clothes, 2.) beach towels are not as comfortable to dry with after showers, 3.) the Pioneers had it rough washing by hand since we had a taste once or twice of it, 4.) 24 loads of laundry takes a LONG time to finish!!

Piper's First Day of Preschool

Her Teacher: Mrs. Beattie

Her favorite part of preschool- Cassidy!

First Day of Kindergarten

This is Rock's first day of Kindergarten. He was pretty pumped to be going. We have "all day" K- which took some getting used to. It was an emotional day for Myles and I to send that little one off to "the real world".

Getting to know his teacher: Mrs. Silvertrust. He is telling her here that his name is not "Myles" but he goes by "Rock". Oh man, what did we do to him.

Goodbye Mom! You can leave now. (I loitered for awhile)

And this is what goes on at home when Rock's away!-

Baby #3

Yes! it is true- we are expecting baby #3. Couldn't be happier. Due date is April 22nd!
