Um, that is me and my sister-in-law Lisa and MINDY GLEDHILL and Hailey.
(and occasionally my brother Topher)
They will all be performing next Monday.
Except, I will not.
Good news.
Put on a happy face . . .
p.s. seven points to you if you watch it more than once.
p.p.s thanks to Brett Merritt for the film work.

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know the hiatus wouldn't last too long! Glad to see you back and I loved the video. I watched it twice just for the 7 points! :)
Aren't you LOVERLY?!
Truly. Yes. Indeed!
That was ADORABLE. you all look like you're having so much fun!!
Frankly, I don't want to go to a concert where I can't watch you sing (because it's my favorite thing in the world.)
Maybe you could just walk around with a wireless mic?
cutie patooties, one and all.
please email me about the artwork i secured for Nie auction:)

Oh, dear, I just couldn't tell the difference between Mindy's singing and yours...which was was you again? :)
Loved it!
That is a really nice scarf.
And you hair, very nice hair.
Hey, you're singing wasn't so bad this time! ;) Don't be so hard on yourself, after all, you've got a beautiful smile! :)
For some reason, I clicked on your button and lo and behold an entry! What exactly do the points count for? Loved the clip and i wish Provo was closer to my neck of the woods, but alas, I have turned into a desert rat and venture north ONLY in the late spring, summer and most of the fall!
Oooh! I love points. Super Cute!
Loved it....wish I could come! You are all very lovely ladies and your brother so cute! How is one family so talanted. Some Hi8us!
yeah, um, what was that last post about a hiatus?? out the window, i see.
I ain't coming if you're not singing.
You are the cutest! Love your closeup at the beginning! I just met one of your mission companions, Natalie. Yup. My claim to fame.
Sending love from Idaho....
You look great!
Cannot freakin wait for the concert on Monday
3rd row can you believe it!
What if I ask for your autograph is that wierd? As long as I don't cut a lock of your hair to put under my pillow (or sale on e-bay) I'm still normal right?
Your family are like the Kennedy's with me and my sisters.
I love your blog and of course Nie-Nie
Don't worry, don't hire security. We will do the cool thing and act like we barely know who you are.
*dies laughing* That was too awesome!
That was great! And you're really cute. We'll be there!
Once was all I could take....but seriously, did you get hair extensions on your hi8us?
I'm thrilled Mindy is doing a concert here for nie (Mindy married my cousin) and I've been so touched by your families story! Thanks for letting us be a little part of it.
Thank you for posting your Thursday surprise as promised. I hope you're enjoying your Hi8us.
Loved the video!
What a bunch of noodles! Loved it! t.x
I'm so glad you made this. How many tries did it take?
Ok - when can I move in. Your house is so much more fun than mine.
ouch!!!!!{hug} It is only 6:30 in the morning here and altough it DID put a smile on my face I felt bad for my sleeping family becasue I had the sound turned up heheheheheheheee! Courtney you look marvelous by the way, I am jealous....I'll need to work on my appearance! Have a great day ~Hugs
That made me put on a happy face!:)
You make me smile cjane!
i love it :) thanx for sharing
Let me know when you will be performing in Chicago. I'll be there!
Shoot, you even sing???? YOU WIN!!! You can officially do everything. And, if I didn't live in far east Canada right now, I'd go to that play!
Are we seeing the results of a little added spice??? Great way to start my day! Thank you! Kathleen in FL
Omigosh. You are awesome.
There definitely WAS NOT a piece of paper with lyrics on the floor.
Will you be wearing your cleavage?
THAT.WAS.AWESOME! Wish I lived closer!!
Very cute and funny! I'll be wishing you guys all the best from Texas!
Do you have an amazon.com list?
Loved It!!
that was THE BEST thing to wake up to!!!!
TOO MUCH FUN! The little Chief is going to have one fantabulous childhood with a mom like you! =)
Perfect way to start my day~thanks! It's looks like you were having so much fun!!
