The First Day Of School

Today was the first day of school for both of my girls. Shelby is 7 and is starting 2nd grade, and Shaylee is 3 and starting "Pretty School" They were both so excited !! Shaylee thinks she's a grown up now, she asked me for a cell phone on the way to school. She said that she is big enough now. Sadly her Dad agreed with her and is now buying her one for her 4th birthday. (Yes a real cell phone)


Shaylee is going to Learning Dynamics in Orem and has Mrs. Shannon for a teacher. Shaylee told me that "that was a really fun class time Mom" And she was so excited because she got to play with Purple Playdough. She also got to take her doll "Kit" today for show-n-tell so she was so happy about that. Andrea went with me to pick her up today and took her a Caramel Apple. But Shaylee had to sing the song "Apple Bottom Jeans" to get it. (she was wearing her Apple Bottom Jeans outfit today)

Shelby has Mrs. Mecham at Mt. Loafer Elementary and said that all they did today was go over all the rules. When we went to meet the teacher yesterday, the teacher asked her what her name is. When she told her Shelby, the teacher said I've been waiting to meet you Shelby. All the kids have been so excited to be in your class so you must be very popular.

Shelby is really nice to all the kids she is around. Everyone is her friend when she is around. Ask me about her swearing at the class bully last year. Make sure she isn't around, she is really embarassed about it. But it is soooo cute !!!



Shelby always does the "I love you" sign when she leaves for school. Isn't she so sweet !!

My Dad Has a Faux Hawk

My Dad decided to grow facial hair. We told him that if he keeps the facial hair for the family picture on Saturday that we (his daughters) get to style his hair. So we will see who wins..... I think the Faux Hawk looks really good on him !!! And sorry to say sisters of mine.... but 2 of my friends thinks he looks younger. One friend thought he was a date of mine !!!! How funny is that ?

Mystery Spider

Shelby found this spider right in front of our front door the other day. It was dead..... but none the less it's scary. Does anyone know what kind of spider it is ?? It looks kind of like a baby Triancula to me??

Golf Tournament

I was invited to play in the Coldwell Banker Golf Tournament last Friday. I was on a team with my Broker... Kathleen Koyle, my one and only title officer from Equity Title... Angela Penrod, and a fellow agent... Bryce Mitchell. We had a ton of fun, I made shirts for the girls that said "Way Above Par" and let me tell you, our score was just that ;) We golfed at Old Mill Golf Course in Salt Lake.

This car was the hole in one prize..... It's my dream car only I want a convertable I think.

The Wizard of Oz

There is an ongoing joke that I am Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz. I first...found a man with no heart, then...a different one with no brain, and last but not least... one with no courage...... I hope no one gets offended by this :) We have had many many laughs about this topic.

This is me right now.... sad and hanging by a thread at times

Now I am looking for the Wizard....... hopefully that will pan out for me. If not, we will have one more thing to laugh about. He will probably be the one who puts on a good show but is too good to be true in the end...... maybe I don't want to meet the Wizard ????

Here's to the future !!...... Should I get off the Yellow Brick Road..... ??? Any Suggestions ?

Happy 30th to me !!

Today is my 30th birthday...... I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. One minute I'm ok with it, and the next I'm pissed !! However I only cried once today, so I think that's pretty good.

We spent the day at 7 peaks with some friends..... My friend Misty and her kids, and Angela and her daughter. Shaylee was soooooo... grumpy. So I was thrilled when it was time to go home.

Then next we went to Bear Canyon for FHE with my family.

My friend Jamie made me a cake !! Isn't she sweet, and her mom Wendy gave me the cutest neclace and bracelet set. My friend Misty also gave me 2 pairs of adorable earings! Thanks Guys.

The 3.........ex's ;) Not to be confused with Stooges

OK....... Danny, Dave, and Nate all at my house at the same time..... How did I pull that off.. you ask ?? Dave had Shaylee... so he brought her to the party, Danny brought his step-kids to the party and Nate brought his kids to the party. It really was quite a sight. We were looking for the camera to take a picture and Nate walked in.... so Andrea somehow convinced him to go back out and pose for the picture of the ex's. ( that's why he is smiling in the second picture)... Thanks for being such a good sport Nate ;)

Shelby's Birthday Party

Today we had a Birthday Party for Shelby's 7th Birthday. We had 2 water-slides (thanks to Dave) and water balloons. There were about 25 kids and 9 adults. We had lunch, and the kids played in the water.

Happy Birthday Shelby :)

Food Fight

I had a food fight with the Activity Days girls in my ward. It was at my house and we had a total BLAST !! There were 14 girls and 3 leaders. We did water games, pudding race, jello fight, and a shaving cream fight. Then at the end of the evening we ate Banana Splits. Lucky for me... the parents picked them up.... lol you should have seen their faces when they saw their kids.
