Saturday

We had a fun day Saturday watching our kids.
Abby had a piano recital and did so good. She played Vivace by Cornelius Gurlitt, and Arabesque by Frederich Burgmuller. The camera had lots of battery power :) here she is.


It was also Jake's last soccer game for the season. They played their little hearts out in the hot sticky weather. They were so sweaty and tired, and the referee kept getting the time all messed up and they ended playing about twice as long as they usually do, poor hot kids!



He was right in front of the other teams goal and calling for the ball "I'm open, I'm open". Gosh, it makes a soccer mom's heart proud! After the game they had a pizza party. And now as soccer ends baseball begins, I'll keep ya posted! Estee taking everything out of my purse, I mean, supporting Jake at his game.
I hope this means she will be a soccer player someday! Go Estee!
After all the activities of the day we got the slip and slide out and tried to cool off. I love this cool action shot of Jake going in for a knee slide!

No smiling here, this is serious business, playing in the water.


This picture of Abby is proof that she did actually SLIDE on the "slip and slide". Which you will understand why I put in after you watch the video below--she was having a hard time sliding!

Musical Night


Here are the boys warming up for the big duet (on top of old smokey)!
We had a fun night of recitals! How exciting to have piano and cello recital all in one night! The only problem was that they were both at the same time! So luckily Dan was able to take the boys to their piano recital. While the girls went to Abby's cello recital. Luckily Dan got some good footage of the boys playing their pieces (see below). Unfortunately, the camera I was using had a dead battery! But you can take my word for it--Abby was spectacular on her cello!!