You girls are too adorable!!!
c jane! What a great way to begin my day! I have my Happy Face on now to face the world! ;o)
LauraBeth
I whole heartedly agree with Azucar...the concert would be even better if you were singing Courtney.
The wireless mic isn't a bad idea...
I can hardly wait!
So, so cute! I would buy your CD!!! Keep the performances coming! We love them!!
That was marvelous!!!
I think Just Us thinks you are someone else. But Jooj loved it, even though "It kind of makes me ears sad. Can I watch again?"
Can I bid on a personal performance? I want you to do a special number for W's return...
that was the best performance I have seen in a LONG time!!
I don't laugh out loud much while I'm at work, but you totally made me do it. Thanks.
All of you are brave souls. :)
I love you Court :)
That was soooooo cute.
I wish that I was your friend - you crack me up!
I will watch this again, after the babies are fed and dressed! I need all the points I can get!
That was great! It put a big huge smile on my face. :)
I loved it!!!good job guys!!! I watched it 2 times also although I might watch it again this afternoon for a quick pick me up!!!!
your hair is getting long. holy cow.
i hope you perform at the show. that's the only reason i bought a ticket. may and i will be there.
I think next we need a C Jane concert. You have an amazing voice!
Loved the video. And I watched it more than once! ;)
That is so funny. You guys are great. I wish I was going on Monday.
It was really cute! Looks like you all have so much fun all the time! Enjoy the concert...wish I could be there, but I'm stuck in the deep south. Please tell Nie we're thinking about her!
Oh Clarky...make me smile again would you?
Ya knooooow...Super Bowl is here in Tampa this weekend...if ya'll want a gig in sunny Florida. Your ensemble would be WONDERFUL addition for the worldwide audience! (I think it actually gets broadcast on Mars, too, but don't quote me on that).
That really was a great 'show tune' presentation. You must have gotten lots of rest on that 45 minute Hi8US you took! Great work ladies (and gent)!
:D
That was SO cute!!! You are all such beautiful ladies! It's fun to see you all laughing and having fun and spreading joy to everyone around you! I sure needed a good laugh/smile today, so thank you for helping me out. =)
I can't wait to see the show- I've been looking forward to it ever since you announced it on your blog!
Cute, cute, cute! It put a smile on my grouchy, I'm on my way to work out face!! Thanks for cheering me up!
Y'all ROCK! You know, it's a good thing that Stephanie has so many people to laugh at, I mean with. It will help her healing along quite nicely ;)
Oh that was so refreshing and awesome. I have earned quite some points.
You are truly an amazing woman.
Suzy
How much fun!!!! Can I be adopted into your family? Pretty, pretty please?
I loved it and so did my 5 year old. Once it was over she signed (she doesn't speak because she has schizencephaly) more with a big smile on her face. So we have watched it more than once. :)
Absolutely loved it!! Hillarious!! And yes, I watched it more than once! Who woudnt...its Courtney on Broadway. lol
Well I definitely watched it twice. I loved that little tag you put on the end, cjane. Nice touch.
And I'm just thrilled that people are continuing on in the spirit of Bye Bye Birdie a la Dick van Dyke.
Do you guys take requests? Because I was hoping you could do "Going Steady" next?
Hilarious! Good job! Break a leg at the concert!!!!! Is that okay to say even if you're not acting/just singing?
BTW, enjoy your week off!
Joanne (Westchester,NY)
awesome!! thanks for the smiles this morning!
Ham bones...my favorite morning snack! So cute. Wish I could come. =(
You are awesome...I so want to meet you! Too bad I'm in KS!!!
courtney-do you do weddings????
I always enjoy hearing you sing, cjane! Thank you for sharing.
refreshing in ohio
dear sweet jane-
I am oh so happy that you reneged on your word to leave us high and dry for ONE WHOLE WEEK. You tell that silly husband of yours that you have obligations. I mean HOW am I to start my day without a little Jane Jane? I would be greasy haired and still in my bathrobe when the hubby returned from work at six pm and it would be all Chups fault. You tell him that.
