We don't watch a whole lot of TV at our house, however there is one show that brings us all together and brings out the competitive side in all of us. Tuesday and Wednesday nights for the last 4 months have been spent watching American Idol. We have cheered, argued, and yes even cried over this year's Season 8 of American Idol. From the beginning Baylee (the MOST competitive one of all) has been cheering for Jasmine and Danny Gokey. We had many tears the nights they were both voted off. Dan was leaning towards Matt and lost interest when he was voted off. Brinley and Rylee just cheered for anyone that was on the stage, but I have loved voting for Kris Allen from the beginning!! I would come home from our YW activities and hurry and watch American Idol and start voting right away for Kris. Baylee would make me send a vote in for Danny (usually I would "forget" his number) every once in a while. Since Danny Gokey was voted off a week ago, Baylee has been plotting how she can vote for Adam Lambert (sorry fans, but his screaming makes my stomach sick) instead of Kris. She has been teasing me all week, telling me that Adam is going to win and Kris will never make it. Ha Ha!! Actually on Tuesday night Baylee and I had 3 phones going voting for Kris. She however thought that she was voting for Adam, but I'm the one that dialed the phone (with Kris' number of course) and handed it to her to keep hitting redial. I'm such a mean Mom, but I'll show her!! So last night it was sweet victory at our house (even though I was the only one jumping around with excitement!). I went on a field trip with Baylee today and have reminded her ALL day long who won. Yeah Kris!!
A big CONGRATULATIONS to the newest Captain in the West Jordan Fire Department, my Dad!!
