Easter this year. The Easter bunny left his usual trail of colored eggs, chocolate bunnies and grass. Man, that stuff gets everywhere! And no, my kids are not too old to look for eggs. They never will be!!!
Brianna's modern art. Guess this is what happens when she gets impatient waiting for the eggs to dye, so she got creative.
Aaaaand the eggs, that take forever to get dark enough. Our family definitely does not have a lot of patience!!
I also like snowmen, and snowflakes.....
I've done a bright one for Brianna, and a crazy one for Conner. I'm sure they will get more down the road. Conner uses his every night. He loves to sleep cold, then snuggle under a bunch of quilts. Brianna uses hers on her bed, but it's more decorative I think. 
This year Brianna participated in the Elementary Ballroom program. She was in Level 1. She and her partner Richard were the overall couple. That meant that they knew all the dances well,and would draw a dance out of a hat and perform it. Grovecrest actually won the best overall points at one comp. They were amazing!
This is Conner. Yup. Really. This is the promo pic that his director used for the year in review CD. Schweeeet. Handsome little man if I do say so.....
Voodoo was invited to headline Salt Lake's Eve celebration. They were on the stage at the Gallivan center, jumbo tv's spread around. It was sooo fun! In fact, the band that played just before them was Neon Trees. Before they were really super well known. It was a fun evening. Brianna and I hung out and danced, while Brad helped backstage. Maybe they will get invited back again!
Brianna and I had a date and went to see this show. We watch it every week, and it was so cool to see our favorite dancers live. The are all amazingly talented dancers, and it's a dream of Brianna's to be on the show when she is old enough. Only 6 more years to wait.
Brianna is soooo excited for the show to start. I got major mom points for taking her!
Of course, she can't sit still for a minute. If there is any room at all, and even sometimes when there isn't room, she is dancing, and leaping, and kicking.
Girls night out! Fun times.
Waiting, waiting, waiting....
But what a great show to wait for!! Brianna really wishes it would come back, I told her season 6 winners will be here in spring time or so. She said she doesn't want to wait that long :)
This was a running joke all show. Two of the contestants on the show had to do a Russian folk dance. It was pretty interesting, and during this show, they kept sneaking on stage in costume trying to do the dance. They finally got to do it, with all the dancers. It was a lot of fun to watch.
So, this is Conner's rubix cube. He has had it for years, but I found it when I cleaned his room. (yes, I cleaned, and Brianna) he sat down and solved it. I thought, huh, so messed it up. He solved it again. He can do it in about 2 1/2 minutes now. Wow. I mean, I knew my kids were brilliant, but they just keep showing me its true!
Yup, solved it again.
Here is Brianna in her new pointe shoes. She has been working on getting her feet strong enough for about a year or so. She made it! I got a little teary, I admit it. I have told her since she was tiny that one day I wanted to see her in pointe shoes. My little ballerina is growing up, sniff sniff.
Pleasant Grove Marching Band 2009 season. This year the band was amazing. The show they did was to music from Cirque Du Soleil. Mr. B choreographed all the movements, and the band scored higher than they have since 1993!!! Several first places, several best overall, and a superior rating. Way to go!!
One of the parades this summer. I think they did four. In the sun, marching and playing the whole way. Yipes.
A few of the amazing trophies they won this year. The big one was the best one! 
The kids were so excited. They worked hard for this one, and deserved it.
Conner striking a pose. My cute little boy :)
Attention. Getting ready to play the best ever!
Drum majors salute. They led the band to some amazing performances.
