Ani Trone

This was another great performance, that I think made the final two Phil and Joshua. I don’t think Jessica has the maturity to win this show as a performer, she can sing her brains out, but  performance wise the boys have it and it should be either one for the win.

This performance of Bob Seger’s “We’ve Got the Night” was an awesome choice by Jimmy Iovine and showed such great vulnerability for a young guy, big fan of this kids.

Okay I gotta admit I have no idea who Madcon is which is okay by me, but I do know who Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are and Phil’s performance of their song “Beggin” was so awesome he should add it on his first album, as a matter of fact he should have an album release of all his Idol performances while we wait for the release of his album of original songs!

So proud of my lil cousin (on the right) for standing up for our freedoms and what he believes in!

Christina’s Version

Juliet’s Version

Personally I think Christina’s version was amazing for her style, but Juliet Simms quite possibly has the best voice I’ve ever heard.

To me it is just so rare, unique and orchestral to listen too, I just really really think this girl deserves her place in music with such a fantastic instrument!

This song has been stuck in my head all day, I only heard the Goytee original version a gazillion times but the voices playing back in my head are Phil and Elise’s from their performance on AI.

The twins came by for a visit today and we decided it would be a great day for them to ride the horses since they haven’t ridden since last summer. They did all the pbstacles in the round pen and then moved on to the outside pasture and did the poles.

I didnt get any of them working the horses through the pole bending exercise since I was on Cimarron but I did get some random shots of them each on Rain, Cimarron and Bucky.

They probably would have ridden Indy too but we had just returned from a long trail ride when they arrived at the ranch.

BTW, they learned to ride bareback for the first time today too.

And here are some quick snaps of Cimarron and Rain after today’s workout lessons. I cant believe how big they both have grown in just the last 2 years.

Some random shots of my lil guy, the color portrait is from this week and the b&w is from 2010, he literally hasn’t grown much since then but I do believe he has gotten cuter!
