another baby leaves the nest....

well sorry...that's what it felt like tonight as megan went to her first region dance. she was all dolled up (pretty cute hair, done by yours truly...) and super excited to go. i remember region dances pretty vividly (okay...insert chuckle here...it wasn't THAT long ago folks...) and i hope that she enjoys every minute of it tonight. ***updated post possible when she comes home...

you know you're a byu fan when...

...you take your old aerobic byu tshirts and make a quilt out of them!!! i just wanted to show off this aMaZiNg quilt my friend from aerobics (jolynn) made for me out of 20 of my old byu t-shirts. i told her i was just giving them to d.i. but she offered to make me this hu-MONGO quilt for me. we went and bought the fabric together about a week ago (soft cotton for the front and cozy byu flannel for the back...) and i picked it up last night. pretty neat, huh??? (the pictures are from up in the kitchen looking DOWN into the front room, to give you some perspective of how huge this thing is!!!)

FaLcOn of the QuArTeR!!!

YAY for ANNIE! She was chosen as one of only 2 7th grade girls to get Falcon of the Quarter for the 2nd quarter at Sunset Ridge Middle School. As a surprise this morning, I wrote a few paragraphs about her for the principal to read to the auditorium. Her heart was just pounding and she (thanks to my genes...) was blushing to the tips of her ears! We are so proud of her and love her to pieces!!!
