G.N.O!

In commemoration of the long-anticipated release of the new Stephenie Meyer novel, Breaking Dawn, my girls and I had a fun, silly night out with our friends. We started with dinner at Rumbi Island Grill. There was another group at the table next to us, similarly dressed and also waiting for the party at Barnes and Noble to start.

Barnes and Noble held a mock wedding reception for "Bella" and "Edward" complete with a "best and worst bridesmaid gown competition." Hence, the above outfits!! Aren't our gowns flattering?

Here is the full-length view of me in my breath-taking confection!!

The girls and I with the "stupid, shiny volvo"

Kiersten was so excited when she finally had her hands on our copies
of the book, that she actually cried!! Yep, she's difinitely MY girl.

What we don't have a picture of is the scene at our house at 1:30 am. Picture 5 teenage girls sprawled on our sectional, all reading the same book. I was in my favorite reading chair--the recliner in the den. We had snacks, and paper bags to breathe into--in case of hypervenilation.

Now we can hardly wait for the "Twilight" movie!!!

SHORT hair!

Our hair just keeps getting shorter and shorter. Me and my mother decided to go short this time. We were both pretty excited, and I still was but when i saw how much hair was on the floor i felt sick. My mother loves having this new one it is easy and very fun to play with. The whole reason we say she did this short, very different, crazy hair-do is because it is her "Mid-Life Crisis." I miss my hair but it will grow back and i like it so far! :D

~!Easter!~

For Easter we almost always go to Springdale at Zion National Park to visit our grandparents. This year was really fun! We got to meet up with our cousins from California that we hardley ever get to see. That was really fun for the girls because there were 11 OF THEM! Imagine all that estrogen whew! (poor guys) While we were there we got to see our grandparents new resturant Wildcat Willies! They are very successful and are only a month into business, we are proud of them. Dad and Kaelyn also got the opportunity to go on the Zions hike Angels Landing. The girls also got to go on a hike with their cousins, FUN FUN FUN! The easter egg hunt was a BLAST for the girls! We had a fun time and are looking forward to going back this summer!

Searching For Candy!

Can you count how many?

The veiw from Angels!

Dance!

Here are all of our dance pictures! This past year we were all going at a dance studio. We had a lot of fun this past year and I think we all found a talent we all love. So here they are.

Blast of Winter

All I can say is WOW! Can you believe how much snow that is! It was about two feet in drift areas. Other houses had 3 feet all around. It was so bad they had to cancel church because we couldn't get out of our subdivision. So instead my dad and Kaelyn with others from the ward went around the neighborhood helping people get unburied. It was ridiculous, and we're suppose to get more later on this week. So I had a funny experience with the snow, I was walking to school this morning and in the field there is no path. We have to trudge through all of the snow. Walking to school I fell a couple times, but coming home was worse. So me being curious I wondered how deep it actually went so I went to the deepest part and just sank to where the snow was way above my knees. Than my friend Morgan said, "Jump, see how far you really go down," So of course listening to morgan (which I never should she is not the brightest j/k) I jump and I sank till it was above my waist. So then me being clutzy I fell backwards. So I got up laughing at myself and walked out of the field. When you walk out of the field there is a dip and a path. So, I was walking towards one of my friends car to talk to her and thinking I was on the path instead I stepped down into the dip and fall once again. Just leave it to me to smother myself in snow.
