Dance Dance Baby!!!

We have had quit the eventful dance week at our house! Last Monday, the girls had their dance recital at the Sandy Amphitheater. It was going great until mother nature decided to unleash her furry on us! It poured rain like I've never seen before! Oakley did one of her dances and they were just about to put K on stage when they decided to cancel the performance!!

Later in the week the girls performed at the Riverton Arts Festival. That one wasn't too bad, it was really windy and there was tons of dust in the air, but the girls pulled through and danced their hearts out!! They did awesome!!!! This last Tuesday was the rescheduled dance recital. Again Mother Nature was not in agreeance, but the show had to go on!! The girls did such a great job again! I just love these girls, they are just to darn cute!!! I actually didn't mind getting them ready three different times. I loved doing their hair and makeup and glitter!! They loved it too!! All I can say is, "Bryce better have his guns ready when these girls turn 16!"

As we were tucking them in, all of the sudden or building started to sway......We were in a 5.O earthquake!!! Crazy huh? I was hoping this was not a sign of a bad trip ahead of us! It wasn't, we had a blast!! Monday and Tuesday we went to Disneyland. Wednesday, we went to Newport Beach. Thursday, we hit SeaWorld. Friday, we were back at Disneyland. Saturday, we drove home.

That was all we had time to do because we needed to get on to Disneyland!

My Taylor Swift (Ex Boyfriend) Song!!!

So my friend went to the Taylor Swift concert. I really wished I could have gone. She posted on facebook how great it was, and said she wished that she would have thought to write songs about her ex's.... I agreed! Then she dared me to write one and post it. It is possible that he might see it there so I will post it here. It is just too good not to share!! It is titled

"Drama because of your Momma"

You liked me and I liked you,

But ohhh the drama because of your momma!!

I asked you to a dance, you said yes then had to say no!

You weren't aloud to go to two dances in a row!!

Ever time you dated me, she made you date two others

I'd ask one, you'd ask another, we'd switch dates to trick your mother!!

Oh the drama because of your Momma!

You played football, it was "hell week"

you were so tired your Momma forbid you to speak.

Amy and I tapped on your window then hid in the bushes

unfortunately your parents could see our tushes!

Why did your dad have to be a cop?

He found Amy and I and made the fun stop!

oh the drama because of your momma!

Every time you thought about kissin'

your Momma would remind you of your upcoming mission

I brought over the movie "Dumb and Dumber"

your mom sat with us what a bummer!

She stared at me through all the crude parts,

the flashing boobs and blue dart farts!

Oh the drama because of your Momma!!

You really liked me and bought me a ring,

your Momma found the receipt and said, "take back that thing!"

Oh the drama because of your Momma!!

I can't figure out why our relationship didn't work

and then I remember how your Momma would LURK!!

Oh the drama because of your MOMMA!!!! :)

What do you think? Do you think it is the next Taylor Swift chart topper?

Happy Mother's Day

Yesterday, I had the best Mother's Day ever! My cute little family let me sleep in, they made me breakfast, and gave me presents! What more could I ask for? After all of that, we went to church. The primary presidency asked me to help with an activity. They wanted me to go into the primary with a paper bag over my head and a sheet around my body. The kids were supposed to "guess the mommy" It was so much fun. I disguised my voice so they wouldn't know it was me, but my girls knew right off! They asked me questions like: what color is my hair? What movie did I watch last? What activities do my family enjoy? It was so fun to watch how excited my girls were!! They were bouncing out of their seats! After church we went to Murray park to see my mom's side of the family, and then over to Bryce's family. It was a great day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you too!

"Race for the Cure"

Saturday I was able to go down to Gateway and participate in "Race for the Cure" It was so much fun and really an awesome experience. It was amazing to see a lot of breast cancer survivors and all of their supportive friends and family. I thought it would be a more sobering event but boy was I wrong! There were the funniest t-shirts I have ever seen!! People are so weird! So my thoughts are..."If you can't beat them, join them!" We have lots of crazy ideas for next year! I have to mention, while I was running, I turned to my mom and told her my butt was jiggling! She said, "It's not jiggling, it's just waving at everyone behind you!"

Brooke, Me, Mom

Stick them out girls!!

I just had to write this on the back of Jer's shirt (Brooke's hubby)

The sea of people. Yes these are all of the people ahead of me. There are even more behind me! I do have to say though, we did get there late. :)

Sew Fun!!

