Piano Recital for the Family

Here are the videos again Mom, I don't know where in cyberspace the blog posts went to, but I can't find them anywhere!

I have been teaching the kids a song a week in their piano books.  I can't believe how well they are doing, and I thought you'd like to hear a little performance.

Business at the Blaines


My indoor garden this year.  Nate built this grow light for me, and it's working really well!
Ben and Deven are soccer super stars this spring!  Both boys scored two goals in their games on Saturday.

The wildflowers in California were gorgeous!

Our kayak adventure on Clearlake

We drove over to Fort Bragg and enjoyed a walk on the beach.

If you can't read that sign up there it says "LumberJacks, where the big boys eat."  I thought it was funny!

All ready to hunt for eggs at Grandma's and Granddad's house.

What are you finding Aiden?

Deven counting his eggs.

A fun game of Phase 10 with the kids, Grandma being one of them.

Watching over the flock.

Our six new friends.  Now we have to build the coop!

The kids playing "Just Dance Kids" on the Wii. I played with them, and it was fun. Although it would be just as entertaining to watch the dancers.

I am trying to upload videos of the kids playing their piano songs, but am not having luck.  I'll try one more time, but I might have to email them to you Mom!
