It was great to just spend hours with you, listening to you give all your amazing speeches and debates and everything else, and it was great to just hang around and laugh and have some crazy fun!

Oh and hey, I pretty much got all of your duo with Melanie filmed on my camera!!! I put all the long clips together to make one long movie, and I added some music and credits--just to add to the affect! I'll have to send it to you! You two did sooooo awesome, I'd say your both very talented actors:)!!

Hey looks like I missed out on all the fun.....no fair!!! I would have LOVED to spend the day hanging out with you, the Martins, Hannah, Lizzy, and Allie! That would have just been AMAZING!I loved looking at this post though.....because I knew almost everyone in the pictures! It has been so fun to get to know your friends Lakota! You have awesome friends! Congratulations to both of you Lakota, and Melanie on taking third place on your duo! I know from seeing it myself that it was incredibly fantastic!!!!! Yes Lakota I agree with the other girls the new blog background is adorably, darling! I also agree with you that if there were some brighter colors that would be an improvement, but it is cute as is!!! BTW I didn't see the pictures of the goat kids you promised.....did I miss those somehow?!:-)LOL Thanks for directing me to the post via email! It was so good to see some pics of you having fun! I miss you SO MUCH! I love the B&W picture of you Lizzy, Hannah, and Allie! SO CUTE! Adorable outfits girls! I'm praying for you sis!
