I've been loading songs on my iPod tonight. You can never have too many songs. Tim bought me this iPod a couple of years ago for Christmas. It was a total surprise and the best gift ever. Seriously. I have used this iPod pretty much every day since I've received it. I use it when I work out, when I clean houses, to fall asleep at night, and at other musical times during the day. I'm using it right now as I surf on the internet too. Good example right there, huh!
Anyway, I just thought I'd share a couple of my favorite songs right now. Click on these links if you wanna listen!
a favorite song of mine - I love, love, love the sort of gravelly (is that a word?) sound to her voice in this song.
another favorite song of mine - This song is just a fun, light hearted, easy listening song. It's kind of relaxing to me.
yet another favorite - I like the lyrics to this song. Kinda a unique thought "If I Were A Boy".
Ok. That's enough sharing for one day. I LOVE music. I have tons and tons of favorite songs. I think i tend to radiate towards women's vocals. And I also lean towards acoustic guitarish songs. When I look through my iPod I see a lot of Alternative genre songs. Actually, come to think of it I pretty much like it all. All except the classical stuff. What are your favorite songs? Isn't it so interesting how everyone has such different taste in music? Cool beans.
That's Michelle under that hair. You can't see her because she's playing with Landon. She does that ya know. Plays. Laughs. Has fun.
I stole this picture off of grandma's blog. Thanks Grandma for bringing your camera! It was his first basketball game and he did great. He is aggressive and a good ball handler. He admits he needs to practice his shooting. He shot a ton of times, making one basket. I think he has some basketball in his blood even though he says he's ALL FOOTBALL.
Last night was Shelbie's chorus program. The kids were instructed to wear white shirts and black slacks or skirt and black shoes. Of course she had NONE of these things in her closet so this last weekend we had a girls shopping date. We were on a mission. Now, let me tell you....to find a girls plain white shirt is VERY hard to do. Oh ya, we saw the plain button up ones but this is Shelbie we're talking about. Anyone that knows her well knows that she WILL NOT wear buttons. She has refused to wear buttons since she was little. She just doesn't like them. And that's ok, it's her taste. But, that made it very hard to find a white shirt. We got lucky and found this pretty blouse. Yes, it has black lace on it but it was the best we could do. Plus, I think she's pretty in it. Well..she's always pretty come to think of it.
The 6th grade kids sounded great. The Christmas songs that were sang started to get me in the Christmas mood. Can you find her in this picture? Doesn't look like she's even signing here but she did sing. Beautifully, I'm sure. Here's a clip of it on Grandma's blog.
This is a favorite picture of mine taken from Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for each of these kids. These four cousins are close. Emily and Shelbie are stuck on each other like glue. Landon likes to bug them all (just as any boy would). And Valleri is now of the age where she wants them all to leave her alone (understandably since she's a teenager). But, I managed to get this shot of them and I'm thankful for that.
