BYU Basketball Game

I was supposed to do a promotional spot at the BYU basketball half time. Due to a mix up, it didn't happen. To be honest it was nice to just sit with my family and enjoy the game after such a crazy day. I have to admit I was exhausted.

Radio Disney dancers that are coming to our tea.

Speaking at Hunter Elementary

Today I spoke at my old elementary school. I can't believe how clearly I remember going there. I honestly loved school! When I walked in the smell was the exact same as when I went there. I loved the smell of our school!

It was fun to take Palmer back to my old school. I took him and showed him where I went to Kindergarten, he wasn't impressed :)

This is a teacher that was there when I was in 4th grade. She still looks young.

This is actually a slide from my presentation...the kids love this one!

ABC 4-Good Things Utah

This day was so busy. I started off on Good Things Utah, then spoke at Hunter elementary, and then went to the BYU basketball game to do a half time (fell through, long story). It was so great to be on Good Things Utah to promote our Queen Bee Tea. I watch this show all of the time so it was really fun. It was seriously the best experience. The princesses were so cute!

All of our beautiful mothers with their adorable daughters.

We decided to watch the show while we waited for our turn. It was a good one. I now have ideas for Valentines Day.

These women couldn't be nicer. They were so nice to all of the princesses after the show.

Draper Temple Open House

We went to the Draper Temple open house on Monday. I was so impressed. The temple is beautiful. The reception after was also so classy. All I have to say is that the church never does things half way.

Even though it was a little wild with our kids, I think they could feel the wonderful spirit that was in the temple.

The boys are in front of a map that has pins in where each of the temples is located. I was amazed at how many there are now!

They love to see that temple now. The other night we saw it and they got so excited!

1st Basketball Game

The boys have finally started basketball. We are so excited to have this for them to look forward to during the cold and snowy weeks. So far they are loving it!

I had spoken at a Mrs. Utah workshop that morning and was a bit dressed up for Peewee basketball.

they boys did really well. Palmer has watched a million basketball games and he kept stealing the ball. Well, apparently you can do that in this age group and they would have to give the ball back to the kids he had stolen it from. I could tell he was getting a little frustrated with it.

As usual Hunter was dying to play. He gets to play soccer this year (hooray! I don't have to chase him off the field anymore!), now if we can just get through basketball.

I think I gave them both a hug every time they came out of the game. Yes I am going to be that embarrassing mom.

Waiting to go back in. The boys love basketball. They talk about it all week and count down the days until their games.

Daddy's boy through and through.

I actually went to school with their coach Tony. Small world!

Elders Quorum Dance

Our Elders Quorum planned a Valentines dance that was held last Saturday. We had so much fun! Unfortunately I forgot the camera (not that I can currently get pictures off it anyway) and had to steal these pictures off our friend Misty's blog (thanks Misty!) It was a lot of fun.

They had a kids class so we didn't have to worry about babysitters. Palmer and his little friend Cameron kept sneaking out of it and getting food and taking all of the candy hearts that were the decorations. By the end of the dance Palmer had a huge cup of them.

It was so fun to go to a dance. It has honestly been such a long time. Who knew it would be so much more fun with kids. I danced with Hunter more than I danced with Josh! He had a ball.

Growing up

I promised that I would never post anything about potty training. Well I am making an exception. Since the kids are all so close in age I have been changing diapers since August 2003! Well you can imagine my happiness when Hunter has now moved on to underwear (can I say that in a blog:)? He is now three and I have been asking him if he was ready to learn to go potty (how I cringe even typing that word on my blog-I am not so good with discussing bodily functions...that is why I have three boys). Up until now he always said no. After he turned three I decided he no longer had a choice. It has been great! For the last few days he has done so well even coming and telling me when he had to go. I am so proud of him and so relieved that it is going well. Hooray for Hunter and hooray for no more diapers-for a while anyway :)

Miss America in Vegas

Lots of good shopping. I could live there-or at least go shopping there a few times a year.

Putting bandaids on our poor walked out toeies.

All glammed up for Miss America final night (these pictures aren't in order.)

Cinnabon. Why does it seem that all we are ever doing is eating!

Yummy bread sticks.

The bathroom at Planet Hollywood. Pretty cool.

The candy at FAO Shwartz.

I love candy!

Emergency chocolate, a must have.

One of the nights we were there we were in our hotel and there was a band playing and nobody would dance to their music. We had a great time!

We did a session at the Las Vegas temple.

We ate at all of my favorite restaurants. Here we are at P.F. Changs. So good. We ate a lot of amazing food.

We ate at the best Italian restaurant, Maggianos. Yummy!

Another Miss America, Erika Dunlap.

One of the highlights-meeting Miss America Kirsten Haglund. She really was so impressive.

Bowling at Fat Cats

We went bowling with some people in our ward on Saturday. It has been so fun to get to know everyone better. I have been so busy with life that I haven't really gotten to know anyone that well yet. It was nice to just relax and enjoy the night. It has been a while! My sweet mother-in-law babysat for us. Thanks Mom!

Mmmm...food from The Pizza Factory. The bread sticks were heaven.

I love Josh!

This is all of us who scored zeros...multiple times. I think my score was 50!

Some serious competition was going on.

It was so fun to be on a date with Josh. It has been a long time!

Here is our whole group. Go Balmoral Ward!

These two were dressed up with all of their friends. Catherine thought we should get a picture together...great moment. Thanks for putting this together Catherine and Jeff!
