My Little SuperStar!

This morning Fox 13 featured Fremont High School as their "Cool School". Big Budda spent some time with the Silverpups and Marlee got to be on T.V. I just don't know how she'll handle all the fame! :)

In case you can't see the video very well, she's on the third step up from the bottom - second from the right. What a cutie pie!

And here's a dorky proud mom for ya.....I have a picture of the TV since I was watching it at home....

All Night PaR-tAy

So if anyone does not realize that last night (or i guess technically this morning) was the opening night of Twilight -- well then you must have been living under a rock for the last 6 months! Jenny and I along with some of the bank girls and some sweet sisters got our tickets waaaaaay in advance (thanks stacy!). Jenny and I thought it would be a blast to spend the night acting like Twilight Teenagers, so we headed to GoodWood and got some delicious nachos.....Our cute waitress was soooo jealous we were going to the midnight movie and was nice enough to take a picture for us.

Then what are two 30ish girls to do in O-Town???? Head to Nickle Cade duh!!! We started out with a friendly game of smack-an-alien where Jenny kicked my trash....

Then a little Skee Ball....by the way, the first 2 machines stole our Nickles and Jenny about peed her pants when the Nickel Cade guy asked her if she was serious that she wanted her 20 cents back. Here's some skee ball pics, notice our beautiful form. Just for the record, Jenny kicked my trash at skee ball.

Hanging out with a bunch of teenagers makes you feel a lot younger than you really are.....hence the ride on the merry-go-round (oh notice the blondie on the right - she and her friend had "Team Jacob" shirts on - curses be to them!!! They got some serious glares from us, trust me!)

Then off to the motorcycle games......where Jenny kicked my trash....notice a pattern yet???

We played a bunch of other games, including 3 games of air hockey - where yes, Jenny kicked my trash. After about 6 bucks worth of Nickels and the manager announcing that NickleCade was closing....we cashed in our whopping 29 tickets for the following fabulous prizes........yep, 2 mini boxes of Junior Mints, 2 Sour Apple Fruities and 1 dinner mint....what a haul huh?!?!?

Well after getting kicked out of NickleCade we had to find something to do for another hour, so we headed to the "66" for a late night caffeine refill and then off to Jenny's for some super rock star guitar hero (my first time playing and just in case you're wondering.......Jenny kicked my trash.....except for ONE round!!! She's freaking married to a gamer - it's kind of unfair)

And then FINALLY after all our excitement, it was off to the movie.....

Here's one of the Prom Dress Models from the fashion show they put on while we were waiting.

We had a SuPeR fun night and I know that pretty much everyone on planet earth is going to want to be our friends now and hang out on Thursday nights........I hope you can handle us!!!

Oh last note -- I will not yet comment on whether or not I liked the Movie....I feel like everyone should be able to see it without the opinion of others cuz I kinda think that ruins the fun!! So I hope you all have as much fun as we did on your Twilight Adventure.........TEAM EDWARD ROCKS!!!!

Picture Day!!!

Today was picture day at preschool for Miss Marlee. I can't believe she let me sit and curl her hair this morning, so I had to get a picture. I'm pretty sure by the time they take pictures her curls will be almost gone, so I had to document it.....
I can't believe how big my little Marlee is getting :(
Then as usual, we had to take a few more pics.....i'll never pass up the opportunity to be in a picture with my tiny sweethearts
Then Marlee insisted I take a picture of her in the car before school....She's eating string cheese and wanted that to be forever documented I guess.
I love my girls!!!

Gasp....Sigh...N.K.O.T.B.!!!!!

Saturday Night, Kristen invited me to the New Kids on the Block Concert. Now, let's rewind 15 years.....Andrea, Melissa and Hilary at the Marriott Center in Provo......going to the concert of a lifetime! NKOTB!!! Oh, we love Jordan! Yep, I do realize how ridiculous I sound! But seriously, every little girl has to have their hunky celebrity crush right? So, when Kristen offered, I thought I'd see what the BOYS have been up to.....
We started our night with dinner at Chili's. Savannah and Allyson had gotten fans at the mall and we thought it would be fun to pose.....Kristen and I were laughing so hard because we couldn't figure out why we kept smiling for the camera when our mouths were behind fans....der!!!
Allyson and Savannah - pretty much the coolest Allyson and Savannah I know - hee hee! :)
Natasha Bedingfield opened....she was actually better than "The Block" as they are calling themselves now.

Then on to the main event......
My old boyfriend, Jordan.....

Yeah, we ended up leaving the concert before it was all the way over. I guess I'm getting too old to make gaagaa faces at guys who think they still have it after 15 years :) (oh and just for the record - probably wouldn't have attended if the tickets hadn't been FREE!!!)
BUT......we did have fun, thanks Kristen for the invite!!!

Week in review

Well, this week has been very busy and very interesting to say the least. So I'll just quickly give a rundown of the fun events over the last week.

Friday night was the "Pink in the Rink" hockey game. The Utah Grizzlies have a hockey game every year where they wear pink jerseys and paint the ice pink and donate a portion of their proceeds to help the fight agains breast cancer. I left my camera in the car and got a few pics on my phone before i dropped it and broke the camera (oops!)

Saturday, Bradee and I headed down with most of the fam to Body Worlds 3. Bradee thought it was very intersting. I liked it, but couldn't handle that many people in a dark confined space! aahhh!

Afterwards we went to Hard Rock Cafe


Bradee had her favorite - BBQ Drumsticks!

Wednesday (i know, i know, it should have been Tuesday) we headed up to Grandpa Z's grave to pay respects for an honored Veteran. I am very grateful to all the Veteran's who have served our country, protected us and ensured our freedom.

Last night was Parent/Teacher Conference for the 2 big girls. They both have worked so hard this 1st quarter and have done awesome! I am so proud of their accomplishments! We went to The Greenery to celebrate!

Way to go girls! Here's looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend - Yeah right!!!

The Halloween fun continues.....

Friday night our Halloween fun continued at Jen's house with soup night and trick or treating. Here's all the little kiddos in their costumes....for some reason we just couldn't get Easton to smile - hee hee hee!
Here's Miss Kaylee as Pipi Longstockings - but Garrett kept saying she was Wendy - like from the fast food Wendy's. Either way, she's just pretty cute.
All the kids waiting patiently to eat in between rounds of trick or treating
Garrett as Jacob Black - hee hee
And since i'm such a fan of Halloween, I had to get in the spirit with a little impromptu costume. I dressed up as an accident victim! We're still looking for the suspect!
All in all, it was a pretty fun night! If anyone can I.D. the suspect that left me battered and bruised, please call me! :)
