Alison says:
You guys are brilliant. Think your Dad Heather has missed his vocation in life. Should have been an actor!!
Love the way Annabel coos at the fireworks.
Crystal says:
Absolutely adorable! Great job Annabel! I just love your videos!
Melanie says:
So cute!
Aunt to Another Maddy says:
Love the way the whole family piles in to help out!
Denise says:
You guys crack me up
Amanda M. says:
Please try to be a little more dorky.
I just… I just want to see if it’s humanly possible.
LOLOL
Desiree says:
That was freaking CUTE! I love hoping over here on fridays to see what funny video you have up!
keep up the great work! Annabel is a HUGE star!
Becca_Masters says:
HA HA HA!!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!
that video was so awesome.
I woke up today in a really horrible mood, and you guys have just totally made my day! thanks!
Betsy says:
You two are a riot and Annie is absolutely fabulous!
Carrie P. says:
You… I mean ANNABELl is a good singer! She’s so adorable and I love her cute, chubby cheeks! What a fun family you have. Love it!
J in eire says:
Just watched this -several times – with my 9 yr old daughter, she loves it and just thinks Annie is THE cutest baby ever. We love the hot dog eating contest with Annie looking adorable covered in sauce … Soooo funny. Fantastic to see all the family involved, easy to see why Maddie picked you guys to spend her lifetime with. You truly honour her by living and not just merely existing.
Sarah M. (Travel Mommy) says:
Your family is fantastic. Should totally become actors (if they aren’t already).
I’m still a bit in shock that every single one of them agreed to be in it! I have enough trouble getting my family to do that, and they really ARE actors!
Are you entering the oscar race?
Kate @ UpsideBackwards says:
That is so cool! I love how she does all her own stunts The look on her face for the fireworks is a classic.
And Heather – great singing!
Katrina says:
I think it’s so great that you are doing these cute videos — what fun Annabel will have when she’s older, watching all the funny stunts and hearing the “voice-overs” for herself and Rigby, and just the imagination and fun in it all. I can see her showing these videos to her own children one day Maybe by that time you and Mike will have made a full-featured film, who knows!
I thought Uncle Kyle was halarious …how he threw his hot dog when he lost the contest. So funny! Your family is great!
thurieyyah says:
Happy Foruth of July ANNABEL… I love it that the whole family enjoys making these videos!
Savannah says:
Some notes:
(1) Heather, er, I mean Annabel, you missed your calling as a singer–what a voice!
(2) Mike cracks me up with his facial expressions! You can tell he loves it!
(3) Love that the rest of the family is in on it!
(4) Rugby’s bikini? Sexy!
(5) Rugby’s floating without his bikini bottom? Scandalous…
(6) I wuv Annabel, cutest baby eva!
(6) One last note– girlfriend, your family is full of some good lookin’ menfolks. =)
Lisa says:
You guys are so creative–love it! Thanks for the Friday morning treat.
Patt says:
Pleasantly impressed with that beautiful singing voice Annabel! When is your audition for American Idol?
AmazingGreis says:
Yet another Friday masterpiece. Love it!!!
edenland says:
HEATHER SPOHR. Can I please be your agent? Please? Your voice is utterly amazing. Goosebump city. When do you cut an album? Do you write your own songs? Mate, I am a hit predictor … ask my sisters. I think I just discovered you. You’re a superstar. Do you have X-Factor there?? When are you auditioning for American Idol?? YOU WOULD WIN.
Wow.
Catherine Lucas says:
Looks like the male side of the family are eating pigglets…
Love the sequence with the ooh and aah on the fireworks…
Well done Annabel! Nice hot dog contest…
Catherine Lucas says:
The singing voice sounds like Rhema Marvanne, a seven or nine year old with a beautiful singing voice…
Catherine Lucas says:
Hard to tell who is singing, it could be Annabel… My hearing aid is not working today!
Summer says:
I loved it! She is so cute in her floaty! And Rigby’s bathing suit…excuse me…Rigby’s bikini is HOTT! Keep the videos coming!
Andrea says:
I check out your blog first thing in the morning, and I must say that watching this adorable video was the perfect way to start off my day. I could look at Annabel’s cute little chubby cheeks all day long. What a pumpkin!
jen says:
Adorable! My favorite part is when Uncle Kyle throws his hotdog in frustration because he didn’t win! HAHAHA
(((Hugs))) from here!
Karen says:
LOL…you guys are a riot! I love to see “happy” here.
Whitney says:
Hahah, that was too cute!
eliza says:
Um wait, you can sing too!?
Mary says:
LOVE THIS!
Miche says:
OMG You guys are too funny!
Jenny says:
Annabel already has the family on her movie payroll. Way to go, Annabel! What a little superstar!
Are you watching Big Brother? The new series just started last night. Whew hoo!
Sue says:
Oh,,,this was really great!!!!!
Carol says:
Love the single curl on top!
Kandi Ann says:
I haven’t read the comments yet, so, I will guess and say I am alone, (but secretly hope not-er not so secretly!) but I cried happy tears. This rocked. And Her voice, I wonder if we will all have crazy voice shock when she does her own or if she will sound eerily close to the voice you have given her? And I love fridays now. Never used to because being home 24/7 for the most part I got used to weeknight tv. now i cheer on fridays. Thanks for that!
angie says:
you guys are hilarious!!!
Christine says:
Wow. Your family members are such good sports. I’m pretty sure my father would look at me like I had grown a third eye if I asked him to star in such a production.
Lindsey says:
You guys are too stinkin creative!!! LOVE IT!!!
Mindy says:
Love, Love, Love the videos! Rigby always busts out a great part. Whether Rigby is in a boiling pot of water or sporting a two piece bikini, you can always count on Rigby for a good laugh! I can’t believe how good the singing was Heather! That was so impressive even in a baby voice. I think after hear that, Mike should let you sing at any concert you want!
Kelly says:
That was hilarious. A great way to start my Friday morning…
Lynn from For Love or Funny says:
Love this!
Porscha Is says:
omigosh that is the funniest and the cutest thing I ever saw. I love how your dad was even way into the hotdog eating contest. And I am so impressed that ‘Annabell’ is able to sing the whole anthem in her baby voice.
You guys are so much fun!
Elizabeth says:
So cute! And your voice is amazing.
Amy says:
That was the cutest darn thing………..
Mandi Bone says:
You make my daughters very happy with these Annabel videos.
Jen L. says:
BRILLIANT. (as usual)
Barnmaven says:
Way to SMOKE the competition on the hotdog eating contest, Annabel!
I especially loved your rendition of the star spangled banner. I predict agents will be knocking down your door with recording contracts!
Masterfully done guys, loved it!
Abby says:
HILARIOUS. Loved it!!!
java says:
That was awesome!
Loved the hot dog eating contest!
Great job!
Jocelyn says:
You guys are so funny! Great job!!
MBKimmy says:
Ya’ll are too funny! I love it!
Love that the entire family joined in without a hitch!
Thanks for sharing!
Dawn says:
Wow! Rigby is one stylin’ dog!
I’m curious to know if you guys plan these things ahead of time or if they just come to you on the spot and you get everyone involved… either way, I’m LOVING them!
…and I agree with Mindy, if that’s how you sing, Mike should have NO complaints at concerts!!
Deborah says:
I am, uh, IMPRESSED at how well Mike was able to shove that hot dog in his mouth. Wow. And I used to read Uncle Kyle on Defamer before I ever read this blog, so it’s kind of neat to see him “in the flesh,” so to speak.
GO ANNABEL! Those little chubby cheeks just slay me every time.
(((hugs)))
Lisa says:
That was so, so cute. Rigby looks adorable in a swimsuit
The Suburban Housewife says:
That was too cute! I love the end of the hot dog eating contest with Annie’s cheeks covered in ketchup and mustard. It’s great that the whole family got in on it too.
Shirley L says:
What a great way to start my day! My kids got a kick out of this video and now they won’t stop watching it!
Jenni Williams says:
I am pretty sure she should have her own tv show. I was shocked at how good her singing voice is
Heather and Mike you have to be the COOLEST parents ever.
cindy w says:
I was wondering how long it was going to be until “Unlce” Kyle made an appearance in one of these videos. That was awesome.
Rachel says:
You crack me up! I love it! Loved the guest appearances by St. Gramma and “Unlce Kyle”!
Lessons in Life and Light says:

