Ballroom Concert!

Well, for those of you who live nearby, this week is your opportunity to come view yours truly in the UVSC Winter Ballroom Concert!
Last night was our opening night, but you still have a whole weekend to come AND a Monday- a Great FHE idea. . . .
Anyhow, there's a show tonight at 7:30, a matinee tomorrow at 2, and tomorrow evening at 7:30 AND a show Monday at 7:30.
Last night went pretty well for an opening night. . . . very few blunders- a broken shoe, me almost being dropped. . . .
Hopefully, I'll get some pictures up on here soon so stay tuned- BUT the best thing you could, besides living vicariously through photos, is come yourself!

Come, Those Who Plough The Seas!

So, here we all are at the UVSC Ballroom teams' Halloween party! It was a lot of fun and everyone has told me that my children are the cutest children, ever. They sure make great pirates, that's for sure!

Head Honcho's Birthday Party

Some pictures of the actual celebration!

Fun With Leaves

This is a sort of "Where's Waldo"-esk, or perhaps an I-Spy sort of picture. Can you find the three monkies hidden in the leaves?

The Head Honcho Goes Over the Hill

Yep, it's true. My darling has taken one giant step closer to kicking the bucket- he turned 30 this week! Patrick been to a lot of different places and done a lot of things. He is a great father and he has worked so hard and put up with a lot to support his family and I am so grateful for him! Not to mention the fact that he has a great sense of humor, is very friendly, and willing to do anything I ask of him! I love you, Snookums, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

First Day of Snow!

When I say "first" I REALLY mean first! Our children haven't really experienced snow since we've been living in lovely snow-free environments these past six years. The most snow we got was in VA- a light sugar-coating that melted two seconds after the sun came out! So, it was really exciting to see a wonderful fluffy blanket of snow this morning when we woke up!
Of course, it was mostly melted by the evening but we did manage to get this one photo for your viewing enjoyment- Oh, and the picture may be posed but those poor little cherubs all got hit with snowballs after the camera stopped rolling, beastly father!
