piano recitals {3.31.08}

April 7, 2008

My “girls” {Kiana & Myla} take piano lessons from the most talented, wonderful woman Maiza Simpson. She has a strong Austrian accent and an infectious love of music. This was Myla’s 1st year of piano and Kiana’s first year {returning from a 2 year break} with Maiza. The recital was very traditional and just CUTE! I am a terrible piano mom because I require nothing of my girls. No practice. I am not hoping for my children to become amazing pianist, but I figure in ten years after a 30 minute lesson every week they will at least be better than I ever was…

Our Easter morning began with a Scavenger Hunt…the Easter bunny sent the kids all-over…inside and outside…


{Myla’s pyjama’s never match!}







The kids loved their personalized M&M’s


Then we got ready for church, we attended the services at Christ Evangelical Church.
It was the best Easter Sunday services I can remember.
Thank you, Nate & Jackie for thinking to invite us.

chuck e cheese

March 19, 2008

this was Sela’s first trip to chuck e cheese’s.

I just couldn’t take her there before.

Our local chuck e cheese was remodeled about a year ago, but I still feel like it’s a little ghetto = flu inducing germs.

Did she like it?

The pictures speak for themselves!

KJ facing backwards to make this game work – made me smile. I love my little buddy. He’s so addicted to video games.

You can’t see Sela’s screaming face here or feel her little body trembling,
she was not a fan of chuck e cheese himself.

Autumn DelGrosso-Turley & Ashly DelGrosso-Costa giving last minute practice to Myla & Ezra and the other young couples from Center Stage Performing Arts Studio

The swing started out with 4 heats of 30 couples = about 120 couples, Myla & Ezra were called back 4 times! So, they made it to the final 24 couples… This is also so cool {let me remind you} because Ezra is 7 and Myla is 8….they compete in the pre-teen division which is 12 & under!

In-between each round, they post the results of who has been called back by the male’s number,

go, bunny racers, go!

the supplies
mine, I had to use pink & reds, love those colors together!
Myla’s – hers was a train
KJ’s – Monster truck style, he doubled up his ho-ho’s!
We made these last night. I think they would be a great Easter classroom treat/activity for next week. The kids had fun making them, they each had their own twist on it.

*these are my first posted pictures from my new camera!! I’m thrilled with it. These were taken with my even newer lens, the 50mm-1.4, love it!!
