Fun Week!

Ok, so I have missed a post or two the last few weeks, so I will try to fill you in. On 2/12/08 my friend Sharee was up from St.George for a business meeting. She came up a day early so that we could get together for lunch...so Toni, Sharee, Kori, Heather, and I went to the Cheesecake Factory...so good....need I say more? Later that night, Kori and Sharee called and said "wouldn't it be fun if we came to your house and fixed you dinner, and watched a movie on the big screen?" Of course I thought this was a fabulous idea! We watched 'Freedom Writers'. Very good flick. I highly recommend it.
On 2/14/08 Heather and Kerry went to Wendover for a little get-away night. I had the girls. We had lots of fun, (as we always do), but I didn't get much sleep that night. Dantley was not content to just sleep next to me...nope, she pretty much thought that under me would be a good idea...and then the kicking...and kicking...she however slept like a rock.

After the girls went home, Troy, Ed, my friend Lindsay and I went to see Lonestar in Wendover! Great concert! They have a new lead singer who started touring with them last September. It was a bit weird at first, but he is really good. Ed likes him better. Anyway, we had great food, and a great time!

Yesterday, 3/19/08, my friend Heather had her second baby.. another boy! His name is Carter LeGrand Martin. He was 7 lbs. 5 oz, and 19 inches long. Born at 1:33pm. He is adorable. Looks alot like big brother Kaden. Anyway, congrats Heather and Mark!I am so excited for you!

Wicked clips

DisneyLand Girl's Trip!!!









Oh boy, did we have fun!!! Alot of people have said..."4 women in Disneyland without their kids? What did you do? Did you ride rides? Isn't that a little strange?" I say heck no....it was amazingly good fun... I went with Toni Broadhead, Kori Park, and Sharee Webb. We left monday afternoon, and drove to St. George to pick up Sharee...we stayed the night at her house, and left early tuesday morning to go to Anaheim. That night we went to 'Wicked' in L.A. at the Pantages Theater. This I would have to say was the highlight of the trip. If you don't know about this production, read up. (I do hear that the novel is a little bit naughty, so beware if you go this route...)It is the story of the wizard of oz before Dorothy enters the picture. It is hilarious. The music is amazing. The cast was awesome. I would go again tomorrow if I could. This is a picture of Elfphaba (wicked witch of the west) and Glinda (the good witch of the north) when they were college roommates....yep, that's right, college roommates. Anyway, if you get the chance, go see...and take me with you.
As for Disneyland, we went on Wednesday and Thursday. I would have to say that the Hollywood Tower of Terror was definately the funnest ride there. We rode it over and over again. I am posting the pictures that the ride took of us. We had alot of fun with this. As we stood in line for the ride we would decide what we would all do in the picture....I know....crazy ladies...but we had a blast. We had to ride it one time first to figure out the timing of the camera. I have a real look of terror in that one. The second picture is supposed to be of the 'see no evil monkey...except there were 4 of us, so Toni is smell no evil....Sharee really dropped the ball on this picture...speak no evil...whatever...she forgot...anyway, check out the man on the front row in the 3rd picture of us with our hands to our mouths. He was in line with us, and knew what we were planning, and is watching us to see if we really do it or not...he thought we were very cool. I am sure that's what he thought....did I mention we had fun? We really did an awful job of taking pictures...the one of Toni and I wearing red is in the restaurant in Hollywood before the play. The other is of us in the teacups at Disney. That's pretty much all I have. Sorry....too busy playing to remember I had a camera with me. Anyway, that has always been Suzette's job, and she couldn't come play....:( We missed you, Suzy....
We left to drive home on Friday morning, and drove straight through. Got home just before 10:00 pm...that's a long day by the way... anyway, it is good to have such great friends who let you be who you are, good to have great husbands who let us play without any guilt, and good to be home. Joey
