Corps Encore!!!

Ok I sent this as an email but just in case it doesn't work or what not..................

For those of you who have been asking (and those who weren't) here are the deats on my performance in Ogden http://www.corpsencore.com/ look around there's lots of info to put into your noggin.

I went to a showing of pretty much the 6 best shows of all time (it was.....amazing!) and it gave some little sneak peeks into this years competition. The shows are going to be something *fierce*!! *to be said Tyra style*

My corps is doing Aaron Copeland's "Ballet for Martha". The choreo is fantastic. If you like Martha Graham you'll love this show. And if you think she invented some sort of cracker......uh...well, it will be an educating experience :) Even if you're not really into the whole marching band/drum corps thing these shows are absolutely amazing and very entertaining. :D Everyone's invited!!!

Wingapo...

A Thought for the Billings

I had a thought about this blog. I got the Idea from my SIL, whose Family does this. Because some family members read this blog only, we should have everyone in the Billings family post at least once a month on this blog. Just an update or even just pictures. 

Anyway, tell me what you think. We don't have to, it's just a thought.

A little FYI :D

Hey! I just thought I would let everyone know why you're not going to see me during the summer. So no one can say "I didn't know!" :D I made the Santa Clara Vanguard (Woot!), a DCI based in Santa Clara California. (for those who are wondering what a DCI is: It's Drum Corp International aka: a marching band on steriods. There are no woodwinds, just brass, drumline, and guard.) SCV is a world corp (profesional level minus the getting paid part). Their winterguard took first at the World Championships so I get to spin with the best of the best. I'm moving out to California on May 22nd and I will be moving back around August 10th. We travel all over the US on busses and sleep in school gyms. I'm so excited!!
There is a show in Ogden on July 8th, everyones invited!! :D

These are the busses we ride in all summer.

SCV performing ^^^

This is me and my friend at auditions. >>>>

Anyway, just thought I'd let y'all know.

peace out, girl scout!!

Baby Logan Tyler Long's blessing day

We just got home from Logan Long's blessing and dinner afterwards.  Lynn Allan blessed Logan in his little white suit.  Lynn did a good job of it.  He couldn't hold Logan because of the surgery on his hand this last week, so he just did a one handed bounce with others in the circle holding the weight of the baby. 

Sylvia doesn't blog so you probably won't get any pictures of the baby because she is the only one that had a camera.  

After the blessing in our ward, Sylvia and Lynn had us all over to their house for Hawaiian Haystacks.  yum yum!!!

It was a nice day for baby Logan and all his relatives that got to come.  

1st Christmas with Grandbabies . . . couldn't be better

What a dolly that Jocelyn Nichole Bott is!!! We can't get enough of her.

Aunt Lexie put baby Afton's hair in a faux-hawk. Aunt Lexie is forming a gang with her nieces. Jocelyn is named lil'B and she's still coming up with a name for Afton.

Baby Jocey loved all her new toys she got. Specially the bows and paper they came in.

Their true personalities . . . . . "what else can I look at and take in and be amazed at" and "just leave me alone so I can sleep . . . . it's exhausting being two weeks old!"

Shayla, Cory, and baby Jocey came over in the afternoon to festivize with us. Jocey looked so cute in her Christmas dress that Auntie Renae bought for Jocey and Afton.

Our cute Tysee getting ready to rumble!

Lexie got 2 penguins to put in her ice cream truck to take to Italy so she can marry an Italian professional soccer player. (We do what we can, as parents, to support any dream she might have!!!!) And really, who wouldn't want to marry that face!!!

Chelsea and Pepino hanging out on Christmas morning. Nobody misses Chelsea like puppy!

Grandpa Gordon holding baby Afton on Christmas morning. We were so glad Tyson, Chelsea and Afton were here with Gordon, Lexie, and me.

Afton is here!!!

I figured I'd post some pictures of baby Afton since Chelsea and Tyson don't have the internet (and blogging probably isn't a big priority right now!!) so here are some pictures from the day Afton was born and the next day. Me and Lex and Jocelyn drove up on monday to visit. My parents were there on the day she was born, and my mom stayed another day. Baby Afton was born on Sunday, December 14 and weighed 5 pounds 10 ounces and was 19 inches. Her full name is Afton Ellavee Hathaway.Tyson keeping Jocelyn entertained in the waiting room so we could go back and see the baby. Chelsea asked me when she saw this picture if I had cut Jocelyn's hair! Ha ha! Not everyone is born with beautiful tresses like Afton!All the girls (minus Jocelyn)
