Twas the Night Before Last...

I heard a knock at the door,
I went outside to answer and found toilet paper stuck to the floor

Kaylee was stressed, she did not want to clean
So she made Gracie do it...isn't she mean?
As we were cleaning, we got kind of mad, and decided we'd leave the rest up DAD!
We went inside, thinking of it no more, when then came another knock at our door...

The CULPRITS! We found them, they were all dressed in black! They were hyper and vicious, they had no kind of tact!

At first, I thought, these girls are such sissy's! Then I realized, NO WAIT!, they're related to Missy!
These 3 Glover girls, they got me so good
I never suspected Ema in her "get up" from 'da hood!
Seeing them there was such a delight...but Missy, do you know where your girls are tonight?!?

How does a regular night turn in to this? Only in my family!
It looks like he's not doing anything, right? His leg wouldn't go any farther!!!!

He was in PAIN!

They literally could not stretch any farther...Tricia and I were dying! (Scott used to be a gymnast...so funny!)

Tricia showed them up!

So did Ethan!

It was a family event.

Another one of these days...
I walked away to get something and Gracie started to feed Noah the rest of his breakfast.

First position...so sweet!
Anyone interested in a class for 18 mths-3yrs...we have it! It's a ballet/tap/tumble class. We will carry on through the summer, Friday mornings at 9:30am!

I'm sorry...I can't get enough of these dance pictures! She's my little doll...I LOVE dressing her up!

Gracie is modeling the new BLING BLING Clips we bought from Amelia! Love them! Thanks Amelia!!!

Thursday night, I went with Suzy Cummard & Tiffany Kempton, to Amber Hansen's home...the BEAD DIVA was there & I had a blast making necklaces for my girls! Didn't leave until 3am! I think it was obvious to everyone there that I don't get out much!

Can you tell she LOVES them?

Friday night, I went to watch Tricia and Kristi present their final presentations for their dance program.

This is my mom complaining about me taking pictures of her and posting them on my blog. Couldn't resist!

Chase doing what Chase does

Julie doing what Chase does

Tricia did a wonderful job on her presentation!


We all went out to eat afterward...of course!
Mean Dean & Lady Di
Julie was my date since Scott was home with the kids!
One of the speeches given at ASU was presented by a gay dancer. He taught us a lot about the techniques studied in gay and bisexual dancers. (You can imagine!) Anyway, Julie and I really learned a lot from his presentation. One demonstration was about always having one body part touching another, ex. head to head, shoulder to shoulder, etc. It looked pretty difficult, so Julie and I tried it. Turned out it was pretty easy to do. Even at Applebee's!



This picture makes me sad because soon our trio will be a duo!
Thanks for a fun night ladies!!!

Happy (Belated) Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! She just turned 29!!! AGAIN!
Her birthday was actually the 15th...Tax Day! I'm a little late!

Isn't she skinny minny on her honeymoon?!?

My mom has always been beautiful!

And she's always been a fun mom. She would dress up as Minnie Mouse every year on Halloween!

My mom & dad have had the opportunity of working together & speaking together over the years. My mom is currenty a full time Real Estate Agent for West USA Realty. She also volunteers at the Jr. High School and coaches tennis everyday. In the past, she has been a piano teacher, (she's actually written some of her own songs), & has been the inspiration behind many of the things Tricia & I do, including the forming of Tricia's dance studio, the Christmas Show that is held at MHS every year, and for many years, has been a Cinderella Director, which involves running a youth development program. She never ceases to amaze me with the ideas that she comes up with & the good that she spreads throughout the community.

At my wedding
My mom has had the opportunity to work with so many Young Women over the years. She served as the YW Pres. in Lyn Rae Ward, she was the Stake Camp Director for 2 years, and now she currently serves in the Stake YW's Presidency. She loves working with the YW and truly makes a huge difference in their lives.
She knows how to have a good time...always the life of the party!

She's a wonderful mom & loves all of her children so much.

She's an awesome grandma too...the kids love "gamma Hale" to come over and swing with them!

When Noah was born, my mom took over for a week and helped me out so much. The day we brought him home, my mom threw a birthday party for Noah. The kids helped make a cake, it was a lot of fun!

This picture of Christ represents what is most important in my mom's life. She has such a strong testimony and is such a strength to me. Whenever I have a problem, I run to her and she helps me. She always has the answers I need and can always lead me in the right direction. I rely on her strength and ideas in almost everything I do. At this stage in my life, I have come to understand how important wonderful role models are in your life. I truly am blessed to have a mom like mine.

Our family, April 2007

Happy Birthday Mom!

Lots of BUSY fun this weekend!!!

It's kind of the same old thing you've read on this blog many times before...my life repeats itself a lot!
Saturday, 7:00 AM-ENCORE DANCE COMPETITION

Alyssa, Cloe, Jessica F. , Camille, Kaylee, Jessica C.
JUNIOR COMPANY
I'm mad that I forgot to take pictures of my own groups that were competing that day. It was so early and my numbers were first, I just totally forgot to get pictures! They all did such a great job, I was really proud of them!
Possibly our last competition together...sob! sob!

Summit Company warming up for their Irish dance. It is incredible...I LOVE it!!! By far, the best number Tricia has EVER choreographed. Not to mention how awesome these girls are this year! They won 3rd place Overall Highpoint Score for their division!!!

I had to leave the competition early and run to Ethan's T-ball game. He got to play pitcher this week!


Then I ran again to Lanna's Cinderella Pageant, where Kaylee had the opportunity to perform. I brought Gracie with me...

She was ALL mischief!

Kaylee & Madison got to see eachother. We had a BIG pizza party afterward at Peter Piper's and Madison came home with us afterward!

Cinderella Girls!!!
They had fun everywhere we went!

Arts & crafts night

They were playing hide & seek with cell phones all night...it was pretty hilarious! For anyone who watched "My Dad is Better Then Your Dad", this is the Madison that won $40,000 with her dad! She is the cutest thing & just cracks you up when you sit and talk to her! We LOVE having her over. Her & Kaylee have so much fun! She flew to CA for an audition today...good luck Madison!!!

And today,just as we had gotten the boys dressed for church, we found Ryal putting on Gracie's make-up! Should we be worried???

At least he was making a mustache!!!
