Daddy Daughter Dance

For the last two years Makena has wanted to attend the daddy daughter dance, but by chance Blaine was not able to take her. This year she finally got to lace up her dancing shoes, dress like a princess and race to the ball for a night of fun. YMCA, the chicken dance and a little Mama Mia, she got to do it all. They had a great time even tough her date was about 3 feet taller than her!!! Now she knows how I feel sometimes.

Before the dance I was able to catch a few pictures quickly while Hayden kept running in and out of the picture. Here is one I caught with just the dancers.
Makena did have to shoot a few hoops before the dance. This girl never stops moving!!!

25 Random Things About Me

This is a repeat from my Facebook page but for those that are not into my new addiction I thought I might share it here as well.

1. I am a VERY indecisive person. Dinner menus, paint colors, what to wear, even where to send my kid to preschool. It all scares me that I might make the wrong decision.

2. I am a horrible speller (as some of you may have figured out by now).

3. I always replay conversations in my head. I should have said this or that, or did they take that the wrong way, what does that person think about me?? Goes with #1.

4. I LOVE painting. I painted my master bedroom in my last house 4 times in 3 years. I just finished helping a friend paint at her house this morning. Its like coloring for adults and relaxing to me.

5. I cannot watch any kind of medical shows. I think that I have everything the people on the shows have. Now I always worry my kids might be sick. No Greys or ER for me EVER!!

6. I am also addicted to bedding. For my sixteenth B-day I used all of my money for a new bedding set from Sears. Now I change my bedding every year. Again #1. I especially love Pottery Barn Bedding. My closets are full. Its a nasty little habit.

7. My favorite subject in high school was Geometry. I could do proofs all day long!!

8. I married my High School sweetheart and never dated anyone else after the age of 15. Knowing about my indecisiveness he wonders how I have kept him around for so long but he is my stable rock!

9. My sister owned a coffee stand for 6 years and I never got a cup of coffee from her EVER. Now I can't go a day without it. Its my ME time!

10. I always have the same dream. My teeth all fall out at the same time?????

11. My favorite color is green although I haven't used it much in my house and I don't wear it much.

12. I LOVE being a soccer mom. I can watch my kids do things all day long.

13. I LOVE a late summer thunder storm. A coffee and a big blanket and I can sit on my back deck and watch them come in all day long.

14. When I was a kid I wore huge glasses. Thank goodness for contacts and Lasik.

15. I live in black yoga pants. No high heels and cute jeans for me in the valet at the school.

16. I watch HGTV all day long.

17. I rearrange furniture all the time. Probably has something to do with #1 and #16

18. I can't go a week without going to Costco. I am afraid I might miss out on something good.

19. I just got my first tattoo in November. A plumeria for each of my kids and two rings for my 10 year anniversary.

20. In July Blaine bought me a road bicycle. I LOVE it!! So just signed up for my first sprint triathlon. I am not a great swimmer and I HATE cold water. I hope that I don't drown so that I can ride my bike.

21. I value ALL of my friendships and family. Probably more than any of them will ever know. I am not very good at telling people that kind of stuff.

22. I get car sick all the time. As a kid I always got car sick and as an adult I still cannot ride in the back seat or read in the car.

23. I would love to learn how to quilt. Probably because of by bedding fetish.

24. In high school Blaine and I had matching Geo Storm cars. His was red and mine was white. Good thing we went to different high schools. It wasn't planned out but it just worked out that way

25. Did I mention I am very indecisive??? Maybe I should redo my list????.
