My Big Performance

I'm a member of the Caldwell Centennial Band, and it is so much fun.  I get to play my flute, and I love that I still get the opportunity.  I'm probably the youngest player in there, and most of the members are over 70.  It's awesome!  We do concerts in the park every other Monday night during the summer, and this was at one of our concerts.  They always have someone do a kareoke number in the middle to give the players a break, and I was asked to sing!  I was so excited!  I'm singing 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore' and aside from a big voice  in the second verse I think I did pretty good!  I'd love to hear what you think!

Kirk was the one who did the camera work, and while I know how to turn a picture 90 degrees, I have no idea how to do it with a video.  You'll just have to turn your head to watch me ;)

4th of July

Here's a little of what we did together on the 4th of July

We went to the Caldwell Parade.  Afterward, there was a petting zoo in the park.  I was worried that Emalee would be scared of the animals, but she absolutely loved them!!  We didn't get the greatest pictures, but here are a few.  This is a camel that tried to eat her shoes and her hat.

She's trying to pet a baby goat here.

We finally had to put her in the cage with the animals because she couldn't ever get close enough!

Here she is with a sparkler during our firework show.  We had to wait until almost 10 pm because it doesn't get dark until then!

I know this picture doesn't look like much, but to me it's adorable.  She was dancing with the sparkler and this is a picture of her dance from behind.  She was so cute!

Here is a picture of Emalee and I during our amazing firework show. 

This picture has nothing to do with the 4th.  This actually just happened tonight.  Kirk gave Emalee a bath and then did her hair - this being the result.  She knew that she looked funny, and when I wanted to get a picture she just started to cry!  It was like she was so embarrassed.  It was too funny!
