Iceberg Ahead!

Funny, quick story that I want to blog about:

I pulled into the Broadbent's driveway this morning to give Ellie a ride to the bus. I was in my own bus, the suburban, and backed out a little bit faster than I should have. I slammed in to- and drove over the snow bank at the entrance of their driveway.

Of course, the suburban bounced up and down like crazy! I was praying that the kids wouldn't notice because this is the type of event I don't like them relaying to Jason.

Suddenly, I heard Cayden yell out, "Iceberg ahead!" in an english accent.

He noticed.

I laughed so hard.

He's funny!

Just here...

I feel like a slug this week.

I don't know why. I just don't want to do anything.

I thought it would be nice to have a free week with nothing planned, but now I'm discovering that I need a schedule and appointments, otherwise, I just don't get dressed!

I did, however, finally unpack the last suitcase from our vacation.

It only took nine days.

And, I made my blog a bit more springy because I'm sick of the smog! Bring on some sunshine!

Shake your tail feathers

Hannah had her first dance recital of the year tonight. Their costumes had feathers all over the backside! I can't believe I didn't get a pic of it. They are so cute!

I arrived at 5:15 for the 7:00 show.

Someone had to save all the seats.

The brothers (as Hannah calls them) did NOT want to come to her recital. I reminded them that we are a family and we support each other in all of our events.

See how happy they look to be there. I think they really enjoyed it!

Blaine, Marie, and uncle Bryboo came to support. I think they were pleasantly surprised at how totally awesome Hannah danced!

My mom has a bad cold and can't stop coughing, so I took video of the grand event for her.

Hannah's best bud, Savannah, is in a different class. Her costume was "wild!"

This is a quick pic I took of Hannah's hair while driving. It was the first time I did a tight bun, so I was quite impressed with myself!

The end of the blog...

(Hannah just sucked the juice from a lemon or heard I was deleting my blog)

I've been seriously considering deleting my blog.

I check FB every day now, and don't always have much to blog about. None of my posts are attracting many comments, which makes me think no one is really reading. So, not blogging anymore seemed like a reasonable thing to do.

THEN, yesterday and today, I've had six or seven people tell me they saw my pics of Hannah's baptism and one said she saw I had gone to CA for my sister's graduation.

People are reading.

I will continue my sporadic, non-adventerous blogging.

Comments would be nice.

As long as they're nice comments!

She's always been Great, but now she's 8!

Hannah's special day.

It turned out better than I could have expected! Thanks to everyone who participated in the program and to all of you who came and showed your support. It means so much to us!

We only got a couple of pictures before my camera battery died (the only thing that went haywire today). Luckily, Bryon had a camera, so I have more pics of her in her "real" dress with lots of family.

My beautiful mom gave a talk about the Holy Ghost and mentioned my Dad, without losing it. I was crying, but my Mom pulled it off. It was wonderful!

Jenny Norris also gave an awesome talk on the Baptism. She said she was really nervous, but you would have never known it. She gave her some really cute gifts with her talk. Hannah thinks of the Norris' as her second family, so I know it meant so much to her to have Jenny speak.

Cayden also made me tear up when he sang "Baptism." I know he was nervous, but he has a beautiful voice. It was so perfect to hear him right before the baptismal ordinance.

I love all of you! Thank you so much!

Our cute little family!

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I am so blessed!
