The Lion King

We were able to go see the Broadway musical The Lion King at Capitol Theater last night, August 27, 2010.
The show was incredible!! The music was phenomenal, the costumes were amazing, the scenery was so creative. I'd recommend everyone see the show if you have the chance.


Dinner at Texas Roadhouse before the show.


We weren't allowed to take pictures in the show, but here's a few that were online:



It really was spectacular and we're so glad we had to opportunity to see it!

HAIRSPRAY

Melanie and Megan are in the show HAIRSPRAY at the Riverton City Arts Council Theater. Melanie plays a Dynamite and Megan is in the black ensemble. It's a really good show and everyone should go see it if you have the chance! The show is so cute and is worth your time and money. They've really enjoyed being in the show and we've really enjoyed watching them! The show goes for another week, through August 21st.








For more information or to buy tickets, you can go here. It really is such a fun show! Good job Melanie and Megan!

Summer of Surgeries

Liz (mom) has had a pretty rough summer! She's had surgery on her thumb, 2 awful root canals, and just recently, her thyroid removed. She sure is a trooper and we're grateful that she's okay and survived all of her procedures. School starts the 26th and we're hoping for a non-eventful school year!

Pictures from her thyroid surgery:

At least she had an amazing view out of her 10th floor room!


Feel better soon, mom.
We love you!

After dinner, we played some games and then she
opened her presents and we had cake and ice cream!




Happy Birthday Melanie!

4th of July

For the 4th of July this year, we had a barbecue with some of our neighbors in the Hansen's backyard. Every 5 years since we moved in in 1990 we try to get together with the Hansen's, May's and Taylor's (since we all moved in about the same time) and we have a little party and we make predictions of where people will be and what they will be doing in the next 5 years. This year we had the party on the 4th of July and we read the predictions from 2005 and saw which ones came true and which ones were way off. :) We had a great time visiting with friends, eating good food and celebrating being American.
