Davis County Symphony

About eight months ago, my mom was invited to be a featured performer for the Davis County Symphony's Spring concert.  She was SO excited!  She even convinced my older sister, Suzanna, to join in with her viola that she hasn't played in twelve years.

My Aunt Ellie and her granddaughter, Sophie, who was pretending to be shy.

My Uncle Aaron (my mom's younger brother), and his son, Lance.

 Aaron's wife, Kristy, and their daughter, Leigha, couldn't come because they were at Leigha's dance competition.  Aaron has played the trombone as well for a long time and after my mom's performance was telling everyone that that's the hardest solo he's ever heard and my mom did amazing with it.  :)

My mom came out for the second song (there were five total) and did her thang.

I tried getting Suzanna, but all I could see were her eyes from where I was sitting.

Ten minutes into the first song, the kids were BORED.

My mom and Suzanna did awesome!  My mom memorized her entire fifteen minute piece.  Sadly, I had the whole thing memorized as well since I listened to her practice it nearly every day for the last six months.  Shane did, too.  

Funniest part of the whole night was when the symphony started their last song and all of my kids suddenly perked up.  Kaden whispered loudly, "Mom!  They're doing the Little Einsteins theme song!!"  It wasn't really the theme song, but it was one of the classical pieces Einsteins uses on their shows.  Sadly, again, I knew the words of the song the Einsteins put to the classical piece and was singing along in my head.
