Wicked!

Months ago before tickets to Wicked went on sale and sold out at warp speed...I tagged onto Tina's season tickets and was able to get me and my parents tickets to see it! I have seen it twice before (once in Denver & then again in New York) and this one was fabulous as well!!! And it was really fun to go see it with my parents since they have never seen it before! I think they really loved it too! It was so much fun!

Happy Birthday Reba!!!

Yesterday (March 28th) was Reba's Birthday! And me, being me, had a birthday party for her like I do every year!!!!

I have ALOT of Reba stuff...shirts, posters, magazines, books, cardboard cutouts, dvds, cds, etc, etc, etc. This year I didn't pull out very much of it...but here is what I did set up...


I know I've mentioned it before but I have the best friends! Here is a picture of all those who came to my party! (Not because they are really Reba fans but because they love me!!! Well some are Reba fans...)


Standing behind couch: Megan, Jeff, Casey, Me
On Couch: Jenn, Amy, Brandi, Cory, Leah
On Floor: Lana, Craig, Emily, Chris

We sang Happy Birthday, had cupcakes, played Name That Tune with Reba songs, (it was just me against Casey. I won the first round, he won the second!) watched some episodes of The Reba Show, and just had a good time!!

I LOVE REBA!!!!!!

Music Man

The other reason I haven't been blogging lately...



Before Show Boat, I helped my good friend Leslie with Music Man at the Terrace Plaza Playhouse. There are still 7 more performances...so if you get a chance, Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays til April 10th...

Show Boat!

For those of you wondering what I have been doing lately and why I haven't been updating...

I have been working on Stage Crew...


For Show Boat (at Layton High)....


Which means I got to work with...

(my best friend Emily)

And also with...

(I LOVE Brandon!!!)

Seriously...what more could a person ask for? I have the best life! Even though I am completely exhausted (the boat is HUGE and hard to move, I'm kinda a wimp!) and still haven't caught up on my sleep (we closed Saturday) there is no where else I would have rather been! So so so much fun! And who can ask for more than that! Thank you Emily for asking me to help! And Thank you Brandon for letting me be your little shadow!

There were many more pictures taken, friendships made, experiences gained, fears overcome...more about Show Boat later...

Walmart Bingo

I got this email at work the other day....
so we called our friend Diana who works at Walmart in Avondale and she told us that if we'd fax it to her, she'd fill it out at lunch and fax it back! And this is what we got a couple hours later...

I LOVE DIANA!!!

So cute....

The only thing cuter than this....


Is this...


I LOVE BABY WILL!!!!!

Seriously. Love. Him.

It's amazing what you can find at the playhouse....

So years and years ago before the playhouse was the playhouse, it was a grocery store. Actually I think it was multiple grocery stores, but at one point in the late 70's and early 80's it was a Smith's. I knew that my dad worked there, I even remember the days when we were a one car family and he had to be to work early early early in the morning and they would carry me out to the car and lay me in the back seat asleep, we would drop him off at work, come home and my mom would carry me back to bed! Good old memory!

But anyways...the place has been remodeled and changed a million times...so imagine my surprise when we found this one the stairs going upstairs...


Gordon Skinner is my mom's youngest brother and worked there starting in 78! How funny is that! When we saw it I called my dad and said "I know you worked here...but did Gordon work here?" to which he of course replied "Yes" so between that and the fact that it is totally his handwriting...this is my uncle!!! Isn't that awesome! And I am not 100% positive...but the 'that's right' written underneath could easily be my dad's handwriting!!

Roasting!

Okay...so we really like to roast things! Cooking things over a fire is something we love to do! We love to walk down the isle at Walmart and find things that we can roast! Some of our favorites are chicken nuggets (my personal favorite), mini egg rolls, mini corn dogs (I don't actually like that because I don't like corn dogs but my friends say they're really good!), sandwiches (we have special sandwich roasting sticks), and of course the traditional marshmellows! Well its been a LONG time since we had a fire and could roast things!

We have a pretty nice little heater in our basement (because it is always FREEZING down there!) and so Jenn brought over some marshmellows and tried to roast them! First she had to fasten a long roasting device. It is made out of paper clips and lots and lots of duct tape...


Then she put the marshmellow on....




And roasted the marshmellow!

It was a very good attempt and she tried really hard and definitely gets an 'A' for effort...but unfortunately...even though a heater gets really hot...it does not effectively roast a marshmellow...more like crystalizes it or something...I'm not really sure! So anyways...it was very fun to watch but was not very successful!
