Em and Syd's big night of dance!

Here are some great pics of both my beautiful girls at their dance recital. They both did a fabulous job!



Syd and Emmie's Christmas Dance Recital

The girls' dance recital was on December 12 this year. They didn't do the "Nutcracker" like they did last year, instead they had individual numbers. Emoree did great in her ballet number, but flat out walked off the stage in protest during the first 8 counts of her tap number. She told me "she didn't like that dance and was sick of it". She literally just walked right off the stage with her arms folded across her chest and a frown on her face.
Syd did both of her dances and they were wonderful. For her tap number they used big over sized candy canes as props. She was so cute and did a fabulous job. She has such awesome stage presence!!! I just love to watch them both.



Community Christmas Music Extravaganza!

The Mecham's threw their annual musical Christmas extravaganza again this year. It is always a highlight of our season. There was plenty of music, friends and fun. The kids were in a dance number and a bell ringing number. I sang a duet with Kevin Love (he's a great little singer and a member of Mountain View HS Jazz Choir). We sang "Baby It's Cold". Jeff was the MC of the evening and did a great job.

AJ's Class Christmas Party!

AJ's class is so fun! We had a great time with all the kids. We made cards for all the sick kids at the St. Lukes pediatric cancer center. We also ate like pigs! Yay.

Disney World Pics

Here we are having a great time in WDW.

Super Soap Weekend 2008

I know it sounds crazy.........BUT.......I had the best time at Super Soap. It was going on the same weekend we were at WDW. I met so many great ladies who plan their whole vacation around this weekend. I also met some real crazies who are soap star stalkers!!! Seriously! I got asked to go to a bar/after party and stalk some male soap stars at their hotel! Crazy.....no, I didn't go. I met some nice people....including Susan Lucci! It was a blast.


More Super Soap Weekend!

Disney World Fun






We always have a wonderful time at Disney World. We went in November this year and all the Christmas Decorations were up in all the parks, it was beautiful. We all had a great time and enjoyed every minute. Of course, we ate way too much and spent way to much and played way too much...but then isn't that the definition of vacation?

Captain Hiram's!


We went to Captain Hiram's Inn for dinner. This place is an insitution in Sebastian, FL. It sits dock side and the food is amazing! We all had Gator Tail for an appetizer. I thought it was greasy but Jeff and AJ ate all of it!

Beautiful Vero Beach Florida!

After an exhausting week of running from Disney Park to Disney Park, we retreated to Vero Beach Florida for a few days of being lazy by the beach. It was pretty chilly by Florida standards but with our Idaho Blood....we headed for the beach anyway! The kids had a blast, so did Jeffie.

Emzie and Gigi

Both my baby girls are getting so big! Where does the time go???

HALLOWEEN HIJINKS!

We had a fantastic Halloween with A LOT of candy. Jeffie wouldn't stop hitting houses until he'd made sure he had all full size candy bars available. It was a great night. I was trying to be "cat woman" so I wore this suit mom and I made. On about the 3rd or 4th house of the night I tripped over my "cat heels" on some old lady's porch and was pretty much out of commission for the rest of the night! Yeah. For those of you who know me well......not a big shocker!!!! Emmie was Belle, AJ Indiana Jones and Syd was two people....one for school and one for the big night. Snow White and Mitchie from "Camp Rock".
