Girls Night Out!

We had the pleasure of having our nieces Macey and Jewelana stay with us this past week while Caleb stayed in the valley with their brothers.
As a special treat we took all the girls out to see The Silver Creek Little Theater preform "Beauty and the Beast".
The show was Fantasic! All the actors and singers did a wonderful job. We had a great time. I had a hard time actually watching the show because I kept wanting to watch the faces of My girls while they were watching the show. It was so fun to watch their eyes light up every time Belle walked on to the stage. I enjoy musical theater, and I'm so glad that my girls enjoy it too.

I love plays!!! They are the best! You should check out BYU's ballroom dance team. They've been to Queen Creek High School to perform the last two years. It's the best experience!! I'm hoping they come this year too!

Gurr Family Dictionary

Those of you who have spent time with our family may have noticed that at times, we seem to have a language of our own. I thought it would be helpful to let you know what some of our favorite words and phrases mean to us.

Adgita (ad-je-tu) n. The feeling of being annoyed, or having heartburn, or indigestion. "Honey, I ate to much chili-dog-Pie, and it gave me adgita."

Buggy (bug'i) n. Any off road vehicle used solely for recreational purposes. Also known as ATV's. "Dad will you take us for a buggy ride on the Ranger ?"

Choke v. This is what the kids call throwing up. " I'm feelling sick. I think I am going to choke."

Choncho (chon-choe) n. A small town in northeastern AZ. the town is actually called Concho, but it reminds us of the town in the movie "Nacho Libre". So, we named it after a character in the movie... Choncho. "Man, If I had a double wide in Choncho, and one in Hell. I'd rent out the one in Choncho, and live in Hell.

Gee-on-out-o-here! adv. An expression directed at dogs. Adam loves shouting this phrase at dogs. He does it just so he can sound like a red neck. It's actually quite hillarious when he says it.

"Becauase I'm not Grandma that's why."
