Annie Get Your Gun

I love Steven, as you can probably guess. One thing I learned about him more after we got married is that he loves musicals! How wonderful is that? I know there are men who are so afraid of their "manhood" that they won't touch one with a ten foot pole. I guess that is just another reason why Steven is great! He isn't afraid to admit that there are great musicals. In the beginning of the seven week break, I bought my books for my classes. While I was searching I so happened to come across a DVD. This DVD has four musicals. Two of which I had heard of, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Annie Get Your Gun.



The latter one was one we decided to watch this past weekend with Steven's family while the boys were at priesthood session for General Conference. I fell in love with it again! There is something about Betty Hutton, also known as the Blond Bombshell in Hollywood, that makes me laugh. And to think this movie was made in the 50s. She is so spunky, yet she can be so elegant. She seems like she had such a great attitude towards life, which might have something to do with her comedian acts.

Many of you may know the song from Gatorade commercials that originally came from Annie Get Your Gun musical number Anything You Can Do.

Anyhow, although we have watched it twice in the past 5 days, I still love this movie and Betty Hutton. Pure talent!

    Abby, this is what the rest of the family saw at Pickleville Playhouse at the Sowards Family Reunion at Bear Lake in 2009 while you and Steven were driving from Rexburg and getting lost! I love it, too. Haven't seen the DVD, but I just love the storyline and the music. Cade actually sat through the first half without a peep at age, 20 months. If we would have had a bottle or snacks, he would have made it through the whole thing, I think. He loved the music, too. Thanks for stirring up fun memories!
