Recital Spring 2010

So the Spring Recital was last weekend. It went super great! I was so pleased with how all the students performed...especially my own sweet kids! Aubrey never misses a beat and Weston is such a ham he was just born to be on stage. I had such nerves all morning. I really didn't know if I could handle it! I just get so nervous and jittery about stuff like this. I have had many a performance where I completely let myself down and let my nerves get the best of me. Anyway, the best part about this group is I wasn't the one performing and the kids didn't let me down. They did it...and did it wonderful!!!

Here we are with Miss Tracy at the end. This is the whole gang .( Minus one...who forgot:)

Some close ups. It is so hard with indoor lighting to ever get a good shot.

I thought this would be cool...but it turned out cheesy, but Aubrey will like it. I love her smile.

Afterwards Jake took us to Pei Wei to celebrate. He is the best! The kids love the noodles and I love to eat. I am so proud of my kids and myself for this. It has been a great experience and I am excited to do it again next fall. I want to get some of the video to upload so you can see it for yourselves. I love singing and music is just such a huge part of who I am. I feel blessed to have children that have shown an interest and even Jake for letting it be such a big part of our lives. I love feeling like our little family is learning and developing knew talents. This silly little recital sure meant a lot more to me that I thought it would. I felt like a real "grown up" and like I am achieving some of the potential that I have been given. I have always been a little scared of sharing my talents and felt I wasn't "good enough." There is something about doing things you are afraid to do....that is so rewarding. I hope to instill in my kids a desire and a belief in themselves. Thanks everyone who believed in me! My mom and Tracy and Jake have all been really supportive and I needed it.
