ROCK ON!

The School of Rock had it's 1st show concert this May! It was Pink Floyd the Wall.

School of Rock is doing great. We are growing and growing. It is fun to see Boise kids so excited to play and be apart of this amazing organization. The best thing about School of Rock is watching the kids perform. It is one of the main reasons kids sign up is because it is so important to play to an audience.

The show was to be held in a courtyard outside a dinner in downtown Boise. Who would have thought that at the end of May we would get a snow storm? It was awful! Seriously the worst rain/snow/hail storm that Boise has seen in May for years and years! We could hardly believe it!

BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

So our Music director Derek and Jason quickly made as many phone calls as they could to find another venue last minute. It turned out to be such an amazing night the kids were so excited to put on the concert for their friends and family that it really did not matter where they played.

So in wet clothes the School of Rock, Boise played Pink Floyd the Wall in a Jewish synagogue. We sat on the floor and enjoyed an amazing show!

I looked around and saw all these parents that have been supporting School of Rock, it was a great feeling. We have been working on making a change with our family for the past few years. Moving to a new location, stepping out of our comfort zone and doing something different, it had now all come together! I felt so proud of Jason, the kids and even myself for going for it! We have worked hard this past year to get where we are. We have a tough road a head of ourselves, but after seeing the talent that these awesome School of Rock kids have, I know it will be a positive one!

Unfortunately because of the rain and complete chaos I did not take one photo. UGH, I'll be a better roadie next time!

ROCK ON!

Clara Pei is 6 TODAY!

It is hard to believe that my little baby girl is 6! She is so excited to finally be 6. She has been waiting for so long to turn 6!

Clara has the most amazing laugh. Everyone in the family loves to make her giggle. If Clara laughs then everyone laughs. Sometimes when I am brushing her hair she will giggle when I touch her neck. She has been doing this everyday for years. I love that my day starts out with a smile.

Clara loves to look pretty, dress pretty and play with pretty things. She told me last month that I was the most beautiful mommy in the whole world. I just love this girl.

Clara can ride a bike, empty all the trash cans in the house, clean a bathroom, roller skate, sing, dance and do a lot of cartwheels! All of which she taught herself to do.

She is a beautiful, smart addition to our family! Everyone loves Clara!

One thing not lacking in our family is sweets! I love making homemade treats! Camilla is catching on and the kids now put in orders for what they want her to make. Here are her delicious Cowboy Cookies!
