The Only Reason....And it was WORTH IT!!

This is just a fast post, so that I have it recorded. I haven't been feeling good the past few days, and on Saturday I started loosing my voice. I thought death had hit me Saturday night and I wondered how my night of sleep would be considering my throat hurt, I couldn't breath out my nose AT ALL, and I had a splitting headache. I had taken Nyquil and was laying in bed and alls I could think about was how will I ever get up in the morning and get three kids plus myself ready for church and make it there by 7:40. Yes, 7:40. The primary program was today and that was the only reason my body was even trying to function. Josh was gone of course at the church at 5:30. I was able to get the kids ready and Mike across the street was nice enough to take the girls for me at 7:30 to get them there on time. I finished looking presentable (I hope) and then Kruz and I were on our way. My parents and Josh's parents both came and I think we would all agree that it was great. The girls had a duet part for the 3rd verse of "This is My Beloved Son" and I was a bit nervous. We have been practicing for a long time. Kobi is NOT SHY and I knew she wouldn't be nervous AT ALL. I was just hoping she would remember the words. Kylee on the other hand knows the words perfectly and would never forget them, but would she be so nervous that she wouldn't sing loud enough? We have practiced enough times, but would they FREEZE when they look out and see 501 people in the audience? NO, NO, NOT AT ALL. They did perfect. I was so proud of them and in tears. It was so worth getting up for. Many people were so nice after wards to say they did a great job. The Primary Presidency did such a wonderful job on the program and it took soo much hard work. I know it wasn't only my kids to be proud of. So many of you that read this have kids that did such a great job also. The effort of everyone was so noticed. It was just a moment for me that I was so proud of my girls and reminded again why I love them so much and why they are here with me.

You must have really been shedding tears because I was touched and I was way in the back and hardly know your girls. They did a beautiful job.

Oh, yes, that was a tear jerker! Your girls looked like little angels up there! You are definately doing something right with those two cause they are so sweet with each other! I love it.
That was a great program! I think Cruz likes me??:)

They couldn't have been any more angelic than they were. They did so good, I was really impressed. You must've spent a lot of time with them, they were perfect!

OH my gosh! I was totally blubbering when they got done. It was so sweet to hear them and see them. It was pretty dang sweet. I hope you are feeling better too.

I wanted to cry and it wasn't even my girls up there. They did such a beautiful job up there. You SHOULD be proud!

Oh Shan, that sounds like it was wonderful! I'm so glad they did well. I would have loved to hear it. I can only imagine how proud you were!

It was a great program, and their duet was definately a highlight! They did an amazing job and I love how Kylee had her arm around Kobi the whole time (atleast from way in the back it looked that way...) I hope you're feeling better, but I'm glad you were able to make it!

They did AMAZING! ALL the kids did AMAZING! Major Kudos to Renae! She deserves a spa day for the oodles of hours she spent putting together the program.

One more from the ward. They really were sweet angels and Bishop leaned over to me and said it reminded him of our two oldest, when they use to sing in church as little girls. Nothing sweeter..... Then they become teenagers. JK
