My good friend, Angie, over at 7 Clown Circus hosts "Wordful Wednesday" each week. It's always a lot of fun because you get to share a picture, any picture, and tell all about it. As you know, I'm never at a loss for words! So, please stop by Angie's blog and check it out! You'll be so glad you did!
Now, last summer we took a 7-night cruise aboard Freedom of the Seas, which I highly recommend! We had the best time! Well, the girls and I discovered that there were recording booths onboard! You could, actually, make music videos of yourself singing! You were able to pick the song and the background, then you'd step inside the booth and record your video. All you saw behind you was a "green screen", but there was a monitor in front of you with the lyrics to the song, as well as the background you'd chosen. You were superimposed on the screen, just like the real deal! It was so much fun and truly addictive! I bet we did it 30 or more times... sang with Bon Jovi, Rascal Flatts, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, you name it! Yes, even a little "Sweet Home Alabama" with Lynard Skynard. We had dance moves that would put Justin Timberlake to shame...I REALLY mean that! LOL!
Well, this picture shows Brittany and Abby in the recording booth one evening after dinner. Abby was always pretty serious about it, but Brittany and I couldn't keep a straight face! I thought Brittany was going to tinkle on herself, she was laughing so hard! Look at Abby...she was watching herself on the monitor and hoping that Brittany would compose herself so that she could continue with her recording. Oh, she has visions of hitting it big in the music industry one day....so do I! :) Just one question...why is it that I always sound so phenomenal in the shower, but like a dying calf everywhere else? Must be the acoustics! LOL! Those were some good times!

How fun is that!?! Your girls are so beautiful! What a fun cruise that must have been! I have never been on one, and never sang in a recording studio thing like that! Probably would have to shut it down, I sing really well...in the car.:-)
That looks like so much fun! If only my singing voice didn't make dogs howl...
What a FUN story! (LOVE the pic too.. oh, they are SOOOO CUTE!)
About your giveaway.. I'm REALLY EXCITED about those necklaces. They are just ADORABLE! I'm DEFINITELY going to order one for my niece, and am thinking of ordering for all the little girls in our church. (Now I say that, we homechurch.. there are about 30 of us in total, but only about 7 little girls) I thought while your friend his having a "BOGO" sale I might just get them all one. ☺ (However, I'll wait to make SURE I didn't win the contest to order - MAYBE) ha!!
Have a GREAT day, my Friend!
How fun to be able to sing in a recording studio April. I think your picture captures the moment perfectly--what great vacation memories your family has.

I love the picture of your girls!!!! My girls would be crazy for something like that! We have been talking about a cruise, too.:) Lori
I have the same singing issue. I sound perfectinside my own head, but to everyone else...bad!
Great post as usual.
What a FUN thing to do.....we can all dream that we make it big, right?

Sounds like lots of fun...I guess when we went on our cruise they did not have that on our ship...sounds like lots of fun!
Hi April
5:15! You are an early bird! Your girls are adorable. They sure look like they're having fun. I love the background on your blog. Hope you have a great day today.

They have the same thing at MGM Disney World and Johnny did it several years ago.
April...what a hoot! Your girls are precious and these are memories so sweet that you all will remember forever! ;) ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups"
So, pretty much every time I come here and get ready to make a comment, the first commenter has already said exactly was I was going to... as in, this time, "How cute is THAT?" But it is..! There is so much laughter and love in your life, April.. thank you for allowing it to overflow onto the rest of us!
Cute story, April!
And you can tell that Brittany is really cracking up! Great picture!

Such gorgeous girls, April!
Just LOVE that photo...I can relive that laughter through it!
Love the photos....so much happiness there.
How fun!!! I love this picture, Brittnay looks like she is having a blast!! They both look so happy and lovely!!
That looks like fun! I should point out once again that I like that Abby. It must be something about us both being the youngest of two daughters!
That sounds like it was fun. What cruise line were you on?
Love that-so sweet...a sister's bond-
The dying calf comparison made me crack up.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
That would be great April!
I would vote for her.
Have a blessed Earth day my friend.
~Melissa :)
That sounds like a blast!! I love karoke so this would be right up my alley!! lol.
As far as prom...it was April 3. You must've missed that post bc I went back and looked and didn't see a comment from you. It was a post about prom, easter and a baby shower all wrapped into one. Check it out sometime when you get time!
Have a great day.
That looks like so much fun.
That looks like so much fun.
Hi April
That sounds like such fun. Loved the picture of the girls in the booth.
When we visited Disney's Hollywood Studios we took part in The American Idol Experience (as part of the audience). It really was fun.

Oh April! That sounds so fantastically fun! I love those pretty girls of yours. I love how I totally have their different personalities all figured out from what you write : ). They are delightful!
Just looking at that pic is making me smile and giggle. How fun.
How cute are they? Looks like alot of fun!
I starting laughing out loud just seeing how much fun they seemed to be having! Great photo!
That does sounds fun! Abby is so cute in all her seriousness... LOL! I would probably be laughing along with Brittany.
Wow, that really does look fun. No way I would ever get in there, but that REALLY looks like fun.
I sing really well in the shower too, by the way. Though my family would disagree with that.
Oh my goodness! That sounds like so much fun! my girls are always singing. Madelyn knows the words to every song on the radio, but Felicia just makes her own words:0) Too funny!
I loved all your song choices that you sang w/ your friends! LOL! Your girls are so cute and looked like they had so much fun doing it! I love Abby's serious expression! :-)
Our family loves to sing too. Loved the pic. What fun!
that is adorable! sisters are always so different from each other - even if you have 4 like i do!
Your girls are so cute! What a fun thing to do. And your cruise sounds fabulous!
I am trying to talk Jeff into a cruise for our family. I think it sounds so fun!
XOXO
Jen
That looks like so much fun!! I love the laughter on Brittany's face and Abby, precious Abby she is so stinking cute!
