Sawyer Performs Katy Perry's "Roar"

She ALWAYS hams it up like this... but never for the camera.  Very rare for me to catch this.

I wonder where she gets this DNA that has her do unique/weird/crazy things like this.  Hmm...

Last-minute

Just wanted to let you all know this is last-minute but November 17 Joshua is being dedicated at our church at 10 am let us know if any of you would like to come so we can save seats

Casey is in town for the weekend

Hi Family, Casey came in for the weekend instead of coming over Thanksgiving. It is hard to keep up with his social life, however, we have managed to find a time that he will be hanging around at home. We would love for anyone to come by tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon/early evening for a visit. He will hang around until at least seven and we will serve supper. Sorry for the late notice, and hope it works out for some to come. Love, Kelly (proud and happy mom)
