.i got this from kajsia. funny. gingersnap is actually in my top 2 favorites. but pretty much i just love cookies.

.mamma mia here we go again.

.monday night we decided to do our own little broadway show. everyone had about an hour to prepare costumes. lyrics. and dance. to their favorite song from mamma mia. those who don't spend much time at our house wouldn't understand our deep love for this movie. we watch it on average... oh about twice a day. not all the time but when the kids come to town it is always a hit.

.we started the night off with jenny and laken singing i have a dream. it was quite the performance. as you can tell they are in the canoe paddling away.

.mom and dad gave us all awards. jenny got best vocals. laken got best paddler.


.next we were honored to see melanie and cincy sing/dance to honey honey. cincy has mastered the dot dot dot.

.melanie got best actress. cincy was best supporting actress.


.and last but most certainly not least rivers and i busted out dancing queen. i think we got a little more into it than our competitors.

.but it payed off when we won the grammy award.



.we had so much fun. i think the next time they come to town we will do a similar performance to another movie. grease. annie. hairspray. so get your party hats on.

.ahhh hahah.

.by far the funniest thing i have witnessed during my time at the elementary school is my students reaction to their specialty class. which happens to be dance this month. im not talking about bump & grind crazy dancing (of course, it IS elementary school). im talking. bow to your partner. now dosido. and similar moves. they absolutely HATE it. i try not to laugh when they are about in tears when they go. but i just can't help my self when they come back in and moan and groan about touching a boy/girl. these kids crack me up.

.lately.

.monday i started teaching at this school. i loooooove it. the kids are so cute. and so nice. it is definitely different teaching in utah. but it is good.

.someone talented made this cute school bag. i would like to say it was me. but..... it was my mom. she is awesome.

.pictures.

.I finally took the pictures off my camera today. so I will be posting random pictures for a while. this was taken when we were trying to get a decent picture to send with my invitation. it is pretty much my favorite. I miss school but more than that I miss Hawaii.

dear snow,

please go away. you make it so cold and slippery outside. you can come back next year but for now please leave. you have worn out your welcome.
love, whitney

.yay.

.i am so lucky. my family is so close and i love it. i never really appreciated it until i met so many families who aren't. the holidays have been so great with melanie and jenny and their families in town and mike and jason and their families hanging out. and also. my aunt and uncle came tonight for a sleep over. it is so much fun. and i love them all so much and am happy that we get to spend so much time together.

p.s. lots of pictures to come.
