It's My Party and I'll Cry if I want to!

Here are some pics from our rockin' American Idol party. We had a lot of fun and I'm glad that people actually showed up! I want to thank Dustyn and Kamie for driving so far to come party with us. It was fun.

I was a little disappointed that David Archuleta didn't win, but I was somehow able to fall asleep last night without crying ;0) I think both the David's are extremely talented, but I was really rooting for our hometown kid.

Being the big impatient cheaters we are, Kamie and I had both peeked at dialidol.com before the show started. The website was predicting Cook to win it by quite a bit. So we weren't too surprised that Cook won, but we were still hoping for a miracle with Archuleta.

All in all, it was a lot of fun. I think last year's finale show was a little better (more stars, more funny moments, etc) but I definitely liked this year's contestants a ton better. I can't wait for next year!

Getting ready to par-tay!


Shoving our faces. There was plenty to eat.


Stef and Hayley stealing some cookies. Hayley looks a little funny but that's because she was shaking her head NO and I just happened to snap a shot.


I forgot to take a picture of all our food before we started eating. There was a ton! We had this table full and another smaller table, too. Kamie brought some super-yummy food and she made an awesome seven-layer dip (thanks again). To give you an idea of how much food we had, this was just a little of what was left over! We definitely had plenty to eat! YUMMY!

Wooohooo David Cook!

Ya'll missed out on a good party!!  (Even if our David didn't walk away with the American Idol title)

Thanks Jenny (and Daniel) for hosting a fun party!  It was good to see you two!  

Of course I took my camera and never even pulled it out.  :P  Yes. Yes.  Just call me a slacker.  So no pictures for you.  

Now what's next?  Do we just all walk away and promise to be back next year?  :)  

Thanks for posting on our American Idol blog.  It's been fun to hear everyone opinions!  Make sure you come back next year!!  

American Idol FINALE Party Plans

The party is on! I'm going to have a finale party at my house in Cedar City on Wednesday during the finale. We will have treats and snacks - it will be WAY fun. For those of you who have expressed interest in coming, I will email you the address to my house. If you haven't expressed interest and you want to come, then leave me a comment.

In year's past they've done a pre-show that I think usually starts at like 6:30pm. Maybe it starts at 6:00pm, I don't know for sure. Does anyone know? I assume we'll start the party as soon as the show starts. If you want to start it for the pre-show then that's fine, too. Just let me know. I know I'll be watching it.

Can't wait to see those of you who can make it! If you want to bring a friend, spouse, lover, or stuffed animal that's just fine. Just please let me know.

See some of you in a few days!

Par-Tay!!!

Who all is up for a party next Wednesday to watch the Finale (at my house in Cedar)? Just trying to get an idea of who might be interested in coming...

I'll let you know more details if I have any takers...
