If you look in my previous posts, you'll see one taking about how my family makes family movies. Now you finally have a video to see of it! Although this is just pretty much pictures to music, and we couldn't get the actual movie to upload to youtube, at least you get to see the basic idea. We shot our first one three years ago called "SAVE THE FARM" then one last year called "RIVERVEIW HARVEST FESTIVAL" and this years was not named yet:-) it premieres in the spring of 2015 One of the favorite things we like to do as a family is tie the movie around the holidays and celebrate it together as a family. This movie my Mississippi family arrived an got to spend thanksgiving with us! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT8T8HGkCF4

Another fun Christmas performance behind us as we settle in for the holidays! At the Stained Glass Theater, my sisters and I participated for the pre-show on Thursday, december 4. It definitely took lots of hard work and practice. As the director said to us, "Practice does not make perfect. You could practice for something the whole year long but if you don't have a good practice then all the practices were not worth anything. Good practice is what makes perfect!" We practice for about 3 weeks and it all paid off in the end! But we didn't just GET there... First there was deciding if we were going to do it. Then practicing. Then auditioning. Then getting excepted. Then more practice. Then sound checks. T hen performance!!! Click below to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2qTJywTJc0

A special thank you to teams 1 & 2 for Its True's fall performance (last night at Ozark Dance Academy! ) We appreciate your hard work and effort this season! We look forward to seeing you next semester! Click below to watch our dances: WATCH HERE!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=459_9g4GhQI For those of you who aren't in Its True, let me explain where this all started;   In ancient times, (two years ago) Candice Gibbons, Chez Caudill, and Kelly Gibbons longed for a hip hop dance team that was appropriate, affordable, and close by. That's when it struck Candice that she could start their own dance team right there in Ozark! Of course, there were concerns like where to preform, where to meet, and how much it would cost them. after nights of hard work, Chez and Kelly came up with the name and slogan " Its True...God is legit and we all know it", and Candice wrote forms for the parents to fill out while she was figuring out the teams colors (in the v...

Ever since i was young, my sisters and i loved to preform and make up skits, wherever, whenever we could! Almost every night we would put on some sort of costume and show mom and dad how much we enjoyed it. It wasn't long before we were put in our church choir, drama class, and dance. Now we are currently about to preform at the Stained Glass Theater pre-show this Thursday night! It shows me that when you work hard and do your best (and let God do the rest) you can accomplish anything!! So how do you get to a big goal in a short time period???? Step one: find out what your'e good at and work your very best on improving it. Step two: Get into a program/sport/activity that will improve your gift set on a regular daily/weekly basis. Step three: See what happens! By putting yourself out there you don't just give out flyers saying to let your be apart of something, but by trying out at the orchestra program -etc, you are setting yourself up to win. Who knows what God has...

Hey girls! This is a link to a video explaining the topic of listening to others. Its easy to blow  someone off without  realizing it and going you own way, but that could end in failure. This video  was made by Candice, Ryan, Kelly, Bria, Hannah, and Allison gibbons down at m grandparents farm.   If you have any siblings, then maybe you would like to show this to them too!! This video is of kids,  made by kids! Enjoy!  A lesson in Listening To Others

"Alabama and Alaska, Arizona Arkansas-..." the list goes on in this sight and sound-felt- video! Watch Candice as she sings her states!!  When you're bored or need ideas, always try to make a new song for you or your family! Although, i am lip-syncing to this, it is fun to pretend and, it has helped me learn my states! There are more educational videos headed your way soon! So, sing along and learn @ home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AplKL5l4Gow

Hi Girls! Do any of you want to travel somewhere in the world that's a foreign country? I sure do! Ever since I was little I dreamed of going to Italy to get married and maybe even living there. I knew it wasn't realistic, especially since my dad said if I wanted him to actually attend my wedding it had to be in America! Even if I never venture out to Rome, I at least like eating and cooking with their food styles!  In this video, I am pretending to be an Italian chef cooking in my decked out italian kitchen!!! Although this recipe is not all italian, I enjoyed pretending it was! You too can use your imagination in your free time...even if you are not homeschooled everyday you can imagine something, pretend something, play or write.  Enjoy!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdBtqirZXuY&list=UUPqLIi1v2TYH3WHoCydnfuw&index=1

Hey friends! I would like to encourage everyone to learn a foreign language...just like the Australian Candice said! It will enlarge your mind and expand your brain. Enjoy your schoolwork because you never know when you may need it!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr-zxneE45Q&list=UUPqLIi1v2TYH3WHoCydnfuw&index=6

The Bible teaches us to honor the elderly that have lived longer than us and know more than us. Having time to be with older people can be great but it can also be hard to connect. I have hope! Check out this Candid Candice video with some tips on interacting with your grand or great-grand parents or someone else you know that is older. CLICK HERE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNYVLrgniBI  And remember... MAKE TIME FOR OLDER PEOPLE!

