1st grade program

Josh's first grade program was last week. He practiced his songs everyday at home for a least a week in preparation. He was so excited to perform for his friends at school and for his dad and me.

The program was absolutely adorable and Josh did a great job. He would look over at his cheering section, myself, his dad, my parents, and my grandma, every so often and just grin from ear to ear. I can't believe he is almost through the first grade!

Josh's job was the red kite waver.

sunday night fun

If anyone needs a bomb shelter for any reason...there is a very sufficient one in my living room!

babysitting

Josh and I got the opportunity to babysit my friend's beautiful little girl, Elsie, while she was teaching her art class. Josh was so excited to be able to be the babysitter and was absolutely adorable the entire night. He road bikes with her, played a music while she sang, and even was the client at the hair salon. When it was time for Elsie to go to bed, Josh changed her diaper, got her in her pj's, and then read her stories. Watching him and listening to how he played and helped Elsie just melted my heart. He would be a very good brother...too bad that won't be happening on my end.

It was a late night for both of us and we snuggled in while we waited for Christy to get home. The funniest part of this picture, however, is that Josh is covering his smile with the blanket because he couldn't stop giggling!

movie time

Josh and I haven't been to the movies in I don't know how long. We decided that for Tuesday's play date we were going to a show. Josh's taste in movies is expanding as he gets older, but I hope he is never to old for a good cartoon!

Monsters vs Aliens is hysterical. He giggled through the whole movie. And what I love best is that he is starting to pick up on more and more adult humor. We give this flick 2 thumbs up!

dinner with grandma

My mom helps me with Josh after school. Last Monday, she took bug to her haircut appointment while I finished up my meetings. They finished about the same time I did, so we decided to get some dinner. Josh picked his favorite place for cake. surprise, surprise!

my cute nephews

I have the sweetest nephews. I am so lucky to be an aunt! It is different than being a mom and I love it.

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.
