Indigo Girls Concert

We went to see the Girls tonight at Red Butte Gardens. I'm in love with this outdoor venue now. The concert was amazing!!! Great weather, great laughs with friends, couldn't ask for more. So that you feel like you were there with me - I sneaked some videos. :) When I'm in places like this - I realize that I do live in, quite possibly, the most beautiful city in the world.


and Amy sang my fav (oh don't worry, I sang along. I had to keep the video short because I couldn't keep it in anymore! haha)


Thanks Kari and Laurel for going with! Great times!

My Favourite T-Baby

So as mentioned before that we're taking Balloon Art. When I went up to Portland I brought balloons with me, but could only remember how to make the sword (it's really the easiest thing ever). Which launched us into a HUGE sword fight for at least 45 minutes. And then this conversation with my cute nephew. It's probably not cute to anyone else - but I love to see him talking so much. It wasn't long ago that he barely spoke at all. His munchkin voice is adorable and his logic astounds me. My favourite phrase from the weekend was "I doubt it means more no than yes" (clearly he hears that a lot!). And "Probably means more yes than no". So when we woke up one morning and he was staring at me - I said (from Ethan's bed next to his) "Hey Trent, do you wanna come snuggle me?" His response: "Probably". haha. Even first thing in the morning he's quite clever.

Off the blogging bandwagon.

Lately I have had nothing clever or inspired to say - so I've chosen to say nothing at all. Thumper's mom would be proud.

Last weekend I went to Portland to just chillax with the brothers and of course Mister T (Trent) which he has officially now told me "ummm..but my name is Srent" (that's what he calls himself) when I say Mister T. We had lots of fun, I'll add pictures someday I'm sure.

Yesterday I taught a scrapbooking class in Layton. I had to be peppy and in Layton at 8am on a Saturday morning. I don't even make it to work on time at 8am - and that's 10 minutes away. BLARG to that 45 minute drive. I was grouchy, I wasn't awake and these 2 ladies in my first of 2 classes were the most annoying things ever. They weren't awake either and kept doing everything wrong and then acting like I had just told them to do it. I might have dropped the F-bomb under my breath at them...haha. The ladies in class #2 were way better.

Yep - that's all I've got for this blog now.
Oh - my class for the month is Balloon Art. I learned how to make a dog and a sword last week - and already can't remember how to do either. Whatever - not like I'm actually going to become a clown in my spare time...but the class is super fun - and of course Ms. Samantha is a RIOT!

Dancin' Feet

I don't really mean that they're super coordinated - they just got jacked up tonight in tap class.

Some of you that attended college with me - this might be deja vu for you as you've possibly seen band-aids on my feet before. Who am I kidding, I love band-aids and any excuse to use them. But these are current. I went to tap class and only had one sock - so I tapped sockless in my shoes. DUMB.

YES, I'm taking Tap Dancing class. It's actually really fun - and I don't want to brag, but my friend Samantha and I are seriously the best in the class. I'm also not going to tell you that the rest of the class is over 60 probably and we might be the best because we can at least remember the moves from one week to the next. Youth wins again! But it really is a fun way to work out.

This is me doing the "Jazz Square" that I love to throw Jazz hands into just to make Samantha laugh. HAHA.

Can't get enough

Tonight I've listened to this song no less than 25 times. Something in it is striking a chord in me. I can't put my finger on it - but thought I would share. I'm normally not a HUGE Faith Hill fan...but this song is actually great. Ps - i hate the beginning where she's totally cheesy with the non famous guy. *eyeroll*

Soul

This song always makes me feel a little sunshine when I'm feeling lost, which seems to be a lot lately. Just love the simplicity of it and wish all things in life were so simple and clean. I always feel like I can do more, be more to help the good of society - but I'm too wrapped up in my own world. Maybe a New May Resolution.

Baby Brother

One of my best friends in the whole world, Laurel, had a baby boy on early early early Tuesday morning. They got to the hospital around 11 something pm...it all happened super fast, couldn't get any drugs, 4 pushes later and out comes "baby brother". They're still deciding on a name. Here is what I love about my friend Laurel. She has this traumatic birth where everyone is taking their good sweet time getting around to her, she has to suffer through natural birth - not by choice, pops out a kid at just before 1am...and texts me at 1:30am to tell me he's arrived. I love that girl! Tonight I got to go over and hold him and cuddle him. He's SOOOO cute. I pretty much hogged him the whole time - which, another reason I love her - SHE LET ME! Her daughter Rachel was a cute baby, but seemed so much more sturdy than this little guy. He is TINY! He was only a few ounces smaller - but he seems like just this tiny tiny version of a baby. I held Rachel the morning after she was born still in the hospital. He still seems tinier than that. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure - here is "baby brother". I put my vote in for Grant, which is what it was going to be - but Aaron (her husband) called a last minute audible (he coaches football for the U, so had to throw in a football term) and now they're tossing back and forth between Grant and Quinn. We'll see...
