Revenge of the NERD

I have to tell everyone about the new series I am reading. There are 4 books total, I am in the 3rd book and they are pretty good. (Keep in mind I am easily entertained) It is a series by Scott Westerfeld and the books are Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras. It is a teenage series so right at my reading level. Haha. But seriouly if you want a brainless fast read they are entertaining. If you read them let me know what you think. :)

Stadium of Fire!!!!

It's official. My dance girls once again got invited to perform in the dance number at the Stadium of Fire. SO FUN. I am so excited and so happy that I wanted to share this with everyone. Its such a fun experience for me but mostly for the girls. Denise (the lady I teach for) has worked so hard to get our studio recognized and appreciated. For those of you who aren't aware of what the Stadium of Fire is, its one of the biggest 4th of July celebrations in the United States, it is held at the Lavel Edwards Stadium in Provo and gets broadcast to the troops all around the world. They have had some fun performers in the past years including Miley Cyrus last year (my jr. dancers were going crazy when they found out about her coming), Taylor Hicks, Brooks and Dunn, and Leanne Womack. Its is a fun celebration for everyone. It is a lot of work but well worth it. We have dance practice the whole month on June and the day before and day of the performance we have all day practices in the stadium in some HOT conditions. But the dancers are troopers and happy to be there. I am SO thankful for the opportunity to teach these girls. I love them so much. To me, teaching them is so much more than just dance I get to see these girls grow in so many different ways. I am thankful for dance and the joy it brings into my life. There is nothing better for me than to show emotion through dance and to be able to feel that emotion watching dance. It is a big part of me and who I am. I am thankful to Eddie for his support and for letting me continue do something that I love even if it means sitting through a Miley Cyrus concert. I am so EXCITED for the Stadium of Fire and happy to be apart of it. I will get some pictures asap so you all can see the fun that goes into this crazy dance life of mine.

We're Back!

I told you I'm not very good at this blogging thing, I really do try. We are just super busy. Anyway... So its only been a couple of months since our last update and there really has only been one major thing I haven't told everyone about....the SUGAR BOWL and boy oh boy was it fun. New Orleans is a very different place than Salt Lake. Totally different life style and culture. It was super fun to experience it but I was happy to come home after a week. We were able to see a lot of stuff there.

Ok so along with the many beads you can get there its also very popular to get feathered masks. I am pretty sure I didn't feel half as stupid as my brothers did wearing this so I thought I would pass it on so everyone could get a good laugh.
FANS FEST!! Wouldn't I be a great football player???


Eddie got the football all the way to the end.

Me with Brian Johnson, Freddy Brown, and Paul Kruger

Sugar Bowl Chapions!!! 2nd ranked college football team. It was so much fun to be there and experience that amazing game and the whole undefeated season. Go Utes!

The cemeteries in New Orleans are CREEPY. Everyone gets buried in tombs and they are all old and broken and scary.

Elli and Izzy my cute little nieces.

It was such a fun trip. I am happy that I got the opportunity to go and I am glad I had my whole family with me. I wouldn't have wanted to go with anyone else.
