How cute they all looked. Congrats to Ally on her solo. Ah, first grade, Avery is also the top of her class-what smart girls we have Outfits are really cute. Have fun at the concert!

What a talented little girl you have! And you, as well! You want to come to South Carolina in August and help me do my bulletin board and mural in the hallway?

The outfit is absolutely adorable! Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh how proud you must have been of Ally's solo. I remember Katie's few singing adventures.

And the outfits your mom made are adorable! I love them!. They also look comfy and practical. Yay Mom!

I hope you're having fun at Hard Rock (?) and the concert tonight! Your trip is coming up so fast!

 

[Bridora]

Congrats to your girls!

That outfit your Mom made is adorable!

This is a busy time of year. I am glad school is almost out!

What is it about kid's choirs that are so darned cute? I can only imagine what Dylan will be like when it is his turn to sing in kids choir. So excited that Ally did so well.

The outfit was adorable. I wish that I could sew like that.... 4 days!!

3 Days!!!!​

Congrats to Ally on the solo! I know exactly how you feel when you say she amazes you. My 15 year old sings in A Capella choir and musicals at school and it never ceases to amaze me how brave and talented he is!

I LOVE the outfit! That fabric is just adorable. Can your mom make one appropriate for a 40 year old woman?

I saw the Star Wars pics on FB. It looks like you guys had a great time! Brent looks so exctied!

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS!! That deserves a few dancing bananas!

Congrats to Ally on her solo! She looks like she loves being on stage.

Those outfits are so darn cute! Your mom is very talented and the material she found is perfect.

Just think in 3 days you will be at the most magical place on earth!!!!:

WTG, Ally! That's really impressive. I can imagine that you were about to explode with pride!

I love the outfits your mom made! Do you mind to post where she found her fabrics?

You did a great job on the decorations for the kindergarten program! I just love those flowers. Super cute!

I have to admit, I have absolutely no idea what a Star Wars concert is. I'm very interested in your review of it!

Uggh!! Are you serious?! Where did you read that?! That stinks!! I wonder how that will effect the CP packages?! Hmmm . . . Yes, a backup plan is always good!!

Here's a link to the article. Apparently it's only a strong rumor at this point, but like I said, I'm not surprised by it. I'm sure it's true. The only thing that makes me think that it might not happen is that Le Cellier is so close to Bistro de Paris, which is another Signature Dining location. They might not want two in such close proximity to each other. That's the only roadblock I can really see.

Hi Becky,
This time of year is so crazy isn't it? So much going on with the end of the school year. Ally looks like she had a blast on field day. on her being the top reader in her class. I'm not at all surprised though . Congrats on her first solo in the church choir program. She is very brave. Also I love the outfits your mom made the girls! I think your ADR's for December look great. I'm going to be brave and try Garden Grill for dinner in June we haven't been back since 2003 because the food wasn't the best. But Thomas wants to eat with Chip & Dale. Just 4 more days I hope you guys have a safe and wonderful time in Disney!

It sure is!! We have been sooo busy that I've hardly been able to think about our trip! My TA told me that she liked the GG--so we'll see.

Love the choir pics. Madison has a concert next Wed and she has a solo too! I can't wait to hear her. The outfit your mom made the girls is awesome! I love that fabric!!! Have fun at the Star Wars concert tonight. I'm a fan of the movies (but not a fanatic), but I adore John Williams music. That should be a great concert.

Thank you! YAY for Madison's solo!! That's awesome!! The concert was great!!

 

[ladybugmom]

You must be one proud momma right now! Reader award AND excellent solo!! Go Ally! I've also sang/performed in musicals my whole life and have butterflies the entire time-- for a 5 year old to have such composure is incredible!!
Love the outfit, too-- is Claire's going to be the same??

I am!! Yes, Claire will have the same outfit!!

WOW! Your Mom is SOOOO talented I absoluely love what she did! Does she make adult sizes?

Have a great time at the concert!! I know Brent must be beyond excited.

Congrats to Ally for all of her success Can't wait to see what you pack

Thank you!! She does a great job!! We had a wonderful time at the concert--did you see the pics on FB?! I'll post pics of that and my packing in a bit!!

Ally looks so pretty up in front of church singing! The outfit your mom made the girls is so cute! :

I hope you have a great time tonight!

Thank you!! We had a GREAT time!!

Wow Becky - you must have been so proud of Ally! What an amazing thing not to be nervous at her age! I would have gone to pieces if that was Amber!! I would have been an emotional wreck!

I'm loving the outfit that your Mum made! You are one talented family!!

Can't believe you will be at Disney in a few days!

We are like you now - we have booked next years trip (before we've had this years!) so I'm planning 2 trips - keep trying to put next years out of my mind as I want to really enjoy this years! Be nice though as when we come home I won't be as sad as I usually am as I know we are already booked to go back.

I keep telling Jonathan and Amber how lucky we are!!!

If I don't get another chance to say - I hope you all have an absolutely fantastic time! I will keep everything crossed for no rain and I can't wait to start reading your TR!!

Sara xx

I know!! I'm very proud of her!! That's great that you have another trip booked!! Whoo hoo!!!

 

[ladybugmom]

YAY for Ally---her choir solo and top reader in her class! I was reading your update, looking at those pictures of her singing, compared to last year's trip pics, and thought how much she's grown this year.

Hope you and Brent have fun at the concert.

Thank you!! I know--she has grown up sooo much!! Where does the time go?! We had a great time at the concert! Update coming soon!

Very cute outfit. I know the performance was good. Maybe somebody can help you put her song on here somehow. Not me, though, because I don't know how to do the video.

I looked at that group of children singing and just thought 'They are precious in His sight'. How very sweet they all look!

The awards stage looks nice. I know it has been an exciting year. And now you have an exciting trip to top it off!

Thank you!! It was precious!! I love hearing children singing praises to the Lord!!

How cute they all looked. Congrats to Ally on her solo. Ah, first grade, Avery is also the top of her class-what smart girls we have Outfits are really cute. Have fun at the concert!

Thank you!! WTG Avery!! I know you are very proud of her!!
