Christmas Dance

The Bountiful Christmas (or I guess we have to call it Winter now) Dance was held this last Saturday at the University of Utah Ballroom. As this was girl's choice, I was asked by a beautiful girl named Jesse Noakes. I was initially tempted to decline, as he had some reservations to being in the midst of such depravity at the dance (get it? it was at the U.) I decided though to say yes.


She asked him by putting a poster on our door with the mastercard bit about "a date with your friend to the Christmas Dance.. priceless." And put a large pile of candy on the door. We attempted to open the candy hurriedly, until my mother noticed with such alarm, letters written on the sides of the candy. Thus, as a witty answer, I froze a paper inside a large block of ice, set it on her door tied with a bow, and put a paper saying "My answer is Priceless" with the Pr crossed out, saying "my answer is iceless." I know, don't laugh too hard.

The dance began with my mother taking pictures, much to the little ones delight. Girum mauled Jesse, and Audrey, well you can imagine. Overall though, the pictures at home went well, and both my date's corsage and my boutonnière were excellently hand-crafted.

We left eventually to dinner of gourmet pizza, driving through a massive blizard. The dinner was served, and might I say it was delicious. My date was wearing a magnificent pink and black dress. I thus matched the color scheme with a pink shirt and black tie. I was quite pleased as well as two of my best friends were in my group, Spencer Schmidt (son of piano legend Jon Schmidt haha) and Colby Jones (son of legendary pharmaceutical rep. Tim Jones.) Spencer is in white, and Colby is the short blonde.




The dance was quite fun, being held at the SNOT (School North Of Town) ballroom. The DJ was great, and the pictures went off flawlessly. The dance concluded with us going and watching the Dark Knight at my friend Kim Tran's house. A very good evening concluded with one of the best, if not the best, movie in Hollywood's glamorous career of fine cinematography.

Halloween Dance

Wyatt was asked to the girl's choice Halloween dance at his school. Below is the invitation given to him by his unknown date.

In case you can not read it, it says "Don't leave me out to hang in the cold and windy rain. Bring me inside and wash me all clean to see who has asked you to Halloween!"
It turned out to be Wyatt's friend Ali Lloyd.
Arn't they cute together the went as Cowboys and Indians. They went with the drill team, of which Ali is a member. The drill team was also cowboys and indians. They had a marvelous time, despite the awkwardness made by the fact that Ali's boyfriend (whom she got shortly asking Wyatt to the dance, as friends mind you) was in their group. It was fine though, as Wyatt is friends with her bf.

Audrey

It has been a while sense we posted last. Truth of the matter we just do not have anything exciting happening in our life lately it has all been consumed by Wyatt's football Jill's surgery and Marissa's swimming but so you do not think we went inactive from blogging i decided to post something that is kinda funny. Audrey we guess wanted to Peirce her nose. So she got a iring and stuck it up their. Well it would not come out no matter how hard we tried the erring would not come out. It stayed their for Four days and then Grandpa doctor kit came down and and pulled that thing right out. I know it is sorta a lame post but it is something......right?