Yeah, yeah, I know that title was really creative! What can I say, that's just how I am! hahaha :) I saw these dresses a little while ago at a boutique and I knew I could make them. So I did! Here are the dresses I SEWED!! My mom is so proud! hahaha! (Actually she hasn't seen them yet!)

Crazy Hair Day!

I just love these girls! They are always doing funny things, and today we get to show the world!! O has "crazy hair day"! She wanted it to stick straight up. We stuck a cup inside there to make it stand up!!

Princess Party!

The girls got invited to a princess party a little while ago. I had to take pictures because they were just soooo darn cute! I am a little sad though...Ka doesn't fit into any of our dress ups any more. She is too tall! so sad! :( Birthday Girl Ailie, K and O
Cinderella and O

Cinderella and K

Auquarium!!!

While off track we went to the Aquarium with some friends. The girls had so much fun. They loved seeing all the fish, sharks, and especially the octopus! They were a little creeped out that all of these things are in the ocean though. Hopefully they will have forgotten about it when we go to CA....probably not! Cute girls!
Ethan, K, O, Caleb, Allison, Bella
Thanks for coming with us! We had so much fun!

If you want to make me mad......

Yell at my kids!
A couple of weeks ago, Kaybree was off track. We decided to go see Hannah Montana. It was a really cute movie and we were totally enjoying ourselves until the lady in front of us got mad at my girls. Let me set the stage for you.
My friend (Shauna) and I took our girls to the show. We had her Ailie, my K and O, and K's little friend Bella. So there we all sat, Shauna, me, Ailie, K, Bella, O. The girls had come over to my seat during the movie to get more popcorn, then went back to their seats. Once they sat down again, the lady in front of me turned to the girls and said, "Sit down and Shut up!" My blood pressure went through the roof! I tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Don't ever talk to my kids again. If you have a problem, you can talk to me!" She turned and said, "You can't control your kids so someone has to!" Shauna piped in and said, "Lady, you are the one with the problem, so why don't you move?" The lady then turned around mumbled a few things that we couldn't hear and continued to watch the movie. To make a bad situation worse, Shauna's cell phone rang! The lady was mad. She jumped out of her seat and left the theatre. She came back a few minutes later with the manager! The manager stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched the audience for the last 20 minutes of the movie! As the movie ended, we quickly gathered our stuff in hopes that we could leave before the lady and avoid another confrontation. (I HATE CONFRONTATION!) We got down the stairs and the girls wanted to dance in front of the movie screen. We let them because we were far enough away from the lady that it wouldn't be a problem. As the girls danced, the lady just sat there watching. We decided we had better go after the first song. As we left, the lady was right on our heels. We got to the doors of our theatre and the managers were standing there (THANK HEAVENS!) I stood there next to them just in case the lady started yelling again. As she passed us she said, "you are a pathetic mother!" She glared and continued walking. Shauna and I were so amazed at this woman carrying on the way she was in front of her 13ish year old daughter! I apologized to the managers for having to come watch us. I really didn't think my girls had done anything wrong! The managers told me that the lady said the girls were kicking her seat and pulling her hair the entire movie! I know absolutely that they had not! Let me just say, I am not one of those mom's where their kids can do no wrong. I will be the first to admit that my kids aren't always angel's but come on now, they don't even pull each others hair let alone some strange lady's! And kicking the seats NO They loved the movie, every time I looked down, all four faces were glued to the screen! Oh and the lady was in front of me!! I know I wasn't kicking her seat! My only thoughts are that they must have bumped her seat as they came and got more popcorn the ONE time! Oh but the drama doesn't end there! After Shauna and I vented to the managers and each other for about five minutes, we left. Shauna was parked on the west side of the building and I on the east. As I went out to the parking lot, I was looking all around making sure the crazy lady wasn't there. I didn't see her. I got the three girls in the car. They were having trouble with the seat belts, so I reached in to help. With my butt hanging out of the car, I hear her voice! I jumped down and shut the door. The lady said, "If you can't control yourself during a movie how do you expect your kids to control themselves? You B*@#%!!" Then she drove away before I could even say one word! Seriously, I was just flabbergasted! You know after something happens you think, I should have done this, or I should have said that? Well, I've got nothing! There is nothing I could have said to this lady! She was just flat out crazy! I think she just wanted to be mad! Of course there are those things that come to mind that I would never say in front of my kids, but nothing I could have said would make this situation better!
