National Anthem!

Holy Moly can my baby sing!! She was asked to sing the National Anthem for the Varsity Basketball team for her school -Somerset Sky Pointe Academy! This was going to be a challenge because she had never sung this song as a solo piece and was going to be singing a cappella! She has been practicing all month! She was so excited to sing the National Anthem! She got all dressed up and ready to check in with the Athletics Director! He announced her name on the mic...She played her pitch in her ear and away she sang! Rocking it out! Her voice echoing off the mic! The crowd went wild! She nailed it! We were so proud of our girl! Thank you Aunt Bre and her family for coming! She always loves having you guys there! #1 supporters! Love it!

From her first performance Monday Night! 

The school  loved her so much that they asked her to come back and sing again at the final home game of the season and senior night! This time she wore her school colors! :) My sisters and bff Jackie even came to watch! and of course she rocked it out! Her voice echoing off the mic so beautifully! Pitch perfect a cappella! Her confidence just  blows my mind!  Never nervous! Not cocky! Always cool, calm and collective! She has a such special spirit about her! The crowd went wild! What a rush! Hearing my baby sing one of the most powerful songs of all time! Having heard her sing not only was I proud to be an American... I was so proud to be her mom! She lit the stands up with her voice, smile and stage presence! Tears filled up my eyes and I looked over at my sisters so proudly and they had tears in their eyes streaming down their faces! We love you Penny! You make us all so proud!

Busy Saturday!

This past Saturday we had such a busy day for us that we all split and went different ways! Going different directions is very unusual for us! I took my youngest 2 out to the sand dunes for the day to meet up with my brother and his family! Oh and we took little Ruby too! We had so much fun spending the day with them! Ryan held little Ruby all day! lol Cash was non stop on his motorcycle! We played Karma card game! and Ryan fed us well! 

Love spending time at the dunes with my brother and family! Such a great day together! As you can see Ruby was taken care of very well! Ryan absolutely loves her and she was spoiled for sure by him all day! 

Penny went had a double header! 2 basketball games to cheer at! Thankfully her little bff and cousin Emma is on the team so Aunt Bre favorite took her to the games! She got to spend the night at Emma's which never happens cause I don't allow sleepovers at other houses. We can have sleep overs at my house but my kids are not allowed to got to other homes to sleep over! So this was super fun for Penny! I was leaving to the Dunes so early and this was the only way to make sure she was with Bre! Yay! It worked out great! She had a blast cheering and did amazing! Go Eagle Go! Always so proud of you Penny! Bre snapped some great pics of Penny too! Thanks Bre! You're the best!

Give the circumstances Chad still had a wonderful time catching up with all his old mission buddies and seeing Sister Randall!! I'm grateful for Chad's mission and all the people that made such an impact on his life to form and shape the man he is today! Love you Honz!
