Karenza Fascinated by Sharks

Karenza spent the night last night at Mom and Dad's. She comes home today and tells me that her and Papa were watching shark videos on the computer. She wanted me to do the same with her. So I went to the Discovery Channel website, and we were looking at sharks. She kept telling me that she wanted to see the octopus one. So I just searched for a shark vs. octopus, and so we must have watched the video below 20 times tonight!! She keeps telling me "Oh, Mom the octupus just squishes the shark, and then he dies!" She is like her Dad. Randy has a fascination of sharks too. Crazy girl.

My Little Actress

This is Friday before daycare. So cute!
This is Thursday after daycare getting her Valentine's gift bags ready

Had to lay the other way


And we baked cookies for her to take. Nothing special just pre-made ones.


Below is a video of her singing a song from The Little Rascal's. I put the real version below it, and wanted you to hear the very similar versions. The girl would be able to act! I laugh everytime she sings this because it is so on point.

Karenza's Concerts

Below are a couple videos of Karenza trying to sing with the TV, and the other of a song she said she wrote for Randy and me. She is a good little singer, and carries a tune. We get many concerts put on for us. Thanks to her Grandma and Grandpa buying her a microphone. Her Papa thinks he needs to build her a stage to sing on, because heaven for bid she stand on her bed and use that as a stage! :-) We do not have room for a stage!



Below we were watching the movie The Temptations. Randy and I love that movie, and it was the first time Karenza ever watched it. You have to listen to her sing on key perfectly with the TV when you first press play below. Maybe listen to it twice because the rest of the video she is listening to the words, and trying to sing a long. But I started recording her late, and she was on key singing the chorus with them.


The video below is of the song Karenza "wrote" for Randy and me - pretty good huh?



And below are just of recent pictures of Karenza with her beautiful brown eyes, and her beautiful hair!

The Latest

I haven't blogged in over week, sorry just been too lazy to upload my photos I wanted to share. So here they are. On Jan. 23rd we took Karenza to the Disney Live show that was at the Civic Center. She loved it. It was ridiculously expensive. The glow in the dark toys were $25.00!! Sno cones were $12.00, and you got to keep the Little Einstein cup it came in and the cotton candy was $10.00 that came with a hat. She got a sno cone and cotton candy.

Then on January 24th my cousin Nicole got married. We sure had a fun time. At the wedding ceremony the priest mentioned Jesus Christ, and Karenza asked Randy and me "Why is he talking about Jesus Christ, he is suppose to be talking about Nicole and Richard (the groom)!" She wasn't quiet about it either and people around us laughed. She wasn't being quiet, and she kept going from sitting with us to sitting with Mom and Dad in front of us. I finally told her she had to decide and stay put. I told her that she needed to listen to me because Jesus was watching her and that he would be upset if she wasn't listening to her Mom. She said, and not quietly either "Mom, Jesus isn't even here he died on the cross, those people killed him!" Ha! She was quite entertaining. At the dance she was a dancing fool. She is so cute to watch dancing. This was the first wedding dance I was at since Randy and I got married where I didn't have to be out catching the bouquet. So I told Karenza to do it and represent her Mom. And she did!! She caught the bouquet, and was so excited!!

Yesterday we went over to Jen and Wes' to watch the Superbowl. Randy is pleased his Steelers got another Superbowl win. I was rooting for the Cardinals! So close!!! Below are some pictures over the last week or so, in no particular order....

Future Dancer

Tonight we (Randy, Karenza, Mom, Dad, and Me) went to Century's and Bismarck's high school basketball game at the Civic Center. Randy has worked with this kid since the end of his 7th grade year and he is now starting on varsity as a Freshman! So we have been going to all his games this season. During half time tonight Century had their dance team doing a routine. Well, Karenza was dancing to the music all night, and so I had my camera with me and video taped her dancing. People in the crowd were watching her and laughing. BTW - Bismarck won too, YEAH!! :-) Karenza will definitely be a future BHS Demon!!

Hope of Unification in our Nation

Wow, was yesterday spectacular or what? I have never watched an inauguration with such full awareness as I did yesterday. Obama is an amazing speaker, and fills me with hope for not only me, but my child and my future children. Last night Randy and I were talking that even though Karenza doesn't really know the status of everything that is going on in this world that it gives us hope to know that someday she can look back and tell her grand kids she was part of history! That someday our way of life now, will be so abnormal as slavery. We all will be equal. That closed mind and closed hearts will be open. That discrimination will be a way of the past that Karenza or her kids won't ever believe that we lived this way. Obama gives us hope that we all can become unified, work together, and be successful no matter what race, religion, or sexual orientation. That we can all look at each other equal, and that one is not better then the other. I just think back to when slavery was legal and how hard headed and strong minded those individuals were. There are those individuals who are just as hard headed and strong minded today and back then they probably wondered how life would ever be without slavery because it had been that way for so long. It's been 40+ years since Martin Luther King spoke and gave those people hope. Even if it takes 40 years for us to be unified Karenza will be 44 and she will be able to live it and her kids will be able to live in a world where every one is equal. And maybe Obama won't be able to get us out of where we are, but he sure does give me hope and belief that we all can become one. If we work hard and have determination the skies the limit. I just looked at Karenza a little different last night knowing she has her future ahead of her and that she can be anything she wants to be! Truly inspirational.

"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord." - Barack Obama

Little Rascal's

Holly and I use to watch The Little Rascal's all the time when we were little girls. I was at Wal-mart a few weeks back in their DVD's for $5.00, so I grabbed it for Karenza. She loves it! She has been watching it (what seems like a lot from the video below). If anyone has seen this movie, Karenza is talking about when Buckwheat and Porky go see Darla at her front door to tell her the note Alfafa wrote. See her "re-enactment" below:


Below is the real piece from You Tube, pretty close, huh?!
