Spring Piano Recital

Luke, Evan, & Jenna had their spring piano recital today.
They all worked very hard on their pieces, and played beautifully!

Luke played "Scary Shadows" by Bober

Evan played "Mystical Tarantella" by Vandall
and "Snowflake Rag" by Faber

Jenna played "Romanze" by Bober and a duet with her piano teacher that was called "Hungarian Dance No. 5"

Enjoy! : )

Our sweet bundle of joy arrived last night…

So precious

Just Splashing Around

During Spring Break we spent a night at the Ramada

and had a great time at the indoor waterpark...

Ryan really likes the big slide, and went down it lots of times

Jenna, Sierra, Kara, & Brooke relaxing in the hot tub

Kara, Paul, Evan, & Luke, too

A rare smile for the camera...

when it comes to Ryan, these are awfully hard to come by!

Playing Marco Polo

Another trip down the big slide

All worn out
