Barry is Crazy!!!!!

For those of you who know Barry, you know he is pretty determined and rarely gives up on anything. Ever since we moved into our house, he's wanted to put Christmas light around it. I think that we have the highest house with the steepest ruf in the neighborhood. It was an impossible task. Not for Barry. This past weekend he traded third row Jazz tickets with the manager of diamond rental to get a cherry picker lift. He and my nephew spent all day Saturday up in this thing hanging lights on the house. It looks pretty great. I am only sorry I was at a drill competition all day on Saturday and never got the privelage to see this task mastered. Therefore I also have no pictures of the blessed Christmas tradition. If you will all picture in your minds you will be able to giggle along with me.

Crazy Month

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in like a good six weeks. It's been a crazy November. This month my dance company had their dance concert. There's a lot of stress going into making sure everything works and so because of it I let everything else slip.

Thanksgiving was delicious!!! My mom makes the best Turkey!!! However, the stomach flu was surfing around day care and yep, Andrew got a diarehhea version. It lasted for seven days!! It was horrible. Fianaly as of yesterday, all is good.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying all of the shopping maddness in order to get ready for Christmas!!

Getting Older

I don't like to think of myself as an old person yet. Sure I am 32 and on my way to 33. But am I really that old. So you may wonder why I am posing this question. Today, I ran into a girl I danced with in Jr. High and who I went to High School with. It took me forever to realize and remember who she was. (I still can't remember her last name.) But boy, did she look OLD! She reminded me of one of my old young women leaders back in the day. As I finished my conversation with her, it made me wonder, I am I starting to look that old? (Nobody needs to answer that question.) Hopefully not. My plan is if I keep teaching the high school aged population, at least they can make me feel young.

A question for all of you, What makes you feel old????

I Give Up!

So I am a computer dummy and can't figure out how to load my slide show to the page. Any way here are a few pic's with my fav dancers!!

So You Think You Can Dance!!!

What an amazing show. Those of you who know me well, know I have been an admire of the show since it's beginning. I keep hoping that one day one of my dancers will be there. I will keep the hope going. I was so impressed with all of them. It was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to. I also got lucky enough to score some backstage passes for after the show. Every single dancer was so gracious and kind. I was impressed their were no Divas to be seen. I might have even got lucky enough to have Thayne come and set something on my dance company!!! Pictures to come as soon as I figure out the whole slide show thing.

You can't call him a gril anymore!!!

I was finally tired of my son being referred to as a girl so I finally took him to the local Super Cuts and got him styled. The stylist was fabulous so a big shout out to her for being so good with him. He did get a bit scared at first and got a little edgy at times but we all managed through it and he looks great. Sorry the after picture sort of sucks but I couldn't get him to pose.

A big woo hoo to the BYU Cougars for having another shut out game. I have a sad feeling that next week when they play my Aggies, that it will make it three in a row. Gooooo Aggies!!!!!!

And for those of you who have always wondered about the cool parts of Barry's job here is a little insight. Every Wednesday night, he get's to engineer the BYU Coaches shows. They are always held at various Ken Garff dealerships in Utah County. He gets to spend his evening putting the coaches show on the air, he gets to sit next to Bronco Mendenhall, and chat it up with the players that come in. What a cool job. One of these times I am going have to set the dvr for America's Next Top Model and make it in their to see what all the fuss is about.

GOOOOOOOOO COUGARS!!!!!

So I totally thought BYU had their work cut out for them today in the game vs. UCLA. Boy was I wrong. Barry, Andrew and myself went to the game and made it until the score was 49 zip before we bailed. Best thing about leaving that early was NO TRAFFIC. If you have ever been in BYU traffic it's almost as bad as L.A. traffic.

I also wanted to give you all an update on how going back to work/day care has been for me and Andrew. We have now survived 4 solid weeks and we are finally both doing better. Andrew has finally quit crying when I leave him and he's finally sleeping at night again. I am so glad we have finally gotten our routine back down. Life is Good!!!
