A nice quiet Saturday...........













It is that time of year, where I have to buckle down and do some serious bookkeeping so we can get our taxes done. I don't like this time of year at all but am grateful that I have that deadline to actually catch everything up once a year. Today my family is of playing while I am working so I will post some photos from last October when Autumn and Phil were home. Notice that we even get the son-in-law in the act of making Sunday dinner. Than there is the male bonding time on the couch in 2009. Don't forget, Chantel pretending she is Hannah Montana, so Beau had to join her as a backup singer.
Next Tuesday my youngest and oldest children, will have their birthdays and will be 6 and 27 respectively. This will be the first time in a long time that we have not ate cake for both of them at the same time. Happy Birthday, Kent and we are sorry we don't get to celebrate with you this year! We have a lot of other things going on on Tuesday so we celebrated Chantel's birthday on Thursday night with one set of grandparents. We will probably have another small celebration next Wed. so the birthday will last longer. If this allows me to I will post a video of Dale's chorus singing at the funeral of the wife of one of his barbershop friends. The quality of the video is not so good as I was in the back of the room and it was my little camera but the sound wasn't bad considering it was in a sound deadening funeral chapel. The hubby who is a very good friend of Dale's, sang with the chorus, and I think it was a really good release for him.

Christmas Sing-outs!

This a busy time for us with Christmas shipping, sports and barbershop sing-outs. Monday, Dale and the boys had their first sing-out at the large veterans complex in King. They had four stops and to see the joy on the faces of the men and women that served our country in their youth was so precious. At the first stop there was some side entertainment as a bat was in the building and dive bombing some of the singers as they entertained the residents. (See video) The people at the home insisted that was the first time they ever had a bat there. At the second stop, when the group sang Silent Night there was a lady who just wept. Summer noticed that and guess who got emotional at the next stop, when they sang Silent Night. I looked down and there is Summer just sobbing. She managed to pull herself together enough to enjoy to pizza buffet that came later.

55th Harvest of Harmony Concert

This weekend was the weekend for Dale's annual barbershop concerts. Our Saturday was huge as we got up early, and cut in a larger window for our living room. We got it in, but not finished, before leaving for the concerts at 12:30 pm. We didn't have time to finish the window so I will post a pic or two when that is complete.
The concerts were great and had a nice turnout. Everyone was impressed, considering that the new director took over the beginning of April. The district competion is in Appleton in 3 weeks so I will probably upload to competion songs after that.

Awesome weekend

Dale had his Northern Gateway Chorus shows this weekend. It was a very busy time with two concerts on Saturday. We took all the kids to the afternoon show and then I worked at selling tickets for the last show. We had a great time. I will try to post a video on here. That will be a new experience for me. If you watch the video, Dale is on the far right end. We had extra people here all weekend also so it felt good to have an early night. 10:00 PM Huh!
