Happy 8th Birthday Izack!
It was a great party. . .
Pizza!
Cake!
Bowling!
Thank you Aunty Amber, Uncle Jon, Nathan, Hart and Tucker!
Okay, Gabriel had us going nuts. Granted we had the bumpers up in the gutters. However, if you look at his score, he had 3 spares in a row! It ended up that he had 5 spares in a row and a score of 126. This was the only picture of the score that turned out. But we were so excited screaming because it was just hilarious. He was in the zone! lol!

TAGGED
I got tagged by Jenny, so here goes:
6 Facts about me
1. I love to read. This is no surprise. I'm trying my best to move on from the Twilight Saga. . . Other than Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer my other favorite books are Angels and Demons by Dan Brown and The Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux. More life affirming favorites: The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Holy Scriptures.
2. When I was in college I was broke nearly all the time. I was so poor I couldn't afford the $12 cap & gown fee. So I didn't walk when I got my Associates Degree at Ricks College. By the time I graduated from BYU-Hawaii I'd learned about credit cards. ;-)
3. My favorite job after High School was working for Tysinger Dodge and Mercedes Benz. I was their 'Runner.' I would pick up parts, take customers home, pick them up when their car was finished and basically go get anything the managers needed. I met the most interesting people. There were the downtown Newport News Dodge truck crowd and the upscale Williamsburg Kingsmill Benz owning saviour-fare. In all honesty, they all got the same level of service from me. At 19, I was just happy to be paid to drive.
4. Up until a few years ago, My dad lead me to believe I was related to Pocahontas. Well, the genealogy didn't pan out so well after all. LOL! I am grateful to say I do have American Indian blood from both parents. My Mom's great-grandmother was nicknamed 'squaw.' She was full Cherokee Indian. (I don't know what happened to me. I don't have near a bit of a tan!)
Between Clesson and I, our children are 1/8 Hawaiian, 1/8 Filipino, 1/8 Scottish, 1/8 German, at least 1/32 American Indian and I'm still trying to figure out the rest!
5. I love puzzles, word games and pop culture from the 80s and 90s. I love to quote movie lines and guess 'what else that actor's played in.' Don't get me started with The Princess Bride, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Clue!
6. My name, JOY, was given to me by my dad. From the Book of Mormon scripture 2 Nephi 2:25 "Adam fell, that men might be, and men are that they might have joy." My dad let my mom know that their first daughter would be named Joy because of this scripture. This was major news to my mom because he hadn't even proposed yet. . .not to mention he was still on his mission.
Another fact that I find so fun: My Mother-in-Law's name is Gloria and my Sister-in-Law's name is Delight. There's a lot of Hallelujah in the Paet Family! LOL!

Oh My Holy Heck! It's Donny Osmond's 50th Birthday Concert in Las Vegas!
Okay, crazy thing - Wednesday night my friend Sandra calls and invites me to attend the Donny Osmond concert in Las Vegas. Just like that. Clesson was so supportive and happy for me! What a great husband! So Sandra and I flew out Friday afternoon arriving at near midnight Vegas time. We met up with her former missionary companion, Carolyn.
On Saturday, we were apart of the Donny.com by-invite-only 50th birthday meet and greet. So 300+ of Donny's closest friends =D were able to sit in a theater and have him answer questions, sing a little and laugh a lot. He was 'roasted' by 5 friends that surprised him by telling childhood stories and personal stuff. It was really fun. That lasted from around 11am until nearly 3pm! Then we went to lunch/dinner and came back for the concert that evening.
Rockin' with the band.
Singing "You Look Wonderful Tonight".
Sandra with Donny performing on the stage. So close!
WOW!
Carolyn, Sandra and I after the concert.
There were loads of fans in line to say hi after the concert. Donny hurried off pretty quick though.
Sandra asked a lady to take this picture for us. To put it nicely - she was drunk. She juggled my camera and a Corona bottle. There's all kinds of talent in Vegas.
This was so fun! Woohooo!
That's me, Carolyn, Leimana and Sandra. We had a lunch buffet at the Paris Hotel. YUM!
