Happy Birthday to me.....

I got an early birthday date with my husband on Wednesday. We got offered great tickets (thanks Tammy!) to the Saving Able, Buckcherry, Avenged Sevenfold, and Papa Roach concert. It was awesome! I love Buckcherry and Saving Able. I was also surprised at how many Papa Roach songs I love that I didn't even realize they sang. The only band that was rather disappointing was Avenged Sevenfold. All they did was scream. Everyone else was so worth driving to Salt Lake in the snow for. I got a whole night with my hubby and no children which was the bigger bonus for us both! If you want to watch the Saving Able video be sure to go to the bottom of my page and pause the music player. Enjoy.......I sure did!

Scientifically speaking...

Kenna and her display board.

Her certificate of participation

The dreaded 6th grade science fair project is finally over, and we all survived. Kenna found a fun you tube video of people walking on a mixture of starch and water. So, for her project, she hypothesized whether starch and water is a liquid or a solid. Her project board looked great. We are so proud of how smart she is becoming. Now we wait a few years, then we have to make it through Dalens'.

Flashback (yet again)...

Layton High Prom 1994 Junior Year

This Saturday, my friend Candice and I are assistant photographers for the Grantsville High Snow Ball. So, of course, this brought to mind a flashback. Since I was one of those who went to every school dance, I have oodles of pictures to amaze and amuse. I loved the creativity in the asking and answering, the coordinating outfits, and day long activities that had to accompany each one. Much love goes out to those I will be bringing on the humiliating journey along with me...hehehe!

Ringing in the New Year

New Years was great. This is my first attempt at using the video feature on my camera, it is short and dark, so hopefully I'll get better. We had a party at the Chavez household with a benefit concert to help with medical bills for the Poore family. They have had a really rough year, medically speaking, and we were hoping to help. It was a small framily party and we still managed to donate about $500 to their family. Casey's band "Hard Eight" and "Angel Street" both played. The kids had fun with the noise makers. All in all it was a very good start to 2009. Hope yours was a good one, too.
