FLUTE FEDERATION

Image
By
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, we all headed downtown to the University of Utah for Flute Federation. It's an event whereby the student plays a memorized piece and they are judged by professional flutists in the area. It is not a competition, they are judged only against themselves and they are given a score and feedback which helps them to know where they need to devote more time or where they are already skilled. This was Jasmine's first Federation and she was quite nervous but did very well. She performed a Concerto in G Major by Quantz. We do not have the feedback sheets yet but she did receive a 'superior' which is the highest score she could have gotten. Way to go honey!!

    That's awesome! Tell her to keep up the good work. It's moments like these that make all the bad days of being a mom worth it.

THE GREAT GOAL SETTER STRIKES AGAIN

By
HERE ARE MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS (other than family). Something to shoot with and something to edit with. I have a passion for photography. I love to take action shots, close ups, still shots, pictures of nature, kids, you name it, I like to shoot it. I took many classes in B&W film back when it actually _was_ film. I spent many hours in the dark room but as the children came, and responsibilities grew, the time I was able to devote to my hobby dwindled. Someone suggested we get a digital camera. The side of me that doesn't do change well thought I would never enjoy a digital camera the way I do my manual one. But once I got a hold of my first digital camera and realized that the possibilities are endless (mostly that I can take a thousand shots to get the right one without paying to develop them all!), I was hooked. But there was one small problem. The shutter delay was annoying. I would see this adorable child in the view finder and push the button and .... where...

EIGHT PLANES AND SEVEN DAYS

By
UNDER THE GUISE OF HOMESCHOOLING , Lizzie and I took a trip! Our plan was to visit friends and family in North Carolina and then head on over to DC for a little history lesson . Day ONE: 3/26/09 SLC - LAS 7:45 AM L izzie and I met up with my friend and co-worker Jennifer at the airport that morning. She and her husband Mark were headed to DC until we could get out there. The flight was uneventful other than some turbulence . We got a bite to eat in the Las Vegas Airport and waited for the next flight. 3/26/09 LAS -JFK The flight leaving out of Vegas was extremely terrifying. At one point the flight attendant, Janie had to tell me 'it's going to be ok , Joanie' as she was hanging on for dear life in the back. I mean come on. I'm not a wimp . Even the seasoned professional was flying in fear! JOHN F KENNEDY AIRPORT NEW YORK HIGHLIGHTS We had a little bit of a layover so we ordered food with Jennifer and Mark. First day on the trip, the airport food didn't...

Purge of a Lifetime

By
For the past eighteen months, my life has been in a complete transformation so much that parts of me are unrecognizable.  This is a good thing but making monumental changes can use up a lot of energy.  I had been so focused on finding myself, creating a thriving business and building a different relationship with my kids that many things were neglected, mainly housework. After pushing hard in business, transforming my being and making a major effort to connect with my kids at a whole new level, the time had come to shift the energy of the home as well.   On June 2, we embarked on an overhaul of the upper floor.  I can't say that I was excited about it but it was time and from somewhere deep inside, I mustered up the energy to put my shoulder to the wheel and push along...for nine long and labor intensive days.  Everyone laughed at me when I scheduled 10 days for this project but as the days wore on, it was apparent that I may actually have some ...
