"I've Never Heard Angels...But I Heard You"

This was a response from a sweet sweet lady in a Relief Society class in Salt Lake City. We went to sing Owen Clark's arrangement of "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" for a friend of the family teaching the lesson a couple of months ago. It was such a great lesson and we felt so privileged to be a part of it.

Afterwards, a woman came up to us and, through tearful eyes said, "I've never heard Angels sing before, but I heard you today. This is my first time back to church after several years and I felt the spirit when you sang. You truly sounded like angels." As Ann embraced this woman, welcoming her back, you could feel the bonds of sisterhood reaching out in every way throughout the room. These are the experiences that help define the rewarding feeling we get when we share our talents with whomever will listen. Thank You.

60th Birthday Party Performance

Karen, Ann, and Nikki had to pull a program together within a week after Megan had a child in the hospital with RSV. We were going to cancel, but the family still wanted us to come and sing anyway. So Ann sang, "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera and was phenomenal! Her vocals at the end surprised everyone. Karen sang, "Oh Danny Boy" which is an old time favorite. I mean, who doesn't love that song? And Nikki sang "Popular" from the musical Wicked; hamming it up and getting some histerical laughs from the audience. We hope they had as much fun as we did!

There's no place like home - these shoes weren't the actual thing, but they were so characteristic of "Popular" we just had to have Nikki wear them.

"Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters." Thanks, Ann, for the outfits that seemed to go perfectly with the theme of the song: "Caring, sharing, every little thing that we are wearing." Literally. :)

"She wore the dress and I stayed home." Who knew we could make such silly faces while we were singing? Maybe that's why this song was such a hit. Ann played the piano for Karen & Nikki, so it was a really exciting collaberation.

Harlem Globe Trotters 2005

We thought we'd share some photos from a really fun experience we had almost three years ago!

On the Utah radio show, B98.7 FM,

Todd & Erin had a "Star Spangled Idol" Contest.

Listeners would call in and sing the National Anthem,

and once the five finalists were chosen,

the public would call in to vote for their favorite.

The winner with the most votes, got awarded to sing at the Harlem Globe Trotter's Game on February 14, 2005 at the Delta Center

(Now, the Energy Solutions Arena).

Well, needless to say, we called in and sang, and were told that it was a unanymous landslide of votes that awarded us the priviledge of singing the National Anthem at the game and a song at Half-Time.

It was so much fun and you may not be able to tell in the pictures, but two of us were pregnant, and two of us were not. Enjoy!

(If you want to hear the radio broadcast of our competition, our reaction to winning and us singing on the radio, click on the link below.)

P.S. Don't worry, it starts out with the other contestants singing, keep listening and you'll hear us.

Thank you, Digital Media Exceleron, for recording the broadcast!

Ann, Nikki, Megan (8 months pregnant) & Karen (4 months pregnant)

It was fun to have family there supporting us. Thanks everyone!

Karen on the Jumbo Tron. So professional.

Nikki on the Jumbo Tron.

We swear it was fun, despite the look on her face.

Maybe this is when we sing "someone's gonna be kissed."

Cute, cute Ann on the foier of the Delta Center.

Thanks, Grandma Hillier for dressing us so fashionably.

Sleigh Bells Ring, Are You Listenin'?

This is our busiest and favorite time of year to perform.

We love the Christmas music and having the opportunity to be

together so often during this wonderful season.

See the empty table in the background of this picture?

We didn't eat until after our performance so our table

was the only one in the whole cultural hall, and you know what?

The food was delicious even though it was cold.

(we were so hungry we didn't want to wait to heat them up)

And afterward, we couldn't let them clean up our lone table.

We do our own dirty work.

Ann even hauled away the table in high heels!

Can you say Cheeeeeeeezz?

We Did it!

We finally recorded a few songs for a Demo Cd and wanted you all to be the first to hear them! Go to the side bar titled "Listen" and click on the link of the song you'd like to hear. We hope you enjoy! Email us and tell us what you think.

Spur of The Moment

Yes, yes. We get asked to sing on the spot

all the time, everywhere we go.

Even at Bridal Showers of all places.

This was a few years ago at Nikki's Bridal shower

and it was such a unanymous request

that two cameras snapped pictures.

Here are the memories they captured.

Back In The Day...

Here is a newspaper clipping from way back

when we were first recognized for our jazzy performances.

Both of these clippings were aimed at paying homage

to our personal musical arranger.

Love you Grandpa!

This newspaper photo was taken right after we had won a

Talent Find Competition where we were awarded $500.

We ended our performance that night with

a new arrangement of "God Bless America"

with new lyrics that honored those who passed

in the September 11th tragedy.
