Noelle couldn’t wait to get to school this special night to show us her “line monster!”  She and Brianna were all smiles and ready to go!

 

Noelle got a speaking part this year, yay!  To say that she was excited is and understatement!  She has been wanting a speaking part ever since her kindergarten musical, and two years is a long time to wait for a little one.  Her music teacher said whoever smiles, participates, and listens every day will get a speaking part.  She is always on her best behavior anyway, but she was super motivated to work her hardest to show that she really really wanted a speaking part this year!  The musical was called “Go Fish!”  Noelle was a sea horse, so she was asked to wear cowgirl attire for her speaking part (get it, sea horse).  Lol!  So cute! 

There were lots of different types of sea creatures who had speaking parts.  They all had personality plus and did a super great job!

 

Noelle was in her element in this picture with Hannah and smiling with her friend Nyla (the angel fish) in the right picture after the show.

 

Their ending number was so cute!  Hopefully Mike will put a couple of videos up for you to see tomorrow. 

 

Noelle and Jake got to be sea horses together tonight!  Jake is Noelle’s only friend that has been in her class with her every year since kindergarten.  They are the sweetest little buddies!

 

Anna Kate, Emily, Noelle and Brianna had so much fun tonight!  Awesome girls!  Noelle’s mentor and friend, Mrs. Arnold, brought her “Good Luck!” balloons tonight before the show.  She was on Cloud 9; Thank you, sis!  Noelle absolutely loves to perform and have an audience, so tonight was a total blast for her.  It’s so great seeing her confidence grow and watching her totally have fun doing things that she genuinely loves!  Where I used to enjoy performing but would be a nervous wreck, she is so giddy and happy-go-lucky.  I’m not sure what Noelle will enjoy doing most in life, but so far, the arts are definitely at the top of her list! 

We are so proud of you, Bella!  We love your winning spirit and lovable attitude for others and life.  Your enthusiasm tonight was precious!  You make us smile every day and are growing into such a lovely little lady.  Thank you for being so sweet, kind, and thoughtful in everything that you do.  It means the world to us!  We love you baby girl, Mommy and Dada

We were so honored and blessed to witness Victoria and Andrew’s big day on November 9, 2013!

 

Rara came into town to celebrate Victoria’s wedding day with us!  Rose was a very sick baby, so Mike had to stay home with her.  She is much better now!

Victoria’s daddy is the best floral artist in the world.  His creativity knows no bounds!  This was the entryway into the beautiful fall sanctuary of yellows and greens.

 

After the sweetest ceremony, so unique and special to the bride and groom, it was party time!

Victoria was cracking us up, as usual!

 

Watching the first dance, and Anna Kate cuddling with Aunt Sharon!

 

Dancing, dancing!

 

Victoria caught my bouquet, so the girls were all about catching hers!  Anna Kate caught a tiny flower off of the bouquet and held on to it so tightly for the rest of the night, lol!

 

Victoria asked the girls to be her “Sparkler Girls.”  It was very sweet and thoughtful.  Aunt Sharon even let them use a basket mom had given her when I was a child.  They loved passing out sparklers!

 

And then it was time for the big send-off!

 

 

This was the first time the girls have ever done sparklers.  They had a blast!

  

Bekah and the big girls were still partying!  Anna Kate was so excited Aunt Sharon let her take all the popcorn home that she wanted!

We’ve been family friends with the Prince family forever, and it was so very special to celebrate Victoria and Andrew’s big day together!
