She's Famous Now

Lily has been practicing for her big line in her 3rd grade spring musical for weeks now.

Last night, right before the show, she said...

"I always knew I was going to be famous some day, I just didn't think it would be this soon!"

She played the part of the Crabby Cabbage Queen and she ROCKED IT.

I may be a bit biased, but I'm pretty sure she's the best thing on stage ever.

Scarlett snuck in a few photos too.

Then we headed to the school early for yet another photo opp and to secure us some front row seats for her big performance!

Her cousin Parker was also in the show, he's the farmer in the back with the carharrt overalls and the super studly posing. 

When it came time for Lily's line she delivered it loud and clear!

Then quickly moved center stage and smiled big till everyone else was finished with their lines.

We are oh so proud of her, and can't wait to see her onstage again!

I think she really enjoyed her first taste of stardom!

Work and Family

 I am a work at home Mom.

I am super lucky to be able to have an amazingly flexible schedule as far as scheduling my photo shoots are concerned.  I really only have to find babysitting during the winter months when the sun goes away forever and we're forced to live in a land with no warmth and no sunsets.

Every other time the ladies stay home with Dad and I don't have to worry!

The other half of my job on the other hand consists of me sitting in front of my computer and editing photos, which admittedly can take up a LOT of time.

I'm pretty blessed with awesome entertainment though.

Depending on the day and time I can have as many as 3 puppeteers weaving sweet plot lines in my office.

 

They come up with some of the best storylines.

The Puppet Show

When Lacey and I were little we used to put on plays at the top of our parents stairs.

It is one of my favorite memories from my childhood.

We forced our Mom and Dad to watch SO MANY dances/plays/poem recitals/etc; that it was only a matter of time before Karma happened.

Lily and Addison put on a puppet show for Paul and I last week!

It was perfect and funny and the girls were so happy to be showing us all their talents and hard work.

Lots of singing, jumping, and spinning!

The talent in this family is abundant!

If not a little off pitch at times.
