Hoover Dam

On our way home from our recent Utah trip we got to stop and take a tour of the Hoover Dam.








New Years in Utah

It has been a long time since Jason and I went out or even stayed up for a New Years. But when we were invited to My Mother and Sister in laws performance downtown in the Joseph Smith Building, I am not going to lie I did hesitate a little because their performance was at 11pm. My bed time is usually 10pm and I didn't think I could stay up that late plus I was nervous to leave Bryce. But it all went good and we enjoyed the night. The performances were amazing!

My Mother in law Shawna is Classical singer and did an amazing job.

My sister in law Amie has a beautiful voice and sings Broadway.

This couple is a married couple and did a great job together. I leaned over to my brother in law and jokingly said I wounder what it sounds like when then fight? Do they sing it out!

The whole group, did a wonderful job.


Princess

I have to admit having a girl is so much fun! Jazelle is a total princess, she loves anything girly. Jazelle's hair is crazy curly and a big fro, on the days I do not do it, but I do get compliments from strangers and friends. Anytime I get together with my family they always want to "fix" her hair haha. My cousin Nisha has a talent with doing hair, she has a beautiful daughter the same age as Jazelle and her daughters hair is always so cute and styled. One day we planned a pllaydate and after she came over with my Aunt's and I asked her if she can do Jazelle's hair in beads. I remember as a little girl having beads in my hair.
It only took her a little over an hour and Jazelle sat there the whole time hardly fussing. We loved the the style. She would swing her head around and listen to the clinking of the beads.

When it came time to take the braids out she would not let me, so I had to leave them in a little longer. I wish I had the talent and patience to do that kind of work. But until then I will count on my cousin ;)
