Where...Jordan High School
PS. I am also playing in this so I'm very excited to be involved. I am just going to pretend like I know how to play in a chair but it will be way fun and mostly because it's for a good cause sooooo if you can come? Please do!
The last time that I was in the Main gym of Lehi High School was on the night of my graduation day. The only thing that was on my mind was showing up, making an appearance, getting out to Cedar Fort, and finding Weston. Honestly...I know.
For weeks I'd been hearing about this Alumni Tournament that they were doing, both from my brother and from my friends. I would just laugh and shake my head, swearing that I could care less. For years, I'd told myself that I was "so over Lehi, all of that, and especially all of the things that the High school represented". Not so much. The closer the tournament came, the closer I knew that I'd give in especially since I knew how much it meant to my brother to show support.
O k. I will admit. I got hooked. Every night of that week I had to be to at least 2 games. I loved it! I love watching basketball games and especially games of those who are not pro. They still have the drive...the love...the heart even when they are old, fat, and slow! (not saying that these guys were!?!)
Anyway...unfortunately my bro's team lost so they did not get to the championship game but it did get to 1997 vs 1993. Emily's husband, my friend from high school who has the twin daughters, played on the 1997 team so it was all good that 1993 FINALLY WENT DOWN to them! hehehe JK?!?
Dinner plans got a little messy when "The Cheesecake Factory" tried to tell us that it was going to be a 3.5 hr wait!?! Are you kidding me??? The food IS NOT that good. Come on! So I made an executive decision and took us all to "The India House". It was SO GOOD! If anyone is interested in going somewhere different, it's on about 8800 South and State up in Sandy. Like I said...it was SO GOOD! We all ordered something different so that we could share which made it even more fun.

...after
Since the theme was shopping and because we were going to see the movie "Confessions Of A Shopaholic", we knew exactly what had to be on Tara's birthday cake. It turned out so perfect!
I was also extremely proud to be wearing my LATEST and BEST purchase...my '80's tight acid wash purple jeans! I LOVE THEM and had to show them off!!!
L to R...Nan, Teneale, Angi, Hiloree, Katie, Brigette, Sara, & Tara
This was a funny moment that we had to get a picture of. I was on my way home from running some errands and I was just in the mood for something yummy but nothing sounded good so I just went home. As I was pulling into my driveway I got a text from my friend Misty. 
Remember my friends from here ? Well, Chantel just had her baby so we wanted to get together to see her as well as to have a little play date so that's what we did and it was way fun! We always have fun catching up and laughing at ourselves! 
Emily's twin daughters, Avery and Kendal, were so amused with my chair. It's like a magnet wherever I go. I'm serious...and it was darling!
Note to self...kids...others. Seeing my friends always makes me a happier person which then creates a happier home so continue as much as possible! :)
I noticed that the kids movie "Bolt" was playing at "The Sticky Shoe Showhouse" movie theatre in American Fork so we decided to brave the disgustingness. But honestly...it was so clean, not sticky, not gross, and turned out really fun! They pigged out on popcorn, licorice, and sour straws even though it would be my sugar high nightmare when it was bedtime!
...this is Kindra's attempt at hiding her eyes from the piercing camera flash of light...
Probably the best activity that we were able to do, was to get the chance to go up and show the kids the Draper temple. We tried hard to explain some of the things that go on in the temple and in a way that would be easy for them to understand (and let me tell you how hard that was!!!) Carter was so excited to see the baptismal font because he is getting ready for his baptism. Even though we had to explain that his font would not look as "awesome" as that :)
Anyway...just a few of the fun family activities that we have been able to do while we are waiting for the snow to melt and the summer activities to begin!
And believe me...I've got the days on the calendar crossed off! :)
Yes this is me standing underneath my quote that has been written on the wall of the place that I used to/do go to therapy, "Neuroworx". When I first met Jan Black, she was just a therapist for another doctor so I consider myself an old schooler because I've been with Jan before "Neuroworx" was even in existence.
OK...so this is a warning. What you are about to see is not sexy. It's not cute. It looks awkward. But it's so great! Hard as hell but so awesome and more than words can explain! When I first learned how to do this 5 yrs ago, it was scary. I would have to talk myself into it and my famous line, my quote became "It's all mental" which is why they put it up on their wall. A classic Katie saying...Anyway...just wanted to show you what else I've been working on. I had to brag a little and show that I can still walk with my leg braces. I'm proud of myself that I can do it! I'll get better like I was before but I'd say that it's not too bad for try #1 and #2 for missing out on doing it for 4 yrs, huh? :)
