one of the best days i have ever had.

our second photo shoot scheduled in utah…….the models never showed.
we were disappointed.
and hot.
and wendy says "let's do it ourselves!"
and we did.

this is 7 photographers getting to have a BLAST while the other 11 practiced their action shots in sunlight.
that was the point.
a COLORFUL shoot….with action and light……ready GO!

(all of these photos were taken by Kelley and Kim….both excellent photographers!)

it was a little  hard to breathe but not bad.
it was only bad if it went right in your eyes….but still you could recover….i did….and tyler did too.

πŸ™‚

 


Melody - Looks like so much fun.
Where did you buy the powder?

ginger - I am working with some college students who want to do a photoshoot similar to this… can you tell me where to get the powder or how to make it?

Hailey - The most likely thing I found was Holi powder. Though it’s possible it was simply paint powder. Paint powder can be toxic though…be careful about breathing it in!

sandra - merryheart2 - can you please tell me where you purchased your powder and how much you needed for this photo shoot. i googled and found them, but i was wondering where you found yours.
merryheart2@aol.com

sandra - merryheart2 - what BIG creative, fun! i love all the pictures.

Kristen - Oh my gosh – that is so awesome! Looks so fun!

kasey - Awesome!! What a great time you all had.

TidyMom - I think you may have started a new trend!!! Colored powder shoots!!
I LOVE this Meg!! thanks for making me smile this morning
So I have to ask, like everyone else……where do you get the powder?

Leyla - I’m dying to know what powder you used too. Could you post it in the comments or maybe a new post about the powder? This seems like a very fun shoot…love it!

Chantelle - so funny how everyone sees that you look like an avatar character. this is a tradition in india for the celebration of holi. you look like you had a blast… i couldn’t imagine a bunch of professional models pulling this one off πŸ™‚

Heather G. - Those pictures are amazing!

tami - lol I dont know if I could have done that. I would have participated from a far lol

Marcie - Please, email me how you got the colored powder!
bluaqua@aol.com

sara @ it's good to be queen - those pictures are amazing! so colorful and fun. and you look beautiful!

Leslie - That is THE coolest shoot EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christa aka the BabbyMama - This reminds me of the Indian holiday, Holi!

AmyM - Please, please, please share where you got the powder or how you made it whatever! I would love to let my kiddos do this and take pictures–they boys might actually smile naturally and have fun!! Just love them!!!!

Heather - I really don’t think that using powder like that seems like a wise idea and it freaks me out to think that readers want to do this with their children. What kind of powder is it? Do you know the toxicity when it goes in the lungs?
Artists have many health risks and this seems like one I wouldn’t take with my children. Hope people reconsider.

Kari - Very awesome! It reminds me of the movie Avatar, with all the beautiful colors.

Kristin Hayne - What a crazy looking band of warriors in Utah… ha ha. Would love to know what powder was used. Need to get some of the boys going crazy with it!!!

Lori Bowring Michaud - Very, very cool Meg!! My daughter just started her first photography class in college and has her first assignment – action shots are part of it. I showed her these pictures and she was floored! Especially the picture of the woman flipping her hair!

Rachelle | TinkerLab - Like Ami said, the powders remind me of Holi as well. Here are our pictures from this year’s festival. We LOVED it too. http://tinkerlab.com/2011/04/holi-colors/

Libby Donovan - You look like you could be in Avatar.

Doris - you look great!
really fun photos.

Colleen - That looks like wicked good fun!!!

Gray - I’m wearing the same shirt you’re wearing–today. It’s from Target, right? I LOVE it. I bought four in different colors and wish I’d bought more. I’ve lived in them this summer. Glad to know I have good taste. πŸ™‚

Kristin S - Whoops, I said Kelley above and meant Crystal.
Still love these shots.

Ami - Totally reminds me of Holi festival in India. What a great photo session idea!
Holi image that I think you will like: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ4T_2oRDhAdHPKU_ASJEdS6xZizCcRDYYcSSKFVCoqYQXmcff8Hg

Helen Wall - That powder looks like great fun. You guys may have started a fad!