How can I not smile when I watch that? I loved it!
And holy moly, your hair has grown! I love that too!!!!
That halo just keeps gettin' brighter and brighter *ting*!
there are no words. nicely done.
That was amazing...you should seriously consider taking your show on the road, I'd pay to see it!
ugh i love it.
Now that was something else! You guys could become the next chick band:)
It is wonderful to see you all having so much fun. Keep having happy faces! It is contagious!
This is random, I really wanted to share it with Stephanie but her comments are disabled.
I admire you and S so much, you are wonderful rolemodels as women and mothers to a young 26 yo like me!
My nephew Galon (rhymes with Talon) is 2 weeks old now. I am a nicknamer, and Gal just didn't fit. All of a sudden GIGS popped (ha, I typed pooped) into my head, and Gigs he is. I hope you don't mind my stealing it. It always brings a smile and prayer to my mind for you guys.
OK, there's nothing wrong with your voice! You are a brilliant performer!!! I wish I lived down there, I would definitely go to the concert!
(And I love Topher's hat, btw)
You were right it was marvelous! I loved it. You all look like you are having so much fun.
Court - your hair looks so cute! Love it.
Wish I could be there (though I for one would demand your performing too!)
xoxo
j.
cjane, I feel like it is cheating to ask you to give Nie a message on your blog, especially since I loved your blog first and best...but will you give her a kiss for me anyway? Thanks. Thinking of you both so much!
And you sing too! What don't you do?
You are lovely, Courtney!
I'm with Toph and venturing a guess that there was a cheat sheet on the floor. . .or some fantastic carpet!
Fabulous! Wish I could be there!
YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME! WISH WE LIVED CLOSER TO COME! HUGS FROM MAINE http://sophie4me.blogspot.com/S
GASP!!! Does Chup know you are blogging???
It put a smile on my face!
Remember the little singing montage at the beginning of "My Best Friend's Wedding"?
That girl learned all her tricks from you!
Awe. I cant see it :(
hey Topher! lyrics on the floor, huh? and was that a player piano? ;D
How FUN!! I loved watching...lol...even more than once!
Blessings:)
LOL
Ok, that was just too cute! What fun!
That was G.R.E.A.T. My kids even loved it with me. Bravo...encore, encore!
Made me smile!!
That my friend, just made me want to move to UT!
I hope the concert is a smashing sucess!!!
Sending lots of love from PA. :)
I see what a week of rest can do for a body. You were all great.
Hooray! I get 7 points!
COURTNEY'S BACK!!!! YAYYYY!!!! (Or maybe not? Maybe a hiatus from the hiatus? LOL) Anyway, I have to agree with the lady named Lisa that posted--can you guys come to Maine?? And also with the other person that posted and said to give Nie a kiss from her. Can you give her a hug from me too and tell her I am thinking of her and wishing her well. She sounds so overwhelmed (understandably so) that I wish I could just wave a magic wand and somehow make it all easier for her. But then I forget, you guys have already done that! You are all so fortunate to have each other! Hugs, Lori
Have you tried out for American Idol yet? That was great. Wish I could attend. When are you making a stop in Las Vegas?
You were right.
That was marvelous!
LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!! And 7 points to me !
NEXT, I would love to see you girls perform the song "Sisters" from White Christmas...you should take this on tour! Loved it :-)
Sooooo funnny. Wish I could fly in. My daughter is flying in from Texas so between you and her I will get all the news.
See you Monday! But if I don't actually get the chance to talk to you, LOVE your long hair! You're beautiful!
Hey, that's my cousin Hailey!
If I lived in the state, I would totally go!
Too cute-thanks for putting a smile on my face!
21 points for me! loved it....that was fun and great and made me smile! Thank you!
mmmm....spicy!! thanks for the smile! (and the 7 points! I watched it not once, twice...but THRICE. :-D
You all are nuts! I love the scarf. :) I wish I could be there for the concert!
*snort* and I mean that in a good, fun loving way!
