A Lady in the making . . .

In our family all birthday's start off when you first wake up to the family singing "Happy Birthday" to you in bed. Our oldest daughter Scottlyn tuned 11 this month.

She has turned into a wonderful pianist this year and asked for a piano cake . .

We were down at my parents home for the weekend and took her to her favorite Mexican restaurant . . she got the hat there.

Here she is blowing out the candles . . . .

What a pretty smile she has . . .

She was blessed with an iTouch from her Maw Maw and Paw Paw. Her Grammie and Papa gave her the purse with her initial on it. Plus it was filled with some CA$H in it. She will spend some of it one books from her favorite book store.

Art: Spring 2010

Back in January the girls started taking weekly Art Classes every Tuesday afternoon. Their teacher was a retired High School Art Teacher. Mrs. Mendyk is very gifted . . . a blessing to us all. Shalyn and her had a special bond this season with their love of Art. Below are two slide shows of the girls art work:

Mrs. Mendyk hosted an Art show at her home where all her students were able to exhibit their work they have done over the past several months. Here is a picture of her and all her students.

Piano 2009 ~ 2010

Just wanted to share the pictures of Scottlyn's Spring Piano Recital:

She received a medal for being an Outstanding Performer at the local level . . . that advanced her to the state level. This was her second year making it to state. It is an Honor just to make it to state. 92% of the performers at the state level are Asian, my fair skin dark brown hair and Hazel eye princess sticks out BIG Time. She is excited to return back to playing and improve on what she has learned this year. Her long term goal is to place at the state level.

She also received recognition as being the most improved for all her hard work. She practices about 2 hours a day!! Last fall we switched piano teachers to give her more of a challenge. She is very gifted in her ability to understand and play music. Her mind can understand at a higher level then her hands are able to play. She works daily on exercising her hands, so that in a year or so they will be able to work better together. She knows that this gift is from God.

One of the BEST things that weekend was being able to share it with her dearest friend. They have been friends from the age of 2. They are truly kindred spirits!!
