Sydnie needs a couple of pats on her back...here's a shout out to her! She has been working so hard on a few things and has been doing a great job. For cheer, she set a goal to get a solid standing tuck and a cartwheel tuck. So she went out in the front lawn for weeks and practiced them over and over until she got em without even thinking about it. I am so proud of her for trying so hard, she worked on it for so many weeks, that our lawn is even wore out because she kept doing it in the same exact spot. Another thing that she is doing so good in is piano, I can't believe how amazing she is becoming! She played all summer long and now that September is here, she has started in with a new teacher and I think that she will love her and I think that this teacher will be able to help Syd find out how good she can be. I am excited for her! Sydnie is doing great in school and is trying hard there too! She is a hard worker and really, a lot is expected sometimes it seems. She is always so busy. Here are some pictures of Sydnie at Legacy at their first home volleyball game. Legacy vs. Westpoint.
Wow, what a birthday week I have had! I have a great family and great friends that have celebrated with me for a whole week and it has been a lot of fun. I am so lucky...Lucky to have a great husband that I love and 4 wonderful kids that make me laugh and make me so happy and wonderful friends that I couldn't live without. Turning 40 isn't so bad after all. Steve and Kim planned a surprise birthday party for me and they actually surprised me! Kim said that she planned it weeks ago and not of word of it leaked out. I couldn't believe that no one slipped! It was a fun night (I hate to be the center of attention, so the intitial surprise was a little awkward) but other than that, the night was fantastic. 
AAAHHH...Oh I love to go to Bear Lake. We go up every year in September with Steve's family and we stay in the condos up there. We play games, swim, golf, play on the beach and a lot of other things, but best of all...we all just get to relax! This year was a lot of fun and everyone was able to be there. Grandma and Grandpa, Greg and Paige, Us, Ben's family and Jennifer. We all have fun together and we laugh...Ben and Steve put on a comedy show for everyone...Lyndsie even played the guitar for us a little...and Kale made us laugh too ( his voice is sooo funny!) We all love to go to Bear Lake, it is a trip we look forward to every year!
