Marquie and Boys

These little guys were playing all around us while we took beautiful pictures of Marquie, now posted on my photography blog.  Jaime was playing happily with them as well, but she looks and sounds like a dying pterodactyl when you make her do anything she doesn't want to do, like be in a picture.

Love you guys!

Recital

In case you didn't know, Friday night I had a concert in which I actually did some singing. Susan Sharp, the theatre professor, and I did a faculty recital of Broadway tunes. We had a dynamite time, and the recording is here:

You can hear my voice on tracks 1 (duet,) 3, 5, 6 (duet,) 8, 11, and 13 (duet—didn't turn out great!) My favourites are 8 and 11.

On all the other tracks you can hear me playing the piano. So, yeah, I'm everywhere! It was fun to be on stage, and I had great support from my colleagues and students. I hope you enjoy!

Friday

So I told you I wanted to show you a picture of what I had spent the last part of my Friday doing.... well.... here you go. don't mind under the bed. the top of the bed is what you are focused on.
yes. I am well aware I have too many clothes. On the plus side, though, the top left stack of clothes (that's taller than almost all the rest) are in bags to get rid of! =D GO ME!

Festival of COLORS!

This was just a fantastic time. And yes, it was a date.

photo...

HEY GUYS!

So i was looking through old posts a few weeks ago and came across a photo friday... weird huh? Well it used to be this really cool thing where every Friday everyone would post a picture either of something that was happening, a past event that brought back memories, or anything they desired really. I thought it was AWESOME!! So LAST week, I thought HEY! I'm going to do that. But I forgot.... and then I remembered again.... today. So I don't care if it's Saturday I'm posting anyways. I have an excellent picture to put up that explains my Friday afternoon/evening/night, but sadly I can't take it from my camera to my computer. I'll have to work on that this weekend. So in the meantime, here's another one I like.

Church Video Contest

Last fall, the Church held a video contest for the youth. My seminary class made a video that has now made it in the top 10 of the contest. We would appreciate your vote. (I was out of town when they made it, so they have a "substitute" teacher). It's called Old Spice Seminary something or other and is only a little over a minute long. Please go to this link and "vote" for them--and you can vote for the other 10 and view them if you want to.

I think you'll enjoy this one!
