Singing at the State Capitol Building

The Heralders
The boys sang with this fun home school choir through two performances in the Spring. It was a great experience for them. Emma and Isaiah can't wait to join. We're going to try hip-hop dance, clogging and basketball this fall and hope to join the choir again when the little ones are old enough to be a part of it. Aren't they cute in their red and white? (Damian's in white on the front row, middle. Gehrig's in white on the 2nd row and just to the right of Damian--a mistake to have them so close together, I found out the embarrassing way. . .)

Yeah, should I tell you most most embarrassing moment as a mother so far? Well, at least one of them. While the boys were singing, Gehrig kept poking and bugging Damian. Damian finally turned around and started hitting Gehrig. Of course, Gehrig hit back and I was dying in my seat wondering if I should yank them off the stage or what? AARRRGGG!! BOYS!! How in the heck am I supposed to deal with them? Anyway. . . luckily, Miss Debby, the director, was able to get their attention and get them through the performance. Yeah, I tried not to acknowledge them when they were finished. . .just kidding. But really? Would you have claimed them? Luckily, the news reporters that came to cover the event didn't seem to be there at the time.

They had several free activities at the Capitol Building that day that the boys enjoyed. They also had local vendors giving samples of their food products. The boys are holding up buildings they made with gumdrops and toothpicks. Lou and the little ones stayed home from this one, which did make it easier to go to the different booths with the boys.

The Heralder's Children's Choir--Seussical the Musical

In April, the boys joined a home school choir, The Heralder's Children's Choir. They performed a selection of songs from Seussical the Musical on Saturday, the 6th and the following Monday. They are the newest members to the choir and have a lot to learn, but they enjoyed their experience this semester. Damian says he wants to do it again. Gehrig said he wants to do it again too and then said, "Actually, I want to be in a hip-hop group." Hmmm. . .

The building where they met each Friday has a library inside and beautiful grounds outside. Emma & Isaiah and I spent a lot of time in both places while the boys rehearsed. If you look inside the flower, you'll see what Isaiah was so intently watching (bees!).

The Heralder's Choir

Gehrig & Damian just joined a homeschool choir in Salt Lake last month. They had their first performance last Saturday. They performed a selection of patriotic songs. They'll perform again in June from Seussical the Musical (VERY fun music). Aren't they handsome?

They're such cute brothers together.

Emma & Isaiah really want to join too! They have to be 5 before they can join. So. . .they sit on the sidelines and sing along or march along, etc.
