The Singing Show...

Last night Kevin and I watched the "singing show" (as Grace calls it)...aka American Idol. We both cried like big babies because one of the first contestants to make it to Hollywood was a 16 year old girl named Maddy Curtis.

Here's a link to her audition so you can see why we cried:

She is now our official favorite! Go Maddy!

  3. I love her. She has a beautiful voice and seems like SUCH a sweetie.

    PS one of the babies I posted on Matching Monday could be Bella's twin! or younger sister.
