2011 Graduation

Friday night, my sisters and I were thrilled to have the chance of playing for our homeschool covering's graduation. It was a wonderful chance to play for our church, to see our friends, and learn some more music. Rachel and I are in the back as we played 2nd violin. Erin and Emily had 1st with Timothy. His mom accompanied us on piano!

We really had a great time and got to wear all black. With a long black skirt with a black skirt, we felt like professionals! A fun feeling to have for a night!

Bad Photos, but a Good Time!

We are now getting to play in the orchestra at our church on Sundays!! We are having an unbelievably good time!!! We just played our second Sunday and it was GREAT!!! I love it!!

P.S.

I don't know what ANYBODY was doing in the first picture! Erin is hiding and everyone else is laughing. Who knows?

The Cello Lesson

Third Sister and Baby Brother decided to play cello. Actually Third Sister and I were playing and Baby Brother pulled out Second Sister's Violin. So Third Sister stopped and taught him.

First they pulled it out.

Then they tightened it a "tiny bit".

He tested the rosin.

He didn't know what she was talking about.
"The G Scale???"

He Tuned.

And he played!!!

Baby Brother Loves Cello.


Oldest Sister

Family!!!

Pictured L-R
Honey, Faith, Shar.
We came up with the idea to name our violins so...
Mine is Honey due to the fact that it looks like honey. I think I will rename it though so if you have any suggestions I will be glad to hear them.
Second Sister named hers Faith.
And Oldest Sister hasn't named hers yet.
Oldest Brother named his {And Middle Sister's}Christian{ Chris for short}.

Just Kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding!
Yesterday we bought a violin off of crag's list!
A new member to our violin family.
It is very nice.
The case is brown. It has a lock, space for 2 bows, a very large pocket inside and a large music pocket out side, and a E string case -thank you Bethany!-
The violin has a wooden chin rest, pegs, and tailpiece.
Anyway I've got to get ready for our trip to Land Between The Lakes{It's in Kentucky}.

P.S. I will post more on the violin later I'm just in a rush.
