girl party utah 2009

Girl party officially started Friday night, but i joined the fun on Saturday. Rebecca and her girlfriends meet in different cities through out the year for girl party. I was lucky enough to be invited to play this year. We started at Rebecca's for bunch while we waited for the karaoke taxi to pick us up and take us to Park City. The ride up was a blast complete with a microphone, disco ball, and flashing lights. Then we enjoyed the free concert at the Canyons and jammed out to the Wailers. We spent the rest of the time cruising main street with dinner and drinks. When the taxi came back to pick us up to take us home, we got filmed for a Park City commercial. It was a very fun day with new friends and lots of laughs.

Amy, Mel, Susan, Me, Traci, Ann Marie, Niki, Rebecca, Tracy, and Jessica

I can't wait until the next Girl Party weekend...although Utah may be a hard one to beat!

The Literacy Fair

Josh's first grade class today had a literacy fair. The students put together a number of written assignments and displays throughout their classroom and hallway for the parents to enjoy. He was so proud of his work and showing it off to me.

Mrs. Jones and Josh

They also did a presentation of some of their great works as a class. This is a video of a song that the class wrote the tune and words. Each student helped in some way. Josh's piece was added the last line about going for ice cream.

My little guy is getting so big!

my little home body

Today is play date day. I picked Josh up from school and he was 1, hungry and 2, wanting to go home. He is my little home body right now. We stopped at Costco for food and some new books and then headed home to play.

Josh's favorite thing right now is hockey. He has been setting up a hockey rink in the living room. Today he had figured out a hockey outfit and even got out his little stuffed animal buddies to be the doctor and fan club.

After the game where I lose every time because he gets a hockey stick and I get the bow from the bow and arrow set, we snuggled up for the viewing of the Mighty Ducks.
We had a great home play date!

RED ROCKS

I love my RED ROCKS....their last regular season meet was Friday against the cougars at BYU. The utes dominated winning the meet with the highest score of the season 197.80. They find out where they go for regionals on Monday and then most likely off to nationals. I wish the season wasn't coming to an end!

Josh's favorite treat

Chocolate Molten Cake...need I say more?!

St. Patty's Day

Josh was so excited for St. Patrick's Day. My mom helped encourage the excitement around the mischief of the leprechauns. Josh wrote a very cute note, drew a picture of himself with his leprechaun friend, and left him a lucky coin.

He was thrilled to see the next morning that his prizes were taken, a note was left for him, and mischief had happened in the house. He said, "mom, the leprechaun left me a note, a game, and a big mess!" His reaction was priceless.

basketball time

The weather has been gorgeous. For this play date, Josh wanted to just be at home and take advantage of the weather. We shot some hoops outside.

spring time fun

...

I have been behind...yes activities have been happening and yes I have pictures, and now they will be posted. Enjoy! :-D

utah basketball

The last Utah women's basketball game was last night against Arizona State. After a trip to the toy store, and dinner, Josh and I headed over to the game. It was a double dose of play time this week!

It was an exciting game and came right down to the last seconds. Utah held on for the win.

GO UTES!

can't come soon enough

Josh is my water bug. I don't know where he gets it, but he loves the water!

Today for our play date, we went swimming and Josh couldn't have been happier. The hot weather can't come fast enough for the outside pools to open!

girlfriends

Thank goodness for girlfriends!

enjoying the weather

Aunt Heidi brought Dylan over to Bonneville last week and the weather was so awesome they went in the back and played. Josh loves being the big cousin!

art playdate

I am a few play dates behind, but last week Josh and I decided to become artists for our activity. He painted a puzzle dino I had brought back from Boston and I was attempting to sketch.
