Winter Formal 2009

Uncategorized

Last weekend was the  JMCHS Winter Formal @ the 23rd Floor in the Wells Fargo Center, in downtown Salt Lake City.  The planning for this dance began in early December with Madi and her friends deciding on which boys to ask, since this was a girl’s choice dance, who would be in their group, where to eat and what to wear!  It is so much more exhausting and time consuming with a girl!  Haha!  Madi asked a boy that I *think* she has had her eye on for sometime….Kelton.  Her friend asked a boy named Stevie.  This is how they asked them to the dance:

They were called down to the Dean’s office (Kelton is the son of a former Dean of the school – and I heard he was visibly worried he was in big trouble!) where they were give this sign, and told to search the school for their date.  Madi and her friend Melissa were wearing shirt’s the color of their boy’s name on the sign (did that make sense?).  It was kind of cute.  Anyway, the dance was last weekend, and ever since Madi asked Kelton, they had been planning and coordinating their outfits around Kelton’s pair of PURPLE NIKES!! Haha!  Soooo funny!  Madi was all set to wear PURPLE NIKES with her dress!  I finally got her to wear heels at least when she picked up Kelton and had pictures taken with their group at her friend Caitlin’s house.  She obliged!  But the minute the photos were done and the limo was there to pick up the group, the heels came off and the PURPLE NIKES went on.  I was actually surprised at how cute they actually looked with the dress!

With the heels…..and then with the PURPLE NIKES.  They look pretty cute, huh?

Madi had a GREAT time at the dance!  I’m soooo glad!  I can’t wait to see the actual pictures they took at the dance.  Their “pose” was all about the shoes!

SUGAR BOWL! GO UTES!

Uncategorized

On January 2, the UTAH UTES met the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2009 BCS Allstate Sugar Bowl and the UTES were VICTORIOUS!  We met up with the Hanings, Ringheimers and Huffs for good food, good fun, good friends and GOOD FOOTBALL!  What an awesome game!  And for the UTES to roll over the Crimson Tide, was even better!  The UTES were the only team in the nation to finish the season 13-0!  They have the longest win streak in the nation, and the longest bowl game win streak in the nation….which only get them the #2 ranking in the nation…things that make you go HMMMMMM!!!  Hahaha!   GO UTES!

Cute photo share!

Uncategorized

I have a cute photo to share!  This was taken in November – proof that some fun was had!  This is Madi and Chloe with my niece Erin.  I don’t think I have mentioned this on here, but Madi got a new ‘do’ last month….she went much darker with her hair color, and has some really pretty streaks of red throughout, which you can’t really see in the photo.  You can’t really even see the new hair color, but you get the idea! Have a great day!  I’ll be back later with my December 3rd entry in my December Daily Album 2008.

What happened to November?

Uncategorized

I swear the month of November never happened?!?!?!  Has it really been this long since I have posted?  That is just crazy!  I’m going to be a posting fool in the month of December…at least I hope so!  I’m playing along with Ali Edwards and her December Daily Album, so my plan is to post the update and progress here, along with other December goodness!  Not much happened in November, so not much to tell you about.  We had a nice Thanksgiving, but missed Tyson (with his roommate in Scottsdale), and my brothers and niece (Kevin in Cali for a car race, Chris & Erin in Vegas).  We had a good time though.  What else did we do in November?  Tyson’s football season at Redlands ended, and he jumped right in to baseball tryouts.  Madi’s volleyball season at JMCHS ended and we had the end of season banquet.  Chloe is getting cuter and cuter every day.  But she’s getting naughtier too!  She LOVES to bite! Ü  We are looking forward to Tyson coming home for Christmas on the 12th, and the festivities can really begin.  In the meantime…here are my December Daily Album 2008 entries for Dec. 1st and 2nd:

Happy Halloween!

Uncategorized

This past week has really kicked  my butt! We returned home from California late Sunday night, and it was right back to work and everything else on Monday.  I haven’t had a moment to catch up.  I hosted Bonco at my house last night, so I spent most of the weekend getting ready for that (cleaning the house, figuring out and buying prizes, food, etc.).  Then, to top it off, I was in charge of the softball team basket for the JMCHS Auction which is tomorrow night.  I finally got that finished off and dropped off this morning.  Phew!  Now I need to figure out a Halloween costume for Carl and I tonight.  Ugh! 

We had a FABULOUS time last weekend celebrating Madi’s 16th birthday in California, and attending all the Homecoming festivities at Redlands!  Some highlights:
