The Royal Ball

Blowing out the Ariel Cupcake

The Royal Promenade

My husband makes fun of me for referring to this one, as the Princess. But seriously, when you get to know her, how can you not. We had to fill out an "All About Me" poster for her birthday for preschool. Here are her responses for you to be the judge:

1. Favorite Color: PINK

2. Favorite Food: Pepperoni Pizza

3. Favorite Animal: Pony

4. Favorite place to visit: Disneyland

5. When I grow up I want to be a: PRINCESS

6. If I had one wish , I would wish for a: BIG ARIEL DRESS FOR WHEN I GROW UP.

Brett wanted to know if we should break it to her know that her dream of being a Princess when she grows up isn't all that realistic. Of course I let him know that she can live the dream now. We had a Royal Ball at our house with lots of little Princesses running around, with a few knights, superheroes and football players. The kids had fun and the Princess squealed in absolute delight when opening her presents. It was always "just what she wanted". I am partied out for now. So many birthdays in so little of time.

Definite Jazz Fans

We went to the Jazz vs. Kings game last Friday night. We went out on a limb and took both kids, T-man and the Princess. We had a good time and the kids did great. "P" lasted half the game and T-man sat through the whole game. It is so fun to watch him and sit with him. I think he actually gets it. For the most part. He knows when to cheer, he chants along with the cheers, he pays attention. But his very most favorite part was getting sprayed with 4 cans of silly string by the Bear (thanks, Smitty). He actually thought it was AWESOME. Although, I am not so sure all of the unsupecting, inocent bystander fans thought the same thing.

Because of recent game attendance by an older brother, P was convinced it was her turn for an autograph session. She was so cute. She would look at Brett when a player walked in and ask him if he was a player. If he said yes, she would take the marker from him and walk up to the player and ask him if he would sign her "Shert". She was so excited when D-Will finally came in and signed her shirt. She was golden after that, but we still got a few more. Here is to her pink D-Will jersey. And here is a special thanks to Linda and Smitty for treating us so well!

Thanksgiving Feast

T-man's kindergarten class put on such a cute program for Thanksgiving this year. They did such a great job and had some of the cutest songs. He was King Fernidad and did great on his part. Afterward we went to his classroom and had some Thanksgiving food. There is so much to be grateful for...

The Old Cliche

You know the one, the one that says "Stick out like a sore thumb". Brett and I went to the U OF U/BYU game last week and wore blue. I really was NOT thinking about it, I had to run out the door and grabbed my warmest coat. I cheer for both teams-BELIEVE IT. I know people who think you can't, but I do, so get over yourself. My husband cheers for BYU and will cheer for the U unless playing BYU. I got one picture of us in blue amid the pool of blood all around us. It was fun to get booed and yelled at. I guess we just weren't prepared for the animosity that would be shown toward us. I know this is a little late, but I've been busy.

Eating Scorpions

A Slitherin' Selebration

T-man turned 6! In honor of his birthday, we had a little party at our house for some of his friends last week. We had the SCALES AND TALES guy come to do a reptile show. He was so entertaining and kept the kids attention. He did some crazy things like stick a huge scorpion in his mouth and had a ton of fun creatures that the kids could all touch after the show. Our favorite was "Naners" the mighty python at the end. T-man didn't want to touch the reptiles (I can't really blame him) so instead of him getting wrapped in Naners I volunteered Brett to do the honors. He wasn't as sold on it either but was willing to take the thing all by himself, all 12 feet of it. I thought I might have nightmares for days of things crawling around in my house, but luckily I have had no thoughts of it!!!
