Violin awards

 This year Em and Hay both participated in the Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival with violin.  They both did an amazing job.  So proud of them.  It's not easy to stand up in front of a judge and be scored on your performance. Hay ended up getting an award.  She was extremely excited.  She is definitely our most competitive child.  She won some money at a music store where she bought herself and ukulele.  Her Grandpa J. has been teaching her how to play it. 

 Em had a terrible cold that day and did not feel good.  As you can tell by the picture.  She did such a great job on her song and did it perfectly with a vibrato that she learned by herself.  Her teacher is always amazed at the fact that she learned that by herself and learned it correctly. So very proud of her.

 I love this picture...Hay is so little next to all the other award recipients.  So proud of her!
