Miss Springville/Mapelton Competition

Last night Natalie participated in Miss Springville/Mapleton. She did it in hopes of getting some scholarship money. She did not win, but did fabulous. She worked so hard preparing for this and did amazing and looked beautiful. She has natural stage presence and poise. For her talent she did a monologue called "Roller coaster break-up". It was a funny piece about a southern girl breaking up with her boyfriend while riding a roller coaster. She is natural performer and really shined. We were so proud of her!!!!

Caroline's singing I'm Not At All in Love from Pajama Game

Caroline's choir did a Love on Broadway Show at her junior high which consisted of a variety of love songs. Caroline was chosen to sing a solo in one of the songs. We were blown away with her stage presence, voice and confidence. I think we have discovered another talent Caroline has. We are proud of you Caroline--way to go!! This video is has the first part of the song from the first night and the second part of the song from the second. (she did her hair different for each night).

For some reason I could not download it to my blog, but you can watch it here.

Romantic Dinner for Two

For our Christmas gift this year the children gave us a coupon for a homemade dinner and a night on the town. This is a picture of the beautiful food they prepared. It was as delicious as it looks. They then treated us to the movies. We went to see Sherlock Holmes and when we came home the kitchen was immaculate!!! It was such a thoughtful sweet gift. I must admit my kids are great!!!

YEAH!!! I am BACK!!!

I finally figured out what I changed the password to for this blog--ha ha. The email I have connected to this blog, I can't access for some reason. But, I finally cracked my password code(I always think I will remember them)--its going to be a great year!!
