Karaoke


There are three Featherstone birthdays in March: Jon, his brother Luke and his mom Marianne. Jon found a sweet Karaoke software a few weeks ago and decided to put some songs together so we could sing our hearts out at the family birthday party. Jon is a genius and figured out how to run this software (which was free). The cool part about it is you can use any song you want on this software. Jon spent hours the week before going through each of the favorite songs his family chose, marking the syllables, syncronizing the lyrics with the music, and getting everything ready. I'm telling you, all the work paid off BIG time. Just check out these videos and pics to see just how much fun we had. (As a side note, one of the first dates Jon took me on was to a Korean Karaoke Bar....hehehhe. Honestly, this is going to sound sappy, I realized I was falling in love with him when he sang the song "Africa" that he and his family are singing in the video above). You will notice that Em was also getting into it with all her dance moves!





A special dance move by Kate and Jama


















Jon and his parents sang a classic song by Simon and Garfunkel "Only Living Boy in New York." They sounded awesome.


















Oh yeah, rocking out to Anberlin's "A Whisper and a Clamor."


















Jon and I sang one of our favorite songs by Angels and Airwaves "Secret Crowds."



















Joe, Luke, Jon and Kate Singing their hearts out to "Africa"



















Jon Bon was a nickname his family called him when he was little. I liked it and decided it would cover his entire cake!


















There are always plenty of cakes during the month of March in the Feathie household. Here Em is helping them all blow out their candles on the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake....a tradition for Luke's bday. Yum yum. I hope the tradition never stops! Em couldn't get enough cake either. And yes, she doesn't have a diaper on in this picture and was completely wired after eating cake. I love life with little kids!



Lastly, an amazing dance performance to Muse's "Supermassive Blackholes" (and yes a few of those dancing to this song are madly in love with Edward Cullen)



The Marsden family birthday month is in April so we've decided that we have to do this at one of the bday parties...YEAH
