Happy Birthday, Baby Charlotte!

I can't believe she's already one. This sweet baby has been such a joy - we all adore her! She has the sweetest disposition and captures the heart of everyone she meets. We had a special birthday party for her on Saturday and she was such a gracious little lady. It made me laugh how she gave each gift attention in her cheerful way. She loved the attention and was so sweet about it. It was so fun! Some fun facts about Charlotte: She loves bananas, peas, and mommy's bread. She loves music and will dance and sing along. She takes cuteness to an unbelievable level when she shrugs her shoulders and also when she raises her arms above her head and says "YA!" She loves her mommy and family and flowers. We are so blessed to have baby Charlotte.

Spring Piano Recital

Our annual Spring Recital was a success. Sammi and Maddi both performed on piano and guitar and did WONDERFUL. This was Keith's first recital and he was such a pro. He loves to play and it is so fun to see how talented he is. I love teaching my kids to play piano. We did take videos - but I need to figure out how to get it off of the DVD that Matt made. Until then...here's some photos. :)

Well, that pretty much sums it up.

Matt needs a vacation....or some ear plugs.

A couple of weeks ago we watched a BYU movie on Sunday. Matt inadvertently fell asleep. The show ended with a choir singing. Let's just say, there were some rough spots. I turned to see Matt's reaction (as I am wont to do in any and all our music experiences) only to find him doing what I like to call, his "music brows." Whenever something sounds a little "off" (i.e. flat, not-blended or just, well, off) Matt's eyebrows do weird things. Anywho, I caught him making his faces in his sleep. So we filmed it. Hil-ar-ious.

Char in the Car

Charlotte LOVES this song. I had Sammi film her as we were driving to show her reaction. You'll see smiling, dancing and if you listen close, some singing. She's so funny!
