Hey everyone! K, so it hasn't been 2 days, but oh well. Close enough.
I have been so busy and I am having my only free afternoon this week TODAY. I only get a free afternoon every other week and so it kind of makes me appreciate just how much i USED to take for granted. In other words, a free afternoon, sleeping in until 7:00, no COD LIVER OIL that stuff is absolutely disgusting. If you ever want to try it, buy the liquid stuff. It goes down your thraot easier than the cod liver oil JAM!!! I gag every time I take it. Anyway, just to prove how busy I am, I am going to post my weekly schedule.
Monday- Violin and Flute lesson @ 8:30-9:30 Teach a piano lesson @ 3:00-4:00
Tuesday- Boys Cello lesson @1:00-2:00 Choir from 4-6 and an hour both ways to get there
Wednesday-Teach 1:30-2:30 & 4-5
Thursday- homeschool group 3:00-5:30 Uncle Nate comes for dinner 5:30
Friday- Teach 1:30-2:00 Friday Chores Clean the Barn
Saturday- Orchestra 8-10:30 Saturday clean my room

See what I mean??? I am so busy I almost don't even have time to THINK!! It's all worth it though. I get paid more that uncle Nate for teahing piano and violin.
For orchestra this year, I get to perform at ABRAVANEL HALL!! I am so excited!!!
Then for choir, Drew and I get to perform at ABRAVANEL HALL and THE TABERNACLE!!!
How many kids do you know who perform TWICE at ABRAVANEL HALL and once at THE TABERNACLE and twice at the CATHEDRAL OF THE MADALEINE???!!!
I am so blessed with all of the opportunities that I have through music. I really am. Anne

Hello Everybody! Sorry that it's taken me till January to post about our September Disneyland trip. We were just really busy. We drove up to St. George on Saturday, and spent the night with our cousins, the Jon and Tina Saunders family. We went to church with them the next day and left right after church. We made it all the way to California that day. Let me tell you, were we GLAD to get out of the car and away from HYPER little kids.

I remember one specific thing that night. Grandma and the others had driven up earlier that day, and they were gone when we got there. We had dinner and we got in bed and everybody was almost asleep...and the phone rang. Of course, it was Grandma. We had the following conversation. (Grandma was wide awake and I was very groggy):

Me- Hello?

Grandma-What are you guys doing in bed? It's only 10 o'clock!

Me- Who is this?

Grandma- Grandma

Me-it's 11 in UT so we were tired ad went to bed

Grandma- Get up and come out and play! We are in California!

Me-Grandma, we're tired

Dial tone

Me-Bye

LOL!!! Funny conversation huh? Anyway;) Monday we went to Universal Studios and we had a ton of fun. Dad lost his wallet there(or so we thought) And when we were moving out we found it behind the TV :. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we went to Disneyland and California Adventures. Tuesday we did entirely Disneyland and guess what? We got to play tag with Chip and Dale! Wednesday we did California Adventures until it closed and then we went over to Disneyland. Dad took the little ones back to the hotel room when California Adventures closed so it was just mom and the big kids and afterwards we stopped and got slushies. Thursday we hit California Adventures in the morning and we did what rides we wanted to, then we went over to Disneyland and hit the rides we wanted to. Then we bid goodbye to LA and drove to Oceanside that night. We spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the beach and on Monday drove up to Sea World. I have not been on the ride Atlantis in the 2 times that we went there. It was always broken, and they were still running it! Anyway, we drove back on Tuesday and we made it home in time for Farm Chores. yay;). We had a lot of fun. If you have any comments or questions, please ask or comment on the comments at the end of the post. I'll check in 2 days and hopefully answer the questions that day. Or it might take me until May. You never know!

Bye, Anne
