All my Kids are VIP's...

Last but not least, before I head to bed, here is a book that I recently published to let my daughter Arielle know that she is a Very Important Person. I can't wait until it arrives! (Should be anyday!)


Aunt Brag Time!

I guess it can also be Sister brag time along with Aunt brag time cuz I'm about to post a video of my cute little 2 year old (yes, she is really 2) dancing to my talented brother's 2nd release on country radio, "The Bible and the Belt!" (www.duewestmusic.com--check them out!) We had a CD release party at the park here in St. George. We served cake to innocent park-goers and blasted the music! I am not ashamed of it! We created new Due West lovers who even purchased a CD or two! But anyways, my mom and two of my sisters and I had planned to make up the "official line dance" for the song (with all of our talent...we hoped Dani would make it up and we would just follow) but in the end it seems that cute little Graeci stole the show! (give her a minute to get warmed up...)

Mom Brag Time!

I always ALWAYS have loved baseball! It reminds me of home, sitting with the family, watching the Atlanta Braves on TV; watching my dad or my brothers play--oh and my cute little sisters (we won't mention the time I "played"). If we took any family vacations, it was to watch the Braves play someone (usually the Padres since their field was closest to us) So can you see why happiness comes from baseball? :) So anyway, Karter just started playing and he is doing so well! I am loving watching him! Here is a cute little video of his awesome batting skills:



It's not a secret that I also love music--in all shapes and sizes--especially when my kids are the music makers. Here is a video of the Diamond Talent Musical Theater Showcase. Diamond Talent is the most amazing place for teaching kids to bring out the music--I feel so blessed to have them in our town! So, this was the final number--taken from my phone, so forgive the poor filmage--but it is soooo sooo powerful! And I am a proud mom, so...here goes! OH--first I must say that the song comes from the musical "13" and the girl in the purple who sings with the bigger guy in the black...that's my oldest, Mekenze...



I have two other chitlins of whom I am equally proud but I have not taken recent video footage of them. You can scroll and see a few (I think--at least photos). Enjoy!
