Okay, so my kids continue to surprise me with their talents and abilities. As their mother, I figure I get the right to brag them up a little. This last week, Belle performed in the Festival of Trees. She is such a beautiful dancer. She has always loved music, whether she is dancing to it or singing it. In fact, she is just drawn to the arts in general. That kid can draw, paint or create anything from her imagination--(which is no small feat for those of you who know her)! And I can't forget the fact that she and Isaac are becoming quite the little pianists as well.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, Belle and Ike entered a Christmas Art Contest at school. It was for three different school districts, grades K-10. Each school was limited to 100 entries--I couldn't even guess how many entries there were total. And yep, you guessed it! We had a winner! Belle's piece was selected to be displayed in the Springville Art Museum for the month of December (along with the other winners). Last Saturday there was an awards ceremony and each winner received a certificate and a small cash prize. It was so fun to see her picture among all the amazing art work. We are so proud of you Belle! We are so proud of you too Isaac! We can't all be winners every time, and Isaac was so happy for his sister and was very gracious even though his picture was not selected. Maybe next time buddy! Your picture was awesome.
I also thought it would be fun to post Belle's new love........oil painting! She has a little friend in the neighborhood who oil paints and has been giving Belle a few lessons. This is Belle's very first painting, and I have to say it is pretty darn good! (Her little friend did help her with some of the trickier parts-like the shadowing.) She is taking it to school to enter in the Christmas Talent Show. Like I said, talent, talent and more talent! Sure wish I could take credit for some of it, but all this artistic ability comes from her dad. Way to go DAD!
