I feel Wicked!!!

My favorite Musical in the whole wide world is Wicked! I love it so much that a couple years ago my Mom took me and my best friend McKenna to see it in Chicago. It was a great trip and I have wanted to see Wicked again. Well for my birthday last year my very thoughtful Husband bought us season tickets to Broadway across America which included Wicked. I've waited 10 months to see this show and it was totally worth it!!!

This is our "I can't wait to see Wicked" faces.

This is my "Hurry up and drive faster Todd. I'm too excited to sit down" face.

My parents, Jeremy's Mom, and boyfriend Todd all got season tickets with us.

This is my " I'm going to see Wicked" happy dance. Poor Jeremy, I'm almost ready to twirl and smack him in the face with my arm.

"OKAY I'm HERE the show can START NOW!!!"

Before the show the doors opened we took some pictures of us standing like the people in the pictures. It was so funny, but maybe you had to be there.

I only wish Dad's hair was more fluffy!

I really think that is what Jeremy is going to look like when he is older!

Thanks again for the season Tickets Babe! You are the best husband in the world and I want everyone to know it! Thanks for letting me celebrate my birthday all year long. Thanks Mom, Dad, Ann, and Todd for coming to the shows with us I'm sad there is only 1 left.

HIt Me Baby One More Time

Dancing, Beer being spilled on me, and getting grinded by girls was how I spend my Tuesday night!

The Britney Spears concert was amazing! I had so much fun. My friend at work Tori had 4 tickets on the floor from that she got from B98.7 where her husband works so she invited Me, Mary, and Cara.

This is chad Hatch, he is the biggest Britney Spears fan ever. In high school he knew every dance move to every song and I'm sure he still does. When I got there I had to call Chad because I knew he would be there and sure enough he was!
Cara, Me. Mary, and Tori dancing to the pussycat dolls!

This is how close we were to Britney! She is so pretty, but skanky! Britney lip-synced the whole concert, but we are just happy she said "What's up Salt Lake City" instead of "What's up Boise".

The next day B98.7 interview us about the show. We got to go over to the radio station and see how they put on the show and got to talk into the big microphones! They sent us a copy of the Interview, but I can't figure out how to put it on the blog. It's really funny so if any of you want to hear it give me your e-mail and I'll send it to you.

Thanks Tori for hookin' us up! Thanks to the girls I went with you guys are awesome!

Happy Birthday Nicole!

Today is my beautiful Sister-in-law's birthday!! Happy to you Nicole! I wish you the best birthday yet!

Nicole has been nothing but sweet and kind to me ever since I met her. She is always there to laugh at me whenever I feel the need to "entertain" people! She is a great Mother of 2 funny kids and a 3rd should be here like any day now.

What I have learned from Nicole is how to be a good Mother and wife. She has shown me how to be kind to all types of people and is currently teaching me how to NOT gag when babies do gross things. The best thing I have learned from Nicole come from a conversation around a campfire, but that can only be discussed with Nicole and Miranda. Nicole is so out going and is always eager to do silly stuff with me like jump in a lake with all our clothes on. I love being with Nicole and her Family! Thanks Nicole for all you have taught me and how much you humor me!

Happy birthday Nicole We love you!

4 - wheelin' fun?

What a wild weekend we had. Of course we had a great Easter! But the reel fun was in the 4- wheelin' adventures we had this weekend.

Our first adventure was with Travis, Natalie, and there friend Kyle. Trav got a new Jeep and wanted to go try it out, Jer and I went along in his 4- Runner and I took pictures of Trav's Jeep lookin' "tuff".

The drive was so pretty and we were having a good time and we thought that we should just go up as far as we could.

When the snow was getting deeper Travis looked at this as a challenge! I really didn't want to go through any of the snow, but we had to follow Travis.

Trav go high-centered on a snow bank, and the wheels were just spinnin'. Kyle and Jeremy tried to push them out

When that didn't work they tried to dig the Jeep out using snow scrapers, and a ceramic tile.

Luckily, Jeremy had a tow rope in his Jeep and he had to not just pull the Jeep out, but Yank them out. I think we worked the our 4- Runner too much because it started smoking. This is when I got nervous.

Once we yanked them out Trav managed to get stuck again. This time all 4 of us had to rock the Jeep until the wheels could get some traction and start going again.

Jeremy was the Hero of the day. Thanks babe for being so freakin' HOT! I'm with Natalie on this one, next time let's wait until the snow melts!

On Sunday we went actually took a 4- wheeler up by the "B" and played around up there with Adam, Jess, my Mom, and Dad. No pictures of this adventure, but we had a lot of fun. Adam and Jess went through a big Mud hole and drenched the 4- Wheeler and them covered in Mud! The best part was to see my Dad's face, he hates when his toys get dirty! Needless to say, Adam had to go home and clean the 4- wheeler.

