Little update

NUVO

This picture is way messed up and blurry, but its the only one I took. I went to a dance convention this weekend. It was so much fun for me to take class instead of teaching. The two guys in this picture are Ivan and Travis from So You Think You Can Dance a few seasons ago. Ivan taught hip hop (freaking loved it), and Travis taught jazz and contemporary (freaking loved that too). There were 6 teachers and they were so amazing, I wish I would've taken more pictures.

Dane had to get tubes in his ears!
The saddest part was seeing him all sleepy in the little hospital gown.

Ben and I were so nervous, but it went really well and really fast.

Dane's first hair cut at Cookie Cutters.

TWILIGHT PREMIERE

Our little stud muffin brother Ryan was in the championship game against Alta a few weeks ago! It was so much fun to go to his games! Dane loves watching the games, he claps, yells, ohh's, and ahh's at everything. Ryan is such a great brother, uncle, and football player. He is such a unique boy, he is friendly, loving, smart, mature, spiritual, and can make anyone and everyone around him feel good. Good job "bubbers" we love you!!

The many faces of our Daner Lover Bum

Danes 1st Birthday!!!!

Since I'm not good at the slide show thingy, here is a million b-day pictures, just one after another, sorry:)

While waiting for the party to start Dane loved playing with Daddy and Uncle Brandon on the tramp at Grandma Hewards.
Ps. I dyed my hair brown. Oh geez.

My aunt Cherie brought her cute puppy, Dane loved him...poor kid, he doesn't know that Mommy will never let him have one of his own:( My cousins Morgan and Brooklyn are so sweet and nice to Dane, thanks girls!

Dane loved his new toy from Aunt Errin and Uncle Brandon...actually all the kids loved the present, it was craziness.

He was trying to go for the big cake when he sat him on the table, everyone in the room jumped to grab his quick little hands:) it was funny.

Dane loved his b-day cake! He knew exactly what to do this time, he dove right in. He was throwing it all over the place.

It was Great Grandma Jo's Birthday too! I can't say enough good things about my Grandma, she really is my best friend. She is always there for me, and helps me with anything and everything. She makes me laugh all the time, she is where I get my "dizty-ness" from:) She has been such a support to me my whole life, she is such an amazing woman. We love you so much Grandma Jo, Happy Birthday!

Danes 1st birthday at the Banfords!!!

When we got to Grandma and Grandpa Banfords house Uncle Grant and Grandpa were decorating for the party...Dane was saying "ooooh" like crazy when he saw all the balloons!

Dane was so happy to see cousin Laila!

Great Grandpa Buchanan and Dane were the Birthday Boys!

Dane wasn't sure about his cake at first...

but two seconds later he was loving it:)

He was trying to feed everyone some of his cake. You can see by his face that he takes sharing very serious. Ha ha, it was so funny.

Then he had so much fun opening his fun presents! Cousin Laila was such a good helper.

Dane kept trying to grab Great Grandpa Buchanans hat, so Grandpa put it on him. He kept it on for awhile, so stinking cute.

We love Great Grandpa, he is such an incredible example to all of us. He is so kind, respectful, hard working, generous, and he loves everyone around him. He is a true southern gentlemen. I think he has been a HUGE reason why the Banford boys are such good guys. He writes everyone letters on their birthdays, and I found one recently that he wrote to Ben on his 18th birthday. He had the sweetest words and advice. We love him so much! Happy 86th Birthday!!

Oh geez!

A few post ago I showed how Ben gave Dane a red vine in the car...well, he decided to sneek him some treats again!!! After I freaked out on daddy for getting Dane, the car seat, and the car a disaster, I realized it was kind of funny:) He had crumbs in his neck, down his shirt, and even in his diaper somehow, he was so happy about finally getting his hands in that puffs container!

GATOR WASH

GATOR WASH
I have a new goal to my car sparkling clean, so it is perfect that my friend Lindsay and her family just opened a new car wash on 7800 South and 1377 West in West Jordan. I freaking LOVE it!!! You just drive through and its all beautiful when you come out. ALSO you don't have to tip anyone, which means you don't have to stress when you don't have cash to pay those kids that "dry" your car at the end of some car washes. I swear they think you're such a jerk if you don't give them a $5 or a $10, I hate it!!! Anyways, it also has FREE VACUUMS!!!!! I can stop by anytime and vacuum out Danes big cracker messes and I don't need 10 quarters:) ITS SO CONVENIENT! Everyone needs to try it out, you'll love it!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!!!

I'm still smiling from our fun night at the SYTYCD concert this past week. I went with my sister Errin, and friends Lindsay, Shelly, Kathy, Brittany, Alexa, and Linette. I was such a good show. I could watch good dancers dance everyday all day! I always love this show, but Tabatha and Neopolian rocked my world this season. Geez! seriously! Next year everyone needs to make it a priority to go...it was so worth it!

Me Errin Lindsay

Seriously Lindsay and I look like sisters...but I promise Errin and I are truely the two that are related...weird though huh.

I'm so happy Brittany, Alexa, and their Mom/my friend Linette came too! I love these girls, they're amazing in every way. Just wait, they'll be on the show in a few years:)
