Sorry for the lack of posting

So I realize I have things to post about such as the SYTYCD show but I haven't done it yet for a couple of reason. First of all, I need to get the pictures Kandra took on her camera because my little thing didn't zoom very well. Secondly, I have been crazy busy with work lately. We've had any where from 7-12 babies for about the last month and a half or so. It seems like as soon as one goes home lately there's another one that comes in shortly after. Most of them have been pretty little ones so they're in there for a while unlike the term kids who are sick and are usually in there only for a week or so. So I'm using work as my excuse to my lack of posting, take it or leave it. And don't expect me to be posting about the show or the other happenings in our life until maybe the end of this week since I'm pretty much working the next 6 nights. Like I said, very busy! Here's one of the not so good pictures from my camera, just so I feel like I've done something on here. :)

Upcoming Excitedness!

So I have stuff I need to post like we got a new couch but I just woke up and I'm always worthless and lazy during my block of nights I work. So you get to settle about hearing that I'm sooooo excited for this coming week! My SIL Kandra and I are taking a little girls trip to SLC (with Sydney of course) to go to the So You Think You Can Dance show in SLC. I've been a devote watcher of the show for the past 3 1/2 years or so and love it! I love dancing of all kinds, even though I'm not that good but a girl can dream right?! Lance actually likes the show a lot too which is kind of ironic since he insists he can't dance (I'm trying to work on that one still) :). Since it's on a weekday Lance can't go so I decided to invite Kandra to go with me since she likes the show too. We're so excited for our little girls trip and have some fun things planned. I really wanted to go to last years touring show but didn't and I'm glad things worked out this year for us to go. For those not familiar with the show, I love it because it's people who already know how to dance but they have to compete in all different kinds of genres that they may or may not have ever done before. The dancing show on ABC, that won't be named, annoys me, don't mean to offend those who like it but it does. At the end of the season it's not too bad but the people on the show can't dance! I know that's the point of it but it just hurts me to watch them! (Again I'm no expert dancers myself but still). So if you've never watched SYTYCD and enjoying dancing I would highly recommend watching it next spring on Fox. I'm so excited!!

Great Movie

So rather than doing something productive this morning, I spent it watching one of the movies I checked out from the library. I saw it when I was picking up some things I had on hold and it looked pretty good. I'm so glad I got it! So I just wanted to put a little post on here to recommend it. It's called Though None Go with Me. I learned after the fact that it's actually based on a book by Jerry Jenkins so now I'll have to go check the book out. (I go there way to often, as in I have my 14 digit library code memorized I use it so much and I know exactly when I can turn in stuff when it's overdue without actually having the computer dock on a late fee, but that's a different story) So this movie is definitely a chick flick that I wouldn't make Lance watch just because I don't want to hear his groans during the cheesy romantic stuff that I love. It's a Hallmark movie that's kind of along the lines of the Love Comes Softly Series and The Notebook (minus all the graphic not so necessary in my opinion love scenes). So go check it out!

FHE

So Lance has been wanting me to go golfing with him for a while now. And when I say "go golfing" that means he's golfing and I'm watching. (He has a tournament this weekend that his boss is sponsoring and he decided to put Lance on the team. I think this is part of the reason he has been going so much in the past couple of months to try and improve his skills.) Anywho, my extent of golfing consists of going to the driving range and getting tired of that after about 20 mins because my hands start hurting or something and miniature golfing which I know doesn't really count. I do have to admit thought I discovered Monday night a new love in the game of golf, driving the golf cart, especially when there are sprinklers around... So the first little while I really enjoyed watching him and we had fun talking and such. By the ~13th hole I was getting a little cold and hungry which some way must also have an impact on my maturity. It was around that time I took over all of the driving of the cart. Driving between holes I started looking for a "fun" little path with little hills to bounce over or trees to go between and such. Lance got a little tired of me weaving in and out of the trees and tried to steal control of the cart back from me. On our way to one hole there was a huge sprinkler on that was going to cross our pass (well cross it if I went out of the way just a tiny bit!) So I preceded to drive over to it enough that Lance would get wet and I would not. When Lance realized what I was doing, it was a little to late except to try and steer me in as well, so I got a little wet but not nearly as wet as he did. HEHEHE! :) He then pinched my wrist in protest (sheesh! how mature?!?) and told me he didn't deserve that. (I told him his mom and sisters would all agree that he deserved it!) The truth of the matter is, I know if he was driving he would have done the same thing to me, so he was just jealous he didn't think of it first! So as you could've guessed that was the highlight of my evening, having fun picking on Lancey a little! Lance's was making it in the 40's on the back 9. The only thing I didn't like is that they make you pay even for just a rider in the golf cart. But I guess with the way I was driving maybe the idea isn't totally unfair...

Labor Day Weekend

So this past weekend we decided to go to Lagoon since it was the last day to use our reduced price tickets from Deseret Book. We also had my mom's sisters that were visiting and we can never resist a chance to hang out with all of them! We just love them all so much! So this was the first time either of us have been to Lagoon since our senior years of HS. It was kind of funny as I was packing and deciding what to wear I realized I decided on the same capris that I wore to Lagoon last time I went. Well, they're great for such occasions because they have zipper pockets! Oh and in case you're wondering my shirt was different, however it was the same color. Yellow just looks so good with blue! :) We got their right before they opened the rights so we had to wait for a bit. We first went on one of their newer rides Wicked and wicked it was!! Let just say I've checked it off and don't need to go on it again. I've never been a huge roller coaster person, in fact I was absolutely terrified of them when I was little. I sort of got over that by a little bit of force when my family went to Magic Mountain when I was younger, I think it was when Mike had just got home from his mission. We were going around to all the rides pretty fast when we first got their before the lines got bad and when we go to the front of this line only then did I think to ask what kind of ride it was. I discovered it was a roller coaster that went upside down like 6 or 8 times. Instantly panic hit and I wanted to leave however my parents wouldn't let me go back and wait for them all and my dad essentially told me it'd be fine. HA!! (And mom don't pretend you don't remember being their because you were!) So needless to say as soon as we got to the first upside down loop my eyes instantly shut and didn't open until the end of the ride. On the picture they take of you during the ride my head was fiercely tucked down to my chest with my eyes closed. My family all thought it was a pretty funny picture. yea thanks! Anyways, back to Lagoon, so Wicked was truly wicked. After we went on a couple other including Colussus which goes upside down a couple of times. I was feeling like all my blood sugar had been run through in the past few seconds. So Lance sat on the bench with me for a while and then I decided I needed to go get some food from the car and sent him on some of the other rides I knew I didn't want to go on. I do have to say I really appreciate Lance for never making fun of me and being so caring even though I was such a baby! What a great guy! So I was feeling better after getting some food in my body and resting for a bit and took the next few rides a little easier. I've come to the conclusion that the incredibly fast speed roller coasters that drop you and ones that go upside down are just not for me. Ones like Spider, for those familiar with the park I really enjoy. Now I just have to remember my limits for the future. Yea for the Ferris Wheel! Always one of my favorite rides!! Lance and his amazing miniature golf skills. Lance has been picking up golfing lately and goes a few times a month. I was proud on one of the harder miniature golf holes I made it and he didn't because he gave up. It was one that had like a volcano type thing and the hole to make it in was up at the top. It was tricky! But I made it! Go me! Go me! And this picture is a close up of the previous picture that I'm posting just because I'm such a great wife! I was noticing his "follow through" face and couldn't help myself. :) I thought it was just a family trait from my side to stick your tongue out when concentrating?! Guess not! All in all (minus the part of me feeling sick) it was a great little date day for us!
