Happy July 4th!!!!

I can not believe that it is already JULY!! More than 1/2 of the year is already gone. Today we started off our day early at a July 4th Breakfast at the park. Aubrey started taking piano lessons a month ago through Parks & Recreation. She has learned to play the Star Spangled Banner so she asked the Bishopric if she could play that song this morning at the breakfast. I think she did a fabulous job....she played 1 wrong note at the beginning and got lost with everyone singing but she managed to get back on track and did AWESOME. (She also auditioned for a solo on her recorder for her Music Performance in May and was chosen. I was shocked that she would want to do that.) Our shy little Aubrey is breaking through her shell.
(I will try to load video later- difficulty tonight doing so.)
