This Is Kirtland! 2009

Andrew and I have been pretty busy the last couple of months rehearsing for our stake musical, This Is Kirtland! This is the sixth year of the show's running, and the second time I've had the opportunity to preform in it. The show depicts the lives of early Mormon settlers in Kirtland through beautiful music, dancing, and costumes. I feel so blessed to be just a small part of this great show and feel so much love and gratitude for the early Saints who lived right here. It's been especially fun to have Andrew in the show with me this year!

So fun! I wish I could see it! I bet it has been really cool having Andrew in the musical with you. (I love that you are blogging at one in the morning. That's what I'm doing too. It's the only time I get a chance to.) Ü

I'm so sad I wasn't able to be in the play this year. It looks like you are having a blast. I'm glad you got to do it again, and now with Andrew! He is so cute in that hat!

Oh my gosh Summer! That's so cool that your son is following in the talent legacy, he's so cute! It's fun seeing him acting and singing just like his mom.
