Pioneer Week

Spanish Fork has their "Rodeo Days" during the week of July 24th.
We go to the parade, spend to much money at the crappy carnival, but enjoy yummy funnel cake and then watch the awesome fireworks show with our neighbors.

MMMMMMM, I love summer!
I apologize for the lack of pictures - my excuse is 4 kids!

2 1/2 months later -- Sorry Sierra!

Sierra got a new bike

for her 7th birthday!

She also had a friend birthday party (I just love her reaction :)

with these ladies at "Build-A-Bear"

Your my one and only gorgeous daughter -- Love you Sierra!

My new favorite song!

Guilt Free

I finally am breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that I have caught up on my blogging. I can't promise you that I won't have another blogging drought, but I will try. Let's not forget that I am constantly surrounded by kids, until school starts!
Peace Out!

Oooops!

This is what happens when I am blogging and not paying attention to what Deacon has grabbed off the floor.

 

 

California Trip

More pictures at Disneyland are coming. They are on David's phone. Enjoy!

It's about time

 

Both of my children are lossing their teeth VERY late, but we were able to pull a few out in just one day! Chandler pulled out his own and Sierra needed help. Yes there were tears and way to much drama, but we really need to catch up to the rest of the kids their age - gees!
A couple days later, Chandler lost the other one on the other side, so that he only has his two front teeth. Busy time for the Tooth Fairy!

Dance Recital - 6/2/2010

 

I'm pretty sure she is the cutest thing EVER!

 

She performed 2 dances; "My Boyfirends' Back" & "Magic", and she did awesome! She even threw in some attitude while dancing. I loved it!

 

Daddy enjoyed it too! Good job Sierra Grace!

Another Pine Wood Derby

 

Chandler watching his car race.

 

He named his car "The Breeze" and it had a 9 on it -- for Drew Breeze (quarterback to the N.O. Saints).

 

What a bunch of goobers:)

Sisters

 

I love these two girls! I wish we all lived a little closer, so that we could lean on each other more. Maybe someday!

Love you Pops

 

My sweet Papa died on Monday, May 24th, 2010. He was 85 years old.
I miss him, my kids miss him, but he is with my Nana now and that makes me smile.
Love you Papa!

Visitors

In late February we had the pleasure of having our friends from Tucson, AZ come and visit for a few days. Pam, Shea and Colby enjoyed sledding for sure, as did my kids and David too! It was exhausting, and our weekend was busy, but we loved that they came to visit and hang out with us.
We miss you guys! Keep in touch :)

 

 

 

Really?

 

That's right, I buy jeans for my kids and this is how they repay me. No matter what brand, no matter what they are doing, this is what their jeans look like by mid March. My kids end up looking a tad homeless, but my March/April whose investing in more jeans.
I need someone to produce a industrial kid-strength pair of jeans, so that I don't have to keep buying them, ALL the time!

Double Trouble

Julia Child

 

While in Virginia, we visited the Museum of Natural History and this kitchen was there -- Julia Childs' kitchen!
I had just seen the movie about her a few weeks prior to seeing this, so it got me all excited!

My Nana was a wonderful cook as well, so maybe that's why I am a tad facinated by her.
