My Valentines Date






Husband couldn't make it home from school for Valentines so it was Ashlee and I for the big weekend. We went to Grand Junction to see one of our favorite comedians, Brian Regan. The show was hilarious and at one point my eyes were so blurry from crying tears of laughter I couldn't see a thing. Afterwords we ate at Taco Time (Bill hates the place) and then came home and played Wii Cheer all night. We had a blast together and I am lucky that she is my Valentine!

Old Enough to Look 16.


This past month Ashlee auditioned for a play at Magic Circle Theatre. The audition information said they had to by 16 or older to audition, but Ashlee tried out anyway and got a part in the upcoming Cinderella play. I was blown away by her audition. They had to sing, dance and do a reading. I wasn't worried about the singing (obviously) or the dancing, but I had never heard her read a script. Holy Moly was I surprised to watch her read lines with one of the Prince hopefulls. She was fantastic, like it came natural for her. Not one time did she look or act nervous. During the auditions the director kept pulling her and this other 19 year old girl out of the group to audition with the princes looking at chemistry between both of them. I over heard the mother of the 19 year old saying she was a theatre major at Colorado State, and Ashlee was doing great keeping up with her. I was so proud. I think we have found her niche. So the practices begin and the play is going to be in June. I am excited!!