Ever feel like you don't want to brush your teeth? Well , my philosophy is to MAKE IT FUN! I made this video after I went to the dentist so I would appreciate my toothbrush! Since God made our bodies, we should take care of them. It's like telling God, "I appreciate what you made and will care for it!" But when we don't brush our teeth it's like saying, "I don't care about what God made!" Plus, we only get one set of big-person teeth so we better take care of them so they last for the next 70 years!! HAPPY BRUSHING! Click here for a Candid Candice video!  http://youtu.be/LY5TbQDtiKA

http://studentblogs.le.ac.uk/bioscience/files/2013/10/friends-fingers.jpg In our lives, there are many different kinds of friends. Some might be loud, bossy, or way too mild, while others just don't workout for you. in this post, I will be sharing to you how you can FIND friends. Then, in the next post, I'll blog about how to BREAK UP unhealthy friendships. Then, at the end I will share how YOU can be a good friend! How to FIND: Some people think that you can attract friends by having or wearing stuff, which (this may surprise you) they can! But they wouldn't be real friends. so, how can you find REAL FRIENDS that aren't just with you for the ride of just having the cool sibling? Here are a few simple steps to finding if they are LEGIT;  First, see there outlook. that may sound a little cheesy at first, because it totally seems like even a preschooler would know that! But in a serious way, its true. See if they're taking care of their bodies and if...

Because there is such a word as bored, we have to learn how to keep ourselves from not falling into that trap! Try doing things you're good at......soccer, music, art, fitness, etc. My sister Kelly and I made a music video because we were falling in the, "I don't know what to do" kind of attitude. Although its not that choreographed, I thought I should share it with you to inspire you to enjoy YOUR talent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy_NwuV7uJM

Ok, so have you ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed? I have! But thankfully, I thought of some solutions to this worldwide tragedy... Here's a situation that you could maybe relate to: 6:09 : "Time to wake up!" Your mom protests as you sit up in you bed with your bunny pajamas and slippers. 6:10 : You act like a zombie as you climb down your bunk bed ladder and walk to your closet. As you look through your closet you just so happen to 'notice' you have 'no' clothes. But the bus is almost here!!!! 6:20 : You're still looking in your closet. Nothing looks good! You either wore that yesterday, the day before, or its just in your laundry basket. But wait. There's hope. People in Haiti don't even have  two outfits. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! You just want to crawl back in bed but you can't! Your feet are glued to the floor. Your eyes are glued inside your warm, comfortable, eye lids. Your head is spinning in slow motions over, a...

Do you think church or God is boring?! NO WAY! God is exciting and so is being a part of His church!  This is a highlight video I made on my own over a few weeks! I am learning how to use my interest and ability to be a part of what God is doing!  The video is from my grandparent's church called Hope Church in Springfield, MO. I attended there on Wednesday nights and these are clips from some of our events. You will even see Kelly Grace and Bria singing!  Going to church isn't just an activity like a social event or sport. It's a place we grow in wisdom. It's life-giving and God wants us to love being with other kids that love Him or helping kids that don't know Him yet.  We can learn more about God and have a blast too! My dad even loves encouraging people in a message about how the Church is a place of hope and healing. And it really is!  So the next time you are thinking you don't want to go to church or maybe you are an adult that doesn't w...

Do you have a dream? Is it hard to imagine it becoming a reality? Don't worry!  Just start with what you have in front of you! Just take it one step at a time and do what you can. This is my epic silly video but really its symbolic of my desire to make films! I can't make a full movie today but I can do a music video to brighten your day!  So, just do what you can with what you have and things will grow in time. Enjoy!

http://youtu.be/Sx4V4cCu-vo There is never a dull moment in our house!!! You girls have to see this of my sister Allison who was dancing then completely fell and we all laughed!!! Sometimes things happen in life that could be embarrassing but if you do like Allison and laugh it off instead of throwing a fit it becomes fun for everyone! Try to remember that next time you have an incident happen! 

"Why did Christmas go by so fast this year?" I say to myself. To my surprise just like last year and the year before 2013x it has been one day of fun. One day of food family and presents.  It's not my presents are not any bigger but maybe it could be my perspective. Sometimes it seems I have things in perspective.    Sometimes you might rush by something and want to try it again and see it differently. Honestly and truly most things in life you can't go back and try it or do it again. So how can you make up for a mistake or the big picture, you can either learn from it and try it again, or you can moan and groan on the floor and talk to your pet. My point being there is something bigger than losing the childhood feeling at Christmas or your event happening differently than you thought. This is going to be on Judgment day when you need to be ready for being judged. Your perspective on Christianity and Christ will come to a test- and your perspective of the Chru...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxPAfREMBi4      Hello everyone! This is Kelcey (short for Kelly Grace or as my family says, "Kelly Gracey"). Today I have a sore throat and a headache. I hope that you are doing well though. I have played so much out in the snow I think I came down with something.  If you are sick or ever get sick in the future this video offers some practical tips!    Most of all, PRAY! God will hear you and heal you! He may use some vitamins, herbs, water, and rest but ultimately He is the healer of us all! So pray hard then take care of your body! Also, as a bonus video, I have included some more laughs from my sisters since laughter is good like a medicine too! Much love and health to you all~Kelcey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avioRhfvDoE

You never know when a tragic event such as snowed in at home with a fire and Christmas movies will come. Actually in the moment I am living it up with a foot of snow in my backyard. Eating pumpkin bread or doing an art project can be refreshing after a busy week of busy days which have been leading up to busy hours then busy minutes and seconds:-) You might be snowed in your 'inn' as well and looking for something to do! Here are some ideas to help you be productive wherever you are in the world! 1. Make an exercise sheet and work out using soup cans for weights, or jumping on your bed! 2. Write a story about The Girl Who Got Snowed In. 3. Play Girl Lost In Snow outside using your dirty coat pretending you're poor with no home. 4. Write a letter to one of your close friends explaining how you feel a close connection with the snow. 5. Dress up your dolls or pets and play a game. 6. Keep commenting on trendsettergirls and Candice will write back-I am Candice:-0 7....
