So precious

The cutest thing happened today and I just had to share. I have a new student at the Ivycrest dance school named (Ali). She is the sweetest little unassuming, attentive, happy little thing. Always smiling even after I have a major melt down and yell at my 5 year olds when they mess up their recital dance. 

We were doing our usual routine, gathering the other 5 jazz dancers from their respective classrooms and waiting by the bathroom for a couple class mates to change into their dance clothes. Out of nowhere (or so I thought) she asked: "Ms. Aubrey, are you sad today?"
It was so perceptive, so oddly thoughtful of a 5 year old, I couldn't help but answer honestly. I smiled a little bit and responded that yes, I was having a tough day. She asked why. I shrugged my shoulders, not about to burden her with silly adult problems. She thought a moment and looked up at me.
"Is it because you miss your mom?"
Seriously, this girl just gets it. New favorite student.

Far Too Long

Alright, you know we're struggling at blogging when I have to write the blog post. Yes, that's me Hunter. If I had it my way, I would control Aubrey and make her write the blog post but she is too busy with all her other fun things so you have to deal with my updates. The reality is, all 4 of you that read this blog on a quarterly basis do not care if we post or not. I want to have it because it's the closest thing we have to a journal. Anyways, it's been far too long since something was posted.


The picture above is our picture from the LMU vs BYU game last night in Los Angeles. We went to the game with Kate and Tanner and went to Truxton afterwards. It's some bomb american cuisine restaurant in LA. We had a lot of fun and ruined all of our calorie diets for the new year (WHOOO CARES!) The Cougars ended up winning by 8 or so but the game was too close. Aubrey was real excited because after the game Brandon Davies waived at her and Kate. They were as excited as a 14 year old school girl. I was pretty excited too because Coach Dave Rose told me I had a nice jersey three times. I was wearing Jimmer's Sacramento Kings jersey that I bought from my buddy Jordan Lewis.

Anyways, 2012 is among us and Aubrey is stoked to be able to read a lot of books. The Angels signed Albert Pujols and Aubrey and I got a 21 game package season tickets. Really excited about that! I was able to win a president club for my new company which will be accompanied by a trip to Cabo San Lucas Mexico. We're pretty excited about that. We are also looking forward to having Kate and Tanner's little girl join the family and AJ and Jen's child join the bunch. Should be a fun year. I have become a movie buff.

My favorite movie of the year was the Help. I also really liked Water for Elephants, Midnight in Paris, Mission Impossible 4 and Warrior. Hunger Games is coming out in March. I am ECSTATIC about that movie coming out as it was one of my favorite books I have ever read. Up there with Rich Dad Poor Dad, which has literally changed my thought process and the way I think.

We'll keep up better in 2012. Peace out.
