Woodchucks - Kim's Nemesis!

So, there is a small and big woodchuck eating all of Kim's flowers, bulbs, and whatever other nice looking things are in our yard. Really, they eat the tops (yummy parts) off of everything and leave the rest.

The woodchuck was just in the yard. Hailey went out with a hammer to throw at it. He ran under the Mustang for protection.

I'm not sure what Hailey would have done if he came back out.

2011 Mt. Ararat Graduation

The Chamber Singers had 17 graduating seniors and were asked to sing Clear Blue Morning. The group was fantastic and Hailey's solo was a beautiful end to her high school choral performances.

Hailey received the Eagle Award.

Hailey received the Excellence in Choral Music Award

'Nuff said!

2011 Topsham Memorial Day Parade

Hailey was asked to sing the National Anthem and play Taps for the ceremony at the town complex and at the Frank Woods Bridge wreath ceremony.

At the beginning of the year, Eli was asked to help out the percussion section as a bass drummer. He fits right in.


In Wind Ensemble he plays the bassoon. Not much need for one of those in the band.

Hailey at the Variety Show

Hailey sang at the Mt. Ararat Variety Show as well, performing Rainbow Connection. And, with Kermit the Frog as a special guest star.

Four Times as Good (With the Force?)

Eli's quartet sang at the Mount Ararat Variety Show. They sang the John Williams Tribute. (An explanation is in the video). The song was originally performed by MooseButter, a Youtube sensation.
