Vocal Point Concert- Ahhh Yeah!!!



Andrew had to attend a concert for his choir class. So we chose a Vocal Point concert. Wow! That was a great choice for us. It kept the kids entertained for almost 2 solid hours. Some of the highlights were the Beatbox battle, (the director has a 3 year old son who joined in –he was really good), the sports theme medley, Crazy ABC’s, 12 days of Christmas… even though those were our favorites, the rest of the songs were amazing too. The group is comprised of 9 male BYU students who sing a capella and do vocal percussion (beatbox)…they were also incredibly funny. We loved the little stories they shared with us in between songs. We’d recommend this to anyone and we are going again for sure! :o) The kids had so much fun – even Natalie was entertained - she loved hearing “Once there was a Snowman” in the middle of the songs.

We loved the music so much that we bought 4 Vocal Point cd's. The music is clean, upbeat and uplifting, so we listen to it in the car when we go on a drive. We have all been practicing our beat box skills too. It's pretty funny :o)

Hadlock Halloween 2009











Halloween was fun this year. We were only out for an hour, but it was perfect because we didn't get too cold. Natalie insisted on wearing plastic high heels, so she wouldn't have lasted too long if the kids had wanted more candy. Halloween costumes were easy this year....we have a millon costumes from years past so I wish the kids would use them, but only 1 did. Nate decided he wanted to be ghost...a run of the mill white sheet ghost. Jessica decided to be a golfer. Everybody called her "Tiger Woods" she had no idea who that was. Nicole was a sandwich - which turned out great, and was so easy. It costed about 15 bucks and we got everything from Walmart. Natalie was a princess and Drew wore his Scream mask with gangster clothing. I guess he was a "gangster ghoul"!
