Kaylee's Jr. High Musical

 This year West Point Jr. High did High School Musical for their school musical.  Kaylee was all gung-ho about trying out for it until the day came for tryouts.  She wanted to back out but I wouldn't let her.  She is so painfully shy in front of people when she has to talk or speak by herself for a serious reason.  If she's just there or with friends she's as goofy as can be even if there are other people around.  But she followed through with it as hard as it was for her and I was so proud of her.  She got in the chorus and had a great time performing...the rehearsals were another story.  But she did it and that's what's important!  Great job Kaylee!!!

Carson's Arrow of Light

This year Curt has been Carson's Webelos leader.  He has done a great job.  He got all the boys their Webelos awards within their first three months then they all worked on their Arrows of Light.  Carson, we're so proud of you and all that you do.  Congratulations!

Say Hello to the Car...Now Say Goodbye...Now Say Hello...Now Say Goodbye!

So Shelby had her license for a whole three weeks before this happened.  To be fair, it wasn't her fault.  She was in rush hour traffic and traffic was stopping and the lady behind her hit her which pushed her into the truck in front of her.  The truck had a big trailer hitch which did all the damage to the front of her car.  The back was fine and the other people's cars were fine but her's ended up being totaled!

So we started looking for another car.  This is what we found.  It wasn't as good as the last one but it gets her around.  She's happy to have a car again since it took us about a month to find one worth the money they were asking.  We still wish we had the other car.

Then later in the year we had to say goodbye to our trusted friend, the Tracker.  It has been with us for 13 years and has finally given up the ghost and we don't want to put the money into it to revive it.  Some family members were very distraught to have to say goodbye to this loyal automobile but it had to be done.  Sometimes we just have to say goodbye!

Halloween 2014

Here's the pictures from our annual Nye Family Halloween Dinner.  This year it was on October 26th.

Can you see Carter's face (just inside the door)?  Brian and Tre are twins this year!

Witches Brew!

I only caught Austin swinging at the pinata.  He did really well.  Thank goodness Grandma and Grandpa got two pinatas; one for the littles and one for the bigs!  They love the pinatas and it becomes a contest each year of who's the strongest and will break open the pinata!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Nye!!!

Autumn Fun

Every year we go to Black Island Farms.  This year we got tickets to go with the rest of Curt's family.  Unfortunately we had to go earlier and leave earlier than the rest of them.  Carson had a basketball game and Shelby had to work.  But Kaylee and Austin got to stay and have fun with the rest of the cousins.  We got our pumpkins and did some corn mazes and did all of the slides that they have.  Look at how cute Austin is with Peyton!

Cute Cousins!

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!!!
