Homemade Aprons!
Mom and Abby just finished one of their sewing projects...matching aprons for Abby and her doll!
Wii Party!
Our Uncle Ben and Aunt Deb invited us over to their house for supper and a Wii party! Supper was delicious homemade pizza, fruit kabobs, lemonade, veggies with ranch, and brownies and cookies for dessert.
Aunt Deb also had some other challenges for us to do while taking turns at the Wii. Katie won the paper airplane contest! Deb made a target and let us each have 5 throws with a paper airplane. Abby and Katie had a tie, so they had to keep going till one of them lost!
The other challenge was an obstacle course...through the hallway! The goal was to make it all the way through in the shortest amount of time without ripping any of the streamers.
Playing Mario Karts!

It was a wonderful evening!

Oh Riley...
Some of my more interesting experiences have taken place during violin practices. When Riley is practicing, some of the funniest things happen...
Such as the time I was working on some techniques with him.
Me: "Riley, you need to keep your bow straight. Can you think of any ways to do that?"
Riley (plus sour, disinterested look): "By not letting it get crooked?"
Me: "And how exactly are you going to keep it from getting crooked?"
Riley: "By keeping it straight?"
Or the time he was practicing "Home on the Range" for a recital coming up. He decided to start singing the words while he was playing...and yodel while he was at it. For all of you violin players out there; have any of you ever tried singing (never mind yodeling) while you're playing?! Extremely difficult.
He loves to play by ear and will just randomly start playing a song that he's heard recently off of a movie, or maybe a hymn that we sang in church. It's pretty funny to hear his very own renditions of those songs! He has a very good ear for music, but sometimes one song will merge into another, making it hilarious!
And just around the house, he has some other hilarious habits which drive almost everyone nuts...Mom and I just look at each other and burst out laughing. Such as the times he imitated the "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" song off of Youtube. Or the times he puts exaggerated vibrato into his voice and goes around singing the Star Spangled Banner. Or he just might be singing his heart out while he's brushing his teeth, as the rest of us are sitting in the living room waiting to start family devotions. Very often he tries my patience, but as I look back on my life, I can't imagine living life without him! It would be so very dull.
I just dug this note out of my drawer...I think I'll probably save it forever, and maybe pull it out at his graduation or wedding someday. He wrote this when he was about 7.
"Thank you Britany for tetching me vieulin. Sore fore Beeing a bab Bruther Thank you for Being a good Sis! I aprisheeAte you vere muse."
