Variety Show 2010

February brings the tradition of Variety show,which always proves to be a night of fun entertainment. The choir students at Borah have to audition for the show as part of semester finales even though Aaron's solo performance didn't make the cut but his Tactus group did a group number that was funny, and the women choir and Tactus did a combined number. This is such a popular concert they perform it two nights. Brianna and I went one night and Michael and I went the second night.




They sang "dude looks like a lady". They wore the women choir outfits and put make up on, they totally "rocked it " Aaron was the lead guitar player and they body surfed him to the front of the stage.....I laughed so hard and I'm sure the people next to me were laughing as well. So we had another year of traditionally a fun entertaining evening thanks Aaron for participating in Borah Choir. I enjoyed the Variety Show, again!


Unfortunately the camera was giving me a hard time and I wasn't able to get a video of their number so I just have these pictures and it's doesn't do their performance justice but it is what I have. This will help me with the memory. Until next year's variety show.

President's Day

We had a long weekend for President's day and thought we would go walk around the capital building. Since the remodeling and re-dedication ceremony were complete it would be a good time to go and "see" all that they had done. It was amazing the detail they had put into the stone and all the rooms that they finished.

I didn't have my camera Brianna had taken the camera with her to tour the town with her friends who were visiting. So you can't see a lot of the detail with these pictures from my cell phone, but still cool to see what they have done. Taking a leisure tour of the building was nice way to spend a cold February afternoon and President's Day. I am blessed to live in a country where we elect our president's and I have the freedoms that many do not. I am blessed !!
We finished it off with some good lunch. I love living in the capitol city.

Day for love

Valentines is a Hallmark holiday for many but for me it is a time to be grateful for all the things I love, my beautiful children, my husband and good friends.
I was able to go out Friday night with Cindi, we went to see the movie "valentines day" it was a good chick flick with a message that you should recognize the love you have in your life and not take it for granted. We then went and had some good Mexican food and conversation. They had to kick us out of the restaurant. We didn't realize that they actually closed at 10. I love spending time with my friends thanks Cindi for spending an evening with me!
Saturday morning I got up and made those I love a delicious pancake breakfast.

I also wrote then a "valentine" tell them all the things I love about them.

Brianna had friends visiting for the long weekend and I sure they could feel the "Love" at our house.
I love my children I had sent a care package up north to Jenica and Emorie so they two would know how much I love them. And most of all my husband, who I love the most. I recognize that with out him I wouldn't have these great children. This year we will also celebrate our anniversary on Feb. 17. I love you Michael!!

Family Night

Family Night at our house means eating out. We have had fun trying new places for dinner. I enjoy going "out" when some else cooks me dinner.
Having read a review of this restaurant in the Boise weekly and seeing it on "Diner's, drive-ins and dives". We had to give it a try. So we were off to Donnie Mac's Trailer Park Cuisine . It was a different atmosphere. They had live music playing as we dined on benches that were once the back seat of you car, or you could eat in the "car" the booth was separated by a shower curtain, hope your getting the picture. As for the food they had trailer park cuisine you could have mac n cheese,nachos or burgers and even deep fried twinkies for dessert.


We enjoyed our dinner and will be back in the summer when we can dine outside on that patio.

"Dyno"mite birthday

January 15 my baby boy is 16. Brianna's gift to Aaron was a HOT breakfast before he left for school. She giving of her time to get up and make him breakfast before he left at 6:30. What a treat. I'm sure that started his day right.

You had a birthday shout "hoo-ray" YOU turn 16 today!!!!!
Aaron I remember so much about the day you were born and came to our family. We were watching football at the hospital waiting for you to come and when you did it was late and dad had to go home before getting to hold you those were the rules at that hospital. When they finally brought you into my room I spent those next quiet moments thanking my Heavenly Father for sending me a son, one who had so much hair, long eye lashes, was healthy and strong. Our family was truly blessed that day. Your taller than me now but you still have all that dark brown hair and long eye lashes, you'll always be my baby boy. Now as your turning sixteen and getting ready to do all those exciting things drive, date, have a job, earn you eagle and become a priest, I am even more proud to be your mom and thank my Heavenly Father for YOU as my son. I will never forget January 15, 1994. I LOVE YOU

Happy New Year
