Watch out Taylor Swift...


I feel the need to catch up my blog a little...an how could I forget about Jenna's big moment in her school's talent show. She came home one day and told me that they would be having auditions for the talent show and that she wanted to sing a song. I tried to talk her into singing "Over the Rainbow" or something familiar...but she was adament that she sing her own song entitled, "Over the Hills." The funny thing is, she made this song up, but sings it the exact same every time. Well, I called her teacher and asked her if it was an audition in front of just a couple of teachers or the whole first grade. She said the whole first grade. I told her that Jenna could perform but we should probably just let her go that far...I know...I am a great mom. Trying to squish a little girls dreams. Well, long story short...her teacher was not there the day of auditions and my little star made it to the school talent show. Miss Jenna sang her rendition of "Over the Hills" in front of hundreds of kids and parents....a capella. I am so proud of how confident and poised this little girl was. I was always way to scared to do anything like that!!! She is so brave!!!She looked so cute, and did a really good job. We have a singer-song writer on our hands...watch out Taylor Swift!!!
Lyrics to "Over the Hills" by Jenna
I was waiting for you, on top of the highest hill
I was getting unpatient, so I went to find you
So I went over the hills, over the hills, over the hills
I went into the darkest forest, good thing I had a flashlight
Then I went to crocodile lake, there were crocodiles in crocodile lake
They reminded me of the tallest hills, so I went over the hills, over the hills, over the hills
Then I finally found you...so I took your hand and we went over the hills, over the hills, over the TALLEST HILL!!!
Okay...not word for word, but you get the point.
