Matinee Movie Friday

Because Brian does not work on Fridays and we do not have small children any more, Brian and I try to go to the matinee on Fridays. Yesterday we saw New In Town. The storyline was totally predictable, but it was really funny. This movie made smile because:

1. I have cute, crazy scrapbooking friends
2. I live in Utah, NOT Minnesota
3. My husband likes chick flicks more than I do
   

15 Minutes Of Fame

Cassidy was "chosen" to be one of the featured brides in Utah Valley Bride Magazine, winter edition. The magazine called Cassidy in November to let her know she was going to be in the magazine. We didn't have any idea what pictures they were using until we saw the magazine, I think it turned out great. I scanned these pics and they turned out way grainy, so if you get a chance, check out the magazine.

What Color Tie Should I Wear?

My cute, neice Morgan went to the Preference Dance at her high school last weekend. Morgan is NOT a crowd follower and she did not want to go to the dance and end up with the same dress as 12 other girls. So she was looking online for unique prom dresses and found this cool dress she could order that was made out of ties. But she did not have time to order it. Her mom wanted her to wait and order it for another dance. Morgan was determined to have this dress, so she enlisted the help of my sister Janae (not her mother.) Janae has the ability and desire to look at about anything and make it herself. (Maybe she was adopted, because this is not a trait anyone else in my family has.)

Look how cute!!

The ties were donated by dads, uncles and cousins. Check out the cute converse boots.

Christmas

Ok, so I didn't take any pictures of Christmas this year. I'm not sure why, I had the camera out, all ready to go, but some how never really took any. Maybe because there was no Cassidy.

Colton thought it was the best Christmas ever, because he unexpectedly received an XBox 360. How big of a nerd are you if you have a PS3, Nintendo WII and an XBox?

I didn't take pictures, but Brian did take hours of video. Nothing says fun like rewatching the opening of gifts (especially with Brian's commentary.) Brian didn't think he was getting anything GOOD because he didn't KNOW what he was getting. (Could his wife actually pick things out without being told?) He was pleasantly surprised. I think his favorite was the GPS w/bluetooth for the FJ. He has been coveting the bluetooth in my car for the past 2 months.

Colin got a cool nitrous scooter, fishing pole, and an Ipod Touch. And yes, you can all agree with Colton, there is no reason a nine year old needs an Ipod Touch.

Cassidy is all grown up, so she just got $$$.

I got this cool new laptop, that has nifty new features I don't know what to do with.

Christmas was very nice, we missed Cassidy, but we spent time with my family and our cute, little grandbaby. All things considered, I would give it 2 enthusiastic thumb's up! (And my christmas is all put away!!)

GO UTES!!!
