My favorite time of year!!!


This is the best time of year for many reasons. The snow is melting and the life is coming back to the earth around me... it's beautiful. March madness is in full swing and that means a lot of basketball which couldn't make me happier. It's also time for American Idol! Sweet! I have loved watching this show for the last, oh, 6 years or so...
could that be right?
Wow.
Time flies.
Anyway... The year that Carie Underwood took the title was the best year to date. My dad LOVED her, still loves her actually, and called her as the winner when he saw her audition in whatever city it was she auditioned in. He is very proud of this and has tried to call the winner ever since but claims no one will ever match the acclaimed Ms. Underwood.
Well, the next year I decided it would be fun to create a bracket for American Idol so all of us who watch religiously can have a little added fun. This is very similar to the brackets a lot of us fill out for March Madness. (As you can see I really love this time of year!) There is a group of family members who get together on Monday nights at my parents house for FHE and they have been playing along with me since I started this whole thing and I decided it was time to share it with the rest of you!
I have posted the bracket for you to print. Feel free to have your own contests among your friends or family. If you would like to join in with my group just email me your completed bracket Tuesday at Midnight.

Each year we start the guessing game with the top ten. This gives people who don't watch eliminations up to the top 12 one week to see the contestants sing, decide their favorites and cast their votes. Let's have some fun! There are some good prizes in store for the winner!
Oh, ps... a point is alloted to every contestant you get right each week of the compitition! Gotta love this time of year!!!
