"Poor Mr. T" or "Lucky Mr. T" Depending on Your Perspective


All of these little cuties are Ari's Brownie troop in our neighborhood. I helped chaperone their group to "Hannah Montana 3D Movie". Having already been there and done that in person last fall - I tried to enjoy listening to Lelu & the little girls all sing along. That was very cute. Ari has 12 girls and Mr. T has 2 boys to play with. Good thing she's the social one.

AND THE SNOW JUST KEEPS FALLING!




This is not news to you Utahans, but to you CAs & AZns...................
Appreciate not having to shovel or drive in this stuff! The kids aren't complaining too loudly - they spent Sunday afternoon with the neighbors building this cool igloo because Church was cancelled. That's definitely never happened in 14 years either. Big B & I went off to an 'adults only Super Bowl party' without guilt of leaving church early. I had no idea who was even in the Super Bowl until that day - but I chose my team to root for based on tabloid gossip. I read that Tom Brady was a big cheater and left his girlfriend of 5 years, 7 months pregnant, for a supermodel - So I didn't think he deserved to win! I was happy for Eli Manning too, not having to walk in his brother's shadow. Plus the last quarter was really fun to watch. More SNOW COMING TODAY! Ahhhhhhhhh SPRING WILL BE BLISS THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!

D gets a little taste of 'Broadway' Playing Otto Frank for 4 days



D's theatre teacher is VERY DRAMATIC and wrote a play 10 years ago using "The Diary of Anne Frank & the book "Night". Every other year the school allows her to put on "Voices of the Holocaust", and they require all students to see it. So there were two casts - D was a Prisoner #4 in the 2nd cast & Otto Frank in the 1st cast. The kids put this on 4 times a day for 4 days. And as you can imagine - it is a very heavy subject matter. He was very happy to get it over with and start working on the end of the year play, which is student's choice. Of course, my critique is that he did an awesome job, esp. considering he was playing a mature level-headed man - and what's exciting to me is I know he's got it in him, even if it is just a character! I didn't see the play with him as Prisoner #4 - but I'll bet he did that one great too. He finished out the week with Friday & Saturday night all night filming for "Lair Lords" (the BYU film). Big B picked him up at 4 am both nights. I am so grateful he's a morning person! Needless to say, D spent Super Bowl sunday sleeping. He is loving every minute of it which makes all the driving worth it to me.
