New Little Niece

Last night I was able to go to the University Hospital in SLC and see darling little Emmalyn. She is beautiful! Heather and Matt were so happy and they seem to glow. I'm so happy for them! They will be great parents.
Babies are such a blessing! I'm such a lucky Auntie!
We finally met! I was explaining to her how much fun we were going to have, I detected a smile.
Isn't she so beautiful?!
She was showing off her lung power here. Very impressive!
They were teaching me how to wrap her in the blanky.

The cute new family!

Halloween Weekend


I went home for the Palmer family Halloween party. I played the lame-o card and wore my 9th grade cheerleading outfit...I had to rush from work so creativity wasn't an option.

Stacey and Dave annouced that they are expecting a baby! We're so excited! Seeing how Heather hasn't had her baby yet (yes, she was due last week...she's miserable)all sisters and one sis in law are expecting. That will make 16 grandchildren!


My favorite part of Halloween is this! I have the sweetest nieces and nephews!

Happy Halloween!


This was my costume for a Halloween party that I went to yesterday. I felt like I was just getting ready to perform for drill team again! Lots of makeup!

Heather's Baby Shower

We're getting so excited for Heather and Matt's baby to arrive! Oh how I love my nieces and nephews, it will be fun to have another one! Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Here she is, my cutie prego sister! She is so ready to have her baby! We're so excited!


We vetoed the typical shower games and did crafts for the baby instead. I'm a fan.

LOVE this picture of my cute Dad!

Did ya know that I...

1.) LOVE to be with my family more than anyone else.
2.) was so OBSESSED with Phantom of the Opera when I was 10 years old that I would stay in my room and sing along with the tapes all day long! I'm still obsessed...
3.) ADORE Audrey Hepburn. My fashion icon!
4.) SHADOWED a nurse (2nd declared major) and passed out in the phlebotomy lab... I decided it wasn't for me. I pass out whenever I get shots, I don't know what it is. I'm not scared! I have to get shots lying down now, such an embarrassing request.
5.) had super thick glasses from age 3-12, but my eyes miraculously corrected themselves.
6.) frequently spend Sunday evenings at home SINGING Broadway, while mom plays her beautiful baby grand. Oh how I love to sing!
7.) DREAM in Russian when I dream about my mission. I wish that it was all of the time, I even try to think in Russian while trying to fall asleep... doesn't work.
8.) love to WATCH old musicals...so romantic compared to the trash today. True romance is parading in the streets and singing about it! Yes, when I finally fall in love I'm going to do that.
9.) DANCED for SUU's drill team. I love to dance! I haven't danced very much since before I served a mission....that needs to change. I'm working on it.
10.) PLAYED Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. My parents thought that I was going to be some weirdo theater gal, BUT I ended up being a drill teamer. I wish that I would have done more theater though. I guess it is never too late, yes?
11.) was in a COMMERCIAL for my Dad's company when I was 4 years old (I couldn't stop looking at the camera :)).
12.) love to JAM on my guitar and sing at the top of my lungs (when the roomies are out). I love love love music! Guitar playing is very therapeutic, you should give it a try.
13.) love JAZZ music more than any other type, and often wish I was born in the 40's.
14.) am going to start training to RUN a marathon (you inspired me Shannon). I'm excited about it! When I get a goal I get obsessed about it. I'll report about this later.
15.) have no CLUE what I am doing with my life half the time.
16.) WRITE a list of goals at least once a week. I try not to overwhelm myself...but it always happens.
17.) got to take DANCE lessons on Broadway in NYC. So fun!
18.) DISLIKE chit- chatting on the phone. I guess I'd rather see you in person. ;)
19.) am going to start the SEMINARY teaching courses. It is very competitive but that's never stopped me before. ;)
20.) love to be in the OUTDOORS!

Well, now you know.