Alicia - In the first few pics where your face is covered with blue powder, you look a bit like a character from Avatar (not meaning to sound mean at all… I hope you’re not offended by me saying that- I loved the movie!)
I think these are such cool photos! What a great time you must have had doing this! I want to know though- did it get all over the seats in the car?

Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - WOWZAS! I went back & forth between thinking “it looks like you’re casting some sort of visible spells on each other” to….”that is so cool!” to “thats a beautiful shot of Meg.” Such a fun day indeed!

Southern Gal - Is that a lens cap in Sandy’s pocket? I do that all the time.

friday in utah…..

IMG_4366-1-2

after a morning of camera talk….good stuff….we went on an adventure.
we rode a ski lift up to the top of the mountain (i think we were in deer valley…) and took pictures.

wendy is rad.

IMG_4404-1-2

i am having an AWESOME time.

Melissa - What program do you use for editing? How do you get the dark-ish edges that seem to make your subject “pop”???

AshleyAnn - Meg…these are gorgeous. You inspire me to challenge myself to grow as a photographer…Blue Lily one day?

Gretchen P - Moose are amazing! I had a mother and calf follow me while I was backpacking in the Grand Tetons. Very cool! Sounds like you are having an amazing time!!

Mindy Harris - what a neat opportunity, meg. thanks for helping us feel like we’re there. i like your “meg in utah” pic. you are adorable.

Kimberly Dial - Utah sure is a beautiful place! You, my friend, are what my oldest granddaughter calls an “Adventure girl”! … glad you’re having a good time! Enjoy!

lacey - thank you so much for posting pics of Utah. I grew up there. I miss it so much. My family is still there. I haven’t been home for almost two years seeing your pictures made me feel right at home! I needed that thanks.

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Yay! Meg in Utah! So fun!

Valerie - Weird engagement photos is RIGHT! I admire people for stepping outside of the box…but that is a BIG step!
I love your outfits! You always inspire me on things to wear! Great blog!

Nicole Q. - I’m crazy jealous about your location . . . every where you turn in Utah you see a pictureperfect landscape to shoot pics of. Deer Valley is beautiful. How i miss that state!! So glad you are enjoying it.

Jamie Smith - I am jealous of you.. had Blue Lily do our photos and just got them back this week. I LOVE THEM. I am saving my pennies to go to a GO PRO in 2012. And from your pics (both times you have hung with them) I am so staying in the party house.

Doris - I’m so glad you’re having a great time!

Ruth H. - Aww, you are making me so homesick! I grew up in the Utah mountains, seeing stuff like that in my backyard, practically. (Moose, elk, deer, coyotes…) Now I am living in the flat midwest. Love the trees, but miss the mountains! Enjoy that cool mountain air for me.

Tanya H - ah, you’re killin’ me. I live an hour away. LOL!

Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - When we did our tour of New England a couple months back, we were on constant lookout for Moose.

LOVE that you actually saw some!
Im so glad to hear youre having a wonderful time!

Ali - Mooooooose!

Kirsten P - Great photos of beautiful places! I especially love the birch trees in the ski lift photo – remind me of northern Minnesota and Michigan.

I like ‘Meg in the Mountains’!
Moosen! – Have you ever heard Brian Regan’s bit on that? My son do him is even funnier!
Have fun & learn lots!!

bullet points

*  this house in utah….the party house with all these fun photographers…..is SICK.
   i am pretty sure it is the nicest house i have been in.  
   ever.
   it's like a model home for Pottery Barn or something better than PB…gorgeousness in every corner.

IMG_4317-2-2
really well built.
not to mention the views….
IMG_4311-1-2
  
*  i got the exit row on the second plane.    most awesome.

*  i just bought these pants from dress barn and they are awesome.
   i love a wide waist band! 

