Mom of the Year Award and Much Much More

Yesterday I threw a "Halloween Party" for Mercedes and her 3 and 4 year old friends. It was a lot of fun but when it was over I was exhausted. For those of you who don't know my sleeping habits, . . . I don't. I don't go to bed until at least midnight and I never, Never, NEVER nap. But after this party I took a long 1 1/2 hour nap. It was all worth it though. Here are a few more pics of the cute big kid babies.

Alan Memmott and Reuben Whetton!

Maggie Robinson a.k.a. High School Musical Cheerleader!

~ oh . . . the pressure!! ~

Tonight I had the honor of filling in for Kristy at choir practice playing the piano. As many of you know, our ward choir is led by Brother Maurice Bowman. A man learned in the arts of music and feared by many (only when it comes to music.) I received the music earlier in the day and sat at my piano trembling at the idea of facing him. But when duty calls . . . . So I arrived at the chapel and sat down on the bench. Bro. Bowman of course was there with other members of the choir still sauntering in. He cues me to begin the intro to the first song and immediatly gives me a look like, " I don't know what you think that was, but it wasn't music." And so goes the remainder of the practice. The best part came afterwards when (and I'm not even exaggerating) every member of the choir stopped me on the way out to tell me not to feel bad, and that even the best piano players in the ward are nervous to play for the infamous Brother Bowman. Thanks guys, thanks for making me feel better! And Kristy, if you ever read this . . . . NEVER LEAVE TOWN AGAIN!!

P.S. Brother Bowman is one of the nicest men I've ever met. This was just a funny experience that made me appreciate those who also love music like I do.

Rancho Dublan Fall Ad Campaign

Rancho Dublan has been searching for a company spokesmodel. So I jumped on the chance to get Mercedes into the spotlight. I called up our agent, Aunt Rachelle, and got her to take these glam shots of her. Doesn't she look glorious?
p.s. the above story is a farce. Aunt Rachelle took these pictures because she wanted to. Thanks Aunt Rachelle, Mercedes sure had fun!!

Success!!

Thanks to the help of my dearest best friend, Rachelle, my blog is back up to standard (at least mine I suppose.) I hope you all have a frightful Halloween with lots of tricks and treats (yummy!)
