Talent Show

We had a lot of fun preparing for this year's ward talent show.  At times it was stressful for Bob and I to get the kids to pay attention so we could practice.  On occasion people were mad at each other for spitting water at them at the wrong times.  There was a lot of giggling and excitement during practices as well.  All it in all it was a blast and I think it turned out pretty well. 

Ward Talent Show

Our ward did a talent show last Friday night so our family came up with an act.  Penelope has been wanting to do a talent show since Tucker did one at school a few months ago so when I found out about the ward one I thought it was the perfect opportunity.  There was no pressure and it was a lot of fun.

When Bob was a kid their family had a "Flying Woestman" act.  And so we decided to do the same.  I've never seen a video of theirs so we had to kind of make up our own version.  It was the perfect talent because the kids loved it and we didn't need to practice a ton.


Because the group talent show went so well last time I did it. I really wanted to do another one this year.  It was a little hard to coordinate everything with 7 people.  But it was fun and I think it turned out really well. I also think we worked harder on our talent than most, if not all, of the other acts.  We practiced a ton.  A bunch of moms and I got together and came up with this.


Because the young men were in charge of the activity the presidency also did a talent.  So watch the next video to see Bob.


Go here to see the talent show I did last time.

Talent Show

One thing we like to do when my family gets together is put on a little talent show.  Nothing fancy, but it is really fun to watch everyone.  And the kids especially love to show off their talents.  This year I had a couple problems with the vido so sorry Talitha but yours didn't get filmed and our families talent we refilmed a couple days later.

Mario Talent Show

Friday night was our ward activity and this month we did a talent show. It was different from the usual potluck and I think that made it more fun.  I was especially nervous almost the whole time because a few friends and I were preforming.  I get really nervous.  It is weird because I know it isn't a big deal and it doesn't matter if I mess up but no matter what I tell myself I still get really nervous every time I get in front of people.  I try not to let my nervousness stop me from doing things I want to do.  

Anyway, we practiced and practiced, which was harder than it would be for some people because we have kids.  We even made props and worked on things on our own.  The kids mostly just ran around the gym while we practiced on stage.  Except the babies sat on stage with us and sometimes Tucker tried to direct us from the floor.  He was funny.  He would yell things like "jump now, ok now the money!" he even drew up a picture of what we were supposed to do.  He was pretty into it.  It was all worth it because it was fun, even the practicing, and it turned out really well.

In the background we have Denise, Laura, Beth, Kari, and Katherine did the lights.  I know I am really the only one you can see but I don't want to hog all the glory, it was definitely a group effort and they worked just as hard on everything, if not harder.

My favorite parts are the "PAUSE" and the jump at the end, well I take it back those were probably the hardest parts and the funniest to watch.  My favorite parts were actually the underground part and the fast mode at the end because those were the easiest parts to do.

Bob and some of his friends threw something together at the last minute.  They were trying to be funny/entertaining not necessarily really good.  I thought it was fun and I am glad they did it even though they only practiced it once for about 30 minutes.  As opposed to our several hour and a half long practices.

I hope our ward does it again because we had a good time.
