Dean's List

I was just thinking this past week I have been back to school for 6 months now.  It is hard to believe it is going by fast, but I feel not fast enough.  I am pleased to say I made the Dean's List this past semester at Stevens-Henager College.  I was pretty excited to see that.  I have been working very hard and has been quite a juggling act with working full-time, being a mom, step-mom, and wife, helping with kids homework, and piano practices, etc. Life is definitely busy at this time.  Yet I feel I am being very blessed to be able to do all of these things.  I know I wouldn't be able to do all of this without my Heavenly Father's help.  There are times I just want to give up or think I can't do all of this, but I am seeing I can.  There is definitely a lot of sacrifice taking place.  There is definite less sleep and I have to admit it is hard to not be training for running races.  This may sound crazy, but I miss the long runs running up the canyon.  I am trying to remember there is a time and place for everything. In the meantime, I am gaining more knowledge, and realizing I am able to do things I never thought I could. :)

Dress-up and Dance time

I had to share this little video of Kaitlyn.  She will turn the demo music on our digital piano and will dance around.  She put on some dress ups for the occasion. :)  Don't mind the toys all over the room.  Just makes our house look lived in. :)

Amanda's First Piano Recital

In January, Amanda was able to perform in her first piano recital.  We are so proud of her!  She has been taking since August of last year at Art City Music Academy.  She is in the Piano Pals group (4-5 year old children).  She has done so well practicing.  She usually gets up at 6 or 6:30 a.m. to practice everyday.  Here is a video clip of her two songs she performed.
