S.Y.T.Y.C.D.

So You Think You Can
Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance.


So Mandy, Jen and I went down to the E Center on Tuesday night, not to try out but to watch those amazing dancers from last season. Sometimes I miss seeing my girls dance and sometimes I just don't (mostly the traveling to see my girls dance). Tuesday was one day I missed it. Seeing the joy and happiness that dance gives these people is amazing and knowing that they know they are bringing joy has got to be the best feeling in the world. I have never been one to be in the spot light unless I wanted to be, but never to perform. I had chills the whole night and my throat hurts now to from cheering. I loved it. Here are some pics from that night.

Your Mama Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock and Roll...Whatever

Well the Fourth of July weekend has come to a close... It was a great one too, even though my kids are no where in sight. Courte still in KY and Kirsten and Tanner in WY. But, my cute friends Jim and Julie were here to keep us company.
The weekend began on Thursday, July 3rd, Todd and I headed down to SLC to the ESA (formly known as the Delta Center) Energy Solutions Arena. We saw Dokken and Bret Michaels with Poison. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I love Bret, he is on my list of people I would divorce Todd, to be with in a second. Todd is very aware of the list.


Don Dokken, I think he kind of looks like Meatloaf.

C.C. Deville



The Bass Player from Dokken and our concert buddy,

I found her to be very observant, she thought that Todd of course looked like he was in his forties,
but not me. I think she was pretty smart.
Then on Friday the Fourth of July we had our usual crowd my family at my house for the parade, lunch and fireworks...


At the parade... Justin, Ene, Francene and Cameron (nephew, sister, neice-in-law and nephew).





Joey and Victoria (sister and neice)


After parade festivities lunch, fair at the park and usually just sit and enjoying everyone.


Vannessa and G'ma


Grandpa doing just one of the things he does best.

Cameron and Francene


Todd and I didn't stay for the fireworks because we went to the STYX concert with friends. Here is Todd and Julie in front of our dream vehicle, Julie posing for her engagement picture. Kind of Redneckish don't ya think.




STYX was pretty cool.











Jim and his dad, the car used to be his dads, it was the giveaway car for this year... A stupid girl won it. I think Jim was very sad.













This is me and Julie at the Crusin' on Saturday. Are we just so cute. Jim and Todd are pretty lucky!
