Happy 2007! :)

Well, as always, the ball dropped in Times square at Midnight last night. Even though New York is on Eastern Time, we still saw it drop at Midnight on the West coast. That's the beauty of television for you.

Anyway, New Year's Eve was pretty dull in this house. I stayed up and tried to make my blog cooperate and do as I wanted it too, but I pretty much just wasted the time, I think. It still isn't right. I wanted it to do something different, but I'll keep working with it and maybe it'll work out. Justin went to his friend Calvin's house for a while, and I guess they rang in the new year by setting off everyone's car alarms. I don't think anyone out there had a question of when the clock struck midnight. The kids all went to bed pretty early, but KeLee woke up around 11:00 and stayed up to watch the ball drop with me. It was pretty cool, she liked all of the pretty lights on the ball in Times Square.

I hope 2007 is a great, healthy, safe, and prosperous new year for us all!

This is Devan at my sister-in-law's wedding. Isn't he handsome!

This is KeLee during the wedding as well. I know she doesn't look enthused, but she's still cute!

This is KeLee & Devan playing in the water at SandHollow during Memorial Day weekend. They had a lot of fun pushing the trucks into the water.

Washington County Fair

Well, it's well into August now and anyone from Southern Utah knows it's time for the Washington County Fair. It's traditionally the second full weekend in August and then school starts the following week. It's kind of a last bash for anyone dreading the return for another year of academics. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that for myself, I am still working on my "online college" and am well on my way to having an Associates of Business by March 2006. Devan starts pre-school on Aug. 22, but I'll write about that later. Back to the fair, the whole reason I'm writing about the fair is to let everyone know that I am entering KeLeeMae Nichol into the baby pageant. I entered her last year (she was about a month old at the time) and she didn't even make it into the second round. The winning babies were no where near as cute as either she or her cousin HarleyLynn (who was also entered). The contest has been changed this year. They are having registration on Wed & Thurs August 10 & 11. The judging on Friday, August 12, and the contest on Saturday, August 13. Let's just say, last year the judging took over 1 month. Registration, photography, judging 1-2 &3 times before the contest at the fair. Also, I don't know who will be judging this year, but last year the judges were the Washington County Royalty. They were like 14 years old and related to half of the contestants. (Gee, I wonder who won.) Anyway, I am certainly not a pageant mom who just wants her kid to win. I just think it is kinda fun, because she is very pretty and I would like to put it in her scrapbook just as having the oportunity. Most of the babies get awards anyway. Well, wish her luck, I'll let you know how she does.
