All dressed up... it took us all a while to get used to the "anti-sunglasses" effect... hilarious watching us blinking, shifting, squinting, and readjusting to get the masks JUST right!
Taylor "just had this old thing lying around". He looked so handsome! And thanks, Rick, for supplying the awesome masks! It's not a mask without a couple of huge feathers tickling the other side of your face with ever dance move!
Ok: Now here's a few "VERBAL PICS"
*click* the 2008 Chrystler 300C Rick rented for the dance... such a sweeeeeeet ride
*click* everyone dancing to MJ's Thriller (all except me... I was too uncoordinated and ended up nearly tripping three girls with gowns that were way too long in the first place)
*click* all sorts of masks and fun outfits-- I was so happy that people got into it... there were V for Vendetta masks, huge feathery masks, Phantom of the Opera, even....
*click* the Burger King king was there! That was fun!
*click* All four of us DANCED the entire night away.... I give the guys major props for not once complaining or wanting to just "sit this one out"! I love that Taylor had just as much fun as I did, makes me add to the always-growing list of reasons why I love him!
*click* This guy came dressed as a Jester, which is a great costume.... however, he forgot to wear tights- so it just looked like a dude wearing an obscenely short tunic dress and funny shoes (ew. too much leg exposure)
*click* At the end of an amazingly wonderful night, we stumbled back in at 2 in the morning... relieved the sweetheart who babysat for us and CRASHED OUT!!!! That was one FUN DATE!
The next day, we went to Rick's Karate competition in Salt Lake City. Rick's new sport is pretty fun to hear about, but seeing it in action was really cool!
Uncle Rico, Taylor and Ava waiting for some sparring to begin!
All of us! Front: Adam, Lindsey, Ava, me
Back: T, Rico, Jacob, Jaime, Taunya
Rick lands a solid kick during his sparring match... he was awesome!
T catches it all on video
Wish I had more from the competition, but Ava was using the entire set of bleachers and anyone around her as her own personal jungle gym- so she kept me busy!
Anyway, Rick, if you're reading this- thank you so much for inviting us to come to the dance with you... we had so much fun! It was the BEST way to usher in a new year!
Speaking of a New year-- today, I turned 26. A tad crazy, now that I think about it... though I haven't really put much thought into it today. Taylor surprised me with a full day of pure relaxation (slept in LATE, he took Ava and made breakfast, lunch and dinner) what a champion! Thanks, T- growing old with you is pretty wonderful.
Destry and Riley surprised us with some cupcakes and a great gift... thanks a bunch you guys!
Ava helped me out with the candles.
Thanks to EVERYONE who called or wrote and wished me a Happy Birthday-- I've got the best family and friends ever-- I truly believe that! Here's to another amazing year!!

Katy- You are one hot mama!!! What a cool birthday. So how do you like 26? I turned 26 on the

I can't believe peop came up with that idea, I wish they'd do something like that here, I miss goign to proms and getting dressed in those dresses you only get to ever wear once, I even had a dream about it last night (not a joke)! That looks and sounds like it was so fun. Bythe way I hope you had a an amazingly wonderful outrageously fun birthday! Those cuppy cakes look like they were delish! Congrats on turning 26 and looking not but 18!
