Winter Recital- February 11, 2011

Teague and I had our winter recital last weekend. We both played two pieces, but due to the fact that I didn't know about the recital till the week before, and I didn't start memorizing my first piece till about 5 days before the recital, my first piece has been edited out because it was rather. . . .rough :P :D hehe 

Enjoy!

Boys and Their Violins

My brothers participated in a string festival this last weekend, and they had a concert at the end of it. Chord and Calder played in a trio. Their piece was The Easy Winners bye Scott Joplin. It was kinda neat, because I've never heard jazz style played on violins before. Enjoy!

Calder is on the left as 1st violin, and Chord is in the middle as 2nd violin.

Silent Night

Our Christmas Program this year was mostly music. Anyone that wanted to play or sing told the Pastor and he put it all together with narration between each special. I wanted to play my harp...but I didn't want to play alone =o) So I asked a friend to play his guitar with me. I think it turned out pretty well, and guitar and harp sound awesome together!

You will probably need to turn the volume up to hear it, especially at the beginning (and don't forget to pause my music at the bottom of my blog)
Thank you, Lance for playing with me!

What Child is This

Chord and I arranged and played a duet of What Child is This for my Christmas Recital. It was kinda rough because we only learned it 2 days before the recital, but I think it turned out pretty well =o)

Jehovah, Hallelujah

I had a Christmas recital for my piano students, but...since I only have 4 students I decided to recruit some other people. So my brothers played their violins and I asked my parents and the Chace's to sing a song.

Jehovah, Hallelujah

Traditional Spiritual

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
The foxes have a hole, the birdies have a nest
The Son of God, He don't know where to lay His sweet head.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

There was room at the inn
For the merchants that day,
But Joseph and Mary had no place to stay.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

Then a star in the heavens,
The message did bring!
The tiny Babe in swaddling clothes, was Jesus the King

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

Sorry, it cuts off the last word of the song...the memory card was full on our camera.

Harp Video

Some people have requested a video of me playing the harp....so here you go =o)

This song is called "Menuet en sol Mineur" (it's French :P but I think it means "Minuet in G Minor)

Christmas Presents...

So here's all my Christmas loot...I think I was a little spoiled....=o}

I got two new outfits for my dolls...and Kirsten's table and chairs..but you can't see them very good....sorry...

I got two head lamps and a few different books. I got the Kit movie and us kids got The Cisco Kid...they are really funny westerns...we also got some very corny Christmas movies...the only reason they are any good is because they are corny=o)
I got two blouses, and two skirts, and those horse books that I can't wait to read....

Krista got me this really nice water bottle with a splash guard...which is really nice especially if you are on a road trip. Thanks Kriss!

Mom made all of us kids little crocheted animals, this is mine. It's a seal and it is sooooo cute!


Mom and Dad also got us the.....Star Wars movies! We've been wanting to watch them forever and we didn't expect to actually own them...so that was neat=o)

Aimee gave me this Willow Tree Statue...it's very cute!

and Mom and Dad also gave Cadence and me an MP3 player. but...since Cadence probably won't be interested in it for a little bit...I'll probably use it more=o)

and of course we got tons of candy...=o)

Well that was fun=o)

2 week old babies...

Here's week two pics...they're getting HUGE! 'member how small the black one was last week...well here it is this week=o) It was hiding in my fingers....

They still like to huddle all together though



I got one of him without him hiding here....
This is my favorite white one, 'cause of the one little black spot on it's nose....

I love the way it's ears flop!!!!!!
This one was just laying there being sweet....

The bunnies just recently opened their eyes and now they're learning to hop, so that's what these movies are of, of them hopping...and they are super cute and funny=o)

~Kluane

EWWW!!!

Just to let you know...you might not like these movies or pictures....unless you've done dissecting in school for like, science or nurse training or something like that....so BEWARE!=o)

Yeah....it was pretty nasty....=o)
It was pretty gross but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...

In this last movie, we look like surgeons or something, 'cause all you can see are our hands and tools...........and.............theee....VICTIM!!!!=o) hehehehe *evil laugh* Just Kidding=o) I've already done a earthworm and I have a perch(and kind of fish) and a frog left to do...I think I'm going to do the perch on Wednesday.....Eeeeeeeeeewww....=0) I guess it's not quite as nasty as the spiders people swallow....on Tobi's blog......that's another story...=o)
