Not So Private

So I went private and thought that was pretty boring. I miss some of the people who were commenting that I had forgotten to add. I think the private thing is more of a hassle that it was worth. Besides.....my life is so boring who would want to do anything with my "information" anyway?

I am officially unprivate.

Rocky Mountain "STAR"

Sydney's dance team. She is a Small Star this year.


Ray-Ray, Miana, Brianna, and Sydney



This is the entire team. It is really fun to watch them dance. As you can see, the group is pretty big this year. I even got a bit brave and signed up to do adult hip hop. I really enjoy dancing with the other women and our instructor Michelle is AMAZING!! I keep telling her I need to be in dance special ed but she keeps encouraging me. Maybe I will one day be able to do the entire routine without standing there wondering what I am doing there.

Halloween 2009

For those of you who don't know....I HATE Halloween. I am seriously the worst mother in the world because I could care less if my kids dressed up, went trick or treating or even celebrated this holiday.

My friend Wendy just had a back procedure done so I took over some pizza for dinner (yeah me and my amazing cooking abilities). Doug and Wendy had us come over and helped the kids get dressed up and sent them out with their kids to enjoy the night. We sat and watched a movie. Yep, I can do this kind of Halloween. But for the record, I still HATE this holiday.

So Busy!

This post is going to be short, to the point and without photos....sorry!

Since the last post, Zack got braces so we now have a tin-grin, silver-smile, metal-mouth tween. And he LOVES them. He is such a trooper.

Syd had her tonsils and adenoids taken out and has recuperated wonderfully even though she did have her teacher call and tell me she was not feeling well (but when I mentioned to her she could have a Popsicle when she got home if she stuck it out she was miraculously better).

Sharman has been busy hunting with his Dad. Nothing yet, but still trying.

As for me, we made if through this year's Primary Program and no one ended up dead. I do have to again apologize to my Primary girls for threatening to kill them if them if they didn't be quiet after sitting next to one incredibly naughty young man.

Blue

I am kind of blue. This has been a rather yucky couple of weeks.

My kiddos have been sick.

I have a co-worker and his wife that after trying for 5 years finally got pregnant with twins through invitro only to miscarry.

One of the members of my ward passed away yesterday morning (although he is now with his sweetheart).

The weather is cold and snowy.

My 11 year old is getting braces (now I feel like I am getting old).

My 6 year old is have surgery and I am nervous.

I miss my family.

Yep, I am BLUE.
