Ally's One and Only Band Concert

Ally had a wonderful Beginning Band Concert tonight. Unfortunately, neither Nate or I were there. Nate was gone for the weekend to Wood Badge and today Janet had her Thyroid Cancer surgery down at Huntsman Hospital. She had asked me to stay with LaVere during the surgery and then stay the night with her to help take care of her. So, what did we do for our little Clarinet player? Grandma Hale to the rescue! She came and stayed the night with the kids and attended the concert for us. She graciously also took pictures.  

So proud of you baby girl! Sorry we missed it.

Mills Musical Moments

Back on November 12th, aka: Ryland's birthday and Baptism, our kids had a Piano Recital.
Ethan and Ally moved to a different Piano teacher at the beginning of the year. Brother Barker, as we call him, is AWESOME! The kids have learned so much from him and grown by leaps and bounds in their ability.

Ryland started taking piano in June when school got out. He is doing so well! I have been very impressed. His recital songs were:
It was impressive that he was even able to sit down and play at all, he was so excited that he was 8 that day and getting baptized only a few short hours after the Recital.

Ally has been taking piano now for about 3 1/2 years. Her Recital pieces were: She did a great job!

Ethan has been taking piano now for almost five years. He especially has a love for playing the piano. His Recital pieces were:

About two weeks ago Ethan had his first Advanced Band Concert for this school year. He plays the trumpet and they all did an exceptionally good job. So fun to hear them all improve over the year!