You gals are too funny.
I just found you and your sister and I can't stop reading. Thanks for the inspiration.
Miss Courtney, I'm loving your longer tresses (as I am growing mine as well). We were meant to be ;)
Topher's stash creeps me out (but I still heart him).
It's pretty easy to get hooked on all the warm fuzzies you and Nie are emitting, plus all the back-up gang too. Keep it up! It keeps all the rest of us in happy grateful giggle land. It's cozy here. Best of luck with the concert!
Dear C-Jane,
Everyone is talented in their own special way. For example, Mindy can sing and you can WRITE...!
:)
Signed,
A fan of your writing
Oh my goodness, every time I look at your blog I smile. The other day I was reading it and laughing randomly and my husband said "what are you laughing at?" I told him it was your blog and that you are a nut. How can I relate so much to a total stranger? We are kindred spirits I am sure. Thank you for always being you and sharing it with all of us. You are a kick!!!
so i've heard of your blog and decided to meander on over this evening and lo and behold brett merritt's name ... i know brett from CSz Provo. and i'm well acquainted with the thrillionaires folks too.
yada yada ... quite the following you have here. i think i'll check it from time to time now!
and that's some impressive singing you got there ...
Courtney I want to thank you for putting this cheerful ear worm into me, because I am singing it all day long. Well not quite as good as you do (I really mean it, you sing so much better then I do, so I can't understand why are they not taking you with!!!:oD)
I was sad the other day now I am not, so thanks for chairing me up and brighten my Birthday. You gave me a great gift.
Smiles to you, Suzy
you should have tried out for American Idol, they did come to Salt Lake you know.
So fun! I wish I could be there, but I live in Vegas with no hopes of a quick getaway! Would Mindy consider offering autographed pics of herself for donations from those of us who can not make it to the concert but still would like to support the cause and enjoy Mindy too? I have donated to the Nie Nie fund, and will do it again. Mindy Gledhill is my son's number two all time favorite singer (U2 is his number 1) I would love to get a picture for him, but have been unsuccessful in my pursuits thus far. :)
I am speechless.
so vibrant and hilarious!!
Come on everyone...go to formerlyphread.blogspot.com and BID on those auction items. Even if you won't be at the concert, you might just win something. There's a lot of great stuff. Scads of it. Oodles, even.
BID!
You and your cohorts did indeed make me "put on a happy face"! Loved your brother's accompaniment!
what a bunch of cuties . . . topher too . . . that sure made me 'put on a happy face'!
FABULOUS!
-FringeGirl
Encore.
That is AWESOME!! So great. Wish i was close enoough to go to the concert, but I'll be there in spirit.
Nancy
this is so cute, i LOVE it!!!!
courtney, i love love love your blog and have long been a fan of nie nie. (in fact, i wrote the cookie house tour of stephanie's house last year, and my fiance alex williams wrote the new york times story.) anyway, i have a blog for Glamour Magazine, and I was wondering if you might like to write a guest post about nie nie or taking care of her children while she is recovering or staying positive during difficult times or something like that. i thought my readers would LOVE to hear your story (and be inspired by you, like i am and everyone is!), and hopefully it could bring many new supporters and donations, as well. anyway, i'd love to chat with you more if you're interested! it could be a short or long post, totally up to you, so it doesn't have to take a long time. i adore you and big hugs to you and your lovely family! xoxo joanna (joanna_goddard@yahoo.com)
LOL how many points do I get for getting my hubby to watch it???
I'm dying here. DYING! You hear that Chup? DYING!
Don't forget: the Mindy Gledhill Nie benefit concert is TONIGHT in Provo, UT. (I think tickets are still available.)
Not in Utah? Go to formerlyphread.blogspot.com and bid on the silent auction items. There are well over 150 great items that could be won by YOU. And of course, all the proceeds go to a fantastic cause.
You can win even if you're not at the live auction tonight.
Please take a look!
You're beautiful and ohmygodsofunny!
I just LOVE the video. =)
