BEWARE...new post overload!

I have been neglecting my blog lately, so please forgive me! These last few weeks have been CRAZY!

This last weekend was the Arizona All-State music festival in Tucson. I haven't been to one since I was a participant...which was MANY years ago. This year, I had a niece AND a nephew in the choir, so I was just dying to go. I sure was glad I did...it was just AMAZING!! It brought back so many good memories!

I was really needing some "alone" time, so I wasn't planning on taking any of my kids with me. Kirstie had different plans, and I was feeling bad for her being cooped-up in the house for a week with the chicken pox, so I ended up taking her with me.

We went with my parents, and stayed the night in St. David at my older brother Brent's house. Then the next morning we met up with my youngest brother Nathan and his family, at the Reid Park Zoo there in Tucson. To our surprise, it was a free day! I was feeling a little guilty for not having Jennah and Stevie with me too, until I saw the crowd! There was wall-to-wall people!! Despite the crowd, we still had a good time! I think Kirstie was needing some "mommy & me time" too. Now Steve and I just have to figure out a time we can afford to go and take all three!

We ended our weekend with a very fascinating tour of UofA law school (where Nathan is attending), and then going to one of the BEST concerts I've been to!

It looks like you guys have been having some fun. Poor Kirstie, with the chicken pox, we haven't experienced that yet. It was probably good she got to with with Mom. Sounds like a good fun trip!

Jealous! I've wanted to go back to all state too! Next time they are at ASU I'm there. Nothing like good choir music!

Yikes! I guess I gave you some bad information! Glad it's all over though. :)
