Video release

Tonight we had the awesome opportunity to go to a screening of a huge music video that's being released on YouTube tonight. David's client Aaliyah was one of the stars in the video so of course we went to support her and see how the video and song turned out. Some of you might have seen a "Let it go"  youtube video that went viral all over Facebook. It was filmed at the midway ice castles. It currently has over 30 MILLION views on you tube! That video was done by the same people who just did this new fantastic video, with the same amazing childrens choir in it. This time they did the video to the very catchy Pharell song HAPPY! I love that song, it makes me want to get up and dance! They filmed it at the aquarium so it was only fitting they had the video reveal there with friends and family. 

The main star in it who put this whole video together, as well as the other let it go video, is the one and only Alex Boye. David has done work with him through the years. Here's a fun little flash back for you! 

He sang at our wedding reception and pretty much killed it. He was soooo good and so much fun! He did a very interactive entertaining show, everyone loved it! 

Back to tonight! We went to the aquarium, they did the big reveal of the video in a theater they have. It was for everyone who was a part of the video, and their families. All the kids who were in it came of course, which is a LOT, the choir is huge. The aquarium was closed so it was a cool private event.  Aaliyah and another cute little girl sang the solos, and of course killed it! I loved this idea of doing the reveal for everyone in a theater, they could crank the music up and everyone could enjoy it together for the first viewing! 
Here we are waiting for the big reveal! Kayden photo bombed us! 

It's SOOO good. Like I said it's a cover of the song "happy" by pharell. If you could all PLEASE share it on Facebook if you love it, that would be awesome. It's such a fun cute video.

Mandy, who owns the company KoKo Blush is the adorable lady that made all the costumes, and did all the styling for the video shoot. She worked so hard and did such an amazing job, it's unbelievable. Everyone looked so great! 

I'm posting the YouTube link to the video below!  KSL 5 news also covered the show tonight, and the choir and Alex will be on the news in the morning! 
The 3 stars of the video! So proud of Aaliyah, she's doing big things quick! 
Sway and I outside the aquarium! 
Also, to add something random, which I LOVE to do. My hair is really long, and sometimes glamorous. The end.

Have a fabulous week everyone!!!!

EP release party

Listening to conference while I write this post, can you say multi tasker? I think I'm pretty good at it honestly, my husband might disagree though. I always have to rewind my shows multiple times because I get distracted and miss entire scenes and then am confused about what's going on. Thank goodness for DVR, but it drives him crazy. He's so patient with me though even when I do it mulitiple times during one show, he usually won't even say anything. Love you David! I really am enjoying conference today though! Can't wait for tomorrow! 

We had a really fun night last night I wanted to write about. My husband has been working with a super talented and adorable 11 year old girl named Aaliyah. He produced her EP as well as is working as her manager, booking her shows etc. If you don't know what an EP is, it basically means an album that is too short to be called an album, but is more songs than just a single. Hers has 5 songs. 5 glorious songs. This little gal has so much raw natural singing talent it's absolutely unreal. 

Last night she had her EP release party and boy was it fun! It was at a cool event center in Orem. They had bounce houses, giant inflatable slides, x box kinects projected onto giant walls, tons of catered food, delicious desserts homemade by Aaliyah's grandma. The whole night was so much fun for the whole family. David helped put the event together with Aaliyah's parents, as well as run sound, and book the talent. A few of his clients performed which is always fun to see them live! 

Aaliyah doing sound check with her newly formed band David put together. They sounded amazing and were so good! You would never know they had only practiced together like twice before the big day. 

Kayden relaxing enjoying sound check before the party started! 


He loved the bounce house, and the obstacle course blow up slide! There were a few times I had to run into the obstacle course because he was too little to climb the wall to the slide, so I would have to hoist him over! Poor guy, thinks he can run with the big kids! He loves other kids! Especially kids his size! He laughs and tries to hug and tickle them! 

I pretty much failed at getting any good photos of all the girls who performed before Aaliyah! I love them all though! Wrestling 2 babies alone pretty much left my hands full! I tried though. I did have a lot of volunteers to hold sway while I chased Kayden around, which was super nice and helpful! Thanks again ladies, of course they were all loving on her. She's a very snuggly little baby! 

Here's a not super clear picture of cute Kenz Hall rockin the stage with her guitar! She's amazing, love her beautiful voice! 

David was up there helping with everything the entire show as well as MCing! He's a hard working man! 


Here's the little babe herself, Aaliyah. All in all the entire night was great and she did such a great job performing! People were screaming for another song when she finished! 

She has some exciting things in the works coming up, watch out for her! Have a fabulous conference weekend! 

Xoxo

April showers



This happened today. 

Snow flakes. It's April. I'm not even mad. It was light, fluffy, and happy. A beautiful little snow flutter landing on my face. The end.
