Last weekend we had our annual trip to Mesquite with our very favorite people, Mike and Cath. Mike is also a football coach and it has been our tradition to take off once football season ends. The boys sit around the sports book all day watching games and the girls catch as many movies as possible, throwing in a little shopping here and there.
This year the four of us saw "Four Christmases" together and Cath and I spent most of our time laughing at our guys. They cracked up through the whole movie.
Then the two of us hit "Australia" (second time for Cath) and "Twilight" (second time for me). We both THOROUGHLY enjoyed ourselves. I just wish we lived closer so days like these weren't so few and far between!

Last night #2 had his first official piano recital. He was super nervous about it, even though he's already played in front of the entire ward! He said this was much harder because people could actually see him at the recital, whereas during church he was pretty well hidden by the piano.
Here he is, front right, with the rest of Mrs. Peterson's students. He's her youngest and newest.
They each had to say their name and the numbers they'd be playing - this is what he was the most nervous about! He had both of his songs memorized and did fantastic!
We were tickled to have Grandpa and Grandma Shelton come down (through a blizzard) and Josh, Kristen and little Leah. Thanks for supporting him!

That is awesome that #2 plays the piano. I really want my kids to learn. And both eric and I want to learn when we get a home that will fit a piano. Fun Stuff!
Good for him! I always got so nervous for my recitals as well. It was always so good to get them over with.
Jarrett is such a cute kid! Way to go on the piano recital AND for announcing it! That's great. Bri tries to teach our boys but it doesn't always work out like it should. I've got to come up with option #2 on that one.
I love the story about Braxton too!!
Ahh, piano recitals...don't you miss those days. Ok, not really. Glad to hear that he did well and is still enjoying it. Sounds like you had fun too in Mesquite. Now it's marathon training time!!:)
Did you make the boys see Twilight, too, or let them off the hook?
How did you like Australia? Ben and I were, Of course, there the first day it came out. We liked it, but Ben could not stand it when he would say "crikey". Apparently Australians don't say that unless they're an Australian Hick. My favorite part was when he had that bucket of water and no shirt. :)
We were so proud of him! His composure in the middle of a stressful situation was incredible. If he continues with lessons, he's going to be really good! Do you remember your first recital? : )
