FAMILY FUN

Saturday we took Tianna to DISNEY ON ICE!!!!
It was soooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! She is totally in love with Disney- especially princesses, so when I heard it was the 100 years celebration and there would be a bunch of different stories told, I just couldn't resist.
She was totally enthralled the first half... but since it was during her nap time the second half was a bit harder for her. I could tell she wanted to be interested but was too tired to really enjoy it. She got pretty wiggly but didn't fall asleep. I think if the second half would have had more stories she had actually seen before it would have helped. Mostly, the show just showed me how many Disney stories she hasn't seen yet. I'll have to fix that. She just watches the same ones over and over again.

Tianna doesn't look excited AT ALL, does she?

PS----- if you haven't already given me your email address and you want to continue to view our blog, leave it in a comment. (even if I might already have your email... just in case I have the wrong one)
We are going private soon.... I dont' have a set date but it won't be long!

Thankful Message

I'm thankful for my life. I love the life I've been given.... and I'm too blessed to list all of the things I'm grateful for- it would take FOREVER TO WRITE! But the most important things in my life are my sweet husband, my wonderful daughter, and my loving and supportive family (that includes in-laws.)
I'm thankful for my home, my my husband's schooling, for my friends here in Logan and my other friends I've made throughout my life..... and so..........

I've decided to go private. I've chosen not to for my own convenience and because I have really enjoyed finding more and more friends to blog with... but it's not worth risking the safety of my family and friends whom I post about.

So Please, PLEASE...EVEN if you only occasionally look at my blog, let me know so that I can add you to our list. I don't want to go private, but I feel it's the only way in this crazy world.

ps- I also would have gone private sooner if there was some way that people could still view my profile to get my email address so they could contact me after I go private. Does anyone know of a way to do that... or for any other way for people to contact you if they don't know your email address?

Plus 18 1/2 Inches and Minus 13

"Thankful Thursday's" just aren't working out for me. Not that I'm ungrateful on Thursday's, it's more of just a bad day for blogging... too busy.
So I've decided to have more of a "Thankful Message" each week... doesn't matter what day.

So this week..... we are grateful for the safe arrival of our new nephew!!! My brother James, and his wife, Val's little baby BOY was born on Wednesday. I was able to be there with Tianna shortly after the birth. He's so adorable and he and his mother are both doing well!!!

I don't know if they've chosen a name for him yet... but he is 18 1/2 inches long and 6.1 lbs. He is healthy, handsome, and SO LOVED!!!

In other news. I got brave.... or stupid..... that is debatable. But today, I cut off my hair. More than a whole foot!!!!! First of all, I can't believe it was actually that long... and secondly, I can't believe that I actually got rid of it. It will take at least 3 years to get it back! I'm still in shock.... but I do like it. Change is good (please don't reference that to our new President. I'm not too happy about that issue) but as for looks.... change is often needed to keep things fresh. I've looked the same for far too long. And Luke is happy that I did it... mostly because now I'll stop bugging him about whether I should or not.

And yes, I cried in the chair. Thankfully I'm friends with the girl that cut it so she didn't think I was a complete dope. Well, maybe she did. Luke was a great support though. He stayed by my side and kept telling me it looked great. So now, I guess that's up to you to decide.

Happy Halloween

First off- I missed my Thankful Thursday Message.... this week was CRAZY BUSY!! So for this week, I'm grateful for a daughter who enjoys dressing up even more than I do... and a husband who is willing ;) even if he would rather.

For Halloween Tianna was Cinderella!!! She absolutely loved wearing her dress around town, and trick-or-treating down Main Street and at Luke's work. She got very good as saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" to each person. It was soooooooooo soooo cute!!!



Luke and I dressed up as Lucy and Ricky from "I Love Lucy." We both look kinda weird, but it was definitely fun anyway! Thursday night I had to dress up because our ward's young men and young women's did a little carnival for the Special Need Mutual. It was such a great experience. Halloween night we went to a little party at the Old Barn theater with some friends from the plays I've been in. The theme was Old Hollywood. So here we have some sort of diva, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, and Audrey Hepburn.
And of course, Dezi and Lucy and Cinderella.


Tianna's favorite part about that was dancing around with her daddy on the stage. She's such a funny little girl!!

And last, but not least, I have to show a pic of the back of my hair because it looked way better than the front did.
