It's a GTU kind of day!

This entry is a little late but I thought it was blog worthy!
Last week my brother-in-law, Matt Yarro, appeared on Good Things Utah to promote his Internet safety tool. He has been working on this device for the last 2 years so we were looking forward to him getting the exposure that he did. He did an amazing job and we are really proud of him for his noteworthy cause. 
I was surprised at how different the set looks in person than it does on TV! Ever since I became a stay at home mom, I have found that the sound of the TV being on in the background keeps me company while I do chores around the house and take care of Emerson. I am a fairly new viewer of this show but it actually never ceases to disappoint me with it's crappy craft ideas and recipe ideas that are full of nuts, onions and peppers! The ladies who host the show are just as difficult to endure! Nicea, however, was quite nice and interacted with the audience. Marti was fake. She flashed her cheesy and flood-ready pants then assumed her position at the center of the table. Reagan was a total beast and I wanted to spit on her from the audience but unfortunately the super artificially tan producer Mike Mckay sat behind us! Reagan had her back to us the whole time and even during commercial breaks she refused to talk or even look at the audience. She's a snob! After the show was done airing, us ladies of course had to make it into an all day outing by recovering with a free lunch at Costa Vida (courtesy of GTU) and then a full day of shopping! It is always fun to have a girl's day out! (this entry may sound a little cynical, but if you know me well, it's all in good fun!)



The real VIP's are ready to be escorted in now!

Light's, camera, very little action!

Way to go Matt! Lookin' good but what is the guest host doing?


Love that smile Marti Skold! Reagan....you're a lame-o.


Maybe you didn't know that Doug Heffernan and I are quite close!


My sister, mother and I think we should be on TV instead!

It was the best day! I always knew you had a thing for Doug. Somehow I didn't get that pic, I'm stealing it. Still waiting for the contract to sign.

The Kings of Queens has nothing on Wes however. Oh to be admired by so many men.

Steve went to high school with one of the girls. I didn't believe that he was friends with her, (You know how down to earth he is). When the boys did the show she saw my mother in law and we got the special treatment. I think you should get on the show and do the crafty thing, you would be great. Wait, then I would have to watch it everyday and maybe get a DVR. Could I handle it?
