GIRLS NIGHT OUT

I got a GIRLS NIGHT OUT! I got tickets for a concert at the Tabernacle in Temple Square. I didn't care if I didn't know the music! I wanted to get out and do something cultural! I found three friends to join me (opening day of New Moon-which the four of us were not seeing). We got dinner and went to the concert. They gave out TOO many tickets-so instead of seats in the Tabernacle, we sat in the Assembly Hall and watched and listened to the O.C. Tanner Gift of Music Concert Presents Mahler's Symphony No. 2, Director Keith Lockhart, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Utah Symphony, and two soloists. It was AMAZING music and great company. (Too bad we couldn't enjoy the concert in the Tabernacle!) here is the link to the press release about the concert: http://www.mormontabernaclechoir.org/images/misc/GiftOfMusic09.pdf

Good time & GOOD friends.

After the concert, we looked inside the Tabernacle and got this picture.

Happy Birthday Charlie

Happy Birthday Charlie! Three Years old buddy! (Momma's BOY!) He blew the candles out before the happy birthday song was over-he thought he was in trouble....It was cute.

Backpack cake (from Go Diego Go).

Halloween Day

Halloween Day we took the kids up to the University of Utah. There was trick-or-treating at the old officers homes on Ft. Douglas. We took the kids up there, got a little candy & walked around. We went down to the stadium to see the football players walk into the stadium before the football game that night. I went home after that, while Jimmy went to the football game. Here are some pictures from our adventure.

There were activities for the kids to do at each home. It was fun! Students at the U decorated part of their home, dressed up, and had some creative activities for children to do.

Ashley and a cheerleader-(don't know who, but ashley wanted a picture!)

Ashley, Swoop, Sophie, and Me! Ashley got a T-shirt from Swoop! Yipee!

Sophie and DB Robert Johnson (look for him to play next year in the NFL.)

I didn't give him a chance-I help sophie out to him & said "picture with the baby". Sophie and RoJo are close.....She knew him before he made it big!

And here is the picture I tried to get with Coach Whittingham.

NO PICTURE.... I tried. I did the same 'trick'-Picture with the baby. Well, the camera didn't work and it felt like FOREVER I was trying to get my camera to take a picture...NO PICTURE (the timer got put on and I didn't notice it till later) oh, i won't forget that moment....
