Spring Getaway

June 2nd, 2011

Where to, you ask?

To see the new baby, of course! And while we were there, we thought we might as well say hi to Jonathan’s parents and siblings… :)

I think we chose one the hottest days of the year to go to Virginia and see family, but other than the heat and heavy traffic on the way up, our trip was perfect! Mommy and baby are doing very well – baby is never without a pair of loving arms to hold him. It would be the same for you too if you were the youngest of 9 children and had several adoring aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends waiting their turn! Trust me.

As always, pictures can tell a story better than I can, so browse through them and enjoy!

Family is one of the greatest gifts God gives us, and I’m so thankful for mine. Have a blessed day!

Studio Days

April 30th, 2011

Yep, we’re back in the studio again! That may be the reason for our absence on the blog lately…

Making a CD takes lots of work, lots of time, and lots of music practices, but we’re having a blast! It’s been great working with our friends at Windrush Productions again for our second project. We’re about halfway through the recording process before we get to take a break while our sound engineer mixes, and…well, engineers. :-)

~Nate, our “Mr. Bass Man”

~Walter, our main songwriter, singer and leader. Go, bro!

~One of my favorite places to be…playing the piano.

~Angie, putting down violin tracks in the ‘isolation chamber’ (also one of my favorite places to be :-) ).

~We’re blessed to have our friend and awesome drummer, Jeremy, join us for this project! Thank you so much, Jeremy!

Be looking for a release this summer – it’s going to be good. At least, we think so! :-D

~Kasie, for the Willi

~Apparently David and I didn’t get the memo that this was not suppose to be a silly picture.

‘My bad. :-D

More pictures from recent activities coming soon!

That’s About the Size Of It!

November 16th, 2010

My life over the past few weekends…

“Your Majesty, I beg to put before you loving friends…”  (and yes, that is a line from the King and I! Expect these to slip in frequently when conversing with my family…)  :-)

The one time you see Nate out on stage, not including curtain call. :-)

Silliness!

Walter sings his chant…

Dear friends who came to see the show:

“I wonder if you know what you might be facing ma’am: an Englishwoman, here in the East!”

Cast photos, and more and more cast photos…

And lastly, the set strike.

What an incredible experience!

The King and I: Opening Weekend

November 10th, 2010


~Will and Angie, as the King and Anna

The King and I has been going full swing, and us with it! I almost feel as if the theater has become a second home, we’re there so often. :-)   Opening weekend went great! One of my favorite parts about live theater is that every performance is unique, especially with the differences that come with each audience. It certainly keeps you on your toes! But with each night we performed last week, the feedback was very favorable; everyone loved it! We’re shooting for a sellout this weekend!

Although several of our readers have probably already seen pictures from Facebook, here are some from our personal camera. Or, in other words, “this is Kasie, going from person to person, taking pictures all over the theater, backstage, and with her cast friends.”

:-D Either way, enjoy!

After our opening night performance and Angie and I made our way to the lobby to greet the guests, we were each surprised with a bouquet of a dozen red roses from Nate and Walter!

I think we have the sweetest brothers ever!

Here’s a job well done to all the cast and stage/tech/costume/helper crew, and looking forward to four more performances this weekend! Have a fabulous day, etc, etc, etc! :-)

Photoshoot Sneak Peak and Outtakes

October 19th, 2010

Our band pictures have needed an update for a long time, but it wasn’t until last week that we actually had an official shoot!

It was a fun day, and we got a lot of great shots! We ended up with over 2000 photos, but I’ll only post a handful.

So here you have it; the first look at our photo shoot, unedited with outtakes and all. :-) Enjoy!

Many thanks to our ever patient, ever helpful photographer and gracious hosts! (that taco soup really was delicious!) You guys are awesome.

So be looking for a website makeover in the near future…once we’ve sorted through and edited this mountain of pictures we have. :-) Have a blessed day!

The Willi at Fall Festivals

October 12th, 2010

For the past several weekends, TheWilli have kept busy playing at different fall festivals, concerts and churches. It’s been a blast! Check out our pictures from last week’s Fall Festival of Nations:

“Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.”

Church Work/Garage Sale Day

August 19th, 2010

Our church is moving! The Lord has blessed us with the opportunity to rent for a low cost, but, the building needs some work and heavy duty cleaning. So, in preparation to move in by the end of the month, we held a garage sale to get rid of a lot of “stuff”, and also got to work on the interior!

It’s amazing how early “garage-sale-goers” arrive!  Ours began at 8 AM, but people were showing up before we did!

~the inside

Happy sellers!

Smiling Faces

Work time!

And break time.  :-)

A bit of humor and silliness;

~playing around with the letter stickers (inside joke with this one!)

A successful morning!

The Museum

July 14th, 2010

A science museum, to be exact!  Those are always a lot of fun. :-)

One morning,  a couple weeks ago, we met up with a group of friends to go on a field trip together. It was an all-day outing, including our self guided museum tour, a dinner at Subway, and capping it off at the movie theater watching Toy Story3! (a great movie, by the way! we all loved it, especially since we grew up with the previous two Toy Story movies). We had a great time!

I wish I could be back in that climate controlled, extra cooled museum now; it’s super hot outside! Summer is here!

Jamestown Reunion!

June 27th, 2010

We didn’t win the gold in the Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt 3 years ago (has it really been that long?), but we always say that the treasure we found was in friends. We know families from all over the country who we’ve only seen once or twice, or only kept in touch online, but we can still get together for a reunion and have a blast together!

Isn’t the family of God so wonderful? I don’t any of us foresaw all these friendships down the road when we first embarked on the hunt with simple catalog clues. It just blows me away!

Anyway, a few of us got together yesterday in northern Georgia for a reunion. We had families from Tennessee, Ohio, Washington, Georgia and South Carolina – it was awesome! We discovered that many of us liked to dance, and within a few minutes a CD had been put on, the furniture moved, and away we went! We played lots of games, fellowshipped over a delicious meal, laughed, talked and reminisced about our treasure hunting days. :-)

It was a wonderful afternoon and evening. We didn’t get home until 2 AM! We must’ve been having fun.

Here are the pictures we took of our day trip!
