God Bless America!

Happy July 4^th to those of you who live in the United States of America, and to my friends around the world, enjoy the peace and quiet of a firework-free day!

This video is short. In fact, in the time it’d take you to sing, God Bless America, it’ll be over. I found it in my extremely organized film archive under, “A” for Adorable. Hey, we get to organize according to our very own systems!

The three adorable singers are my bonus daughter Kristi Marsh’s children. (From left to right: Kyle (three), Kaytee (one), Tanner (five). One of the things I love about living in the 21^st century is we can record special moments like this one and cherish the memories forever. I keep reminding young mothers to enjoy as many moments as possible with your children, because they grow up faster than a cheetah on speed. One day you’ll wake up and they’ll be gone and you’ll be left with yummy memories . . . or not.

This video is eleven years old. Kyle is now 14, Kaytee is 12 and Tanner is 16. Tanner loves “the stage.” He is very active in drama, dance and music. (You’ll notice he really keeps pitch as does Kyle. Kaytee does great back-up for a one-year-old.) As you watch, imagine these “babies” rapidly heading for adulthood! It truly seems like yesterday that they sang God Bless America together.
