So You Think You Can Dance?

OK people....my new favorite show came on last night! I started watching it last year, and was hooked. My favorite dancer, Benji, won too. Right now, they are going through the auditions, which for me is the lame part. I want to get to the good dancers. Kind of like with American Idol...I don't care if I watch the auditions, I just want to get to the good stuff. Anyway, I watched it with Mackenzee last night and she actually SAT STILL. It was amazing. She loved it! We may have the beginning of a little dancer on our hands. She does love to shake her booty! ;0)

Children See, Children Do

Received this commercial in an email today from my sister and was left awed by the honesty it portrayed. Kids are SO influenced by their surroundings and especially by the people who are most important to them. What we do and say help mold and shape our childrens' lives. What are we turning them into? I would hope that my words and actions are such that my children will be more like those at the END of the commercial. Kind of puts things into perspective doesn't it?

American Idol

Yay! Congrats to Jordin Sparks on winning this season's American Idol. She wasn't my favorite overall, but out of the two that were left in the end, I was pleased she got top marks. She has a beautiful voice! With the way that things end up nowadays though, half of the contestants will end up with a record, so the show has kind of lost it's appeal for me. Take a look at last years contestants. It's insane. Not that a lot of this years contestants don't deserve a record deal, because honestly, there were SO many good performers. But hopefully, at least Sanjaya doesn't get one. Ugh!

Anniversary

So, it's been a whole entire three years for Jaysen and I. Wow! Actually, it feels like we've been together a lot longer than that. He's a great guy and I'm really lucky. We went away this last weekend to Boise and stayed at the Anniversary Inn in the Romeo and Juliet Suite. It was beautiful! And the best part about it, was that there were no kids. ;0) My mom was a dear and took both kids for the night on Friday. It was Mackenzee's first night spent away from home and I was really nervous about it. Apparently for no reason though. She didn't even miss us. Not a single tear even at bedtime. And when we got there to pick her up, she didn't really seem too excited to see us. She was playing with Papa. Far more important. Oh well. I did get to go to the scrapbook store while I was up in Boise. And got a new pair of really cute shoes! Some strappy sandals. Love them. Jaysen is a good man! Scrapbook stuff, shoes, and a night with no kids! What a great anniversary present. Don't you think?

Happy Mothers Day!

Mothers Day was good this year. We spent the weekend at my mom's house, with the exception of going out to dinner with Jaysen's family on Saturday night. On Saturday I went to lunch at the Garden Cafe with my mom and sisters and neice, Shelby. No kids! No husbands! it was nice.

Then that night we went to Maxies for pizza with Jaysens family. Jaysen's mom, Rita, decided she didn't want to have to cook on Mothers Day so we did this instead to celebrate. And, honestly, I can't say that I blame her one bit. Mother's Day is about us ladies, but when we are the ones that do the cooking and the clean up, it's not quite fair. ;0) So, it was good.

Sunday we spent being lazy out at my mom's house as my sister, Melanie, and her kids were visiting from Archer. The kids had fun playing together outside. Mackenzee has now mastered the art of the "slide" on the swingset my mom has in her backyard. She's quite tickled with herself about it as well.

Anyway....Happy Mothers Day to all! I hope you were all spoiled by your husbands and kids with love and attention.

PTA

Landon's elementary celebrated it's 50th year with a carnival last Friday. It turned out great. This last school year I volunteered to be the photographer/historian for the PTA and so I made a couple of DVD's that were played in the gym for it. One was a slideshow of class photos, some of which went clear back to the mid 60s. The other had all the pictures that I collected this past year (not nearly enough). I was able to figure out how to add music to the slideshow movie and played a sappy "remember me" song with it. So, any of you needing a DVD made....bring it on. ;0)

Anyway, after all of the chaos was said and done from the carnival, the current PTA President came up to my car after school on Tuesday and said that I had been nominated to be on the PTA board and if I would accept the nomination. I figured they wanted me to be the historian again, so I said sure. She then told me that someone had nominated me to be the treasurer. Hah! I was a bit taken back as I figured nobody even knew who I was. I didn't really do a bang up job this last year. Seriously. But apparently someone thought I should be in charge of the PTA's money. I laughed it off figuring someone else who had been around a little longer than me would get it. Little did I know, someone heard that I was a bookkeeper. So, yeah. I am now the official PTA Treasurer for the 2007-2008 school year. HAH! It's insane. Oh well. It's going to be a busy school year.

How well do you know me?
