Music, Ice Fishing & stuff

 BayLea's last performance at LOM was last night. It was after school choir. She looked beautiful!

 This was just a shot I took of her for fun!

 Josh picking Breccan up from our hotel at 6:15 a.m. to head out to the lake in Grand Lake.

 I wonder where they are???

 Ethan got to ride one of the fishing monitor's snow mobile.

 On our way up there, we got a flat! :( Breccan got to learn how to fix a flat.

 Too bad we didn't get any fish.

Weekend Fun

 We had a very short visit from cousins, Aaron and Lacey…My kids would have loved to have them here a week. BayLea was super sad when they left after a day and a half…  :(

 Aaron got Breccan involved in a new game…we are having a hard time pulling him out of video games right now! LOL

 I wasn't home when the beds were being prepared, but my girl, Bay, knows how to do it! Choccolate, towels, water and a stuffed critter on every bed!

 Basketball…BayLea didn't make any points this week but she played awesome defense again!

 We checked out the new roller rink in town. They all had a great time. I felt almost like a super star with people who remembered me from Rainbow Roller Rink came up and talked to me! One lady came up out of the blue, and I don't know who she was, and told me that she liked my roller rink better! Ha. Wasn't mine! But I guess I halfway lived there...

 Jill skated, as well as both Aaron and Lacey, BayLea and Breccan.

 Breccan was actually there for a birthday party, and he racked in the tickets to get those very awesome worthless pieces of plastic prizes! LOL

 We also went to a Jam Session. Dad hasn't played for a long time and I know he had a blast. Chris is here, being Chris…staring at dad.

 My sweet friend, Susan…singing extraordianaire, kindermusic wonder-teacher, and super sweet person.

 And this is her nice hubby, who was smiling at her right here.

Then, Taryn, Chris's daughter, tells me she is going to sing the 'cup' song up there. I told her "BayLea sang that at a talent show at school last year." Taryn says "She knows the words??? I'm going to go get her and she can do it with me". Jery and I both said, "well, she probably won't do it, but you can try." Next thing I know, she is up there. You could just BARELY hear her, and probably only Jery and I could hear her since we know her voice so well, but I was so very proud of her for doing it. I told her every time she does that, it will get easier!!! And frankly, a jam session where she doesn't know anyone would be the best place to practice, as all these older people are sooooooo supportive of things like this.

Then when it was dad's turn to sing again, Chris set up his mike for him….guess he forgot that dad is only 6'2" and not 6'8".

Fun weekend!!!

Dad on the Dulcimer

He'd never heard of it before, and yet could play it!

Moose Jam Session

There was a jam session at the Moose last night. My dad's friend, Bob Evers, has played music with dad for 40-some years. He is ill and so they had a jam to honor him and his music and contribution to the Moose. We had a nice time.


Dad playing.


My grandpa and Laura dancing. They're so cute!


Dad welcoming Bob as he came in the door. You can see the emotion on his face.


The band, Whiskey Jack.


The five of them have made a cd which they are giving away. All of their pictures are on the cover and everyone was wanting them to sign them.


This is a great picture of Dad and Bob. I'm hoping dad has a picture of the two of them together back in the olden days...I would like to put it on here. The two of them played music Friday, Saturday, and Sundays at the Moose since the 60s. For many of those years there would be 400 people there (am I right, Dad?). During the late
60's and the 70's, the Moose was THE place to be to listen to good country.
