Party Party

This is my last post for the night. Friday night I went to a party at Gordons. Emy and Rachel were having friends over. My group played lots of mind games. We played pass the scissors, Chinese writings, and psychiatrist. Oh it is fun to play these games with people who don't know them. MuHaHaHaHa :)

Prom

After the funeral we went prom dress material hunting. Oh what great fun.... My Aunt Mary was with us too. If you've ever been in a fabric store with those 2 you'll get what I mean about great fun. Actually it wasn't to bad. I have 2 types of material. 1 is a purply silvery material with silver sparkly designs on it. The 2nd material is a clear material with sparkles all over. This will go over the 1st material. It should be gorgeous!!

Funeral

On Tuesday we (Mom, Mandy, Mary, and I) went to my mom's Aunt Mary's funeral. It was sad and funny. The only sad part about it was Grandma didn't realize it was her sister funeral. When she did she said, "You mean my own sister died and they didn't tell me?" Her sister Elaine then said, "Helen, of course they told you! You just forgot." On the last call for looks Grandma went up and stared at Mary for a few minutes. No one else went up.

Now for the funny things. Mary's son talked. He started his talk by saying, "Electrons, electrons, electrons, are no longer electrons." He was talking about the email he wrote of his mother's life. It was an excellent talk. The lady who sang did well too. My favorite was the piano playing. Man, she just could have kept on playing!

After the funeral Uncle Stan brought Grandma a walker with a seat. Oh buddy. Grandma was not happy with Uncle Stan. She told him SHE DID NOT NEED THE WALKER! Then Aunt Ann sat in the walker. Uncle Stan pushed her around the foyer. They were showing Grandma how to use it. Aunt Ann started waving as if she was in a parade. It was hilarious!!

When we were outside getting Grandma in the car Aunt Jerilyn got into the walker. She told Uncle Stan to push her to the car. Uncle Stan started to push her. Not long after starting Aunt Jerilyn stood up. Uncle Stan then said, "What are you doing? You're going to make us wreck!" Aunt Jerilyn replied, "I know you're going to make us wreck!" After this small argument she sat  back down. Uncle Stan then pushed her the rest of the way to the car.

Sorry there aren't any pics. I keep forgetting to take my camera with me.

DANCE DANCE DANCE

I don't know if you folks remember a post I had posted called Decisions...Decisions... Well in that post I was debating about a dance class. Well I decided to take. I'm very glad that I did. I have a blast and I really like all the people in it and the dance instructure. One of the dances we are doing is a Pas A Doble (I think that's how you say it). This dance is a Spanish Dance. I am one of the trickster girls. I have bruises from doing this. Well I guess I only have 1 bruise from the death fall. Scary sounding I know. The guy and girl lock arms. Then the girl just falls. The first 3 times I did this I had to close my eyes. The other trick I've learned I call it the Peter Pan trick. The guy flips the girl onto his shoulder. The girl looks like Peter Pan when he is flying. We just sit on their shoulder, until they flip us down. I lied. I learned another trick. The guy lifts us over their heads. It's kind of hard to explain. So hopefully I will get some pictures so you can see.

Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all birthdays in February!!

Surviving The Weekend

This last weekend I helped Rachel babysit. Not unusual right? Well this time it was for............... 29 hours. We had to stay overnight at Lisa and Cory Robert's house. They went a leadership training meeting at Heber Valley. She has 3 kids. One who is in preschool. The other 2 are twins. I think they are between 1 and 2. They certainly kept us on our toes. Now to be honest it was actually pretty fun. After the kids went to bed, Rachel and I played air hockey and watched BONES on their projector. It was like a big screen T.V. without the T.V. The house is huge. There are 4 rooms they use for bedrooms, and  3 or 4 rooms they use for offices. There a 4 bathrooms. Upstairs there is as mini kitchen. It was awesome. Rachel and I slept in the pirate room. It has a King sized bed, and the most comfiest mattress I'd ever slept on. I want one now! It is now my dream house that I could have realistically. My true dream house is somewhere in California. All in all the babysitting went well!

DRAMA

2 weekends ago our drama folks went to Ogden. We went to a conference at Weber State. It was a blast. We got to see the plays Into The Woods and Camelot. Both plays were excellent and the schools that performed them did a very nice job. I went to different classes. Some of them were dancing, singing, and a color code one. Rachel Gordon, LeOnna Wetzel, Kelsi Cook, and Kelsey Pugh were my partners in crime. We also listened to a guy speak. He was absolutely hilarious! I wish I could remember his name.

There were 2 unpleasant mishaps though. I didn't have a purse, which meant no money or phone. The other one was that we didn't stay for the whole conference. Other than those 2 things, I had a blast and I hope we go next year!