*  i listened to two Francis Chan podcasts on the planes yesterday.
   two points i came away with that i loved…..
   he said so often we pray "God please show up here….show up for me…get me through…just please
   show up today."  and that is funny because God says "This is MY party.  I invited YOU.  i am already
   here.  i always was here.  be THANKful and GRATEful you were invited!" 

AND
  
  talking about how HUGE God is….how enormously HOLY and ALL authority is under HIM….
  he made that point that even if every person in the whole world united together and every one of us
  agreed and said "NO….we don't agree with you GOD."  it would not matter.  
  He is still in charge.

  and i love that.
  it's comforting.   
  and truth.

*  is it bad that i want my kids to get really good at piano so that they can play
   "sweet child of mine" by guns & roses?

i don't know this girl…she's not my kid….but she rocks!

*  i have to pick my winners!!!

my winner for the SNAPSHOPS workshop……

Donation to bring Davis home $5

Posted by: ashley | August 24, 2011 at 02:13 PM

 
*  last thing for today….we had a guest pastor (robert palmer) at our church last week and i liked his
     sermon
a lot.  
    you should listen to it.
    :)
    it straight from his heart.

have a super day…it's friday!!!  

 
 

Stacy - You need to listen to her play Dust in the Wind!

Kristin S - Have so much fun! That house IS awesome.
Francis Chan spoke at our CCC staff conference last month. Boy did he bring it. I need to listen to his podcasts over and over and over.
http://www.ccci.org/csu/index.htm

Sandy - House is awesome! I actually have those lamps, but I bought them at a second hand furniture store. πŸ™‚

Janie Fox - I love the Francis Chan.
I think your house is way cool.
I think I need those pants!
Have a great time!!

Amy - that was supposed to be ‘ever’, not every!

Amy - Meg- every inspiring! Thanks for sharing! Have you read Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell? fun book. πŸ™‚ I saw FC on youtube being “interviewed” by 2 other pastors on why he was leaving his Simi Valley church. Interesting intro to him (I’d never seen him speak before).

Trudy - Our Sunday School class just finished Chan’s Crazy Love & it is life changing. I worry much less now because of what I realized. And, I love his outlook on prayer….so true.
Have a great time in Utah!

Jacqui - Bummer! That comment by Ashley was right above me …… So close!

Sasha Holloway - I wish I were back in the states for this. One more year and I will be able to rock with the US Tawgs again. Love your blog .. keep it coming.

Kerry - oh Meg… That House. Those Pants. That song!! love all your bullet points. hope you’re having a rocking time xx

Joyagg - So, what Francis Chan podcasts were you listening to? Have a great time in UT!

Lisa - I listened to one of those FC podcasts last week while exercising. He gets me every time! Have fun in Utah (it’s still hot in Kansas).

steph - what about november rain?!?!
my high school boyfriend could play it on piano and i thought, at the time, it was incredibly sexy.
ha ha ha ha ha!
maybe you can get craig to learn it?! πŸ˜‰
have fun in UTAH!

Lisa - Have a superly awesome time in Utah!!! πŸ™‚

Mindy Harris - awww no snappie shop for me. cute post.

kat - Holy fabulous house!!! Congrats to the winners. That version of Sweet Child of mine on the piano is amazeballs!

julia - Is it bad that I want my son to keep up with the trumpet so he can one day play in a dimly lit bar (after working at his highly successful job), whilst drinking a cocktail and smoking a cigar?

Tami - The Sweet Child of Mine thing is really funny because that is the first song my 12 year old learned on his electric guitar. (He had just turned 11 at the time. Now I can’t even list how many 80’s rock songs he knows. Funny how my kids love 80’s and 90’s rock. Oh well, maybe because we listen to it a lot. BTW, I absolutely love Francis Chan.

