Elise had her kindergarten program, in which she had solo parts playing a drum and dancing as a robot and an elephant. Not all in the same routine, although, I'd buy a ticket to see that!
McKenzie had her class play, The Bremen Town Musicians, in which she played the dog, one of the starring roles with a singing solo and everything. She also had her second piano recital. Her piece was Taco Rock (her teacher is big on the classics) and rock it she did. She rocked it so hard in fact, that she performed it again for her school's talent show the next week.
Tyler performed The Melted Ice Cream Blues at the same piano recital (his third) and had his second band concert just last night. He's been enjoying learning the clarinet this year, but after last night's concert, I'm not entirely certain the same could be said for the other kids in his beginning band class and their instruments. Wink.
Sydney has yet to make her offical stage debut, but she has been working hard at home practicing the fine art of tantrum throwing. She's really starting to come into her own on this one. Lucky for her (and us) that she's still for the most part her sweet and adorable self. Who could resist this face?
The kids are all counting down the days left of school (four for Elise, five for everyone else) and looking forward to our summer plans, including our now annual 4th of July trek to Utah to visit the rest of the Sumsion clan, a weekend trip in late July to Portland to visit their zoo and science center (we have year passes to our local ones that are good in Portland as well) and my sister and her family, and a weeklong trip in August to Seaside, OR, one of our family's favorite vacation destinations.
Looking forward to seeing all of you that we'll be seeing!
What kind of summer plans do you have?

Cuteness! I hope McKenzie will honor us with a special performance of "Taco Rock" when you all come to visit.
