That is what I said, she at church getting married! Sheesh.

A couple of weeks ago my very good friend Kristin and her bf got engaged! During fireworks!! How cool is that??

Anywho, she asked me to be her maid of honor and she asked Gracie to be her flower girl. How cool is that?? I'm excited to be a part of the wedding becuase it's truly cool to see Kristin's relationship grow with Kyle. And now they are getting married. Soon they will be having children too! I love it and am so excited for her. Grace is thrilled to be her flower girl. She can't wait to wear the pretty dress and has been an absolute angel to Kristin. Not that she is every naughty to Kristin but she's crawling up in her lap and gazing at her with puppy dog eyes. Kristin helped take care of Grace right after she was born so the fact that Grace is also going to be in the wedding is meaningful for me too!

It's going to be a classy wedding too. Her colors are ivory and black and they look muy beautiful. It should be a fun ceremony, reception, and revelry had by all.

I would love to hear from my readers what parts you have played in weddings. Bride and groom count too!

Duluth

We are off to Duluth this weekend for a little anniversary trip! I've never been to Duluth and I've lived in Minnesota since I was 15. Apparently if you have lived in Minnesota and you haven't gone to Duluth that is a crime. You can't imagine all the looks of horror I got when I would tell people that I've never been to Duluth. I'm a bad Minnesotan.



Ooh. Look at the rainbow!!

Bowling

Bowling update:

Today Grace bowled a 75! HOLY CARP! ( I really meant carp not crap. I like to say carp). She bowls better than me. Of course she does have the gutter rails up. I don't get THAT!

And the Oscar for best actress goes to. . .

This past week I signed Grace up for a theater traning class. It was super cool and she learned a lot about the stage. I have dabbled in community theater three times and I wanted to pass on the love of the stage to Grace.

It was a week long class based around the theme of Enchanted Forest. They learned all about stage right/left, sets, costumes, characters, lines, bowing (the cutest!) and various other things. They learned to warm up their imagination, voice and body. Apparently my child has little imagination so I need to work on that for the rest of the summer.

There were three scenes in their share-formance on Friday. Grace was in scene 3. She was a rose and her line was , "I can't swim!" She got a little shy when it was her scene but she did fine. There was some little starlets in the class too. They were hilarious because they were so animated.

I am so glad that I signed her up for this! She really liked it and was excited to go back every morning. It was pulling teeth to get her to stay in dance so this was a nice refreshing change!


Here are some stills of her live performance. She will be signing autographs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your people can get in touch with her people to do lunch.


Here she is waiting for her cue to go on.

















Still Waiting!!!!!










Her big debut! The teacher is turning her around to remind her to speak to the audience.












She would like to thank the academy . . .