I can’t pick my favorite part. Annie has a set of pipes, but I love the “ooooh, oooh” at the fireworks. Her face is priceless.
My not so favorite part, wet hotdog buns. OMG.

I’m pretty sure Annie needs to sing the anthem at a Dodger game.
Rebecca says:
HYSTERICAL!!! How in the heck do you get Rigby to stay on that raft.
I have to tell you I was feeling down today but after seeing this video I have such a huge smile on my face and all is right with the world. Thank you.
Ray says:
“That was nothing! Hey guys, pass me your leftovers.”
This was so adorable. Oh Annie, you do lead the glamarous life. Hehe. =P
P.S. Nice voice by the way Heather. ;o)
Heidi says:
Like everyone else, I thank you for making these adorable videos and sharing them with us. My kidlets LOVE them too and watch them over and over. Tristan just sees a picture of Annabel and says “Hey it’s the baby Amazing Annabel!!!” So cute!
Tami says:
That was so adorable! I loved the mustard on her little cheeks!!
Elle says:

Sarah M. says:
So much fun!! Oh & “annabel” has a really good voice!!
Snickrsnack Kate says:
This is just the cutest of all cute! Annabel will love these videos when she grows up! It reminds me of when I was growing up – we would play pretend all the time. The whole family would get in on it. We would do entire skits! But we were too poor for a video camera. LOL.
Love Rigby in the bikini!
One question i have been meaning to ask. Where did Rigby get a name like Rigby when she is a girl? Sounds boyish.
Snickrsnack Kate says:
Oh yeah, and Heather you have a GREAT voice!
Lindsay says:
LOVE IT.
And seriously dudes, Annabel’s singing voice actually distracted me from the cuteness.
Moira says:
Anabelle is an adorable cutie , but I think Rigby deserves her own show !
jen says:
you guys are soo awesome!! my kids have had so much fun watching this….over….and over….
Amy says:
That was awesome!! Thanks for making my day a little brighter!

Absolute beyond adorable – yay on the hotdog eating contest!!!
amanda says:
Um – that was BEYOND awesome. Loved it!!!
Noelle says:
Okay, she is the MOST PATRIOTIC baby EVER!

Lindsey says:
I don’t know what I laughed harder at, when you introduced Bampa, the look that the Uncle gave when he was introduced, or when Uncle threw the plate when he lost the contest. So funny!
Rach says:
My kids laugh and laugh when Mike says< "A little pitchy, Dawg, a little pitchy."
Now, I will have to view this video 100 more times, per their request.
Well done!
Sue says:
I love these videos! They crack me up.
Sarah says:
Very, very funny! Looks like she had a great time!
I agree with all of the above comments about the singing too – such a pleasant voice! Pretty amazing too that “Annabel” can hold her baby voice and the beautiful tone too.
MaNiC MoMMy says:
That was SOOOO cute! : )
Jessica says:
Heather, it’s funny that even in Annie’s voice, you can still sing really well! Great job guys! You guys are so fun!
