Trevi Wins Talent Show!

I’ve been waiting for this day for awhile now.  Today is not only Trevi’s 8th birthday, but this is also the day she gave me permission to put some videos of her singing online.  About a year ago, she told me to wait until she turned 8 before I could make her songs available online.  🙂

On June 3, 2010, Trevi won the Fremont School (K-8th grade) Talent Show! She wrote the lyrics to this song which is called “A Peaceful Day.”

For all of you Trevi “fans” (i.e., grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends), here are a few more songs to enjoy:

Some of My Favorite Recent Tweets

Discovered that Chuck Norris doesn’t need Twitter. He’s already following you. (Via @HankFortener)

“There are only 2 things I can’t stand… People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures & the Dutch.” – Nigel Powers

Heard Debbie refer to “Kirk Johnson” as the Lakers coach. I reminded her that his name is actually “Phil Jackson.” So close! 🙂

Debbie’s so bad with details. She said: “Caleb let the hat out of the box.” She meant to say: “Caleb let the cat out of the bag.” So cute!

Today’s successes can lead to tomorrow’s failures. – theme of “The Innovator’s Dilemma” by Harvard prof. Christensen

“Pedro offers you his protection.” – Napolean Dynamite

Heard Trevi say: “I want to chit chat, but I don’t know what to say.” After we laughed, she said: “Seriously. What should I say?”

Stephen Colbert to Tom Hanks: “Since u are a fake WWII & Vietnam War vet, I have tremendous imaginary respect for you.”

Trevi asked when I return from work. I told her 6:30pm which is in 11 hrs. She then asked: “How many Spongebob shows is that?” It’s 22. 🙂

Trevi’s 7th Birthday!

trevis-funny-face-dodgersI cannot believe my little Trevi turned 7 years old yesterday!

I remember when she used to look exactly like Spongebob Squarepants (blue eyes, big smile, with a gap between the teeth).

I love the way she is so dramatic!  After almost every present she would declare: “That’s the prettiest headband I’ve ever seen” or “That’s the greatest gift I’ve ever gotten (about a wallet).”

She is still a passionate little girl, but now, more and more, she has been using her powers for good.  She made a meal for me and Debbie the other day at “The Trevi Cafe” which included apple sauce, granola bar, and a cup of water.

We are so grateful to have this little girl in our lives!
