"The Real Guitar Heroes"

This was what the title of Garth and Garin's Guitar recital was-cute, huh? I think it was because SO MANY people have started taking lessons since the game came out. Garth and Garin have both been taking lessons for a little over a year. For Garth this was one of those "always wanted to dos" and for Garin he had been wanting it a little less time! ;-) They both did terrific! Their teacher, Greg, is such a great guy (he is the tall guy clapping in the last picture). He encouraged everyone to write their own music/words and sing them while playing. Garin did just that. Garth, a bit more reserved perhaps, decided to play Wonderwall and had Greg sing. Let me say that I was a very proud Wife/Mom standing in the back while holding Ryden and wishing Shelby to take good pictures. She did pretty good considering our camera is going...

Three Pigs Opera...Kindergarten Style

Yep, that's right. The Three Pigs Opera. Trev is on the top row, the 4th hat from the left (bright pink). You just have to love listening to a bunch of kindergarten kids singing about the 3 pigs. It is truly one of the joys of parenthood. And the exciting part is that we get to hear it again next year with Starlee. Do we love it because our kid is in it, yep. But, maybe they could sing something else-Mat Kearney maybe? or Jack Johnson? Either is pretty mellow. Jack Johnson even has the Curious George songs...maybe I should suggest it? ;-)

What we have been up to...

Everyone may have noticed that blogging just hasn't been something I have been getting done. We have been busy with our normal, chaotic lives plus the normal "more." Garin made the school basketball team, Shelby is participating in ballroom dancing, I am the co-Art Docent for Ethan's class, and of course just getting things ready to go out of town again. All these=CRAZY!

So, I will be trying to get everything a bit more updated. I have tons of recipes I want to post on The Isom Ate as well as some pictures of the kids from our latest trip to Utah.

Anyway, bear with me-I am getting there. And until then-have a terrific day! I have enjoyed reading everyone's blogs even though I have been lame about comments.
Google reader is so cool!

Sweet's Candy Factory

All I have to say is yum...oh, and free samples!

We took the tour and all the kids were entranced. Trev even stood right by me!
(I guess that was a little more said-you get my drift anyway, right?)

Spending the night at Casey & Jenna's

On our trip to Utah for Easter Ry, Ethan, and I spent the night at Jenna & Casey's. Here are a few of the pictures from our fun night:

Ry eating his quesadilla from Costa Vida-yum!

Ethan smiling at his appreciation of good food!

Casey hanging all of the March Madness brackets...time consuming! ;-)

Ryden playing with Aunt Jenna-and having fun as you can tell.
