STUPID DEER!!

The other night I was driving home from dance MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS... When out of nowhere there was a deer right in front of me! And I mean it when I say... OUT OF NOWHERE!!! I didn't even see that dang thing until I hit it. I hope it killed it! The only thing on the road was my car so I'm not sure. Scared Mar to death... but, I think she'll wear her seatbelt tight from now on! ;)

It even broke the mirror!

Ballin' & Dancin'

So... our lives have been HECTIC!! Nothing new right? Just thought I'd stick up a couple pictures from the last few weeks. Alex is done with school ball and almost done with Jr Jazz, and this weekend he's going with a traveling team to a tournament in the city. And probably a couple more.

Marliegh's dance competition season is just starting! Every year we perform at Vernal's Women's Day Out Expo. And that's our first chance to perform our competition routines. I'm really excited to just get those started!

I have been helping with Drill Team too... I hate the early mornings!!! Nothing has changed there... but it will be over on Thursday, so I can breath a sigh of relief!

Weston's been working on Scouts and playing since his ball has been over for awhile now. We're just waiting on baseball season to start!

Trent has been home but dealing with everything in North Dakota and he's going to Vegas next week for work. BLAH BLAH BLAH! lol... Alright... HERE'S THE LAST THREE WEEKS OF MY LIFE!

She's gross!

Hold my teeth please...

This is mostly funny to those of you who know my mom... and when she finds out I put it on here she's going to KILL me! hahaha.

Sooo... for those of you who know my mom, you know that she has false teeth and has for as long as I can remember. She has a little "act" that she does without her teeth in and no-one ever recognizes her. AND if you ever been fortunate enough to go to girls camp with her... you probably saw her take them out a time or two then also! Well... it's kind of been a tradition for g-ma to take out her teeth and scare the kids... like asking them to hold them and stuff. Which was what I was actually trying to get when I started videoing. She kept taking them out and asking Marleigh to hold them and Mar would scream and almost cry and then tell her to do it again. Anyway, Mar saw that I had the phone on video and got this for me... I wonder where Pam Winder is now? She'd get a kick out of this!

(p.s. if you listen close you can hear Alex play Metallica in the backgroud)

Pointe Break Convention

Mar, Gab & Ash with Matt Dorame

So this weekend, after helping my fasha, I took Marliegh to a dance convention on Friday night & Saturday morning. Gabby and Ashlin from the stuido went too. It was at the Pointe Academy in Lindon. Megan's (one of my moms from the studio AND a great friend) best friend from HS, Darcie, owns the studio and invited us! The Odyssey Dance Theater shares their studio and so the Pointe Academy is very fortunate to use the dancers as teachers! All of them have the best credentials... 2 had been on So You Think You Can Dance, 2 were dancers and assistant choreographers for HS Musical 1,2, & 3, among A LOT of other movies & music videos, and all of them had danced all over the world! (I really could go on and on)

Marleigh had the BEST time. Her favorite teacher was Matt Dorame (a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance). He taught them a couple dances but her favorite was a really cute dance to Fan Tan Fanny. (The video is on my facebook... it's too hard to upload videos on here). After one of her Hip Hop classes, she informed me that she thought her teacher (Brandon) was gay. LOL! Which he very obviously WAS! But a GREAT dancer! They had to learn a short dance in Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Contempary, Bollywood (reminded me of the love guru), and 2 in Hip Hop. And then do a Show for everyone. She was the youngest one in her class and did SOOOO good! The weekend was REALLY exciting and we LOVED it! Thanks Darcie for inviting us!

OH MY DAUGHTER!

She's on one! And since I'm sure I'll forget this... you get 2 of Bob's life sayings in a row...

Mar: Mom, my head hurts...

Me: Why? Do you need to eat?

Mar: I don't know... It just hurts! It feels funny! Like something isn't in there that was in there before but it's not in there anymore!

Me: So stuff that was in your head before isn't in there anymore?

Mar: Yea!

Me: Like what?

Mar: Like 4+4. It's not there anymore... I don't know it anymore!

Me: WOW! So you don't know what 4+4 is anymore?

Mar: NO!

Me: Well do you know what 8+8 is?

Mar: Yes! I told you it was 4+4!

Me: Wow! That's tough!

Mar: I know!

What's she been watching?

So... my daughter got dressed up like a truck stop diner waitress tonight and Asked what I'd like to order. When I asked for an order of modesty she giggled and said "You're not my Mom! I have kids I'm trying to support here! What would you like to order?" I'm not going to tip her... she yelled at me!

Quirky Jerks

Carrie had this on her blog... and since I'm quirky!

1. I HAVE TO HAVE LOTION! Don't even bother waiting for me to wash my hands if I don't have lotion! YES I know it's gross... but then I obsess about my hands! IF THEIR IS WATER ON MY SKIN... THEIR HAD BETTER BE SOME LOTION INVOLVED! I lotion for about 1 hour after I shower! And I'll sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to put more on!

2. I'm VERY interested in the paranormal! I would absolutely LOVE to be a ghost hunter! Even if I saw one I'd pee my pants!

3. I have to have my makeup on before I can do my hair... I just can't see what I'll really look like in the end so it's pointless!

4. I used to have to delete all of the names off of Caller ID... It drove me crazy! Especially if it was someones number that I knew. Now I'm completely opposite... I can't delete anything off! It bugs me... and instead of just dialing the number I know by heart I'll find it on CID and then select dial.

5. When I do my laundry... and then fold it... I hang up all of the shirts (once they're on the hanger I put it in a GIANT pile and I hang up all at one time). I don't care how the shirt goes on the hanger BUT, when you lay the hanger, with the shirt, back on the bed make sure ALL of the hooks are going the same way please!

I tag everyone else who needs something to blog because nothing else is going on, and all of you who are quirky!

My not so secret boyfriend KYLE!!! ;)

Amy got to go to the Jazz game on Monday... AND she got to enjoy the view! I'm sooo jealous! She had the best seats, right behind the team! I told her that if she couldn't bring me along to make out with Kyle then the least she could do was take a close up for me! Here it is! In all it's GLORY! THANK YOU AMY! Your the best friend EVER!!

Baby Shower

We had my nieces baby shower today. It was great to see everyone and laugh! I can't believe my little "mamers" is having a baby! We played a balloon game that you have to blow up the balloon and stick it under your shirt and then the person next to you goes. Then once your all through blowing them up, you pop them in the reverse order... My mom was hilarious! We decided it looked like a droopy boob. Anyway... LOVE YOU JAMIE... Can't wait to see Cohen!
