Aladdin Play

Last night was Cydney's school musical of Aladdin! As I mentioned earlier in the year, Cydney played the lead role of Jasmine. She did an exceptional job, and we are SO proud of her! She worked really hard and her hard work paid off! Her and Jacob- who played Aladdin were cast perfectly for each other and they were just too cute! I took a lot of pictures in my excitement which you can check out below as well as a couple YouTube video's of her solo's! Thank you to the 32 friends and family members that took time out of their busy schedules to come and support Cydney! I am quite sure this was the most well attended play the school has had!!

ALL the pictures!

Shameless Brag

Cydney has been in Drama/Choir since First Grade. Every year the school chooses a spring musical for them to perform. The past two have been "Cinderella" and "The Jungle Book". This year the chosen musical is "Aladdin"! Cydney didn't tell us that she was trying out for a part until she had already done it! She was pretty confident in her audition but wasn't getting her hopes up since "main characters" normally go to the older kids and with her being in 3rd grade we just didn't think it likely! Well turns out that she must have WOW'D them because Cydney got the LEAD role of JASMINE!! We've known for a while that she really has a gift of acting/singing from her performances in the church Christmas plays, but this is a really cool step for her! We are so excited for her! I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of the most well attended plays this school has seen!

First Day of School!!

Its that time of Year again! Back to school!!

This year Lilly started Pre-Kindergarten! This is her first school experience... She has been having alot of fun with mommy at home but it was time to get some social experience in a classroom and make some friends and learn lots of fun stuff! She did SOO good on her first day! She didn't even hesitate! She ran right off to put her backpack in her cubby and said "Bye Mommy!" it made me a little sad.... but proud that we are raising such an awesome kid! She goes 2/days/week from 9-2 and seems to be loving it!











Cydney started 2nd grade! Cydney is starting the year out with a semi-permanent substitute teacher, Mrs Graham because her regular teacher is out with an illness. :( From what I understand we don't know if her teacher will be returning after Christmas break or not. However Cydney seems to really like the substitute as do I, So that's good! She is in choir again this year and their big play they will be working on is The Jungle Book!! She is loving school as usual!

Disney's Cinderella Kids

June 11th Cydney had her Cinderella Play at school! She has been working very hard every Tuesday after school for this play for a good portion of the school year. She was determined to try out for the role of "Gus Gus" and sadly she didn't get the part (went to the older kids) she was still cast as a mouse and had a great time! She is quite the little actress and we are looking at getting her into some sort of a children's theatre program! Here are the pictures from the night!