Flower Patch Farmgirl - You are struck by the very same things I’m struck by lately. You need to listen to a David Platt podcast. Need. NEED.
Have a big, wild time in Utah.

leonieke - hai meg,
sounds like you are having a good time. and to go there by plane,…wow!
anyway, you recently mailed me because of my craftsday that didnt work out. eventualy i got the job done!
you can see it on my picasasite:
https://picasaweb.google.com/111785624346060418077/Creatief
you inspired me to do more of these creative things with my girls. thank you for that.

ashley - Hey that’s me! So excited!
Did you know that my husband and I were at the Tulsa KOL concert? If I had seen you, and recognized you, I would have hugged your neck.

aubrey - i meant it’s too dang HOT. my four-year-old is pestering me.

aubrey - You’re in Utah?! Any chance you’ll be at IKEA tonight? I happen to be going there with my sister-in-law KID FREE. (just kidding–i know you’ll be busy and stay in the mountains it’s too dang out right now in the valley.)
I think you’re house is a lot cooler than this one–it has more personality. In fact, I think I’m always subconsciously trying to copy you. I love how you decorate.

georgia - My dad sent me a tape with this song on when he used to dj, and on a live set he dedicated it to me. He lives abroad and I haven’t seen him in 6yrs so this made me cry!

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Sweet Child of mine rocks… πŸ™‚ Kee hee.

Jalissa - I don’t know Meg, you have a pretty awesome house!

happygirl - Love Utah. The views are spectacular. Enjoy the time and enjoy those pants. so cute. btw, did you hear we had an earthquake out here on the east coast? πŸ™‚

Cyndi Hamilton - Great sermon! We are talking about something similar in our church.
Looks like you are going to have an amazing time in Utah.
I agree about the piano. My son and daughter both play. My five year old is starting this fall. Music is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your child. I can’t play a note…lol
I am so excited for the craft weekend, I can’t wait to meet everyone!!
Thanks for sharing,
Cyndi

lauren@somethingreal - i just bought vintage WWII sailor pants and they are high waist AND have laces to let out just in case you eat too much. i love. πŸ™‚ and francis is always good for introducing you to the God that then proceeds to blow your mind. dangerous. πŸ™‚

Alisha - I lived in Utah for 4 years. It’s an AMAZING place to live. The weather is always mind blowing and the mountains breathe taking. I don’t think I ever got used to waking up and seeing them everywhere I went. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that place and want to go back with my family so bad. My husband’s never been and I know they’d all love it.
Have fun while you’re there. Take a hike or two if you get the time. It’s unbelievable how close you can feel to God up in those majestic mountains!

Wendy - Oh sweet child of mine!!! No, it’s not bad .. it’s an awesome idea! Although my kids have no idea who G&R are and when they play the piano … the dogs park!

Valerie @ Chateau A la Mode - Love Frances Chan….he is super amazing. Have an awesome, super fun fantastic time in Utah with your super cute new pants πŸ™‚

Holly - I really like frances chan. And that house is awesome! Have a fun trip!

would you like to win a copy of Matthew Mead's newest magazine? 
of course you would!

FALL is my favorite season so i can't wait to see what is in this magazine!

Autumn magazine is only availible online…not sold in stores.

you can order it  here on their website.

FALLmock cover 

leave a comment to be entered to win your free copy!

 

Joziele - Hello FSRA! I am a Calgary-based professional phgrhotapoer who is doing a shoot for Calgary Co-op in September. I am looking for a 40s/50s era pick-up truck to rent for the day. Know anybody with such a vintage piece that would be interested? Any advise as how to source an old truck would be much appreciated. Thanks, Robert Lemermeyer

Arjen - In order to qualify for diiabslity from SS,you would have had to worked and paid into the system for 10 years. If you didn’t work for that amount of time,you would have to apply for SSI. But,SSI is based on household income. Your husbands income would be used to determine if you would qualify. If his income is over the allowable income,you wouldn’t qualify for SSI.

