Provo Dance Competition

Carley had a dance competition at Provo High School. We had to wake up at 5:00 am to get ready and be down there by 8:00 am. We was done by 1:30 pm, YEAH!!! Carley dances in 4 dances.

So today my niece Tealyn posted a photo album called "Little Tae" on facebook. It had two pictures of my dad in their. These pictures brought me to tears. I miss him so much! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him or share one of his stories. Shane and I are always talking about the things he would say or do. Literally every day something reminds me of my dad.

My dad died July 26, 1995 from the treatment for cancer. I remember my dad telling me the cancer will not kill him, the treatment will! And it did! The last couple years of his life was really hard. He had suffered a lot, more then anyone else I know. He was a very strong husband and father. I will always look up to him and I can't wait until I am with him again!

Dad, I love you! You are my hero!

The Nature Conservancy - 4th grade Field Trip

Carley had her 4th grade field trip at The Nature Conservancy in Layton and I had the pleasure of going with them. Carley is in a 4th/5th split class so her teacher was not able to attend.

Wing and Water Field Trip was developed to help students understand the importance of migratory bird habitat at the Great Salt Lake.

I only had two other kids in our group besides Carley. I love small groups! Our group was called the Snowy Plovers and our guide was Bruce.

The wind was blowing about 40MPH (I'm not over exaggerating either) and it was kind of cold. We was able to see a Sand Hill Crane, some Geese and this Duck. We heard some frogs but didn't see them.

Carley thought the field trip was very interesting and really loved it. I loved just being with her.

On the Adult Supervisor's Guide sheet they gave to us volunteer's it says to refrain from OVER-SOCIALIZING. I find this statement strange because I would NEVER OVER-SOCIALIZE!

99 Nail

Jenn and I decided to have cute toe nails for summer. So we went to 99 Nail (not nails with an "S') because Kimmy goes there and loves it.

Here is the break down:
We paid $50.00!! Yes, you read right. FIFTY FREAKIN DOLLARS!!!!

Why you ask, because we got riped off! Yes, riped off!!

Here's the story
KyAnn and Pleshette had went earlier in the day and said " We went and got our toes done, they are so cute! They rubbed our feet a "little". We had them painted zebra print. It was only $30.00" (this quote is very important for my story). Did you notice I put quotes inside of a quote? It's because the word "Little" is so important in my story.

Before

Jenn and I picked out a cute zebra print to have painted on our toes and the fine folks at 99 Nail began working on us. We were the last appointment of the day so I didn't find it odd that they didn't rub our feet a "little".

Tom working on my toes.

I don't know the girls name that did Jenn toes, so I'm just going to call her "Little Girl" because she was so tiny.

Little Girl doing Jenn toes.

I was telling Jenn that this is where Kimmy goes. Tom who was listening to our conversation said "Kim and Angie"? I said "Yes, Kim and Angie. We want our toes cute like theirs". Now I'm super confident that our toes are going to be just like Kimmy's.

Jenn and Me

Jenn "What do we owe?"
Tom after speaking Chinese to the Little Girl says " $50.00"
Jenn "Together?"
Tom "Each"

I fell on the floor!! Then I proceeded to tell Tom about KyAnn and Pleshette only paying $30.00. He told me that the zebra print, and the gel coat was extra..Hmm, why don't tell you that ahead of time?

I called Kim to see what see pays. Guess what, she only pays $25.00!

Kimmy, Angie, KyAnn and Pleshette got pedicures with their toes painted not acrylic with a gel top coat.

But our toes look cute.

Successful Draw

Shane finally drew out for Archery Bull Elk in the Monroe Mountains. He has been putting in for this hunt for 9 years and now that he drew out he has to wait another 5 years before he can put in again. If history repeats itself Shane would be 54 years old before he does this hunt again.

We love the Monroe Mountains and now we will be spending a lot more time down there this summer so Shane can scout and become very familiar with the area. This is a win win situation for all of us. The pictures on the side of my blog of Darrell, Gunner, and Dori were taken at the Monroe Mountains.

Shane also drew out for Archery Buck Deer, Statewide.

Shane really wants one of these.

Courtney drew out for the Rifle Buck Deer, Northern. Since this is a youth tag she can hunt all three seasons and use that seasons weapon. This is her very first year hunting big game. She has her own bow but not a high powered rifle. Don't worry, I have one she can use.

Courtney really wants one of these.

I told Courtney that if she kills a deer we will have it mounted for her, no matter what size. She is so EXCITED! Me on the other hand, did NOT draw out for anything. I put in for the Bull Moose, North Slope. Maybe next year.

Administrative Professionals Day

Today is Administrative Professionals Day. Kris and Dave sang "Happy Administrative Professional Day" to me. I don't even know that a song existed for this day. They also gave me four gift certificates. This is all super weird to me because they have never done this before.

WHATS UP????
