back by popular demand...

i know that rileys, " I Am A Child Of God" post was loved by many. Riley loves all of the primary songs and gets upset when we don't listen to,"her" c.d. in the car. I may sound evil but sometimes i need a break. a few months ago ian taught her the,"Families Can Be Together Forever" song and she has been belting it ever since. bless her heart for trying she knows the words but i think she may be tone deaf.

our little ri loves singing so much that on Easter Sunday she went up to the front of the chapel with the primary kids to sing their song (was she old enough to go up? no. did she know the song? yes. did she think she was a part of a choir concert up there with full belting facial expressions? yes. was she at all distracted by her dad sitting behind her on the stand? no. she went to the front of the crowd did her thing and then waved to ian on her back down to where i was sitting with peyton.) so....I guess this is how she hears the "family scripture song" (that's what she calls it) in her head. this is one of her favorites so enjoy.

i love hearing little kids sing. i can't believe how many songs she knows. it is a very rare occasion when jack actually sings it just melts my heart, but he too is tone deaf. way to go riley

she is so cute...I am constantly impressed with your children!

So, it seems Ian is a great song teacher and it just so happens I know the music leader in Primary needs a break - when can he start?

What a great video! I laughed so hard I cried. I loved her facial expressions and her happy smile by the end of the song! She must have been the star of the show when she sung with the primary. Those are my favorite meetings when the primary sings. What cute kids you have!!