Despite the fact that I was sad we didn't go to Moab with Jeremy's awesome Brother, sister-in-law and a couple of our friends we had a fun weekend. Thanks to everyone who shared it with us.

Happy Birthday Darin

Happy Birthday Darin! I hope that today you have the best day ever!

Thank you for being such a great husband to my Sister and a wonderful Father to my cute niece and nephew.

You have always been a kind, loving person who is dedicated to everything you do. I love how you are so handy your talented in every way and can do anything from build houses to changing a poopie bum! You are a rock star.

You have an awesome personality that just makes me laugh anytime I'm around you. You have teased me all the time and I love that we can joke around. I however, did not like the time I called you and you pretended to be an old lady and I got really nervous that I had called the wrong house. You are a riot! You fit right in with our family and we are blessed to have you part of our lives.

Thanks for being an example to us all. From you we can learn how to laugh, love, and be hard workers. We can learn to laugh at you while you entertain us with all your many voices and imitations you do. We can learn to love our Family and our Father in Heaven as you do. We can learn from you to be hard workers and work all day and come home and work on our own homes.

Thanks for being my brother-in-law! Happy Birthday!! Now when can we go to dinner?

Happy Birthday JO-JO!

Today is my beautiful Mom's birthday!

My Mom is the best Mom in the whole world! She is also the funniest Mom in the world! She is so kind, caring, fun, goofy, and amazing. I'm so happy the Heavenly Father blessed me with a great Mom such as her. She is always there for me whenever I need her. I call my Mom all the time to ask about cooking, laundry, cleaning, crafts, and just about any other situation that might arise from my crazy life. Growing up I thought I was a Princess ( I still do), but my Mom will always be my Queen and I love her so much.

My Mom is such a great Grandma to 3 silly grand kids. She gives them anything they want and will help them with anything she needs. She loves them and they love her!

Jo loves nothing more than to vacation with her family. This past year we went on a ton of vacations! Mom is a great planner and makes sure that we have every dinner and activity planned. She loves to have fun and explorer new places. The best vacation we went on was a trip to Oregon where of course our motor home broke down. The sewer tank blew out and some guy was trying to replace a tire and Mom saw Sewer "stuff" running towards the guy. Mom kept putting paper towel on the ground to stop the "stuff" from touching the guy. (GROSS) Fell free to share your funniest Vacation moment with Jo Gines!

Mom is an amazing cook she has tried and tried to teach me, but it just goes in one ear and out the other. She is the Queen of killing I swear show her a stain and it stands no change against my Mother.
Mom always did the not so fun stuff around the house, clean up puke, kill the spiders, fix my pain, cook, and try to make us kids help her clean the house. I hope one day I can be "a strong Edman Woman" like her.

My mom is so out going and loves life. She has been through so much and can give you advise on almost anything you ask her about. In High school my Mom was the rad Mom, everyone loved her and wanted to come play at my house because my Mom was cool. She fed our friends by the dozen I know most of my friends would come to my house just to eat and then leave. They would all call her Mama Jo and they thought of her as a 2ND Mom! Thanks for being such a cool Mom.

She has supported me in every play I have been in! She was at every play at woods cross every night and even backstage helping with food. She was at Rodgers when ever she could make it.

How is my Mom Super Woman? Thanks Mom for being so awesome with us as your 4 kids I don't know how you are still sane. Thanks for teaching me everything I know and for teaching my example. I know I can come to you whenever I need help, advise, or just need to talk to someone. You are truly the best! Happy Birthday, I LOVE YOU!!

Cents of Style

Last night I went to an awesome party! I love finding deals on everything, but when I can find a deal on accessories it just brightens my day. I wanted to share this awesome company with everyone. They name of the company is Cents of Style they sell really cute and fashionable shoes, handbags, headbands, and jewelry the best part is the price. At the party they just filled the living room with accessories and then you just take what you want. I like that I didn't have to order things, I took what I wanted home with me that night.

Shoes are anywhere between $10 and $15! Boots last night were 2 for $20! I wanted to buy one of everything. Also the nice thing about the shoes is that if your size is not there they can order it for you. They had some of the cutest spring shoes last night.
I love the Jewelry they sell. You can get earrings for $5, necklace for $7, or a necklace and earring set for $9! I won't tell you how many sets I ended up buying!

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a sucker for cute handbags! They sell them anywhere from $10 to $15! I had so much fun at the party and now I will have accessories with every outfit, but the best part was I didn't spend a lot! You can check out there website at www.mycentsofstyle.com

I want everyone to have cute accessories like me so on June 11 I will bet hosting a Cents of Style party at my awesome Mom's house in bountiful. Let me know if you would want to come!

Hope to see everyone there!
