Life is Better

Life is better when you have good tunes to listen to. I love, love, love music. It runs in the family. My family is musical. My family could have been more musical had we all kept up with our instruments we were learning as kids. Don't get me wrong, a couple of my brother's still play and my youngest brother, Jay, is at BYU on a drum scholarship and is majoring in music.
My sister, Melinda, can play the piano quite well still. Robyn can sing until no end, really, she does that. Hahahaha! I miss it and the whistling too.
I guess I'm talking about me. I learned to play the piano as a kid and probably could have been really good. I then learned the violin and played up through high school, but alas, I quit that too.
I thought soccer was a better route. Silly me!
My Dad played the saxophone and clarinet and my Mom, of course is a piano whiz. She is amazingly talented with music. She is even writing songs now and might be publishing some of them soon....... My parents used to have a band and they would go play for different parties and wedding receptions.
Me? I love to play my stereo, and really loud too.
I love the feelings music give me. I love how music creates memories and brings back memories.
I have said before that Jamiroquai is my favorite music group. They still are. I love them. I love their funky sound and I love that they use real instruments instead of electronic randomness on a keyboard for the whole band.
I love to bounce to Hip-Hop, but only certain Hip-Hop.
I enjoy Q-Tip, yes that is his rap name. Q-Tip sometimes does not use the best language in his music, but I really like his style and sometimes I can find the "CLEAN" version of his songs.
I posted a video of him featuring Norah Jones. Random duo, I know. But I like it.
Enjoy!






Now, go listen to your own tunes while I enjoy mine:)

October=Pumpkins and Stuff

It is October!  Last week the kids and I went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point with my friend Lori and her two girls.

We had a lot of fun.  There were many things for the kids to do, which is why I wonder why they charge adults to come in and watch.  
Here are some pics of our day.

Pumpkin Pyramid

Brothers.

Huge bounce pillows for jumping.

Huge rocking chair.  Breck with Naomi and Leilani.

Really cool bikes to ride.  I did ride those!

Huge monster thingy to walk through.  Apparently at night they add freaky looking people to scare you.

The boys fighting the monster's uvula.(sp?)

Me in the Cinderella carraige.  

Princess Breck.  They had an area for little girls to play and dress up and ride on the carraige.  It was a very pink place to be that day:)
