While we were there the owners mom came out. She works there. She saw Isaak looking at the Wimpy kid stuff and came over to talk. When she found out what a huge fan he is and that he has read all the books and is waiting for the next one, she said she wanted to tell him something. He said, what, and she said the the man who writes these books is my son! We were excited! Turns out Kenny's (Greg) older brother Scott (Rodrick) owns the store and his parents help out! They had pre-ordered some of the new books and are having a signing there for the people who ordered those books. So it gets better. The mom was about to be starting a 13 week music class for little kids. We were looking for something for Brett to do and he said he wanted to! Now Wednesday is our music class day. Last week, both the boys had their first class. Isaak goes to a girl in one of the wards here to learn piano and Brett goes to the music store and has his! They love it and we couldn't be happier. Brett is determined to play the drums...oh boy. But for now I am enjoying them both being so happy with their lessons!

Thought I'd post
Since we have been back from the cruise, it has been full speed ahead. Isaak has wanted to take piano lessons for years. So we told him after we got back he could start. We just had to have something for him to practice on at home. And we don't have a lot of money to spend. Well, we thought we were doomed. We had looked on the internet and craigslist and we just didn't find anything good in our price range. There would be a good priced keyboard but wouldn't include the stand. So we were walking through our little town and came across Shamrock Music store. We saw some keyboards in the window and thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. So we went in, also because of all the Wimpy kid merchandise and Isaak was begging. Isaak has read all 4 Wimpy kid books. After going in to this massive little store. What I mean by that is they sell musical instruments, and this one little space is FULL. Somehow, we got to talk to the owner and he found out the price for the keyboard and stand was just over $100 bucks. This keyboard is nice too. I has 50 something keys and it lots of buttons for different things as well. My favorite part is that it really sounds like a piano, not electrical!

Very cool, sounds like you were in the right place at the right time. Oh and my dad has this theory that children that learn music at a young age with excel in school. He said that was one regret he has with raising us was that we didn't learn to read music when we were young.
It was really cool! They both love their classes. They get to go again today! And I think you're pretty smart!
Holdyn is soooo jealous of Isaak's association with Jeff Kinney's family! He's hoping that he can come visit and maybe meet them.
Holdyn can absolutely come and visit! They are just here in town and we can go to the store and meet them! Anytime, tell him we would love to have him. And meeting someone like that,never happened to me!
That is very cool! How neat it worked out so well.
