Ok,
so I know you are wondering were I've been these last six months....I'd like to say something exciting like out of the country...on a medical mission in Africa...or helping Tsunamu victims in Asia...or building homes in South America....but unfortunately, my story is rather lame and quite normal...I've been busy with mother-ing, wife-ing, PTA-ing, Zonder-ing, coach-ing, homework-ing, church-ing and a bunch of other -ings that would bore you to tears!!!!

It hasn't all been mundane though....
We finished summer strong with fun trips to Lagoon, Boondocks, Mulligans, lots of Boating and staying in Park City over Labor Day Weekend and then Fall just consumed me with PTA responsibilities...I am over Health & Safety, so you know that means National Fire Safety Prevention Week, Lock Your Meds Day, Great American Smoke Out Day, Emergency School Kits for Kids and of course, Red Ribbon Week!!! Everything went well, but by the end of it, I was so done with school and being safe that I drove around the neighborhood without my seatbelt for a week!!! Ok, not really...but you know what I mean!!
That took us up to Halloween - wasn't it awesome to be so mild again this year?? The kids did really well in not going overboard on the candy this year. We did the Trunk or Treat thing at the Church, then Brecon and Mckay went around with some neighbors (kids & parents) while I went home to hand out candy. Syd decided to come home with me cause she had enough candy already!! KC was on his way home from refereeing football in Manti. By the time he made it home, we ate dinner with some friends and then went to visit some other friends in neighboring subdivisions.
With Thanksgiving on the horizon, we were excited to get together with family for that and to be out of school and work for a few days. However wonderful that is, there's nothing like a girls trip that recharges the batteries!!! A few girlfriends in my ward and I went to visit our buddy Lisa in Vegas for the weekend. We got tix for the show Mamma Mia (I found them at 50% off) and it was opening weekend of Twilight - a double treat!!!
(Ok, I this point I must confess that I had not read any of the Twilight books and didn't know too much about it and couldn't care less about it...don't cringe all you obsessed fans!!)However, I was looking forward to being entertained and liked the fact that I wasn't stewing over the idea that the movie won't be as good as the book!
I loved the movie and was quite intriqued by the whole thing! I still have not read the book, BUT plan to do so over Christmas when I can sit down and not worry about any schedule to follow!!
Mamma Mia was amazing!! We were on the front row!!! It was so much fun singing along and chillin' with the girls! For the encore, everyone got up and danced and sang a long - it was so fun, we could've stayed through another showing!! Thanks girls for the memories and the stories....we've definitely started something to be continued.....
So, I'll try to keep up with postings, but be nice if I don't - I'm no super mom yet!!
Here is my video review of the last six months!!
