2012 Interview with the Kids.

On my best friend's blog she had posted interviews with her daughters and I thought it was so cute I had to copy the idea. What better way to capture who they are and what they want to be at this point in their lives than to simply ASK THEM? I have left answers UNEDITED! Here goes.....

What a great idea! You guys have the cutest little family. I wish there was a video of Tracy doing his hip hop. Maybe he can show us some of his moves in primary!

such a cute idea! it was fun getting to know your kids better this way, too. i am definitley going to have to do this if i ever catch up on my blog. it seems we are finding out what it's like to have a little boy after two girls while you are just the opposite. both worlds are so different but so fun, too.
