Karlee Ann!

Karlee had the coolest recorder concert ever!  Layne and I were dreading having to listen to 200 third grade students give a recorder concert (I know great parents, right?), but we were pleasantly surprised!  They "rocked out" with their recorders.  That Ms. Perry (the music teacher) is quite clever!



Karlee's class took first place at field day!  They were excited!


 Karlee and her buddy, Alaina.  [The night before the last day of school, Karlee was heard crying after we had said goodnight.  When asked what the matter was she replied with many tears,  "I don't want school to end because I will miss my friends."  Although sad at the time, she too has adjusted quite well to the summer break!]  :)   


Karlee started piano lessons with Ms. Aubree this year and loves it!  She had her first piano recital the end of May and played The Snake Charmer.  She had memorized it and played it very well!  Big smiles all around!


Ms. Aubree also has all of her students (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) compose a song of their own.  They are then judged.  Karlee won first place in her group for her song The Farm.  She was very surprised and very excited - as she got a whole jar of Skittles!  :)  The talent of these young kids is pretty amazing!


Ms. Aubree and Karlee - we love Ms. Aubree!


And we love our silly Karlee who always keeps us on our toes!


Really?
