That Time We All Thought We Were Beyonce...

So maybe we spent alot of Christmas break playing Just Dance.
Here are Ry and Heath, yes they are doing the running man.  And nailing it I might add.

Go Ry Ry

Deb Jr. and Cindy Jr.




"Everyday I'm shufflin'" We.heard.that.song.alot.



Oh yes.  "Hit me baby one more time!"  Dancing to Brit-Brit.


Heather was so focused.   And awesome.

That would be Chuck Jr.

And here is how Allie looked most of the time.  JK.  She is the queen
of dance parties.


Keep an eye on my sis in red on the far right.  You will not regret this.  Honorable mentions:  nieces on far left don't skip a beat, Lauren bringing it home, and Aaron also knowing all the moves.  AWESOME.

Dear Sar,

(Just sharing some pics, and a few stories.  Just so I won't forget them.)

Remember the time you came home from a run and you were cooling down I guess by doing some breakdancing moves on the back deck?  You didn't think anyone was watching you but Cassie and I saw the whole thing.  Cassie even ended a phonecall just to watch.  We couldn't stop laughing.  (You were laughing too when you saw us, don't worry.)

Remember our Triple H nights? The Hills, Hires, then Hot-tubbing?  Remember though how you'd make fun of us for liking The Hills then we caught you watching it by yourself one day?  We were convinced you set your alarm to get up early and watch it by yourself.

Remember the parties we would have at our house?  And the one time those random boys in a minivan came that we didn't know.  Their minivan had a loud speaker, and when those boys left the party one of them said in the microphone "Come on guys we gotta hurry home, mom's gonna be TICKED!"  And we laughed about that for days.

Remember haggling for our Angels/Yankees tickets in the parking lot in California?


Remember ice skating? We put on quite a show that night.  And I just couldn't put down that donut for a picture.

Remember going to dinner right before Lisa got married?

Remember how you'd always come home with a bag full of Halloween stuff every year from the D.I. for us to wear?  One time, a bunch of ice skater outfits (remember the silver bullet one) and one time, some tutus, and one time--a penguin costume? We laughed so hard whenever you'd try them all on.

Remember when you, me and Katie dressed up as Ghetto Barbies for Halloween to work?  You were trying to do a ghetto limp through the office (with a radio on your shoulder no less), but you couldn't really do it, and instead I think everyone thought you had cerebral palsy. We were all laughing so hard I think we were crying.

Remember our trip to Cancun and all the fun we had? 

Remember when we rented scooters in Hawaii and mine got a flat tire, so you had to go ahead without me back to the rental place to get help?  And they sent a guy to pick me up in a scary, royal blue kidnapper van with no windows? Never been so scared in my life and I never thought I'd see you again.

Remember our matching outfits for the race in Moab? Why not.

Remember celebrating Angela's birthday when she came to visit?

Remember that SL Half marathon?  Pretty sure you came in like 2 hours before me you were so dang fast. You were so ahead of me that after you finished you ran the course back to find me. 

Remember the pull up bar in our house?  And the contests we'd have? You beat pretty much everyone that tried, even the boys. You could do like 3,000 of 'em and I could do 0.75 of one with a jump start.

Remember your birthday party that night? One of my favorite pics.





Remember the night Candace had a rough day (to say the least) and we tried to soothe her with a Slurpee? We went to probably 3 different 7-11's to get her the flavor she wanted.  When she got it, turns out, she said hers tasted like gasoline and it made her even more mad.  So mad we feared for our lives.  But then we laughed about that night for ages afterwards.

Remember it was raining so hard at dinner that night in St. Thomas and we were sitting outside?

Remember how we all invited ourselves on that same trip?  Don't mind us, just casually tagging along on your vacation to the Virgin Islands.  Candace made sure we were all on "lockdown."  And remember the night when we were in the back of Josue's car and Sarah Riley was trying to rap to a reggaetone song and we were laughing so hard?

Remember when we surprised you at that cabin and we had so much fun? And KK went into labor while we were there, but she powered through and stayed anyways.  And we were supposed to leave early Sunday morning but we left around 8 pm that night.  Secretly I don't think any of us wanted to leave each other.  But instead we blamed it on the rain outside.

Remember that night you just met Dan and were so nervous you didn't think he liked you back? Pretty sure you had nothing to worry about there...

Remember how ridiculously photogenic you were?


Remember how you were eyeing my ice cream sundae that night? And KK caught it on film? Don't worry I shared it with you. 

Remember this Jazz Game?  In a suite no less.  We didn't like to sit with the commoners. 

Remember Holidazzle? Now our Christmas dinner tradition. And remember that huge picture of me on the wall, that you thought I gave to you as your birthday present?
Remember your benefit dinner? So many people loved you and wanted to help.

You made life so much fun.
