Wicked!

I have wanted to see Wicked for a long time. I somehow missed the fact that the Broadway show was coming to Utah this month (the tickets were sold out a year ago). When I heard they were here I became quite obsessed with finding a way to go. However, the tickets were selling for waaaay out of my price range. I checked the online classified ads many times a day. Any reasonably priced tickets would sell within minutes of listing. I just about gave up. Rod told me to go ahead and just get some good tickets but I knew I wouldn't enjoy myself if they were $300-400 a piece. Friday morning my persistence finally paid off. I caught an ad that had been posted for about 9 minutes that was selling 4 really good seats for a lot of money....AND two tickets for a deal. They were technically singles as they were one row apart but in the center, on the aisle, one right in front of the other. I called right away and got them!!!

Rod dropped everything and went downtown to pick them up. He said they were a "big Mother's Day present for the best Mom in the world". Wow. What a nice man I married! Anna and I danced around all afternoon so excited to go. The show was absolutely fantastic! I love the twist on such a well known story. There was so much creativity and talent. I was in heaven...and so was Anna. We have been listening to the music ever since and singing our hearts out...much to the dismay of our poor little boys. It was a wonderful Mother/Daughter experience!

Silly Kid Stuff

January 2009 Anna stands up and starts dancing by our table in the restaurant. I tell her it isn't the place for dancing and she replies: "Mom, its always the place for dancing!"
November 2008 I instruct Tanielu to use his silverwear and not his hands while eating dinner and he casually replies: "Mom, I'm Samoan."
August 2008 Anna tells me she thinks it would be fun to have Hannah Montana as her older sister because then she would have really cool hand me downs.
Sunday July 6, 2008 Anna's teacher gave a lesson on the 10 lepers and taught the children about how only one came back to thank the Savior after they were healed. After class her teacher told me that Anna was the only one who thanked him for teaching class that day. What a special little girl!
Wednesday July 2, 2008 Owen and I had a date night together because Anna and Tani were at the cousins for a sleepover and Rod was working late. I asked him what he would like to do and he chose to get donuts and eat them in Mom's bed while we watched "go diego go go". Later we were talking and I told him how I couldn't wait to see what he would grow up to be because he is such a neat boy. He told me he would like to grow up to be a Dad. Then he said "but I might grow up then get little again because I ate so much junk!"
May 2008 Anna and Rod were having a long talk. Rod told Anna that picking me to be his wife was the most important and best decision he had ever made. Anna replied: "That's why I love you so much Dad!"
Owen age 3 (May 2008) I look outside in time to see Owen's bare buns and a golden fountain as he pees off our second story deck.
Tanielu age 4 (May 2008) while listening to the radio: "This is girl music Dad. It's not rock and roll!"
May 2008 I send Owen and Tanielu outside to play after telling them to stay out of the mud. I look out a little later and see them both playing with the hose in an enormous mud puddle. They were completely covered head to toe in mud. Their smiles were priceless! I wish I had taken a picture but I was too frustrated at the disobedience to stop and enjoy the moment. Live and learn.
