FUN SURPRISE!!


My sister surprised the heck out of me!


We were walking into the Energy Solutions Arena and she kept going in a door to look for our seats. I said, well what does the ticket say? What letter are we, and she would say oh we just need to go over here.


We kept walking and walking down, down. Well little did I know that we were on the floor. What a surprise, I knew we had tickets but she got them so I had no clue we were so close. It was so amazing. AWESOME!!!! concert. We were close enough that we could see her little legs jiggle (skinny thing that girl). We couldn't sit down the whole concert and just loved every second of it.

CAN I JUST SAY....I LOVE CELINE! She did an awesome show. Oh and her opening act, I need to find him and see if I can see him again. He was hilarious. I have never laughed so hard. He made fun of every singer you can think of and sounded just like them. I think his name is Brian and I need to have my sister with the younger mind remember and remind me. After all 46 year old's can't remember that much (you would have to read my face book logs to know about that). Anyway, he was so dang funny! Sounded just like the person he was making fun of. He would sing their song with there voice but change the words.
HE HE, I laugh to myself just thinking about it.

Silly Lexi

Our dog jumps up on the trampoline and watches us through the back door window. The trampoline is the perfect height for her to see into the house. She just lies there hoping we will let her in.


CRACKS ME UP!
When she thinks you are going to let her in....she perks up a little and hopes.

Another thing she is doing....while playing with the kids, she thinks it is really funny to take the socks off their feet and run. We have gone through lots of socks, the kids think it is funny so they don't stop her...and then they get pretty good size holes in them. It is like a game of tag. I would think it was pretty funny myself if I didn't have to keep buying socks.

Field Trip to Pets Mart




We had a fun field trip with Zach's class. They were able to take a tour of the veterinarian's office and see an X-Ray of a mother with a baby in her tummy. They were taken on a tour of the whole store and were able to learn about all different animals.






They have a doggie daycare at the store and there was a St. Bernard in the play area. He was as tall as our Shetland pony, we could have put a saddle on him and done the barrel race.
It made me laugh cause before I snuck home the dog we have, when I would ask Dave what kind of dog he wanted he would always say a St. Bernard. I told him that he would have to clean up the poop.




We had a fun morning together. Ali was able to go because she is off track.

Violin Graduation

On Thursday evening Ali graduated from the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star level and moved onto the next level. All the students graduating performed at their level on Thursday night at Cottonwood High School. They received a graduation certificate afterwards.

We walked in and started scoping out a place to sit. Once settled Ali asked me if I brought my camera. "WHAT"??? How could I forget my camera? Especially on such an exciting occasion. BUT I DID! I took a few pictures of her with my cell phone, whoopee!

Ali was so nervous that her jaw was chattering like she was experiencing hypothermia or something. We went back out in the hall to have her violin tuned, and we were able to talk with Kayleen for a few minutes (her teacher). Her level played last, when it was time for her to perform, we walked out into the hall again and once I knew she was in the right place went back inside.

She did fantastic. She was toward the back so we couldn't see her face but we could see her bow, up and down up and down. She stayed with all the other students and did great. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!
