Did I mention that I DON"T sew?!

I don't sew - never had the patience for it and never enjoyed it when I tried to have the patience for it. I have sewn when I have had to do it but it's not often and I'm definitely not good at it. So what's a mom to do when her 5th grader is excited about the end of the year 50's dance? My first thought was to call Aunt Judy (an amazing seamstress to say the least). But then I psyched myself up and decided that I could do it. I was so proud to have made a really cute poodle skirt for Sara AND one for her American Girl doll as well! It made me the greatest mother on the planet, at least for a moment!

I really stink at blogging!

I know it's been "a while" since I've blogged (understatement of the century) but what can I say, I'm just not very good at this! I'm trying to follow my sweet sister-in-law's example and be better! There is no way I can update the last four months so I'll just start from the last week.

Brandon and the Bonneville High School Ballroom Team went to California on tour last week and Kent went as a chaperone. As an added bonus, Ashley and I caught up with them a few days into their trip and got to go to Disneyland with them. They were short a girl dancer so Ashley took her dance shoes with and learned a couple of routines in the hotel parking lot Sunday night and danced them in Disneyland on Monday and at California Adventure on Tuesday. It was fun to see Ashley and Brandon dance together again. We had a ball at Disneyland (the kids just about ran be to death) and the weather was beautiful. We came home Thursday to overcast and cold!
