Deanna's First Competition

The first dance is Boys will Be Boys. They took first place in their group. (This video cut off a little bit of the end, I'll be taping it again at the next competition)



The second dance is Superheroes and it has 2 teams mixed, Xpressions and Mini-Vibe. This dance won 1st place as well.



Deanna did a great job with her teams today! We are so proud of her.

Cheer Banquet

B'Elana's cheer banquet was on Saturday March 8. They gave each of the girls their t-shirts from winning the USA Championship, a picture frame with a picture of their team and an award based on what they did during the year. B'Elana got the tough little devil award because she was able to step in and be a base this year (and she did a great job at it!) The banquet was at Madeline's steak house.

B'Elana's Birthday Party

B'Elana finally got her 7th birthday party. It only took us a month :) Honestly, between going to Las Vegas and doing all the stuff required for Girl Scout cookie sales, we're lucky we got it done this soon. Her party seemed to be a rousing success. We had the party at Sweet and Sassy in Draper. All the girls got their hair and makeup done and got to dress up like princesses. They were formally introduced and got to tell what their special rule for their kingdom was. Some of the special rules were "No Boys Allowed!" and "Always be nice" They also danced for their subjects.

Cookie Invasion

My house has been invaded by Girl Scout Cookies! We ended up getting 234 CASES of cookies. That is a whopping 2208 cookie boxes.

If anyone ordered cookies from us, we will be contacting you to get them delivered soon.



When I got the camera out to take pictures of all the boxes, my little ham had to have a couple pictures taken of her too! The top one is her behind all the Samoas and Thin Mints. The bottom one is her with all the boxes that she sold. She's excited to start delivering the cookies (so am I!)

February on trial

Deanna's class put February on Trial today. Deanna was the prosecuting attorney, who thought that the month of February wasn't pulling it's weight in the calendar. Unfortunately, her side lost after the onslaught of witnesses for the defense, including Abraham Lincoln, a boy scout, the groundhog, Miss Valentine and George Washington. Better luck next next time Ms. Prosecutor!

Happy Valentines Day!

On the radio this morning they were asking people to call in and tell about when they fell in love with their partner. Every since I heard the question this morning I've been thinking about it. I fell in love with Jason on a Debate trip to Arizona. A whole big group of us were in a hotel room and Jason bought a movie from the hotel. The movie was Ghost (that dates us doesn't it!) We were all talking and getting to know each other better and I realized what a great guy Jason is. Somehow (I think our friends did some switching) we ended seated next to each other in the RV on the way home. We got to know each other more and decided to make a go of dating.

But that's not when I really fell for him. I really fell for him a few weeks later. He was working at Peter Piper Pizza in Sugarhouse. I told him I was coming out to visit him and he made me a special pizza that said I "heart" U. That was the best surprise! Happy Valentine's Day!
This guy was sitting on my chair this morning when I came downstairs. He's been keeping me company all day. My hubby is so sweet! I love you, Jason!
