Whitney's Spring Band Concert

Whitney had her spring band concert last night. She started out the school year playing the tenor saxophone, but decided to switch to the oboe. She has only been playing the oboe since January and her teacher asked her to play a solo in the concert yesterday. She played "The Candy Man". She was really nervous before the concert, but she did a great job. Compared to some of the other duets and solos she sounded like a pro. Todd wasn't able to go so Katelyn filled in as cameraperson. She did a pretty good job. She got most of Whitney's solo and at least you can see part of Whitney's face in the video.

Easter Festivities

Not much exciting has been going on here. That's why it has been so long since our last post. Just the same old stuff, we live in the frozen tundra, we can't wait for spring, all the kids are growing like weeds, etc.

We had a lot of fun celebrating Easter this past weekend. Our Easter traditions include an egg hunt, dying eggs, and decorating cookies. This year the Easter Bunny hid the kids baskets instead of eggs and left clues for them to find them. The hunt was interrupted shortly by a little spider (who found one of the clues before they did) and 3 screaming scared little girls. After the spider was "taken care of" they had no problem finding their baskets.

All the kids got new outfits to wear to church on Easter as well. Gone are the days of having everyone match though. Whitney and Katelyn said they would rather not get new dresses than get ones that match Lauren and Dustin. Lauren and Dustin still match however because they wear what I tell them to wear.

Wheels on the Bus

Here is Dustin doing the actions for the wheels on the bus. It is one of his favorite songs.

Here are a couple more cute pictures of Dustin.
