Double Date

Saturday night the Dall's and the Dee's went on a double date. We had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory - oh yum!!!


Then we drove past Murray High School.....ya know, where David Archuleta goes (or went) to school. And holy cow, if you have to ask who David Archuleta is......Shame On You!!!
Then we went to Desert Star Theater and saw "The Wizard of Odd" - it was super good and super funny, I would give it 2 thumbs up!

Daddy Daughter Date

Friday Night was a long-overdue Daddy Daughter Date with all the girls and, duh, dad!

We started off the evening at Crown Burger - Here's Jen and Rachel and Dad

Then it was off to Musgrove Family Bowl for an EXCITING (to say the least) 2 games. I'm pretty sure everyone could figure this out on your own - but just in case......I was low score on BOTH games!

Can't beat bowling shoes!

Then we finished the night at Coldstone for some yum-a-licious ice cream. We're going to have to make this a regular event, it was purdy darn fun!!!

p.s. this is Exhibit A of "if you want a good picture, just freakin' smile for me - ok!"

Progress and Memories....

I know I'm a total nerd, but I'm so thrilled that the new, non-circular on-ramp for 12th Street is now open.......so thrilled I took pictures while driving - dangerous, I know, but what can I say? I'm a rebel!!!

Later that day, I took a stroll down memory lane.....This is the house I grew up in and the coolest Elementary School on the planet - Go Eagles!!! (P.S. They're tearing down my school, so I had to get a photo!)

Scariest day of my life!!!

I stole these pictures off Linny's blog, I just wanted everyone to see the strides I'm taking in trying to overcome my fear of dogs....

Mind you, I just about wet my pants out of fear! And Lindsay almost did do - but from laughing!

Happy B-day Chatelains!!!

Kaylee and Garrett's Birthdays are only 8 days apart, so we all got together on Sun the 20th for a joint party. The BBQ was delightful and the cake was super delicious! Way to go Jen!

Kaylee-bug turned 11

Garrett turned 15 - holy cow I feel old!!!

Happy Birthday guys! We love you!!!

Baby Paxten

Baby Paxten was born last week, but I've been having trouble uploading photos, so here's a picture of him in the NICU even though he's home now! Welcome to the family!

Congrats Ryan & Chelsi & Parker & Payton

In Loving Memory

It's taken me a while to get up the courage to post this and even now I'm having a hard time.

Wij liefde U Oma!

October 19, 1929 - April 11, 2008

Grandma's Dutch things and Missionary Books. I am so PROUD of my grandma and grandpa. They have served 3 full-time missions and 9 service missions. My grandma was very proud of her Dutch Heritage as well as her Divine Heritage and she was never afraid to show it. I took some time after the funeral to read her "Life History" that she had written and I am amazed by this woman! Any time I think I've got it hard, I will just think of all the trials my grandma went through so that I could be blessed with the life I have. I will miss her immensely!

Ice Cream Party

This year I started something new with the dance girls to help motivate them and keep them working on their technique throughout the year. They have 3 sections to complete with 4 different skills to pass off. When they pass off one section they get a "prize". When a whole class passes off a section the whole class gets a party. This has been really good because the little girls encourage one another to pass of their skills so the whole class can earn a party. I forgot to take pictures of the first class' party, but we had another one last night....enjoy!

Eagle Scouts Rock!!!

My wonderful nephew Garrett had a Red Cross blood drive for his eagle scout project last night. Both Dave and I were able to donate. It's a really great cause and very important. Both my sister and all three of her triplets have received life saving blood transfusions, so you can see why it's so important to our family! Way to go Garrett!!!

Celbrity Guest Speaker

Just to prove how boring my conference was......here's a picture of my friend Jean (one of my Judges other clerks)

And here's our celebrity guest speaker....can you figure out who he is????

Mr. Bean!!!!
Ok, not really, but that's what we like to call him!

Switzerland.....in Utah

I'm up at a conference for work at the Zermatt Resort & Spa in Midway being bored to DEATH, when I decided to take a drive to the Park City Outlets to do a little shopping.....When I finished up there, Dave and the girls met me for dinner at Ruby Tuesday and then we headed back to the hotel so the girls could swim. It was fun, since I'm usually missing Dave and the girls, it was nice to get to see them! Here are some pictures of the family swimming in the pool & enjoying the cool waterfall in the hot tub.

And here's a picture of my cool room with a huge king size bed

Lindsay - I hope you're not too bored at work without me - I know I'm the life of the party - hee hee hee. Maybe next week J-Rod will be back to make us laugh until Diet Dr. Pepper or water in your case, comes squirting out of our noses. I am SeRiOuSlY bored up here!

Happy Birthday Ian!

Happy Birthday sucker (hee hee hee)!
