Last Monday our orthodontist had his annual patient appreciation party at Classic Skating. The kids were able to do many fun things which included...roller skating, skooters, bounce house, blast zone, and laser tag. We had nachos and hot dogs for dinner. Skyler was grounded and was not able to come. However, Kyrsti still came with us and joined in the fun. Mariah was home sick throwing up and was not able to come either. Joe stayed home with the two kids. We had a good time and really appreciate Dr. Elison having this party. Thanks, Dr. Elison.

Ward Halloween Party

IronMan aka Cayden
Minnie Mouse aka Mariah

Last weekend we had our ward Halloween Party. We had a good time eating soup and chili. The best part was the caramel apples that a lady in our ward made (boy were they yummy). We had a donut eating contest, where Skyler came in 2nd place. Then we went trunk or treating. Skyler did not dress up this year because he is too old. Kaylee was a pirate, Mariah was Minnie Mouse, and Cayden was IronMan. Hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween. BOO!!!

Dance Recital

Yesterday was Skyler, Kaylee, and Mariah's dance recital. This year it was held at the Empress Theater on Magna Main Street. We got there early which is a miracle in itself. I was feeling like it was going to be a good day. When we walked in we were told that they did not have us scheduled to do the dance recital there. They had the stage set up for a play later that day and they were unwilling to move anything. So we all sat and waited while they figured out what was going on. We were finally let into the theater and they had only 3 rows facing the front, the rest were side views. We were trying to save 20 seats for family and friends and people were not very happy with me. Then Skyler forgot one of his costumes and they had to improvise for that dance. The kids did a great job clogging though. Skyler and Kaylee were both awarded an 90% and higher attendance award.

After the show it was Mariah's turn to do a tumbling pre-show for her studio. I was walking her down to where she was supposed to be and I fell. I twisted my ankles and then slid down about four steps on my knees before coming to a stop. Needless to say I was absolutely humiliated and hurt at the same time. I am Ok but my body hasn't moved that way in years and I hurt. I was really glad to leave by the time it was over.

We are so proud of the kids and the hard work they put into their dancing.

Good Job Skyler, Kaylee, and Mariah.
