Father's Day LUAU!!!

For Father’s Day we had a big family LUAU!! We decorated the deck, dressed up in Hawaiian gear, played luau games (parrot scavenger hunt), did the hula and had Hawaiian haystacks for dinner. It was hilarious to watch the Dad’s/Brother’s all doing the hula. It was so much fun!

NEWSON FAMILY REUNION

The past week we have been having a Newson Family Reunion here in Colorado. It has been so fun to have the whole family here (24 people in one house) and to spend time with all the nieces and nephews. Ben and I had to work during the days but each evening we did something fun and got to spend quality time with everyone! It was such a blast and we really got to know everyone better!! We love family!

Colorado Star Ball

This last weekend I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Colorado Star Ball, a national Ballroom dance competition held in Westminster Colorado. I was a runner (I took the scores from the judges to the computer person who tallied the results), I helped with trophies/ awards and I also helped with odds and ends (setting up chairs, passing out ‘bling’, ect). What was the most amazing is that I got to spend two days watching people dance and it was amazing. Friday was a latin/rhythm filled night- with more scantily clad costumes but amazing moves, dips and spins. Saturday was a romantically elegant day filled with tuxedos and ball gowns doing the standard/smooth dances. It was so amazing to watch the theatrical dancing, see the bedazzled costumes and hear the eclectic music. It made me realize why I love dancing!
