Well It is Official!!! Katie got the part of 'Molly' in "Annie"!!

We are so excited to announce that Katie got the part of "Molly" in the local high school's musical production of "Annie". Callbacks were Saturday. Katie and two other little girls were at the callbacks for the part of "Molly" the youngest orphan. She did such a wonderful job. I am always amazed when I sit and watch her on stage. She loves every moment and you can see it in the way she shines on stage. I am always in awe of her performing. This will be her 4th production with them. She started performing with the local high school when she was 6 yrs old. In December 2006 she was an orphan and also a party guest in another scene in "A Christmas Carol". In Feb. 2008 she was a young towns girl in "Cinderella" with her wonderful solo line "and me I'm in the second grade" and "I wish I was an older girl". When all the girls are singing about Prince Charming. She was also a guest at the ball and Cinderella's flower girl. Then last year she was a Wildcat Cheerleader in "High School Musical". She is so excited each and every year when it is time to start auditions and practice. When it is over each year, she can't wait until time to start again. Here are a few pics of her previous performances.

Annie Musical callbacks

Well today was the callbacks for "Annie".. Kaitlyn did such a good job. She had a call back for "Molly" the smallest orphan in the musical "Annie".. She did so good!! They officially post the cast list Monday. Then practice starts Wed. afternoon. I wish you could have all seen her she looked so cute, we dressed her up as an orphan. I can't believe I forgot to take her picture. She looked adorable~! But we were rushing around this morning and I forgot to take her picture. I'll have to dress her back up soon and post pics. Well we will keep you posted about the play :)

Not me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



Oh Yeah we both qualify on this one!!

We did NOT spend a good chunk of the night in the late night clinic because I discovered my daughter's earring back was grossly being grown over by her earlobe. I did NOT of course have a terrible headache, because I felt like a horrible mother. Of course I should have noticed this earlier. So of course my child was NOT freaking out crying and screaming when I tried to clean her earlobe and remove the earring myself. Of course I'm a totally calm mother and was NOT wanting to scream and cry myself for feeling like such a horrible mother. But thankfully the doctor was able to remove it and said in a few days it should be healed enough to put in a new pair of earrings. Since I did NOT break that one while I was trying to remove it myself. Of course my daughter was NOT saying over and over "We are not putting another pair of earring in are we??" Of course I did tell my daughter the other week she needed to remove the earrings since she had wore them for quite some time, I asked her to change them. But then she got sick and I forgot all about the earrings. It was so weird I had never seen anything like it before. I mean it's not like they were just pierced. We had them pierced back in April. So why it decided to grow over the back of the earring now I have no idea. So will we ever get another pair of earrings in my sweet child's ears??? hmmm??? Your guess is as good as mine. I'll keep you posted. ;)

A Poem I wrote for my daughter when she was a baby

My Little Miracle

The doctors always said, I a mother would never be.
But the dear Lord said, "My child just leave that up to me."

Then when I was pregnant, carrying my child with glee.
The doctors started to worry, She was not growing as she should be..
But the dear Lord said, "Do not worry my child just leave this to me."

Then in labor once again things got a little out of hand.
Her heart stopped beating and we all got really scared.
But the Lord reached down and got her here safe and sound.

Now I'm proud to say I'm a mom.
My angel is here and growing strong.
And I'm proud to say ,
I thank the Lord for her each and everyday.

For to me a miracle was sent.
I'm now a mom of a child who was Heaven sent.
She's the most precious thing here on earth.
Because she was sent down from God above.
Sent to me to raise and love.

I'm so excited

I just found out that I won the contest on Everyday Becky's Blog for the new Karen Kingsbury book "The Princess and the Three Knights".. I love all of Karen Kingsbury's books. I can't wait to get this book to read to my daughter. She has been sick for almost 2 weeks now. I can't wait to tell her we won the contest, I know it is really going to cheer her up. When I told her about the contest and showed her the book online she said "Mommy I hope we win". I'm just so excited. Thank you again Becky so very, very much. This could not have happened at a better time. This is so super sweet of you to send us this book. I will anxiously be awaiting it's arrival.

Sick Child

My poor little girl has been sick now for a week and three days. I hate when she is sick. It started out with a sore throat and head congestion. I took her to the doctor she was put on zithromax. Three days later when she wasn't any better but getting worse, it had moved into her chest. They put her on Predisone, and I started her breathing treatments back again. Two days later still no improvement. Back to the doctor we go again. This time she is given a shot, we have to continue the predisone and are given a antihistamine, decongestant and cough medicine, and also to continue the breathing treatments. Bless her heart. The medicines are making her feel even more awful she just wants to lay around. I pray she is better soon. I hate to see her sick. Please keep her in your prayers that she will be back to her chipper self soon.
