Summer

Whoa... we haven't done on update for a while. This summer has been awesome! Our cousins from Texas came to visit us and our cousins from Illinois just moved about 5 minutes away! School starts next week. Aly starts school on Friday- all of the seventh graders are going a day early so they can get to know what to do at a new school. A few weeks ago, Aly entered a contest, Celebrity Competition. 6 nights out of the summer, 15 people sing with a band that they have never performed with and 3/15 people of each night move on the the semi finals. If she makes the next round, she and 5 other contestants will open for the Boyz II Men concert. We are happy to say that she made it into the next round. She will be performing prior to the event, Dancing Under the Stars, on August 22nd, 2008. The important guests going to Dancing Under the Stars are Louis van Amstel from ABS's Dancing with the Stars; Chelsie Hightower, Gev Manoukian and Matt Dorame from FOX's So you Think You Can Dance; Hefa Tuita from Nickelodeons Dance on Sunset; Jason Celaya from the TV Broadway casting competition Grease: You're the One that I Want; Tre Hollaway- the nationally known choreographer and a featured dancer in High School Musical 3, and many more surprise guests. This summer has been great, but we're ready for school to start.
