Let It Snow

It has snowed a ton this winter. December and January have been about the snowiest I can remember.

The kids have had a great time building snowmen...

Sledding...

Playing in the snow...

... And Ryan's favorite - Shoveling snow!

Christmas Piano Recital

Lauren and Mark had their Christmas Piano recital at Piano Gallery in Orem on December 17. (OK, it is a little late, but better late than never)

About 20 kids played songs for the recital. Lauren played about in the middle of the recital. She played "Up on the Housetop." She did great and is really starting to get smooth at playing. Notice the shy smile at the end. I love it.

Mark played last and brought down the house with his rendition of Jon Schmidt's arrangement of I Saw Three Ships. (Sorry about the shakey cam on this one.)

I am having some problems embedding the video. If you can't see it on the site, you can follow the link by clicking on "Mark I Saw Three Ships" link below the video. You can see the video on that site.

This is our house. Look at the blazing fall colors on the trees.

Halloween 2007

Mark was Mozart for Halloween. He had the wig, cravat, jacket and piano of course. The following picture is a portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Lauren came up with the idea for her costume and made it herself. She was a Rubiks Cube of course. The following picture is of a real Rubiks Cube.

Ryan was Super Why for Halloween. (I'm impressed with those who knew what he was.) Super Why is an animated super hero that helps kids learn to read on a PBS kid's show. In the picture below, Super Why is second from the right. Ryan loves to watch the show and has wanted to be Super Why for halloween for as long as he knew he could dress up as someone.

Joseph went as Syndrome from The Incredibles (see image below.) He certainly has the hair for it. We have a picture right after he was born (see second image below). A neighbor said that he looked like Syndrome. I guess he was destined to be Syndrome for Halloween.
