A Pioneer Treking We Will Go!

Well, after many meetings, gathering supplies, sewing bonnets, flannel nightgowns, aprons, pantaloons, and last minute warm sleeping bag purchases, we are finally off on our trek tomorrow. I must admit that I wan't that keen at the beginning, but after all the reading I've done on the handcart companies and after finally finishing all of the sewing I'm getting kind of excited. It snowed last weekend in the area we are going so I think our dry streambed that we cross, is full. I will hopefully be able to post some terrific pictures. I must say that we look very stylish..... I haven't be able to post pictures for some reason, hopefully that will change. I have to get the one of Melissa playing the piano upside down. It is a hoot!

Trying New Things

Melissa came home one day from school with a great idea of a new way for her to play the piano. She actually played " If your happy and you know it" quite well. My girls just finished taking their piano exams. Melissa did her level 10, Brooke level 6, and Chantelle level 3. WAHOO!!!! They all received a SUPERIOR rating which was the top rating. Chantelle wasn't very impressed at having to take a theory exam, infact in her nightly prayers she prayed that she wouldn't have to do theory ever again. She managed to get an 88% so I'm not sure what she is complaining about - what a nut.
