Music at the Mill

We did it!! The concert was June 27th and it was a huge success. All the kids did an awesome job and the bands were a hit too! Sid and I couldn't have been happier with the turn out. We missed some of the students that couldn't make it because of family reunions, camping trips and vacations - but most of his kids were able to be there and we all had a great time.
Sid's family and my mom and Cammie came to help out too. We seriously couldn't have done it without them!
We made the Tooele Transcript and even Fox 13 news! We can't take all the credit though. Much of our crowd and media attention was due to the fact that Kodi and the Chillbodies made it to the concert and played a set. What an amazing person Kodi is. We felt really honored to have him at our concert and to share with all of us his talents.




This is the guitar that Sid built and donated to be raffled off. He did a really great job.



One of his students, Ethan Hunt won the guitar! He was so excited. We were pretty happy that it went to one of the students of the Academy.




Chad Gourley was one of the performers of the night. He was a hit!

Sid and one of his classes. The setting was perfect at Benson Grist Mill. There was an amphitheater where we could all sit and see everyone playing.


"The Untitled" is a band that formed while taking classes from Sid. They did an amazing job!

We needed all the help we could get watching Miss Avery. Between my mom, Cam and Annie, she was well taken care of. She even had a good time!

Kodi was truly an amazing person to meet. We were so happy to have him and to meet his wonderful family.

All in all it was a huge success. We are so thankful to EVERYONE that helped and made it what it was. THANK YOU!!


Aunt Annie





Sid's sister Annie came to town last week and Avery and I got to hang out with her for a few days. We had a really great visit. We went to the Zoo and the highlight for Avery was by far the Carousel that Annie took her on. She LOVED it!
Avery loves Annie, and I think the feeling is mutual!
We love you Annie!!
