Cooper Family

Well what a week!  Keri was amazing, gorgeous, mature but heartbroken that most everyone made life HELL on her.  We knew the job was tough when she took it.  Those others should be ashamed.  I feel braggy about my daughter when I always say they are jealous.  She can sing, dance, lead, play many sports very well, she  is sweet, nice to people, she's  pretty and smart.  What's not to be jealous of?  BUT there are a lot of people like that.  She's not held up on a pedestal.  She is an easy target.  She is sensitive and has a soft place in her heart for the underdog.  She is a pleaser and doesn't have a mean bone in her body.  I am so proud of the way she has grown and matured this past year.  When I saw her interview with the McClennen dance director, I was amazed that this was my kid.  WOW.  And she did get a lot of positive attention for her singing.  Most everyone was surprised that she could sing
.  I am glad that this is over and am looking forward to seeing her dance with McLennen.  Well she's upset because a fifteen year old sumo boy posted on facebook that he hoped the vocal performance didn't sound like a dying animal.  Well his FACE looks like that of a dying animal that was run over by a mack truck.  How's that?  OK, I am so mature but my daughter had a screaming fit over that comment and I don't appreciate it.

 Here's my baby after the show and standing in front of the senior table.  That's her framed picture next to her.  Much of what they do is tradition and rumor has it that several traditions will be stopped.  I guess our new Belle director wants to make this job hers.  We were lucky to get a slide show this year. Oh the slide show. I don't want to ever see it ever again, I will say that.  That slide show was a pain in the rear end.  It took up too much time and way way too much stress and mental health points.  It's amazing I didn't have a heart attack.  I needed a couple of hours of tech help on both nights.  We really cut it close last night.  UGH!

 Serena almost thinks that my girls are her sisters.  She LOVED the show and participated in it herself.  She was so cute!  Matt got part of it on video.

 I can't believe this is the last time I will see my baby in her white uniform.  She deserves those flowers. And you can tell how much we all love her here in this picture.

We were very lucky for the Miller girls to come see her.  I think 
they loved the show.  Keri was thrilled for them to be there.  Thank you Theresa and girls!
