American Idol in our future????

Our little girl sings ALL THE TIME...and I really do mean all the time. She LOVES to sing! And, coupled with singing, she is super duper DRAMATIC! I definitely think we have an entertainer on our hands. She loves to make up songs all day long about whatever task she is doing, or if she hears a someone speak a word from the lyrics of one of her favorite songs...it will trigger her to begin singing that song immediately. On the flight back home to Texas, she even serenaded the 'lucky' passengers around her with The My Little Pony song for the entire 5 hour flight.

I have been collecting these videos of her singing for the last several months & I am finally ready to compile them into one blog post. These videos are of her singing all her absolute favorite songs...the ones that we have heard over & over & over again. Did I mention that she sings these songs repeatedly???? :-)

Derek & I watch American Idol, and last season Adam Lambert was on the show. And he is quite the entertainer. At one point, his mom gave an interview about him as a child. She said something along the lines of how unbelievably loud he was a child...that he would just scream for the sake of screaming when he was a toddler...then the screaming turned into loud singing...and, the loud singing never stopped! At this point in the interview, Derek & I looked at each other with wide eyes and started cracking up laughing. Adam Lambert's Mom had just described our baby girl exactly! So, who knows what is in store for our little entertainer in the future.

Singing Jingle Bells at Christmas time:

Singing a song from Little Mermaid: (Sorry you have to listen to me sing on this one too! She is reenacting the movie on the stairs though...the scene where Ariel is perched on the rocks singing to Prince Eric...too cute!)

Singing Bear Necessities from The Jungle Book:

Singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star & I'm wishing from Snow White:

And, lastly...here is the song she sings the most...a song from her My little Pony movie. I almost didn't post this video because the quality is HORRIBLE. The video is so dark that you can hardly see her, but you can definitely still HEAR her! So, I posted it anyway since it is her favorite song.

I hope you all have enjoyed The Andi-Palooza!

Kemah Fun

The VERY first thing Dawson wanted to do when we moved back to Texas, was spend the day at Kemah. So, we flew into town from MN & the very next day we took the boy to ride rides at the carnival. He is such a little dare-devil & will ride everything he is tall enough for! I'm sure we will be back many times this summer.

The boys waiting in line

Riding the wagon wheel...they are CRAZY!

Some more funny shots riding the wagon wheel...


And, this is why I LOVE my husband...oh yeah, he is riding in the tiny airplanes!

We ate dinner on the patio of Landrys & this was our gorgeous sunset view

Dawson & his Hettie

And, here he is with all his Kemah loot: a light up sword & his new Scooby that he named 'Scooby Dooby Blue.'
