While we were in town for the ballet recital, Alex had a violin recital. He loves to play the violin. ( he also plays the piano) He is taking lots of different classes, and spent a week at  music camp. When he came to visit us, he went to Beehive Homes (the assisted living place where my mom lives) and played the violin and the piano for the residents there.

 We drove to Scott's to watch the girls annual dance recitals. It is fun to see the change from year to year. They did a great job, and look so cute in their different outfits. The first night is all the tap, jazz, hip hop, etc, then on Saturday they performed "Sleeping Beauty".

Pine Valley - June 10-12th, 2011

We celebrated Father's Day a week early this year by camping in Pine Valley. We love that the new campground is next to the reservoir. We can see the trailer from our fishing spot. The only problem is, that it is getting a lot more crowded. We love to fish and could stay there all day. The scenery is so beautiful. The lighting changes it every few minutes.

Our New Roof - June 8th 2011

 Unloading the shingles

 Old Gray Roof

 New Vents

 Back of house

 New Shingles!

Well, our 15 year roof actually lasted over 20 years, so we decided it was time to get  new shingles. We went for black this time. We also had them put in 3 twirly air vents to let out the heat. It turned out pretty good. There is one spot that the dye lot is a little off, so they are waiting 90 days and they will come out and see if  they have weathered enough and match the rest, or if they need to replace that section.
