Wow! Almost here! (talent show, that is)

Hi Nanny and G-dad! (wow, that's bright) :) :) :) 

Tomorrow is out talent show for choir. I can't believe it's already here. I mean, it's not THAT big, but time just flies, don't ya think? We have been working really hard. I'll post tomorrow to tell you how it went. :)

On Wednesday, Johnny, Henry, Mom and I are leaving 4 Birmingham for our debate and speech tournament. I have to memorize TWO (Kinda) Speeches before The end of Wednesday!!!! AHHHH!!! Yeah, I know, kinda stressful, right? You guys have the easy part. All you have to do is watch fun speeches and make a bunch of circles on your judging sheets, then rank that person: 1-5th and below. :)
Giving speeches is fun, though. :) I gotta go memorize a 10 minute speech!!! Love you!!!


Love, Amy (who has to memorize TOO many things.) :) :) :) :) XOXOXOXOXOX

Some Daddy Daughter Fun

Dear Mom and Dad,
This past Saturday evening, Pat and the girls attended our American Heritage Girls Daddy Daughter Date Night.  I thought that you would enjoy some of the fun photos.  We got a photo of each Father with daughter(s) as they came in the door.  I was the photographer!

Proud Daddy with Girls

We provided some munchies for them to eat while they filled out "love notes" for each other that would be given to them later to take home.  Unfortunately, too many mom's brought sweets and we didn't have enough "meat".  Dad's like substance.  Not sweets.

Writing Love Notes to each other

Too many sweets!

Afterward we played a few games.  The Dad's had to guess which hands belonged to their daughter.  Pat guessed Chloe's, but didn't get Kaylee's.  In his defense, I didn't guess Kaylee's either!  And I know my girls hands too.  After the hand game, the girls had a chance to plant new "hair" on their dad's heads. 

"Hmmm, they all look so similar...."

Dad sees Chloe's fingers!  "I recognize that hand!"

Chloe and Kaylee getting Dad's head ready for new "hair".

Kaylee, having a little too much fun throwing cheeto's at her daddy's head!

These Dad's were such great sports.

It was a fun evening for both girls and Dad.  Now you know what we were up to on Saturday Night.  What did you do?

Love and miss you much.  Love, Kathee

The Title

Dear Nanny and G-Dad,

On Saturday was Winter Jam, and I went (If you aren't familiar with Winter Jam, it's the biggest Christian concert in America). It was my first concert so it was extra special. I went with my youth group, but not all the kids went. I think I was the oldest middle schooler there and then there were my friends Ava, Kylie, Amber, and Christina. We waited around for a long time, I think at least 4 hours, snacking on donuts and wishing the line for Starbucks wasn't so long. And finally, they opened the doors and we were almost in, and then, and then... THEY CLOSED THE DOORS ON US! So half our group was in and half of it wasn't. And then some lady said we couldn't bring bags in and everyone started freaking out... But she didn't get her facts straight because they let me take my bag in. Anyway, we got up to the highest seats possible and sat behind the stage. And let me tell you, 15,000 people praising God in one building is amazing. It blows your mind. The only thing I didn't like was I lost half of my hearing, but I don't care, it was worth it. One of the bands was really loud (heavy metal loud) and I couldn't hear a word they were saying so I sat down and played Temple Run on my iPod. TobyMac was there too, he played about 8 songs at the end. And then we got back in the vans and started heading home. Trying to sleep in a car with three 6th graders is hard. They just couldn't stop talking about school. I didn't go to bed till midnight and I'm still trying to catch up on sleep.

So, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to be when I grow up, and at first I wanted to start as a actress, then become a writer, then a marine biologist, and finally, own a coffee shop/book store and retire. Now I'm thinking I should write a book, produce and direct the movie, star in it (because no one can be Princess Cleostella like I can. Who know's her better than me?), after the series is done I go back to college and get my degree in Marine Biology, then I move to an unknown island off the coast of Australia and study the reefs there, and finally, move back to the States and own a coffee shop/book store/publishing company called Golden Unicorn. Yup, that's exactly what I'm going to do when I grow up and yes, I know, it doesn't sound like a reliable plan. Mom says I should just be a Marine Biologist, but what's the fun of just one job?

I have to go study. Oh, and G-Dad, I forgot to tell you, I got an A on my science test. The one before that was an F. 

Love, Chloe

Update on Amy's Life

Hey Nanny & G-dad,

Henry, John, Mom, and I went to Memphis, TN for a speech & debate tournament. Unfortunately, none of us advanced. :(  It was super fun, though!! I met a bunch of people. :) 

I was looking at Paris's forecast and it looks like it is going to snow! Well, you're not really in Paris. AND you are probably sick of snow. :) Of course, I would LOVE to have some snow in Auburn! Totally!!

Our talent show for choir is coming up. My friends, Emma R., Margot T., Clara J., and I are doing the song from "White Christmas" called: "Sisters"  I don't know if you have ever heard of that. :) I'm also doing three more acts, but I'm not going to name them for you. :) :) :) :) 

I better go and get some more school done. Hope you have a great Valentines Day!!!

Love, Amy Gue