Samantha - HONESTLY, I thought I was the ONLY one that does that! “i get overwhelmed and have a tendency to crawl back in bed….can’t face it all.”
Really, I do it everytime! And then when it is crunch time and I am slowly melting I promise myself that “I will never do this to myself again, EVER!” But I do. What is wrong with me?!
Thanks for sharing & making me feel so much better about myself! (I’m really not the only one!)

rkokes - fall is SO my favorite season!!! Love it!!!

Kim Leppert Lessey - <3 your hat!

sara @ it's good to be queen - very happy about fall. i would LOVE to win.

Danielle Thompson - I’m craving FALL! It looks like 100* temps are in our upcoming week so I’ll keep dreaming for now.

Jenna - oooh I’d love to win!
Also, we need to get family pictures too…my husband no longer has hair down his back!
Jenna

Helon - I hope kindle never replaces real magazines. It just ain’t the same. Matthew is a genius. And, so are the amazing blogger’s who share their styles and homes with us. I would love to win.
Thanks for the opportunity.

MaryLea @ pink and green mama - I’ve never read a copy but always covet them when they come out! Fall is my favorite season : )
Fingers crossed, would love some new fall decorating and craft ideas!
xoxo
MaryLea

but craig's trombone from high school/jr. high came out of the basement.

while i was cooking dinner.

it was one of those funny unexpected moments in our goofy family.
i even did some cheerleading moves to go with craig's sports songs.
ha ha ha

annie suggested we have a band!
someone on piano….someone on the african drum….lauren on guitar….someone with homemade maracas.
and of course DAD on the trombone.

i am going to get started on our costumes.
 
…………………………………………

this morning while walking/running i listened to a nora jones duet with dolly parton.

i thought "i wonder if anyone has ever listened to dolly parton
while running before? maybe i'm the first"  :)

then U2's song Yahweh came on….do you know that song?


it's….it's….just awesome.
i almost shouted out "YAHWEEEEEH!" but i didn't want to scare
the ducks on the walking path. 

and i had a flash memory of my grandpa when there was a slight tiny scent of lake water….aren't those the craziest memories?
a memory from when you were 5…30 years later…while running?
it made me miss him. 

then my iPod battery died.
and i had to listen to my breathing…sounding like i am about to pass out….i prefer dolly parton.

  these are SOME of our sponsors for craft weekend.
    come check it out on the craft weekend blog. 

 


Samantha - Your kids are so adorable!

Courtney Walsh - This is so funny. Adam has a euphonium (sp?) and a trombone and we’ve had similar moments of sheer LOUD horn-blowing bliss in the house. Needless to say, I’ve stashed them both in the garage for now! lol
πŸ™‚ Catching up on your blog this morning…you’re so busy!! I hope craft weekend goes well!!!

Carrie K - haahaa…that first picture cracked me up! my first thought…”meg married a band geek!” πŸ™‚ hes a pretty cute geek though so i dont blame you πŸ™‚ i can just IMAGINE the noise in your house…in a happy way πŸ™‚

Valerie @ Chateau A la Mode - I love your family band idea…hey the Partridge Family did it!!

Doris - I have every day at least 1 thing from more than 20 years ago that just comes back to me, some detail. and I think of my grandpa every day, and how I miss him. so I understand this completely.
great family fun πŸ™‚
and song is nice.

janet @ ordinary mom - I had a STRONG reaction to a childhood memory when ironing my polyester sheers. Seriously! Warm polyester will throw you right back into the 70s. Wow!

Kelly - the music teacher in me just loves this post! My sixteen month old will already bring our African drum to one of us and then when he’s satisfied we’ll play with him he goes to the other drums to begin playing. Maybe we’ll have to get out my husband’s trumpet too. Was Waffle scared with all that loud noise? Kelly

Jodi - Thanks for sharing the U2 “Yahweh” song…I had never heard it before and loved it! I can just imagine you running and trying to hold in the “Yahweeeeeh!” part…that would have been so hard! πŸ™‚ I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now, and you are an inpiration to me! Thanks being REAL.

