Kami's First Date

My daughter Kami's, is a Freshman in Jr. High School and went on her first date. Kami was asked to go to the Sweethearts Dance at Taylorsville High School. The Dance was on Valentines Day, February 14, 2009.

The day started with Me, Kami and her friend going to pick up Kami's Corsage and Boutonniere from the Flower Patch.

Brady's Boutonniere; Cymbidium Orchid

Fire and Ice; Kami's Corsage

After we picked up the flowers the girls and I stopped for lunch then went back to Kami's Dads house were Kami began to get ready for the big night. Kami had three girls working on her by doing her hair and nails.
Here is Kami getting her hair curled. Kami's house was full of Family and Friends all excited to pamper her.
As, the afternoon quickly slipped by and tensions rose, Holly, Kami's aunt, kept everyone laughing with her great sence of humor.


Here is Kami's dad just waking up, Cody was on duty the night before and had to work the grave yard shift.

Kami is finally done with her hair and nails. Kami's put her dress on so we could add the final touches to hair.

Brady has just arrived and Kami is making her "Grand Entrance"

Brady was so cute when he saw Kami, he got that look when a Husband sees his wife walk down the isle. It made the crazy afternoon all worth it. They looked so good.

Upon Brady's arrival he gave Kami this rose and cute teddy bear, what a gentleman. I don't remember getting roses on my first dance!!!

Brady just place her Corsage on her wrist.

Ah, How Cute!!!

This is Kami's friend and neighbor Parker. He is also going to the Dance with another friend of Kami's.

Parker and Hailey.

Ah, the proud parents! Me, Kami and Cody.

Kami and her Dad.

Kami and her Mom.

The Group!!!

And they are off for a fun filled night.

Once Kami, Hailey and their dates left, they went to Applebee's for Dinner, Taylorsville High School to Dance (of course). They then met up with another couple, Robert and Anne. As always at high school dances they got their pictures taken. Around 10:00 PM Kami came back home changed her cloths, said good bye again to Cody and me, and went to Anne's Grandma's House were they watched movies and played rock band. When Kami got home that night she told Me, her dad and Holly "That was the most amazing night!!!!"

HUM?

After Valentines 2009, Cody and I were hit with the OMG our child just went on her first date stick. Kami is absolutely beautiful and I am sure Cody and I are in a world of trouble. I told Cody the next time she goes on a date or to a dance, he is GOING to get in his police uniform.

CONGRATULATIONS KAMI!!!!!!

Cars, Valentines Day, Cell Phones and the 900 Billion Dollar Bailout/Economy

UTAH VS BYU AKA "THE HOLLY WAR"

I think Utah is going to beat BYU by more points than a lot of people expect (UT is only favored by 7). Something like 35-21 for the U!

The BYU offense is averaging 447 yards per game. However, the U defense is giving up 284 yards per game (advantage = The U)

BYU ranks #17 nationally in total offense. Utah is ranked #11 in total defense. The U is also only giving up an average of 17 points a game this season. The team down South has given up an average of 28 points per game in road games this season.

Check this out...the Utes offense is averaging 403 yards per game. BYU's defense is giving up 345 yards per game (advantage = The U)

Oregon State thought they could come into SLC and get a road win. That didn't happen. TCU came into SLC and they, too, thought they'd come into SLC and get a road win. That also didn't happen. Now the team down South wants to try and spoil the U going to a BCS game. The Team Down South is going home disappointed.

Back to the Lost Wages Bowl for ya Cougars.

Do YOU know?

There are so many people that just don’t understand things. Some may not understand an interest rate or who regulates the interest rates, or trigonometry, or how to read a map, or how to operate a crane, or how a body of water can supply electricity to several metropolitan cities throughout the United States.

What I don’t understand, is why people judge you and why they hold a grudge against you for no apparent reason. Why after a year, several years or even a decade later they still carry the same thoughts and will never open their minds or their eyes to notice the many many positive changes or the growth one goes through throughout their lives. I also don't understand how these types of issue can make one feel so sick inside to the point to where they become nauses and have upper stomach pain.

I am a smart person and catch onto things pretty quickly, however, I don’t think I will ever understand how people can be so blind towards certain things or people.

Any Given Sunday

For anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I am the biggest Female NFL fan they have ever met. I am a True Blue Dallas Cowboys fan!! Six months out of a year, I live and breath football.

Football fans either love or hate the Cowboys, there is no in between. When the city of Dallas, received a NFL expansion franchise in 1960, the team was announced as the “Steers” a few weeks later the team was renamed to the “Rangers”, however, Dallas already had a Baseball team named “Rangers”. That Baseball Team was not expected to continue as a Major League team, however, when the MLB and the City of Dallas decided to keep the “Rangers” the football owners had to come up with another name for their NFL Football Franchise and then came the “Cowboys”. Now, you have the Dallas Cowboys. Their first season recorded was 0-11-1. For some reason that does not surprise me!! During that inaugural season the only time the team could celebrate came on the week that they tied. HUM…..who did they tie with……..THE NY GIANTS!! The tie came within the 2nd to last game for their season.

As, I watch the Cowboys today and see the way there playing leads me to believe that they missed their plane in Dallas and never made it to New York………YES 48 years later the Cowboys still play the New York Giants, who are now in our division and are one of the known rivals in the NFL. At the time of this blog, the score is 28-7 for New York. I can almost guarantee you the NY score will go up from there. The cowboys have some serious problems this year and chances are WILL NOT make it to the playoffs.

Throughout the last 48 years, The Dallas Cowboys have a lot to be proud of. Their first Super Bowl appearance was in Super Bowl 5, the Cowboys lost that game. However, their first win in a Super Bowl came the following year in Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys have 5 Super Bowl wins. Their last win was Super Bowl XXX, January 28, 1996. The Cowboys have 8 appearances in the Super Bowl, which at this time is the NFL Record. The Cowboys became the first team in NFL history to win 3 Super Bowls in just 4 years (that has been matched only once since, by the New England Patriots. Anyway, the Cowboys are America’s team and the best team in the NFL. They not be numerically the best team in the NFL during the 2008 season, but the cowboys are the most winning team in the NFL and the most expensive team in the NFL.

So for any of my friends that are NOT a Cowboys fan, try to out do any of the Cowboys records………..sorry you just can’t do it!!

Stay tuned there will be more about the BOYS that’s for sure!!

Go Cowboys!!

Trick-or-Treating, Parties, Tons of Candy and Tons of Frosty Cold Beverages!!

Everyone likes Halloween for one reason or another. Kids, like Halloween because they get to dress up and go out Trick-or Treating and have lots of candy that is all theirs. Adults like Halloween because they too like to dress up and go to house parties, go to local Bars/Night Clubs, spend time with their families and pass out Halloween candy while their children go out Trick-or-Treating. Of course all kids and Adults love to decorate their homes and their yards for Halloween and some go all out for this Holiday.

By the time Halloween is over everyone will experience to much fun either by having ate so much candy that they have crashed from their sugar high or drinking to much and having to deal with a hang over the following morning.

I’m surprised that I had enough candy for the Trick-or-Treaters, because I was ate too much of their candy, then I found myself up late because of the sugar rush and had a hard time waking up in the morning in order to make it to work on time.

What part of Halloween do you like?
