Saturday was a very busy day for us. It started out at 5:40, when our two little alarm clocks (Jonah & Clay) woke up. I decided to just get up & get them some breakfast, because they weren't going to be going back to sleep, and I had to be up to take PJ to his All-Region Choir clinic at 7 a.m. The choir members met at the Jr. High to take a bus to Springdale Highschool for an all-day clinic, and then a concert that night. After I got back home & got showered & dressed, Neil left to help a family in our ward (they were moving to a new home). Then at 9:00 Clay had his swimming lesson, and at 10:00 Jonah had his basketball evaluation (to start the kids league in January). I wasn't sure how well Jonah would do, with a broken arm, but I was impressed that he made quite a few baskets and was able to dribble just fine, and the coach said he did great (especially considering he had a cast on his arm). After that we headed home for lunch, then Tessa & I went shopping to spend her birthday money. It was fun to have some "girl time" just with her. Then at 3:30, we all headed down to Springdale to pick up PJ & take him out to dinner before the concert (and take his tux to him for the performance). We got back to the highschool around 5:30, and PJ went in to change. The concert wasn't supposed to start until 6:30, but there were parents already going in, so we went in & found a great spot in the 3rd row. We were VERY glad we got there when we did. By about 6:00, the main floor & balcony were all packed and there were people standing in the back isles too. It was a great concert & the kids sounded incredible! I'm always amazed at how well these Jr. High kids can sing! The concert lasted almost 2 hours, and Jonah & Clay were getting so tired (they usually go to bed around 7:30, and we didn't get out of the concert until about 8:30), but we told them if they were really good, then we'd all go out for ice cream after the concert. I wasn't sure if they would still be up to it afterwards, since Clay had fallen asleep and Jonah was almost asleep, but they perked up afterwards so they could enjoy a yummy treat! :) It was a very busy weekend, but lots of fun family time, and fun to watch the kids in various activities and go shopping with my girl!
Here are some pictures from PJ's concert...
This is a shot of whole Jr.High Mixed All-Region Choir (There was also an all girls choir and 2 highschool choirs).
This is the only head shot we got of PJ. The Tenor 1 section is always front & center, right behind the piano, and because PJ is short, about the only thing we can see is the top of his head (if that). I only got this shot because I stood up right before they began their performance to get a picture of PJ. He is the middle one of the 3 short boys. :)
THIS was our view of PJ during his entire performance. Impressive, huh?! :) He is the 4th pair of legs from the left, right next to the kid whose white shirt is hanging out. :)
