This last Friday was our ward talent show....(David this post is for you.) Abby's routine was to Eileen Barton's If I knew You Were Comin' I'd Have Baked a Cake...a tribute to my older viewers out there...(geez.....I'm going to get in trouble for that one.) She remembered about 80% of her dance, to my surprise. Its really getting ridiculous how much she reminds me of me. She really likes to perform. (We shall see if that is a good thing, or bad when she is a teenager.) Before she went on she begged me to let her have the microphone so she could sing and dance while the music played. I decided she had enough things to concentrate on with the mass amount of people watching her, not to mention the fact that our family isn't really known for its vocal stylings.
Sarah (my friend from church) and I had secretly hid our act from all of our friends to surprise them. We wanted to do some sort of 80's throwback dance, and eventually decided on Michael Jackson's "Thriller". For the performance we painted our faces white, teased our hair to look like zombies, and performed a 3 minute full-on dance routine. You should of seen how many times we rewound the youtube music video while we were learning it. It was so fun! I guess I should be embarrassed trying to relive my childhood again....oh, well.
Anyway, the night was awesome and I think our friends enjoyed laughing at us too. Here are some videos that Taylor took with his Blackberry of both of the Nelson acts. I hope you like fuzzy blobs moving around on what might be a stage. ---- Love ya babe!

I am LAUGHING MY HEAD off!!! But then I'm really angry too...could taylor have picked the FARTHEST seat from the stage to film his family with a flippin phone!!!! Holy cow! he could've at least moved up....and why doesn't he go and ask fannie mae about a loan for a stinkin' camera :)
Sheri that was priceless...Abby is your daughter...she has nothing of her father in her. nothing. I expect the entire routine from both of you next week :)
O my heck. The quality isn't as bad as you made it sound. Dude, we look stinkin hot, even if we look like blurbs. That was so much fun...I will NEVER forget it. I do have to get that video on MY blog though....maybe Taylor can work his magic one day.
Sheri, you are in trouble if Abby gets any of my I want to be the center of the stage and your dance and artistic abilities, we will be going to lots of performances.
That was great loved it
Thank you
Love Rod
how rude of me not to comment on a post dedicated to the great Tai-Pan. awesome awesome job! Abby is fearless...
Can somebody PLEASE get a decent video of this from another ward member? This will have to replace the legendary "Do you hear what I hear?" video for family holiday viewing.
leave it to TayRay to preserve the "Did she forget the words?" comment for posterity
somewhere Tia is looking down at her belly and gritting her teeth!!!
