So this past weekend was so much fun I have to tell about it.

So Saturday night we went to th Motab Christmas Concert at the Conference Center - its always amazing. I love going to that every year. This year was exspecially special because we got to see Edward Hermann!! Yeah so cool. So then Friday I went to my soccor game (we lost 2-0) but we had so much fun, and I got this wicked bruise on my ankle - its cool!! Then that night my sister J'net and I went back down town to meet Edward Hermann in person!!!!! YEAH!! He is so cute. I loved him on Gilmore Girls so we had to go meet him. Jnet bought a CD that he is in and then he signed it - so we got to chat with him for a few minutes. Yeah!! We were 4th in line baby!! They told us we couldn't take pictures with him so after he signed the CD we stepped aside and took pictures with him in the background - same idea. Jnet has those pictures I'll post them they are funny.

Then ...... does your town do this?

Yeah Eagle Mountain has Santa Clause ride around on the Fire truck and throw candy to all the kids. Its so funny to see the kids run around trying to see him. I was standing on the porch and this girl came running past my house, noticed me and stopped and said Santa is coming on the fire truck, they did this last year, he throws out candy; its kind of fun." Then took off screaming SANTA!! I just laughed, kids are so funny. Router on the other hand HATED it, I think it was more the noise that scared him but he wanted nothing to do with any of it. I laughed and we waved as Santa drove by.
Then Saturday day/night Jnet and I went shopping at the Gateway ALL DAY!! We had the best time ever, and we both got all of our Christmas shopping done. It feels really great!! Ohh it was so much fun, walking in the cold, all bundled up, carrying our bags through Gateway. FUN!!
So yes I had a great weekend - Kelly ohh he worked I saw him for like 10 min on Sunday before I went to bed. Once the holidays are over maybe he wont works so much (ha) Luv ya

Router loves trees

Everyone's kids are obsessed with the Christmas tree - well mine isn't any different. Router is obssesed with this one ornament on our tree, it really isn't even an ornament, its a stocking that Kelly had since he was a wee lad - but everytime Router sees it in the tree he has to get it. I think its so hilarious - so here is what I caught him doing. (okay I egg him on a little because it's so funny)

See just a stocking, but he can't get enough

Ohh man it's so funny!! I guess its better that he plays in the tree then pee on the tree like he did last year. Can't complain, laughing is a great medicine.

Twilight

Saw the movie today - lets just say I hope that Bella gets some acting lessons before the next movie. And I almost died laghing when the part came that Edward showed his skin - ohh man that was pathetic. It was an OK movie - not my favorite I really think they could have done better on it. And the casting could have been better. Again lets hope acting classes are taken before the next movie. Glad I only paid 5.50 for it. Ohh and there was WAY To much music in this movie. Everytime there wasn't talking (alot) I felt like I was in a elevator - it was music overload! Thoughts?

LA (long post)

Yeah so we have been home for a week and I still haven't blogged about our trip to LA - sue me!!

Well we went to LA last weekend it was our 5 year annivesary so I thought we should do something fun - and I wanted to see Wicked so bad so that's the real reason we went to LA, everything else was just fluff.
Yep we went to see Wicked - TWICE that is how our trip to LA started. We flew in Wednesday night (the 19th) got to our hotel, it was pretty late by the time we got there - about 11 so we just hung out and crashed. Thursday Morning, slept in, and went straight to the Pantages - I was so excited!

once we got there we had to see it - but we had a few hours to spare till the Lottery. So we headed over to the Grove. It's a huge shopping center outdoors. So we hopped on the bus and headed over there. We just walked around.

Gotta love American Girl, have always wanted to go to one, always wanted a Samantha doll I was sad to hear that they were discontinuing here :( Then there was the CBS studios - WOOT. at the Grove they had this huge farmers market with endless supply of any kind of food you wanted to eat. So Kelly had to try some -YUM!
So while shoppping at the Grove look who also shops there: YAH I saw a celabrity!! I LOVE LOVE Gilmore Girls so this was a huge treat that I ran into (okay stalked) Liza Wells aka Paris.

FUN DAY!!!
Saturday (our anniversary)
Honestly it started out as a very crapy day. We really didn't know what we wanted to do, we were both so indecisive that we couldn't make our minds up. And we spent most of the day doing nothing but arguing. It was very frustrating. So we decided to go get something to eat then run over to do the Wicked lottery once more and if we don't win then go see Wicked anyway. Before we ate we stopped at the Chinese theater where all the handprints in the cement are - pretty neat. Saw Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, the cast of Harry Potter, Marilyn Monroe - see for yourself:

Then we headed back to the Pantages to get in the lottery. So for those of you who don't know the you put your name in a drawing for front row tickets for $25, you go 2.5 hours before the show starts, then 2 hours before the show starts they pick 13 names and they give you this cool button and then you can buy front row tickets. Well...

YEP IT WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!! WE got front row seats. And let me tell you it was AMAZING. I mean the play itself is amazing but front row was more spectacular. We could see their spit, the sweat, the microphones taped to their head. I was so happy I was in tears!!! I love this musical more than anything!! I don't want to spoil it for anyone but Defying Gravity was my ALL time favorite song! Simply Amazing!! It was a great anniversary present - glad I won! We jumped for joy!

Then we got to meet the cast after the show - SO FUN!!

Sunday we were pretty exhausted so we took a trip to Beverly Hills

We had to go get Sprinkles cupcakes - YUM. But check out the street lamps on Rodeo drive!! SERIOUSLY!! We had so much fun - what a great trip!
