not Michael Buble, but I still like his style

He's still my favorite, and I hope he makes it through the next few weeks.

LOVED the song he chose for this week.

"Wicked" isn't the only thing we saw at the Theatre!

Sarah, Sonia and I were waiting impatiently at the entrance to the mezzanine last night. Sarah was anxious...I was anxious, and just leaning against the wall, talking with Sonia, when I saw Sarah wave at someone, down the hallway. Wondering who she saw that we would know, I peaked around the corner, and the Prophet was walking into the theater with his wife. He had seen Sarah standing there at the head of the line, and had smiled and waved to her, so she waved back. I asked her if she knew who that was, and she said "no". I told her that it was President Monson, and the lady usher said, "Yes, and the only one here that he waved to was you, young lady!" That made her smile. When we got inside, we looked around and there he was sitting just about 8 rows directly in front of us. Needless to say, it was kind of fun to watch people's reactions when they recognized him and tried to get a snapshot of him, without bothering him. He seemed to enjoy the show too!!

Bravo ! - He stays !

"With a pleading look in his eyes and a spare arrangement, Allen performed a moving rendition of "Falling Slowly," the Oscar-winning waltz-like ballad from the sleeper 2007 indie flick "Once," the only song of the night to come from the 2000s. Like the scrappy songwriters behind the tune, Irish rock survivor Glen Hansard (the Frames) and former girlfriend and first-time actress Markéta Irglová, Allen has at times seemed like the underdog. But with the roll of the dice on a song that judge Kara DioGuardi feared many in the audience might not know, Allen delivered what she deemed one of his best moments to date on the show. "

Movietime !!

We got to go to a couple of fun movies with some

of our kiddles this past weekend. This one was so funny!

Sonia started naming all of her friends that each monsters character

reminded her of. Funny, cause I thought Gianormica

reminded me alot of HER!

Sarah and I made Easter cookies Saturday, and needed a break from the kitchen so Grandpa let her choose where to go. Bet ya can't guess !

I really don't like Miley Cyrus, but the movie wasn't so bad after all.

Very entertaining, and the story line was good.

Sonia rented this movie and then let us watch it. I had been wanting

to see it since it won the awards. It was pretty good.

It reminded me alot of the book we are reading for book club this month.
The book is much more depressing though. What a horrible, suppressed
life these women have in Afghanistan. It is very sad !
Everyone should read this ~ it makes you very grateful
for your life, the gospel, and your freedoms !
