A little of this and that, and something quite exciting

I have had a few people quite concerned because I haven’t blogged in a few days, which is just not like me!!! LOL. There are a few reasons. First off and foremost, our computer has been broken. I will not bore you with details, but let’s just say it has been a sore subject around our house, especially since I have an IT/computer genius for a husband. It is fixed now, so that is all that matters. Along with that, I have been super busy and out of town, so I will play catch up with our very eventful past few days.

First off, I gave the boys their “summer cuts.” Gavin was really proud of his new hair. He said he was so excited to show his Grandmas his “cute new hair.” Kayler was sooo funny about it. People would ask him where his hair was, he would reach up and touch his head and then say, “I no know!” Needless to say, they are not as cute as they are with hair, but I was very tired of washing and combing their very long hair, and besides it is getting hot here. Their Grandma’s were not too pleased with me for doing it, but oh well.

Moving on-G.J. and I had to go to Salt Lake Friday. Our nephew was graduating from Murray High School. Along with that I had 2 Modbe Parties to do. G.J. came home after the graduation to take care of the kids, and I stayed the night. I did one party for my brother in Salt Lake, and one in Saratoga Springs for my cousin. They turned out nice, but I am SOOO glad to be home and SOOO glad to see my kids, I really missed them.

Hallie had a birthday party today, and it was so cute. It was her friend Hunter and her mom is a beautician. She did their hair in super cute up-do’s, had their nails done, and then they did all sorts of things. She was there for like 4-5 hours. She was in heaven and couldn’t stop talking about all the things she did. I was still out of town when she came back, but G.J. had taken a picture of her, isn’t she cute!?

Anyways, moving on to some quite exciting news. As we were at the graduation on Friday, something pretty funny/interesting happened. I was sitting there, and I looked across the gym and saw a kid who looked VERY much like David Archuleta. Pretty soon people were buzzing all around us, and we got out the camera, zoomed in, and it was DEFINETLY him. He is just as cute in person as he was on T.V. I checked the program, and he was there because his sister was graduating, Claudia Archuleta. (I confirmed this with the lady sitting next to me who knew them I guess) He had 2 policemen by him, and it was a good thing, because he became quite the spectacle very quickly. The graduation took second stage as people began taking pictures and texting and videoing-which I will admit I did a little bit of each…lol. I kind of felt sorry for the poor kid. He was just there to watch his sister. He was just a normal person before the whole American Idol thing. I guess that is what happens when you become famous. I really like his voice, he is very talented, but I guess I never expected myself to get giddy when I seen him in person-lol. I feel a little lame about that. G.J. had gone down to the graduation floor to get some good pictures of our nephew as he got his diploma. My niece was BEGGING me to go over and get our picture with David. I refused, because I am a mean aunt, and I am shy when it comes to stuff like that. I told her to ask her uncle G.J., kind of jokingly. Well, imagine our surprise when he came back and said, “Guess who I just got my picture with?” Our niece was so sad, and I was quite shocked, because G.J. is a lot shyer than me. He said he got brave and figured this was a once in a lifetime chance, so he just did it. He said that he was super nice just letting people snap their pictures left and right. So here is the picture, our one claim to fame. G.J. was really sad because he was talking while the picture was being taken, oh well. I hope he has a great music career, and doesn’t let the fame get to his head too quickly.

So, it has been a whirlwind of a week, yet again. I am looking forward to things slowing down a little and enjoying a lazy fun summer. Have a great day!

p.s. I have cute pictures from a fun park day with Mandy and Janice and from Hallie’s Dance recital, which we also did last week, but I will post those later.