steph - way TOO funny!
i have some norah on some of my running playlists too.
and that duet, “creepin’ in”, i’m guessing that’s the one you listened to,
is such a toe tapper…
it’s perfect for a run! πŸ˜‰
glad we have the same strange taste in running music.
there are many times when i’m tempted to start singing out loud too…
“i bless the RAINS down in AFFFFFRRRRICAAAAA!”
ha ha!
i love toto!

becky - Hi Meg! This is totally unrelated to your sweet family post… but my husband just sent me this video and i was tremendously blessed by it. Thought you’d love it too! It’s good to run to! http://youtu.be/CAVgGok5m-U

Lisa - My hubs played the trombone in middle and high school and my 12-year old has been playing it for the past 3 years. They play together sometimes – good family fun! πŸ™‚

Ranee - the trombone photos are hilarious. your craft weekend looks amazing..if only i had a free weekend to spend! I’m sure whoever comes is going to love it.

Mathildasgarden.blogspot.com - Oh man, I run to the strangest assortment of music. And it’s where I have my best thinking and the memories flood–must be the adrenaline. I use the term “run” loosely!!! In fact, I’m laced up and ready to roll, but procrastinating at the computer as we speak!

Karen Gerstenberger - I’d never heard this song before – thank you for sharing. Love it.

Janie Fox - I played the clarinet and cheered. You should really start a band.It is a good excuse to get a rocking multi-colored bus. Doesn’t that Partridge Family bus look like something you would have?! Hells yeah!

Julie - When I saw U2 this summer, I had to walk through a group of picketers holding signs warning us about the “satanic” rock concert we were about to enter. Has that ever happened to you? Clearly, they had to be unfamiliar with the band.
Thank you for posting this beautiful song.

Amy - My 11 year old daughter started playing trombone last year and yeah…it’s pretty rockin! Very loud in the kitchen. Or the living room. Or outside. Or at 7 a.m. when you’re trying to sleep!
And I thought I might be crazy because sometimes I listen to Veggie Tales while I walk/run. You make me feel slightly better about myself. πŸ˜‰

Laine Chambers - This made me laugh because this has happened in our family! My husband began playing the trombone in junior high and has kept it up all these years. I play the piano and we do duets. Good times. Our kids declare that we should have an “orchestra”…one on the trombone, one on the piano, one on the guitar and one on the violin. Can’t imagine how loud that would be!!

nicki - I’ve TOTALLY listend to that Norah/Dolly song while running! “Creep On In”?

Jenn - I really enjoy reading about your family with your “big kids!” Our family is still young and I SO very often wish and hope for my kids to NOT grow up! You and your family are giving me a little glimpse of the future and I think it looks pretty FUN! Thank you!!!

happygirl - My husband’s nephew played When the Saints Go Marching In for his mom’s memorial service. It was wonderful.

Sarai - Looks like you guys had alot of fun! I love goofy silly family time like this!
By the way I love all the colors and open-ness in your house

Jennifer - Love this post…you guys are too cute!

Jennifer - FYI, you are so NOT the first person to listen to Dolly Parton while working out. Have you heard her Christmas songs? They are always on my workout playlists around the holidays. I’m not gonna lie, one or two of Dolly’s Christmas songs sneak in the rotation during other times of the year. How embarrassing for me.

Kerry - aah man, how fun!! I would love to be able to play a HUGE instrument like that. Off on my first run EVER tomorrow… wish me luck, I will take Dolly with me πŸ™‚ xx

Tina I - I, too, have “Creepin’ In” on my running playlist. Does that make you feel better?;-)

Jemm - That’s cute. My oldest daughter plays trombone. I remember how funny it was when she discovered she could make “tooting” noises with it. Fun times πŸ˜‰ I played trumpet. I loved it. I still miss it. I have a secret talent of being able to look at people and guess what instrument they played in high school. I’m getting a strong vibe from you though. Were you in band? I’m guessing maybe piano or clarinet.

