Austin's 6th Birthday

Today is Austin's 6th birthday.  He wanted waffles with whipped cream for his birthday breakfast so that's what he got.  And what 6-year old can eat whipped cream without getting it all over his face?  Where's the fun in that?

Tonight we celebrated with family.  This is his birthday crown he got from school and was so proud to wear it all day!

Of course he got clothes!

He wanted a radio for his room

So excited about his new LEGO Batman game!

He's been playing basketball so he got some cones to do practice drills with.

Then he also wanted a fuzzy blanket just like everyone else in the family has.  

I think this was his favorite gift...Pokemon cards!

He got another castle to go with his other one.

He loves this jacket.  He also loves ninjas...two birds, one stone!

He had a basketball cake.  It turned out pretty cute!

Make a wish buddy but just don't grow up too fast...please!

Park City with the Girls!

Every year my friends and I have a big party in a condo in Park City where we eat and play and shop.

This year it was September 12th-14th.  We start out in Farmington Station then make our way up to Park City.

At the condo we went down to the pool but were only there for 20 minutes.  Then we came back up and found this enormous tub.  Can  you believe it fit four of us?!!  Check these out!

Yeah, that was totally possible...but not easy!

Jami makes friends with everybody!

This is how we shop!  We're actually looking for coupons for the outlets!

This is a throwback to when we were little.  We would always walk to 7-11 and get candy cigarettes.  

Great times...every year!!!

Ogden Temple Open House

On September 6th we had the chance to walk through the newly renovated Ogden Temple.  It was beautiful and we were so excited to have it back.  It's been a long time and we've waited anxiously for it to open again.  I love to see the temple!!!

Kaylee's 13th Birthday

Well it's happened...I now have an official teenager...another one!  Heaven help me!!!

Isn't she cute though, especially while stuffing her mouth with a giant birthday donut?

She had a great day and got lots of fun stuff.

New clothes and shoes!

Of course $$$ is a great present for a teenager!

Then for cake she wanted cheesecake.  She LOVES cheesecake!

Make a wish!

We love you baby girl!  Hope you had a great birthday!

First Day of School 2014

Today's the first day of school, oh my!

Shelby is in 11th grade at Syracuse High School this year.  She is going to be getting her CNA certificate while she's there to start her career in the medical field.  We're so proud of her!

Kaylee start junior high today.  She's in 7th grade at West Point Jr. High.  She's a little nervous and not sure she wants to go through with this moving on from elementary thing.  But we have faith in her and know she'll do a great job!

Carson is in 5th grade still at Lakeside.  Not too many changes yet for him so he's a pro at this.

Austin is the hardest one for me.  He starts kindergarten today.  I didn't think it would be that hard but knowing that this is the last child of mine that will have a first day of kindergarten is kind of tearing at my heart strings!  He's so big!!!

He didn't even want to hold my hand walking in to his classroom!  My heart broke just a little!

Christi's Wedding

On August 21st our good friend Christi got married.  She is so cute and it was so great to see this happy occasion!  Congratulations Christi and Jake!

This was at her reception.  We have such a great group of friends and I truly love them all!

They had a photo booth with dress-up stuff and lips and mustaches.  Christi and Jake were busy so we had a great time by ourselves!  I think we manipulated that photo booth longer than the little kids did!  Who are we kidding...when we're together we act more like little kids than the little kids do!
