Piano Lessons

Joyanne stays true to practicing the piano and progressing weekly in her lessons.

We all love to listen to her play and she still continues to compose new pieces all the time.

The Life of a Busy Mom

I've put aside a lot of the things I love to do, like reading, family history, playing the piano, watching shows and crocheting, to get the house clean.

I woke up at 6am and worked on cleaning the house, helping kids or cooking until 8pm.

There are great rewards for staying focused and getting the job done.

Happy Birthday, Jaden!

Jaden turned 9 years old, and one of the first things he asked for was a later bedtime.

Now he goes to bed at 8:30pm instead of 8:15pm.

He anxiously looked for all his presents and was pleased with all he received.

Jaden wanted an ice cream cake, so that's what he got.

It was store bought and I decided next year, I'll make it myself.

So, besides a glass 8x8 dish exploding in the morning, he had a great day!

We are so happy to have this smart, amazing boy apart of our family.

Happy 15 Years to Us!

We have been married now for 15 years.

Daddy took me on a surprise date to one of my favorite places to eat, "Cafe Rio", and then to a play, "The Sound of Music".

Our good friends, the Richards, joined us.

The food was good and the play was amazing!

Being married to this man had been wonderful.

He makes life fun and fulfilling.

Hopefully we have many more years together. ❤

Happy Birthday, Noah!

Noah turned twelve years old on Friday.

He had to wait until after school to open his presents.

But, he sure like all the gifts he received.

He had a birthday party with 6 of his friends.

They played games at the church.

They came home and watched a movie.

Noah has a great day!

Today Noah was set apart and ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood as a Deacon by his dad.

Now Noah holds Heavenly Father's power through the priesthood.

He is excited to hold such a special power and can't wait to pass the sacrament.

Last Game of the Season

Joyanne had her last basketball game of the season.

They lost, but they had fun playing.

Joyanne was quite the go-getter and was great at defense and getting the ball down the court.

Good game, Joyanne!

Beautiful Music

Joyanne had an orchestra concert.

She has really improved over the year.

Her songs were exciting to listen to.

She's been a hard worker in many aspects of her life.
