The Piano Playin', Ice Cream Eatin' Post

This post is about the finer things in life. Which we all know as piano music and ice cream.



PIANO: Princess and Jogus had a great time participating in Federation this year. They practiced very hard. And luckily, it all paid off. :) They both got Superiors from the judges, which means the judges could tell they knew the song and practiced a whole lot. In our four pieces combined, we made a total of just two mistakes!! It was a great experience, and Jogus is making progress every year. Next year, we both have a chance to win a trophy! :)

Speaking of playing the piano, Jogus played the prelude in primary. It was a bunch of fun playing semi-simplified versions of "I am a Child of God" and "I Lived in Heaven."

ICE CREAM: We scream for Ice Cream!

A few days ago, I had a scoop of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Mmmm, it was good. But that's not really what this post is about.

When me and SamMan were playing outside, (we've had summery wheater throughout the week,) we heard a blaring loud, playful music. Ignoring the music, we went inside to do something else. We came in to find Mo and Daddy rushing down stairs, to tell us that the ICE CREAM TRUCK was outside. We invited some neighbor kids to come, slip on some shoes, and buy some ice cream bars. They had everything from Batman, (yes batman) to Heath.

It was yummy. :)

SamMan had a face covered in Strawberry icecream. It was hilarity, so we took some pics. I need to get them onto mushpot of awesomeness soon.

so that's about it.

(speaking of mushpot of awesomeness, i'm still mad about my screwed up post. look at the original post and the post below to find out why.)

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!

(see mushpot of awesomeness: post these are a few of ________'s favorite things)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I just tried to do a post on Mushpot of Awesomeness. Um yeah, didn't go so well. I decided to publish it for the comic novelty of it.

Spacing is wierd.

Pictures took foreverrrrrr to upload.

There is about 6 cazillion (no, that's not a number...) empty lines between the first and seconde line... (honestly didn't know how that ended up.)

The words don't match the pictures right.

Even the note telling that it didn't turn out right SOMEHOW got screwed up and messed up my poem about SamMan.

THIS is NOT my lucky blog day. :(

ps ( brooke's kids got SamMan addicted to power rangers. it's kinda violent but it keeps him happy so, i'm goin' with it. :)

What Do You Think!??!

LIME GREEN OR WHITE???????

Tell me what you think in your comments.

Be honest.

5: The Gigantic Post

I did a huge intro last time, but I have several items of homework to get out of the way, so I'll just have to skip it. Let's just say it's been an eventful last few days around here.

SAMMAN HAD HIS THIRD BIRTHDAYwith presents, Noodles and Company, music class, and playlands. The playland was JUNGLE JIM'S a mini indoor amusement park. He took two rides on the swings, spinner ride, and rollercoaster, played in the climbing zone, and also rode the carousel, rockets, and jungle cars. Dad got us a bunch of arcade tokens, so we played their as well. It was such a blast.

JOGUS'S SCHOOL PROGRAM was just about as close to Broadway as Flabio: The Story of A Blogger Mascot is. Which means it was pretty dang close. We basically sang a bunch of American songs and said parts that was supposed to give you the "journey through America's History affect" ANYWAY, it was a lot of fun and Mo, SamMan, and Grandpa were impressed.

Later that day Dad took us NIGHT SKIING. The only real advantage to snow, let me tell ya. Princess did awesome, espicially considering that was her third time skiing. Jogus had fun too, and we can't wait to go again.

Then, MONTHS AND MONTHS OF HARD WORK CAME DOWN TO THIS EVENT. IT'S JOGUS'S PIANO RECITAL, AND PRINCESS'S TOO. It was crazy mindbending. I was pretty dang nervous. We did it at the Piano Gallery, and I calmed down by watching the silent presentation on the screen. They set up a camera so that you can see the piano player's hands on screen. It's pretty cool. Princess did great. And now for legal purposes I have to warn you that I am about to brag. I DID AWESOME!!! I only made one minor mistake on one of my songs, that's it. And I played a three-page song and a Minuet written by BACH MEMORIZED!! I am so excited, I hope I do good at federation.

Today we missed most of the school morning to go to the DRAPER TEMPLE! It was a great time to go, especially after hearing stories of people waiting two hours. The spirit was so strong there. The celestial room had a humungous and be-yoo-ti-ful chandeiler that was almost as be-yoo-ti-ful as the feeling inside. Mo and Princess LOVED the carpet and lights in the Bride's room. And the huge sealing room with the huge 'forever' mirror was another highlight. Everything on the walls were amazing, but the feeling inside was even more. Princess was close to tears of joy in the Celestial Room. It was a great experience for our family.

And afterwards, we got to look at temple pictures and eat cookies.

Sorry to my three-person fan club that I haven't blogged in forever.

Hope your life's has been as awesome as ours!!
