I love my family. My little sister, Alli, is on Alta's Dance Company so I just had to go to the Homecoming game to see her perform at half-time. Oh the memories. I'm not ashamed to say that I miss parts of high school. Performing was always so exciting. Anyway, it was extremely cold, but dance company did great and Alli looked so good out there. It was fun to be back in the stands at Alta and we were lucky to get this picture of all us Jardine/Bell/Grace kids at the game."Alta, Alta what's your cry? V I C T O R Y!"
And finally, I heard about a promotion for laser hair removal and decided to jump on it. I got a really good deal so I am officially getting laser hair removal under my arms. Whoo! I'm doing it with my sister-in-law and we had our first appointment today. It was way easy and so quick. I would recommend it if you think you can afford it, and if you want to go to the same place I did you can get a deal if I refer you. Anyway, this is Emily and I with our protective eyewear on right before we got our treatments. Yay for no shaving!
Who doesn't love Gev? He really is so good and he was pretty funny coming out in dresses and acting obsessed with Courtney. You should be able to double click on the pictures to enlarge them. :)
Thayne was one of my favorites because I have seen him perform Thriller so many times here with Odyssey. I was so sad he didn't make it to the top 10, but he did get to go on tour because they brought Jessica/Comfort back so they needed another guy to make it even. I was so happy!
The mattress dance, by Mia Michaels, was one of my favorites. If you look closely there are rose petals falling among Kerrington and Twitch.
This is Chelsie and Mark doing their hip-hop routine to Bleeding Love. It was so cool to see it in person and Chelsie did all the same facial expressions.
And, of course, the infamous "Door Dance." Katee was in a lot of dances and was amazing. I thought Will should've won, and when he was voted off, it should've been Katee. I took tons of pictures, but not all of them turned out, including the ones of Katie and Will's pas de deus to "Imagine." I took video of that one, but I can't figure out how to upload it so you all can see it. Oh well, hope all you SYTYCD fans have enjoyed these pictures. 
We went down to St. George for our anniversary trip this year and saw the shows at Tuacahn. We're lucky that my cousins and aunt work in the box office and got us free tickets. We saw "The Sound of Music" and "Les Miserables." Blake and Emily (Clark's sister and brother-in-law) came down with us because they're anniversary is just a day after ours, but this was their third anniversary. They brought little Audrie with them and it was so fun to have her there with us.
And David Cook. He knows how to work the crowd and I actually almost thought he was kinda good looking. He explained that his guitar says AC for Adam Cook, his brother that convinced him to audition and then didn't make it. I got to go up to the third row while he sang his last song so I had to act like a crazed fan.
JOHN MAYER! I forgot my camera this night, but we were so far away on the lawn at Usana that you wouldn't have been able to see much of John anyway. I went with my sister-in-law, Emily, and good friend, Liz, who is also sisters-in-law with Emily. We were lucky to see Colbie Callait open for John too. Colbie and John were both great and we had a totally fun girls night!
This was the first night we (my mom, me, my sis Alli and her dance group) were there. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe then walked around Times Square. It was so fun to actually be in the places that you see in the movies.
I was lucky to take a couple dance classes at "Steps" on Broadway. One day was a Jazz class and the next day was a Contemporary class. It was so fun! This pic was in the Lincoln Center right after one of the classes. This is obviously where the NYC Ballet is, as well as Juliard and several other artistic buildings. I'm definitely not a ballerina, but I was in a dancing mood. 
You can't go to New York and not see at least one Broadway show. We saw "Wicked" and it was absolutely amazing. We also saw "Hairspray," which was good, but not as good as "Wicked."
The fun part was that Ashley Parker Angel (you know, the cute blonde from the boy band O Town who also had a reality show last year), he was Link, the hot boyfriend. We got a picture of him after the show, then I pretended I was on Broadway. That would be a dream come true, if only I could sing.
We also went to the Statue of Liberty, where Alli's dance group performed in the rain. In the middle of a dance the entire statue full of people was evacuated and we didn't know why. Kinda scary. While waiting for things to get figured out, everyone was pushed back in between two souvenir shops and guess who walked out... President Uchdorf. It was pretty cool to see him and I actually got to shake his hand. We felt a little better about the bomb scare situation and everything was cleared up shortly.
In between all these events we also went to the top of Rockefeller Center, got a tour of NBC studios where we sat in the Conan O'Brien and SNL studios, went shopping on 5th Avenue, got purses on Canal Street, walked through Central Park, toured the Metropolitan Museum, ate authentic NY pizza and a Falaffle, went to the biggest toy store in the world, rode the subway and a double decker bus, and saw "ground zero" which is now a construction site for new towers. Last, but not least, we got up early to be on the CBS Today Show.
