I'm Moving On

Hello everyone,
My time is coming to an end with the Lion King. It's hard to believe that almost a year and a half has past. I will be leaving on Sunday, April 24, 2011. I have really enjoyed my stay at Lion King, but I can't wait to see what's coming next. If you want to see my performance, my schedule is posted. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. From here, the sky is the limit. TTYL

Saying Goodbye to Shannon

Yesterday was one of the hardest days in the young life of our son. He had to say farewell to one of his friends, Shannon Skye Tavarez. She and Alphonso performed together in his Broadway debut and he will always have that special connection with her. Her smile could brighten up the cloudiest of days and her talent was just incredible. We are praying for her family and hope that you will do the same. If you are 18 or older, please register to be a bone marrow donor. If you are a child, talk to your parents, aunts, uncles, teachers, or any adult about registering to become a donor. Help save someone's life. If you would like, please leave a comment as I will be giving them to Shannon's mother. And remember,
"JUST ONE SWAB WILL DO THE JOB".
Respectfully,
Kathy and Alphonso Jones, Sr.

Guess What!

You'll never guess what happened today. As I was walking out of the theatre my mom called me over to her and then I saw Rihanna. I got to take a picture with her and talk to her. I was so excited and I wasn't expecting to see her after a long day of rehearsal. That was a terrific way to end my day in New York. TTYL

My Awesome Vacation

Recently we got a new cast member named Eden. She is our new Young Nala . I also I went on vacation. My family and I went to Washington DC. I had a blast. We went to almost all of the trademarks. We went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This is where new money is made. Next year we are going to have a new 100 dollar bill. It has lots of colors and many new security features. We also went to The Capitol Building, Air and Space Museum, Museum of Natural History, and The White House! I saw and learned a lot of things in all of those buildings. I even saw the T-Rex from Night at The Museum 2. That was awesome and it was really big. We saw a 3D movie in the Smithsonian called Dinosaurs and we learned a lot about how the dinosaurs survived and hunted. That was cool. My vacation was Awesome. TTYL

"Whip My Hair" - Willow Smith

Meeting Jordin Sparks

This week was great. All of the cubs got lasers tag guns for backstage. We play with them so much I'm surprised the batteries didn't die yet. My sister and cousin also made a dance for the song Whip My Hair by Willow Smith. They even put it up on youtube. I'm gonna link it to my blog page so check it out. I also got my custom made converses. They are really cool. They are purple and blue. My classmates love my shoes. I love them too. And to top things off, I went to see In The Heights and I met Jordin Sparks! She was so nice. I loved the music so much that my dad bought me the soundtrack. TTYL

First Day of School!!!!!!

Today was awesome. It was first day back to school. I was so happy to see all of my friends from last year. I am also happy because I am in middle school. I'm gonna have a locker and I'm gonna be changing classes. I saw all of the teachers who I am really close to. It was nice to be back in school. This school year is gonna be great. TTYL