Kasey @ Little Brick House - Oh that looks like so much fun!
Oh man I can’t imagine running to Dolly. I need the likes of Lady gaga to keep my feet going LOL!

Brook @BeingBrook - So funny! We’ve had a trombone and a french horn player at our house. SO LOUD! Looks fun. I love music when I’m running, distracts me from the fact that I may die or pass out any second.

Ali - Oh my goodness. I played the trombone in high school….marching band, pep band and jazz band. I loved being the only girl on the trombone. It was pretty amazing. Unfortunately I sold my trombone so I can’t relive the memories. That’s hilarious that Craig remembered several songs. I don’t think I could. I bet your kids’ lips were all numb and swollen afterwards.

Jennifer O'Steen - it’s so good to see he is joining band! i was in the band for 9 years, and i loved every second of it! i met some of the best people in my life through band.

se7en - That’s brilliant!!! How fun!!! We are building a band one kid at a time: So far I have a trumpeter a saxophonist and a violinist… with five kids waiting in the wings… I think it is going to be so cool a couple of years from now.

Lisa - What a great moment in your kitchen…..the stuff that a good life is made of!
Thanks for posting this U2 song, I was just thinking I needed some new songs for my pathetic attempts at running and this one is awesome. Don’t know how I haven’t heard it before.

Jana - That is cracking me up! We just did the same thing at our house! Except I sent them outside! I had the trombone out to take pics from Craiglist and they started playing it and laughing hysterically! Good times. πŸ™‚

sue - Can we see pics of your basement ?

Jennifer - If he decides to play the drums, I know a great private lessons teacher!!! πŸ˜‰
Band is so great! Have fun!

kat - Okay, that’s hilarious. I know y’all were laughing your heads off.L Love it. I so wish I was coming to the craft weekend!!! Those are some very lucky ladies indeed!!! Can’t wait to see the family uniforms.

Holly - I can’t imagine the amount of spit that came out of that thing when they were done! What a fun night! I think I have a kazoo somewhere, I must go look for it right now.

Terrie - We did the same thing at our house (a few years ago…ahem) when my son was going into band. Randy played the trumpet and french horn…so those came out of the basement! Hi-lar-i-ous!! I can’t decide if I’m happy that you didn’t have sound or not… πŸ™‚

Sarah Wolfe - These photos are so very fun. Love impromptu family fun!

Crystal - You should read “Olivia Forms a Band” by Ian Falconer (kids book). She attempts to get her family to make a band. Olivia cracks me up. She’s a crazy character. My daughter loves the Oliva books!

Flower Patch Farmgirl - I have always admired the noble trombonists. HOW do they know exactly where to stop that slide thingy? It’s different than pushing the right button. It’s gotta be.

Seriously Sassy Mama - I love Dolly Parton. Personally, I have to walk/run to music like Beyonce, and Maroon 5 to get me going. I played oboe in school, and was a cheerleader.

Rachel - I’ve never played a trombone in my kitchen, but I have a French Horn that I played in the living room…it literally scared the poop out of one of the dogs and then the other one started barking. Needless to say, I put the horn away.
My daughter and I love Dolly Parton! She knows all the words to “Jolene”; I just know the chorus πŸ˜‰

blu - love that song. we sing it in church. love u2!! and aren’t you so grateful for the random silly moments? especially right before dinner? me too πŸ™‚

Taryn - So i had no idea Craig played the trombone…..i’m guessing he was sitting somewhere close to Vaughn because we have played out this exact same scene at our house! (without me doing the cheerleading moves:)…although i can see myself trying that out now! ) At least they both had something in their mouths so they couldn’t make up alternative words to the songs they were playing like they did in SNC! Ha! Love ya!

Dina - Ok…Sean should most definitely play trombone in the school band. I taught band before I had babies and looking at his embouchure (mouth placement:-) and the way he holds the slide…pretty sure he would do GREAT! The trombonists get all the chicks, ain’t that right, Craig;-) Loved this post!
