My Brinley Girl and Jonah Bear

My baby girl Brinley is coming up on 8 months already!! She is the absolute sweetest baby ever. She smiles all the time and she's got dimples!! I always wanted a baby with dimples!!!

My Jonah bear is almost impossible to get a picture of because he never stops moving long enough!!! He loves playgrounds and slides and somehow managed to beat the odds and get some athletic ability genes which definately did not come from me.

Cruisin' Along the Mexican Riviera

Here are some fabulous photos from our fabulous vacation to the Mexican Riviera via the Golden Princess cruise ship.

Read 'em and weep . . .

Just a moment to make you all jealous - I am going on a cruise to the Mexican Rivera on Saturday!!! Yay!!! I'm outta here!!! Oh, and if you want to see a lovely picture of me and my hand go to www.murrayartscouncil.org and click on Murray Idol see the finalists.

MURRAY IDOL POST #2
Okay just a few general comments/questions about Murray IDOL. Jody - how did you know about it!? Meredith, I'm still processing it myself and no, if Mr. Scott had anything to do with it, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Plus, there has never before been a Murray Idol which is why you've never heard of it. Jenny, I don't actually know any country songs except one I sang on a CD for my husband called Bring on the Rain by Jodee Messina. John's only real flaw is that he likes country music. I am learning a new piece for Murray Idol. It is on this blog on my playlist called Broken Wing by Martina McBride. It's a light, happy song like most country. You should listen to it (: All your comments were pretty funny by the way. (:

MURRAY IDOL!!!!
Ok, this is for those of you who have ever asked me, "Jenny, why don't you audition for American Idol?" The main reason is that I was waiting for Murray Idol to come along. Because really, who wouldn't want to be Murray's idol? Yes, it's true, I am one of the few, the proud top 8 finalists for Murray Idol 2008. In case anyone was wondering, yes I am still young enough to enter (the cutoff is 30) and yes I'm the oldest one in the finals. So the whole point of this post is to invite everyone I know to come see me and cheer for me and most importantly VOTE for me at the finals. There are three fun filled nights to choose from: Thursday, March 27th I will be singing one pop song and one broadway song. Friday, March 28th is a really big treat because I will be singing country music. I know that is worth the price of admission on its own. And yes, they are making me sing country, it wasn't voluntary by any means. Saturday, March 29th is the final night in which case I will only be singing if I make the final three. All three nights will take place at Murray High School. Now I know you all know where that is. Hope to see you there!

Here is Brinley getting her first taste of rice cereal. MMMmmmm... so good. She is an interesting baby for me because unlike Jonah, she actually eats stuff. She did really good with the cereal. Of course, more ended up on the outside than in the mouth. Oh well!

Here is a picture I stole from Jody's blog of a bunch of my high

school friends at Michelle Taylor's baby shower. We all don't look half bad ten years later!!!
