Random Moments from April

Here are some random moments from our April.  Easter was a pretty big deal so it got it's own post.  But now for the rest of the story.

 Suki loves our new rug.  I would have included this picture in my post about her but I hadn't written about our new floor yet and didn't want to "give it away" so to speak.  Then I was going to include it in the post about the remodel and of course I forgot.  So here you go.  When we first got it she would chew on it.  Not sure why.  She stopped after a while.  She still loves to roll around in it, it's pretty silly.

Do you remember when we had the mud rain?  I went to take Jonathan to band and came back looking like this.  Luckily, it rained a ton after that and mostly washed it off.  It took us weeks before we actually took it to a car wash because it kept raining.

As soon as I got our concert schedule last summer I have been super excited for our Spring concert.  It was called A Conversation with Sam Cardon.  He's a local composer who has done some impressive work.  Among those, of which I was already aware, was the soundtrack for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria.  I don't play WoW much anymore but I loved and still love the music for it. 

 I had been waiting all season for this concert and it finally came!

Sam Cardon came to a couple of rehearsals.  My fellow bassist, Nate, took this picture and since it's so blurry we called it our Sam Cardon Bigfoot picture.  It was a super fun concert, all the music was so fun to play.  We played a few classics along with his music and one of them was Aquarium from Carnival of the Animals.  Bryce, our conductor, had sent out an email asking if anyone wanted to play the 2nd piano part.  I happened to be checking my mail at the time so I was able to respond right away and say YES!  So that was super fun too.  This was one of my favorite concerts ever.

Speaking of driving to Provo, I drove past the Provo City Center Temple on my way to orchestra and was stopped at the light at University Ave. in the perfect spot for this picture.  I'm so excited to see it when it's all done.  Also, you can totally see how dirty my van is still.

The very same night I was playing at my awesome concert, Nathaniel was playing at his Spring concert.  It absolutely broke my heart that I couldn't be there.  I made sure that he had plenty of family there to cheer him on.

 Jaaromy recorded it for me and I was able to watch it later.  He did such a good job.

Both pairs of Grandparents were able to come.  I'm so glad!

So there you have it, our April.  I believe May is next.
