Singing in Ocean Grove, NJ.

This past weekend we performed at the Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, NJ. It is such a quaint and peaceful community. I look forward to this trip every opportunity we get to sing there. The Great Auditorium was built in 1894, seats about 6500 people, and is an all wooden structure. It is not air conditioned and has some of the most amazing acoustics!!! The pictures definitely don't do it or the beautiful town any justice, but they are still quite breathtaking!!!



Cat Fight!!!
The original Cat Women - Lee Meriwether & Julie Newmar -
sitting at the Newark Airport... It's amazing who I have had the opportunity to meet with this job!!!

The Great Auditorium... All of the windows in the balcony section open and the doors on the main floor open as well.



Quite the sights!!!

The gangs all here!!! :)


This picture is of the little tent/houses that line the streets. The front of the home is made out of a tent material and then there is a little wooden structure in the back. It truly is gorgeous. It's one of the few neighborhoods that still leave their doors unlocked!!!

Carl Somo and I in the dressing room.. What an amazing man - We love you and wish all the best to you and your beautiful family Carl... I am a better person for knowing you!!!



My friend, Neil and I are preparing to take the stage... What a great honor to know and work with such an icon!!!

Thanks to my husband, my family, and of course our wonderful Mimi (Ms.Teri) I have the job of a lifetime.... Mommy & back-up singer to Neil Sedaka...




Independence Day

We headed up early Friday morning to spend the weekend at Nana & Papa's lake house... Steph, Chris, & the kids are coming too... The boys are so EXCITED and ready for a fun filled weekend... Jacque, Tommy, and the kids will be going to Leakey, Texas... You will be greatly missed :(


Skipping rocks at Nana & Papa's Lake House...

Landon taking a dip!



The 4th of July wouldn't be complete without Nana's famous Red, White, & Blue Strawberries!! The kids just couldn't get enough. :)


Let the games begin... Chase is trying to stay hidden...



Dylan Matthew - our precious BIG boy...

Everyone loves to kiss on Landon!


Dylan diving into water that is about a foot and a half deep!!! The joy and excitement of raising boys...


Ashlynn Marie - our beautiful BIG girl!!!


The gazebo - what a cute little sitting area... This is where many meals and drinks are consumed!!


Off to see the fireworks on Lake Grandbury... Too much for the little guy to handle - He's out for the night... ;)


Captain Papa and his First Mate Nana...

Stephanie & Christopher

Ashlynn, Chase, and Dylan were front and center until a wave capsized the front of the boat almost claiming all of our children.... :) Ashlynn - the SMART one of the bunch - (a woman) decided to move to the back of the boat where it was less wet and safe!!!

Then there were two!!!

Does it surprise you that Dylan is the only one left?

Sigh...

Then there was ONE...

He looks pretty shaken up doesn't he? That's My Boy!!!

What a beautiful sunset - What a perfect place.... Thank you Nana & Papa for sharing!!!

T-Ran the Tarantula

Yes, it's true.... Tarantulas do exist!!! This particular little guy was found right next door to OUR HOUSE!!!! We kept him for a couple of weeks and I finally got tired of feeding him live crickets and grasshoppers every morning so with great saddness (ABSOLUTE JOY) I let the little guy go...to HEAVEN!!!! J/K For anyone that knows me, I have arachnaphobia - something awful, but knowing that T-Ran was safely enclosed, I was able to relax a little and observe him. They really are amazing creatures and I found myself a little mesmerized by him... It is said that they make great pets.... We will never know!!! ;)





Good bye my furry little friend... Let all your little spider friends know how well you were taken care of....

A Night At The Oley Mansion...

Splish Splash... Having fun in the sun!!!

Dylan & Maddie

My Baby.... Landon

Can you say....aaawwwhhhhhh!!!



Going for a walk....


All in a day's work.... I think we did our job and wore them out today!!!

Good night my precious boys...


Landon..... Sleeping in??? :)


Breakfast makes everybody happy!!!

That's my girl.... Good morning beautiful!!!


You know, it's tough to be a girl.... Getting ready for the day is a tough job... Thank goodness you can always count on your friends to help!!! Dylan Matthew...Mommy loves you!!!
