Fourth of July!!! My Favorite Holiday...

Another great fourth of July! We love this holiday and we have it down on how to celebrate. We seem to do the same thing every year. Lyndsie was in the Clearfield parade, so we went there first and sat by Kim and her family. This is where we sit every year. Donna and Mike were there along with Chad and Teresa. When Lyndsie had gone by, we left that parade and hurried over to the Layton parade because Sydnie was in that one. They both did a great job. Sydnie's hands look like they hurt though from doing all of the tumbling on the asphalt! Ouch. After the parade, we have a BBQ on the side of our house by the Larsen's home. Brad and Kim, Donna and Dewey, and us all meet to enjoy each other's company. All of the kids play and have a great time. When we are all stuffed, we head on over to the Clearfield fireworks. It was a great day and I enjoy it each year!

Last Day of School

Well...Sam is done with first grade and Brin is done with fifth grade. It has been a great year for both of them. I didn't get pictures of Brinley, I thought that maybe I would embarrass her if I tried. But I did get some great ones of Sam. Mrs. Thomas was having everyone involved in a great big group hug. Sam had a great teacher and some really fun friends in his class this year... And same with Brinley.

She did it again!!!

She did it again, but this time something unexpected happened and she did not know what to do! Roxy got into the garbage again and when Lyndsie got downstairs to see what was going on...this is what she found! Roxy had stuck her head into a Corn Pops box and got her head stuck in the bag that goes inside of the box. After she got her head stuck, she was walking around and running into things. Lyndsie could not believe her and so she took some pictures of this naughty dog!!

Presidential Award

Brinley recieved the Presidential Award at school. There were only 17 students that earned this award in the entire 5th grade. Wow, way to go Brinley...you're amazing!!

Heritage Days 2009

Heritage Days Parade...

After the parade, we had a soccer game to go to in Roy. Brinley was asked to be a guest player on the U12 boys team for the Rampage Tournament. Today was her last game and she was so nervous because the team that they were playing today, she played last thursday and they were mean players. They were fouling hard and slide tackling. She went out there and played her hardest...she did so good. Towards the end of the game, Brin was fouled so hard that her feet were taken out from under her and she was vertical in the air. but We had a surprise show up at the soccer game...Tina and Ed and the girls came to watch Brinley play. How nice is that? I loved seeing them again.

Fireworks at the end of the day at Jensen Park...

Wow, this has been an incredibly long day!

Wow...what a weekend

I was pretty lucky this weekend...not only did I have one long distance friend visit, I had two! Both Mindy and Tina were in town this weekend and we had us some fun!!! Mindy and I spent the day on Thursday together, laughing and getting caught up on each others lives. Mindy also brought Jordan with her so Brinley had a great time too. On Friday, Tina and Ed and their family came to spend friday with us. Steve took off work and we had a super fun time. Tina is so fun and I don't get to see them as much as I get to see Mindy. Tina and Ed show up and it is like we just saw them last week. Everyone had so much fun, we talked for hours, went out to dinner, ahd some yummy banana splits and the kids played and played and played. Tina and Ed are doing good and I loved the time that we spent together!
