The Judds


Tonight on my way to my in-laws to pick up the girls after a stressful afternoon of teaching lessons I felt like I needed to put on some church music to calm my nerves. I picked up my case of CD's and realized that the church music was at home so instead I threw in an old CD that I hadn't listened to in years. THE JUDDS. I LOVE THE JUDDS! I grew up on them! We listened to them in the car and danced to them around my house. I even wrote a report in middle school about one of their songs. I knew all of their songs by heart and loved to sing to them (especially "Mama He's Crazy" - so fitting for middle school).

Well tonight putting in that CD was so therapeutic! I didn't want to get out of the car. After a few songs Madelyn exclaimed that she almost has them learned (she probably could see how much her mom was enjoying them and wanted to be a part of the excitement). I told her how her Lolo (my mom) and me loved to sing these together when I was young - she tried to learn them even harder. The ironic thing is that The Judds were a mom and daughter duo. The music that my mom and I loved and now my daughters will too because they will probably listen to it as much as the Wiggles now. Oh I love the Judds!!

Kids say and do the cutest things

"Mom, when I am a mom I will have to hold everybody." (Very observant because that is what I do when I am not on my feet. Whether it be the baby, Kaelyn, Madelyn and even occasionally our cat, Eddy, I have someone on my lap)

This last Sunday was Madelyn's first time singing in Sacrament Meeting as a Sunbeam. Right in the middle of the song she pulls out a bag of fishy crackers and starts eating them while everyone else is singing. Jay and I both looked at each other like - did you know that she had those going up there?. It was so cute!
