What a Day!

Congrats to Lauren, LJHS Pioneers Cheerleader '09! (of course!) She's super excited to be cheering with all her friends again this year. I think I'd better get Kent a shirt that reads: "My daughter and all my money belong to LJHS Cheer!". She wants to try-out for Mac's Allstars again, too. Maybe we'd both better get extra jobs.....
Happy Birthday, Emily! Our cute, sweet Emily turned 5 yesterday, and had her "Little Mermaid" party tonight. Can you believe our baby is actually FIVE??? She had such a fun party! I'll post pics in the morning, but right now I'm heading off to bed......

A Tribute to Club Libby Lu


While scouring the web for Disneyland tips for our trip next month (shhh...it's a secret!!), I discovered that Club Libby Lu has closed. Our girls will be so sad! It was one of their favorite side-trips on our last vacation, and I know they'll be sorry it's gone this time. For the uninformed (i.e., tween daughter-less), CLL is a cute store catering to tween girls with fun stuff and glam makeovers, much like the also-now-closed Sweet and Sassy in Draper. (On a side note, Limited Too has also been closed and is merely a signature line at Justice now. ) At least it's demise will save us about $120 in souvenirs this time. CLL, you will be missed.

Night at the Hutchings Museum

In the interest of magnifying our callings as Cub Scout leaders, Kent and I took our 3 Bears and our 3 girls to the "Night at the Museum" event at the Hutchings Museum here in Lehi. Honestly, I didn't have super expectations, but it was sooo much fun! The concept is much like the movie - the exhibits come to life. A life-size T. Rex skeleton greeted us in the foyer and tried to eat the kids :), and dozens of costumed characters roamed the halls interacting with the kids. We saw Native American dancing, joined the Revolution, talked politics and science with Ben Franklin, and got Dum-Dums from a giant Easter Island statue. I have to say, though, that my favorite experience was when a Minuteman shot down all 3 of our scouts as we were leaving. (hehehe)
