unvalentines day party

Valentines is one of my least favorite holidays...with someone or not. I just don't see the point! Fortunately, some of my friends feel the same way, so we put together an unvalentines day party at Rebecca's with the girls. We had dinner, games, music, and a great time!

RED ROCKS

I have been out of town for the last two UTAH meets, so I was super excited to be able to go on Friday. The #1 utes were up against #15 michigan and it was no contest. The utes dominated with a 197.525 win over michigan.

GO UTES!

playdate a day late

Josh has been at his dad's because there was no school Monday or Tuesday. So our play date happened today. After I backed into a car in the Chili's parking lot, we went in and had dinner. Next we were off to Barnes for some new books.

The night was in three's, so we ended our evening up at the Huntsman Center watching the Utah Women's basketball team crush Colorado St.

We had a great night!

mr. smarty pants

Josh had his semi yearly parent teacher conferences today...and boy is he a little smarty pants! He is a pro in just about everything. He still needs work on his handwriting, but otherwise he is rocking and rolling!

The first graders are shooting for 20+ words a minutes with reading...and yes that says he reads 102 words per minute!

We went for dinner to celebrate his love of learning. He picked Red Lobster which is his current favorite because of the rolls. But fun story - his dad's parents used to take his dad to Red Lobster as a kid for his school success. Josh giggled that he was celebrating the same was as his dad used to!

blackjack in boston

Saturday night was the 2nd annual blackjack tournament in my honor.

We had a blast and although some came out as bigger winners than others, most of us didn't loose too big, except of course the host and hostess who weren't as successful in the winning category!

boston 2009

It is that time of year again....and I needed a trip to visit my sis and her family in Boston. It is cold and you have to bundle up, but it is one of the best, relaxing vacations I have ever taken. This year's visit has been no different.

We walk to most of our destinations and then take the subway. The sun has been shining most of this trip and although the trees are bare, the scenery is gorgeous. These pictures were taken on the bike trail at the spy pond in Arlington.
We met Amy's cute co-worker Emily for breakfast. We didn't make it to a show this time, but enjoyed each other's company over yummy potato cakes.

Shopping....lots and lots of shopping!

The rest of the time has been hanging out with Knox,

playing games, and

taking fun funky pictures with my camera!

My ultimate regrouping, rejuvenating vacation destination is Boston!

family dinner

The family got together for dinner...a late birthday gig for me and josh and a early one for Curtis whose birthday is tomorrow.

We came in like a tornado, but had a great time and some yummy food.

happy bdays to all of us aquarians!
