My granddaughter singing

Oh Judy! She sounds wonderful! And she is soooo pretty

I am so proud of her! Jessie is her coach. She started singing lessons at somewhere around the same age.

I'll never forget Jessie singing "Gloria" in 7th or 8th grade at her school's talent show. The audience was full of students and they were singing along with her, clapping and dancing in their seats. It was probably the dream of any young teen who wants to be on stage! I turned to the girls behind us and asked them to please keep it down because I was her mother and I wanted to hear her. They were so sweet about it!

Mackenzie has not said that she wants to be a singer, but I am thrilled that she can perform so beautifully.

By the way, Brandon, who is now 8 1/2, does want to be an actor. He got the lead role in the 2nd grade school play. He played the turkey! Kassidy was in the chorus. She was a horse.

Well, my goodness gracious! I can see that someday I am going to be able to say, "I know their GRANDMOTHER!" How fun. I just love watching kids perform! The school I grew up in was so small we all had to be in band, chorus, basketball, 4-H, etc. in order to have enough to make a "team". I can't sing or play a lick - but I was there and I have so many fun memories of those days!

The children's school is also small, but not quite that small. But, Kassidy is a boy scout because there is no girl scout troop, and Jessie is group leader or there would be no boy scouts either! She only has 5 little boys and Kassidy.

Being so involved in their lives is keeping me young! I also love the children's activities.

HA! I love it that Kassidy is a BOY SCOUT!!! That is just too cool!

There were 12 kids in my class - 6 boys, 6 girls. We did pick up a few more when I was in high school because some of the smaller schools near us - can you believe there were smaller schools - were closed and their students were bussed to our school.

I just found Jessie's girl scout blouse and hat. Jessie is going to let Kass wear it
to the meetings,

Their school has 2 classes of about 15 to 18 children on each grade. I am not sure about the high school. I taught in small schools downstate. I could not go back to a large school once I experienced working in a small school. I think the sense of family in a small school is so much better.

I got up with this song in my head this morning. I was trying to think why and where I had heard it recently.....then I remembered so I came on here and listened to Mackenzie.....again!!!! She's still really good and I enjoyed it a second time!!!
