Road Trip

Guy's new and improved Mustang with a Shaker Scoop and Hood

Our Mustangs at the Gateway Canyons car show in Gateway, CO



Each Mustang is completely different.  I love the rock formation in the background - it is called The Palisade



We enjoyed going to Grand Junction, CO the first weekend in May with a small group of people from the Mustang Club (Northern Utah Mustang Owners Association - NUMOA.)  Guy and I needed a break and we wanted to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, so this seemed like a good choice. Below are a few of the people we went with, where we stayed and a few of our favorite cars.

Jay and Peggy Page, Roger and JoAnn Graham, Guy, Sharon and Pete Marron

We stayed in a lovely hotel called the Wine Country Inn located in Palisade, CO

BSA 1969 Motorcycle.  I'm a 1969 edition also.

The History of Cars Museum at Gateway Canyons, CO

Love the color of this car.  It is lighter on top and darker at the fenders.

This car is all chrome.

This gold car is an F-88 Oldsmobile.  It was a concept car.  There is only one in the world.  It sold for 3.2 million dollars

I love this Camaro

We Won a Major Award

Bountiful High School Musical Theatre, who was nominated for 8 Utah High School Musical Theatre Awards, came away with the award for BEST CHOREOGRAPHY for their production of Gershwin’s CRAZY FOR YOU. BHS Director, Angela Brown, said, “Every dance was original to our production of CRAZY FOR YOU. We are honored to receive this award. It is a testament to, not only, how creative our choreographers are, but also, to how dedicated and talented the students of Bountiful High School are.” Besides singing, choreography and dance is the main component of musical theatre.


Choreography is the "meat and potatoes" of musical theatre.  If we weren't to win for overall best musical - this is the next best thing! Yea Team!!  Listed after the pictures are the 2011 Result of the UHMTA's.

A Week Full of Shows!

     We spent the last week being involved with the theatre.  After Preston had such a good time in BHS's Cinderella, he decided he wanted to be in another show.  Luckily Grandma Sheri and Aunt Megan were in teaching and directing the Musical Theatre Classes at the Creative Arts Academy.  They let Preston come in to the rehearsal process late.  He did his best to learn the songs and dance moves.  Preston played a turtle in the Jungle of Nool.  His cousin Laila played JoJo, and his other cousin Hayden played Horton the Elephant. 

CAA's "Seussical the Musical, Jr." Cast Picture


     Preston had 3 dress rehearsals and 4 evening performances.  He had a great time!  He loved it.  The only thing his didn't like was his costume made him hot.  I was so proud of my boy!  On the stage doing the best he could. 


Preston as the Old Man in "The Emperor's New Hair"

      Preston also performed in his class plays at school.  He played the old man in the "Emperor's New Hair."  He used a cane and wore little glasses.  He was great as the old man.  He walked slowly and hunched over.  He played with his glasses and said his lines in character.  So funny.
