New Hair Cut

Oh there is something so refreshing about getting a new haircut. I have been letting my hair grow out for over a year now, probably closer to a year and a half or more. It was just getting to a point where it wouldn't do anything. I couldn't even pull it up in a clip. So it was time for a change. I had my appointment today and whacked it all off. What a great weight off my shoulders...literally! Any hooo.....here is a before and after.

Some Ketchin' up to do!

Ok, so we have had some crazy, busy weeks this last little while so there are things I haven't posted yet that I guess I better post. So I will do this all on one post.

For starters, a while back we had DR. SEAUS day at school along with crazy hair and pajama day. So Me and Steph dressed up for the part. Hey any chance I can get to go to school in my pj's well hey...I'M THERE! So here is some pics of this day.




Sam has had a few of her basketball games and has done well in them, unfortunately they haven't won a game yet but they still do a good job.

Mike quit taking guitar so that she could focus on drill team. She knows that drill we be keeping her very busy. She had a great time at Provita Show case where she was able to dance with her Emotion in Motion Dance Company. She had a few ooops in this dance, but she still does well. She landed her C-jump wrong, then her hair started falling out of her bun and distracted her. But she still kept smiling, and having a great attitude. They will be competing in St. George on April 18th. Here is her video clip of their dance at Provita Showcase.


Also at Provita Showcase they had Gev and his dance crew come. Gev was on so you think you can dance. He was also on High School Musical 2 and 3. He came and danced with the drill team. Emotion in Motion got to spend some time with them too. Here is a clip of Gev from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.



Here he is dancing with the drill team.



Here is some pics of Emotion in Motion Dance Company with Gev and his dance crew.

And this last pic is Mike's favorite! Just him and her. She said they were very nice guys and down to earth.

Also they introduced the new drill team for 2009-2010.



Ok on a traveling note....me and the girls took off for St. George last weekend. We did some spring shopping and just a lot of lazy time around at Moms house. We are all so excited to wear our new spring clothes, but the weather just wont cooperate! Whats up with that!

Mike talked in church a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to post her talk on the blog, but she flat out told me NO! So I have no idea where to look for it to sneak it on here so I guess I wont post it....Stinker child of mine!

On a personal note....I had my first mammogram this week. And lets just say that all those emails and jokes about mammograms are TRUE! OUCH....no more said on that.

Quite a few weeks ago I got to go see the construction on our new NEBO VIEW ELEMENTARY. As most of you know this is being done in the old Red Cliffs School. We got to see our new faculty room.......ok small for even a bug! So we all put in our opinions and they will be now knocking out some closets and expanding our faculty room so we can have some room to sit and eat our lunch. But there has been alot of new changes in there. It will be neat to see when it is all finished. I will have two computer labs at the new school.

March 27 was the day my Dad died. He died in 1992 from a stroke when he was only 50. I miss him much!

Ok i finally made a phone call to Missy W. about getting my hair cut. I haven't had it cut for over a year! I almost cut it off my self yesterday, but Kurtis wouldn't let me.....thank goodness. So Tuesday I go in for a new look. YAY

Ok, I think I am caught up know. I'll just leave you with one of my favorite quotes. (I'm still trying to figure out how to live by this.......not easy!)

It's a simple task to make things complex, but a complex task to make things simple.

Ok, it's Mikes turn to shine. I am so proud of her. Wednesday night she tried out for drill team. She did such a great job. Even with a hip injury she made the team. With lots of ibuprofen, physical therapy, heat and ice packs, she toughed it out. She has wanted this ever since she was two years old, and I am not exaggerating! It is true. Dance is such a big part of her life. She wants to thank all those who sent her flowers, balloons, gifts, and also those who came to watch her. We are all so proud of her and wish her a great drill team year! Go Mike!


Here is the lineup for the final judging.


Jake came to support Mike and brought her roses. How sweet!

Our house looked and smelled like a floral shop from wonderful friends and family who supported Mike.
