so fun..........St. Patty's Day is close!

On the not so fun front: Gary must really be sick because he is taking a sick, lay around, call the doctor for medicine day.  He has an ear infection. We got meds to him yesterday, but he still isn't great. Unfortunately he leaves for Italy on business this week. He is an easy patient; which is good because  I am not a great nurse.  Of to try to do better.

I need some new!

I need some new clothes...not a whole new wardrobe but some "key" pieces to supplement and update my wardrobe.   Right now on the want list is a skinny belt, cardigan sweaters, shoes, a few tops...one that is nautical, jewelry.....I know it sounds much more than a few new things....but spring is coming and I need a re-birth of my wardrobe.

WALKING!!!

the Captain is Walking for real.......yikes, yeah, oh no!
He came over and showed off his skills. He is still faster crawling, but is so proud of his walking skills. He claps for himself when he goes a good distance.......I guess you could say that he will be a natural performer, he loves the applause.

lock up the good stuff grandma....

mmmm Homemade Bread

Yes, I really baked bread...two days in a row now. And it is good and addictive. The boys are 'very' okay with the homemade bread thing and told me to make it everyday. I don't think my diet will think it is a good idea. But making bread is easy...as long as you have a bread machine to knead it......and I do. I have the Machine knead it and do the first rise, then I take it out of the machine and pan it in a regular looking loaf pan. Yes I know I could leave it in the machine to bake, but it makes a weird loaf.
I am thinking of branching out tomorrow and mixing roll dough, or pizza dough and then maybe I'll mix things up and do a fancy mix in bread.......another slice? Don't mind if I do.

From 0 to 14.5 inches Overnight

Yesterday was rainy and the snow was gone...it looked like March, wet and dirty......but mother nature had other ideas.  14.5 inches of snow overnight...today a most beautiful Utah Snow day!

Theatre Night

We finally saw my cute sister, and niece and nephew in Hairspray. They were all fantastic...and no I am not biased, really.
Melinda as Velema steals every scene she is in. She is evil fun.
Aaron as Link dances and sings like a champ.
Jenna as one of the nicest kids in town is a great dancer and presence on stage.

The new Center Point Legacy Theater is beautiful. Of course there are a lot of kinks and equipment and space things that needs to be worked out, but I am sure that will come. When you go from and up close and personal postage stamp size theater that has a ton of limitations to a "real' sized theater with a balcony, and lots if nifty features, and options that you haven't had available, there has got to be a big learning curve.

Live theater is always fun.

Fun, Lazy Weekend

Happy Birthday Angela....my baby sister is 42. She looks fantastic! She allowed us to have our Sibs dinner on her birthday. It was at my house. Mom, Dad, bro, sisters and partners...so much fun, eating, playing games and catching up. (order born or order porn...you decide).

Some snow but it is staying wet so I know spring is on its way.

BYU Basketball---go Jimmer etc....I am so glad that they beat SDSU and today they are ranked #3....and giving the sports annalist fits trying to decide if they are worthy 1 seed in the tourney. The other interesting and controversy surrounding the game was the SDSU students who dressed up as Mormon missionaries thinking that they are being offensive and will cause the team to be distracted....crazy, but I want to know what would happen if they same students would dress up mocking the Jews, Muslims etc.... I am sure a lot more serious actions would be taken by the NCAA than the nothing that their dressing up caused the NCAA to do.....It's a good thing us Mormons are proud of our missionaries and they way they look. I am glad we can laugh at ourselves.

Call family dinner...fun to have us all together. All we do is sit around and watch the baby.....he was doing the hokey poky with Elmo and really shakes it all about.

The Oscars were fine, not spectacular, but not offensive either...My favorite the King's Speech won best picture and actor. Why do they make such a big deal about the host, all they do is present the presenters....as host Ann Hathaway was wonderful and genuine; James Franco was wooden and acted like he was stoned. I enjoyed the film clips that we creatively edited together...hey it is the Academy Awards honoring film so they should do more with film and less with non scripted actors or have better writers feeding them their lines.

New week and new month...Adam's Birthday is tomorrow...it will be March 1 not February 29 so look alive people and remember it is his birthday.
