Cinderella-May 2011

I was in LifeLight's production of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.  It was so much fun. Here are just a few pictures from the show.

Spring Break: Destination Utah

The main reason for this trip was to spend time visiting Andrew and hear him perform with his university choir--BYU Mens' Chorus.  It was just mom and me this time.  We had a great time.  One day we drove up from Provo to Salt Lake City to visit LDS Business College, walk around Temple Square, and enjoy lunch with Marie Murphy at the Lion House Pantry.  From there we went to Rexburg, Idaho, to look at BYU-Idaho.

Salt Lake City Temple--Funny thing about walking around temple square with jeans on is that all the missionaries are all interested in talking to you.

The Conference Center was all ready for the General Young Women Meeting.

We love Marie!!

Provo happenings: We had a great time in Provo with Andrew.  Tuesday night when we got there we met up with Andrew, Jack and Marie Murphy.  They took us to Bombay House an Indian place near Andrew's apartment.   Thursday we watched the BYU game vs. Florida with some of Andrews friends in the dollar theater there on campus.  The energy was incredible! Unfortunately, we did not win, but it was so much fun to watch! After the game we went to see a BYU production of Persuasion which Andrew's friend was in.

Friday I went with Andrew to some of his classes including Political Science and Contemporary dance.  I also took a tour of BYU.  Friday night we went to the famous J-Dawgs before Andrew's performance.  It was an amazing performance.  I'm so glad we were able to be there for it.  They gave the same performance as a matinee again on Saturday which we went to as well.  It was great!  Saturday morning Andrew took us to Kneader's Bakery.  Everyday they have all you can eat french toast.  It was soo good! You really couldn't eat all that much because it was so thick.  By far my favorite meal of the trip. :)   After the last concert Saturday we went to dinner with Andrew's friends, Ryan and Madison.  After that we went back to his apartment and hung out with him and some of his friends.  He introduced us to Drop Dead Diva (a new favorite show), played Dutch Blitz, and just had fun being there. Can't wait to head back again!

Moolah Shrine Circus

The circus came to town during spring break.  Mom and I took Ben, Grace, and Ally to the Moolah Shrine Circus.  The minute we walked in we noticed they were giving rides on elephants.  How cool is that?  So we decided we were going to ride an elephant.   The kids weren't quite as excited as mom and I were.  But everyone enjoyed it after the fact.  They had some really neat acts.  My favorite would have to be the 3x3 box that two girls both fit into.  I was speechless.  I can't imagine bending like that.

 Waiting to get onto the elephant!

 A little blurry but proof that we rode the elephant! :)
