Easter

Here are some fun Easter pictures. We had fun coloring eggs! After which Bob and I hid them and the "Kids" hunted for them. We had dinner at our house. It was a fun, filled house! This is Christina, Savannah, and Elise. Anarie is holding Olivia. This is Trudy and Anthony hard at work! This is Anthony, Trudy, Steven, Christina, Elise, Savannah and Thomas. Tom is making his 6 color striped egg. This is Great-Granpa watching everyone hunt eggs. They are all having too much fun watching Savannah! This is Savannah playing in her Easter basket.

Here is part of the write up from the newspaper:

USU music major to perform senior piano recital

Anarie White Petroff will perform her senior recital on Friday March 21 at 7:00 pm at the USU's Manon Caine Russell-Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall. She will be performing works by Bach, Haydn, Schumann, Ravel and Kabalevsky.

Anarie has received awards in various competitions, including the USU Piano Festival, Music Teachers National Association, Albertson College and Utah State Fair music competitions. Most recently, she received third place at the UMTA Concerto Competition. On April 24 she will perform the Liszt Hungarian Fantasy with the USU Symphony Orchestra for the Concerto Night concert.

She currently has 15 private students and teaches group classes throught the USU Youth Conservatory program. She is one of the teachers of the USU Keyboard Harmony course. For the past two years, she directed the week-long Summer Piano Clinic for high school students and organized the Cool Classics Concert Series. She enjoys serving as an accompanist for students and faculty from the various departments in the music program.

I will find pictures for past events and upcoming events as I get them. For right now here is a list of things we are doing. Bob and I are celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary today! Anarie is having her senior recital on March 21 at 7:00 at the Symphony Hall on the USU campus. Every one is invited to come. Admission is free. Christina is trying out for "Encore". Sky View High School's singing performing group. Christina is the student director for Sky View High's three act plays. They are currently practicing and will perform April 10-19. Christina has been chosen to sing with the Young Women's Broadcast on March 29. They have been having practices every Sunday evening since March 2. We will go down with her on March 22 for a practice in the Conference center. She is excited about this opportunity. It has taken us three weeks to find and buy the right style/color of blouses and skirts required for them to wear during the YW broadcast. Savannah will be two years old March 25. Olivia will probably be blessed on March 30. I don't have complete details yet. Anarie will graduate this spring. Details later on that. I think that just about covers it for now. I will update as more events or changes happen! I love all of you and hope this helps us to keep in touch!

Lana, my sister, said that I should but pictures of all of Christinas performances she's been in. So here are some. I will get "The King and I" musical and "The Fiddler on the Roof when I can find the pictures!
