Last week we were able to take the youngest kids (Yo-Gabba-Gabb-ites ^pictured above) to watch Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! We attended the show at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah. This audience participation-filled show, featured some Yo Gabba Gabba favorites: DJ Lance Rock , Brobee , Foofa , Muno , Plex , and Toodee , with special guests Hip Hop Legend Biz Markie and Razzle Dazzle Superstar Leslie Hall . It was awesome to see how much the kids enjoyed the show.  For the most part our 3 year old sat still, watched and danced.  She LOVED the show!  I loved that the show had so much audience participation.  I loved how much fun it was.  It really kept the kids entertained and involved with the show.  We definitely look forward to seeing their favorite characters next year.   They sang some of our little one's favorite songs,  like "There's a Party in My Tummy!" Compared to the last show, this show was much more exciting.  The cas...

Brief Synopsis:  How far would you go to restore the balance in your life that a tragedy had stolen from you?   Cliff Elliott thought he had endured the worst thing a parent could endure when his nine year old daughter was kidnapped, but he was wrong. The circumstances that led to her return were far worse than anything he could have imagined. Now Cliff, a man who rarely uttered a cross word, a man whose temperament and nature were as gentle as any man's could be, had his life thrown irreparably out of balance. Left with no other choice, Cliff set out not for revenge, but for justice; a justice that he hoped would restore the balance that was now absent from his life. The price to be paid to regain that balance though was much higher than he ever imagined it would be. In fact, Cliff almost paid the ultimate price,  almost. So take a walk in another man's shoes and try to imagine what you would do if you were faced with, 'A Critical Loss of Balance...
