A couple of weeks ago I came across this concert report that Garrett had written about Abby's violin recital. For his band class he had to attend a concert then write a one page report on it. He was supposed to turn in the program with the report to prove that he was there but since we couldn't find a program we printed out the pictures of Abby and of the boys watching. I'm not sure why Glenn took a picture of the boys but it was lucky that he did. It is also lucky that Garrett has a great band teacher, I hope she was laughing. Here is the report. I have to re-type it because he did it at school but everything like punctuation, italics etc. is exactly how he wrote it:
My Concert Report
For my concert report, I went to my sister's violin recital. It was phenomenal. There were long songs, short songs, loud songs, and quiet songs. It was only an hour, which was not to long, but not to short, and didn't put the audience to sleep (even though I slept on the way home). There were a lot of people making it hard to hear, and they didn't have a microphone (again making it hard to hear).
Everyone did a good job, even though the room echoed. It was at the American Fork library (maybe that's why the room wasn't the best). But the music rocked my socks. Another good idea is to ask for cell phones, pagers, and children to be turned off because you heard one of those every minute. It is still very vivid hearing those go off that much. When I was sitting listening, I thought, "Who doesn't like the violin?" Well, I can tell you that if you don't, you're cold hearted. Which also got me thinking, "Why don't we have an orchestra?" then I remembered we have a guitar class! That's better than an orchestra!
My sister had to perform first. She did great. I have noticed one thing with performances though. When you hear a sibling play, you kind of don't pay attention. That's only because you hear it over and over at home. But when you hear someone else, you get excited because you get to hear something different. Well, that's all I got.
Our words for today
Phenomenal: remarkable, especially if remarkably and impressively good or great
Vivid: strikingly bright intense in color

I just love the "Glen & Wendy Taylor Family's" sense of humor. Your kids say the funniest things. Come to think of it so does Glen (from sitting in a few ward council & BYC meetings). Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas.
Glad to see you're feeling good enough to sit at the computer and update the blog! That seems like progress. See ya soon. :)
oh man, Garrett's story is so hilarious! Isn't it cool having kids that are funny? If Amanda was boring, I'd probably have to give her to another family. JK. I hope you guys had a great Christmas & New Year!
I didn't know Abbey was taking Violin. Who is her teacher? We have many string players in the Ward. They should all perform together some time.
Just have to tell you again how much I appreciated your thoughts today. It was great. You aided in my worship. Thanks.
It was good to see you guys yesterday!
