Sage and the Band

Sage participated in another band concert.  She has been first chair clarinet with the sixth grade band; however, she and another girl in her class both scored identically on their test, so the band instructor decided to give the other girl a chance to play first chair. 

Sage has learned to play the clarinet fairly quickly.  She has a hard time playing the higher notes, but she's getting there.  We think it might be because she has too much hot air.  Maybe she should have chosen to play the tuba instead.

Sage had a birthday!!!

Can you believe that Sage is 12 yrs old? Holy Cow!! Her mom had some fabulous party ideas, but Sage decided to go downtown Boise for some fun. We went to the Zoo and then to the Idaho History Museum, then we headed out to Aunt Libs to sing and have cake with Sage's little cousin, who turned 3. Here are some pictures.

Sage as a turtle!!

Don't mess with tigers, they are too big!!

Clogging Competition - Nampa

Analise had her first clogging competition today.  Her team name is the "Dazzlers".  She and the other girls did a wonderful job.  Analise is on the far left to begin with.  (This is a large file, so it may take a little while before you see it.)
