Photo of the day 9/365

For my music class that I'm currently enrolled in, I have to attend 5 different concerts. We have now attended Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band, and the Utah Symphony at Taylorsville Dayzz. Last night we were able to attend the Jon Schmidt concert at the Sandy Ampatheater, it was a great show. Sorry I'm a day late on posting, we were pretty tired when we got home last night.

Where We've Been

I don't have pictures for the first 2 events. My camera decided to eat them. No clue why.

On June 19th, Chase and I went to see Disney's Up in 3D, it was a cute movie. Definitely not worth the price to see it in 3D though, nothing jumped out, and the glasses kind of made me sick. (I did take a picture of us before the movie started with the goofy glasses, so imagine that here.)

Next on the 20th we attended the Jordan river rotary park fundraiser and classic car show. My dad is a member of the rotary club, and asked us if we would like to go, we figured since he was paying for our ticket we would. We invited Chases cousin Parker along, he enjoyed it a lot more than we did. Again the camera was full of car pictures that Parker had taken, and my camera ate them. Camera must think that car pictures are tasty. MMMMM oily.

My sister Mindy and her family were in town visiting last week (June 23-27), so we spent most of the week with them just hanging out. We had a barbecue, went to the splash park, the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house, and the Lehi Children's parade
"Scruff" and I, in front of the temple. He's since had a haircut and shaved his face.

Last night (June 29th) we attended the Utah Symphony performance at Taylorsville Dayzz. Chase is currently enrolled in an intro to music class, and has to attend 3 classical, and 2 concerts of his choice before the end of the semester. This was the second concert we've been to in the last month. The first was Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band at the Sandy Amphitheater in the rain. It was let's just say interesting.
The "normal" picture, after at least 5 goofy ones of Chase, this is what we got.
The Symphony conductor David Cho, he did a great job, but still needs to work on his English quite a bit.

In between all the hanging out with sisters, and concerts. I've been helping my mom with wedding cake central. A 5oth wedding anniversary cake for June 29th. A wedding cake for June 30th, and another wedding cake for July 1st. If you can even call the one for the first a cake, the whole thing is made out of cereal. Pictures to come soon.

Phantom

Chase and I are so lucky to have the parents that we have. It just happens that Chases parents have season tickets to the productions at Hale Centre Theatre. They are in Mexico for their birthdays, so Chase and I were able to go see Phantom using their tickets. It was a great production. The acting was great and the actress who played Christine had a beautiful voice, the music was mediocre (and totally different from the broadway production), but definantly not the Phantom I have come to know and love. And I'm not just referring to the movie version that came out a few years ago (I've only watched that once). When I was 12 years old I was able to see the real broadway type production while on vacation with my parents in Atlanta. I didn't really understand it then, but loved the music. My sisters found out later and my dad took Catrina and Brena and one of their friends to see it in San Francisco.
Thanks again Guy and Vicki for the great date night!!

Valentines Day

It was a great Valentines day here. Chase myself and his cousin Parker spent most of the day at Brighton snowboarding. Ok really I spent most the time on my butt. I did learn a lot and was able to not fall so much by the end of the day. The picture above is of me with the tree I ran into (you can see where the snow is gone off the tree where I hit) and then got stuck under, Chase had to pull me out. That would have been a great video. I did rest in the lodge for a bit, while Chase and Parker got in a few runs without having to stop every few feet to wait for me.

Chase got the movie Nic and Norahs infinite playlist, with some treats. I got a gift certificate for a massage, we'll see how that goes when it happens.

Thanks for a great Valentines day and being so patient with me on the slopes babe. Love you Lubber!!

Body Worlds

I am lucky enough to have a father in law that thinks the world of me, and loves to take Chase and I out with him. Last night we were able to go see body worlds with he and my mother in law. I didn't think it would be possible, because the tickets were so much so of course Chase and I were excited to go see this exhibit. I wasn't so sure about how I would do with this because I am a pretty big wuss when it comes to death and bodies etc. I do have to admit that it did make my stomach turn a bit, but that also could have been because I hadn't eaten enough lunch. The exhibit was actually really cool to see. I'd also worn the wrong shoes for the occasion, we had to stand in line for an hour and a half, and then it took around an hour to go through the exhibit with all the other people. It's crazy to see what is really in your body, and what it's made of. After seeing the smokers lung, I would never smoke. They need to show something like that to kids to help them never smoke.

I think the hardest part of the exhibit for me was the baby room, showing all different babies at different stages along a pregnancy. They do have a warning as you go in that these babies were not savable in the period of time that the exhibit came from.

I wish I would have been able to take pictures, to remember some of the amazing things. They are just not allowed so the picture at the top I took off their website.

So thanks again Guy and Vicki for the great evening, and the tasty pizza and gelato afterwards.
