Concert Weekend Goodness!

I had the privilege of going to two concerts this weekend at The Avalon Theater in Murray. Friday night was Jon McLaughlin. Amy, Ally, Adrienne, Dede, Coventry, Melissa, and I all went. We were quite pleased to find that there were benches to sit on inside the theater. The crowd was quite small, sound pretty good, and entertainment amazing! I love the way Jon's fingers fly over the piano. He is very talented and you can tell he was classically trained by the way he plays. I didn't get a picture of Adrienne....

Ally and Amy (apalled at the opening band maybe?)

We all bought these cool wristbands!

Jon's set list!

I actually asked a girl who had his set list if I could just take a picture of it. (LOL)

Saturday Colleen and I spent most of the day in Park City at the ski swap and then the outlet mall. We were excited to find a Cafe Rio in town for a tasty lunch.

Matt Nathanson was at The Avalon Theater Saturday night. We were a tad bit disappointed to find a sell out crowd at Matt's concert just because it was a lot more clausterphobic, hot , and uncomfortable compared to the night before. However, the opening band was actually really really good and Matt was Awesome. He is so funny and I love his music.

Amy, Adrienne, Ally, Dede, and I went. This time I only got a picture of

Adrienne and I.

I actually asked the sound and light guys for Matt's set list. Unfortunately whatever printer they printed it on wasn't working too well......

Fun night and what a perfect weekend!

Halloween Chronicles

On Tuesday, Colleen and I went to the ward Halloween Party. They had Primary teachers decorate doors of classrooms at the church and then the kids did trick or treating inside. This is what my door looked like.

They had a chili dinner and a dessert contest so there was lots of yummy food! I was surprised how many people dressed up. The adults went all out. Some of my favorites were:

Mary Poppins and Chimney Sweeper (husband and wife)

Bees ( husband wife and cute little baby were all bumble bees)

Bacon and Eggs ( husband was bacon and then the pregnant wife was an egg with her pregnant belly being the yolk)

Iron Man ( this guy had the LED light under his shirt on his chest and a mechanical arm and hand that had all sorts of cool lights.)

Bat Man ( this little kid had these bat wings that actually popped out and opened up super big and then folded down inside the pack on his back. It was seriously cool!)

My kids from Sunbeams were:

a cougar, a transformer, a unicorn, 2 princesses, and arielle from little mermaid. Sooo cute!!

I dressed up as Raggedy Ann and Colleen was "her other personality."

At work, we had a Halloween Carnival for all the kids and then those that earned the privilege had a dance that night!

Here is a picture of my department. From left to right:

Becky (pizza) Kimberly (Hawaiin girl) Rich (James Bond) Ashley (Transformer) , Emily (Scarecrow), Coventry (Baseball Player), Me (Raggedy Ann), and Craig (can't remember what he was exactly...)

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!
