Miley Cyrus

Last night we got to go to the Miley Cyrus concert. It was Carli's first time to a concert, and at then end of the night she said, "This was the best day of my life!"

She was dancing, singing, all night long!

I really like Miley but she looked sick and part way through the second song she walked off stage, then an announcer came on and said she has the flu. She ended up finishing the concert. Even though she was sick it was still really fun.

Labor Day Weekend!

For Labor Day Weekend we went to the sand dunes. It is one of my favorite places in the world. We went with a few of Trevor's cousins and had a great time. The kids drove their bikes around non stop. I even made it up sand mountain which is the big tall mountain in the background.

My favorite part is cooking in the trailer. It's much more fun and food tastes better when your camping. It's fun to be in the middle of the desert and pull out enchiladas in the oven, or eat an ice cream sandwich.

Azzie had a great time scooting around in the sand. She slept very well and was happy going the whole time!

No injuries, no break downs, we had a great trip!

Let the season begin!

After years of waiting, his lifelong dream has come true. Kaden is a starting runningback for the Kearns Pee Wees
in a real game starting Saturday! He loves it.

Practicing almost every day since July.

Blocking as a cornerback on defense

This is my little man in the middle being tackled! I am always a little nervous.

GO K...E...A...R...N...S COUGARS!

Park City Getaway

My parents invited me to hang out with them at their park city condo. We had a great time going down the alpine slide, alpine coaster, shopping at the outlets, and swimming. Thanks mom & dad!

It was pretty up there.

Carli was a little scared, but once we went down she wanted to go again!

We went to the olympic park

Also did some ice skating this month at thy Kearns Ice Rink

Football, Football, and more Football

So Kaden has been begging me for years to do tackle football. I made him do flag for the last two years. I saved up some money and finally signed him up. He is on the 10 year old team for Kearns. Practice is for 2 and 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week! Games start later this month so I can't go camping or really go anywhere. They practice very hard and it feels like sometimes I signed him up for the NFL not little league but he still loves it!

Here is also his second favorite thing KAYLEE! I have had to put text blocks on and keep telling him he is to young but that only goes so far. This was the day we went to her house for a BBQ and she did her hair all cute for him!

Pioneer Day

For Pioneer day Trevor had to work and my kids were at their dads so I though it was going to be a slow day.

My Aunt Dianne & Mother in law wanted to see the big parade downtown so I joined them. it was hot but we had a great time.

My favorite part was when the radio station announced they had a few free tickets to the rodeo!

I ran as fast as I could to get some. We took the all the kids the next day and had a blast. My dream is to be a barrell racer one day!

Carli's Babtism

Carli turned 8 and was baptized!

It was such a neat experience.

Build a Bear & Gateway

We got invited to a build-a-bear birthday party! Thanks Riley. Carli had such a blast!



Pick a bear, stuff a bear, sew a bear, fluff a bear, wish for the bear, and keep the bear promise!



I think the bear is as big as Azzie is!

Enjoying the fountais at the gateway!

Happy 4th of July!

Parade, Rodeo, Fireworks!

Azzie's cute red, white, & blue dress Grandma Jensen made her!

They threw lots of candy from the floats!

Enjoying the bit'n'spur rodeo in Tooele

They didn't stay on long! My favorite part was watching the girls do the barrel racing.

Fireworks at home!

One of the best parts of the Parade is that Trevor's uncle was supposed to be the Grand Marshall of the parade! He passed away a few months ago so here is Aunt Sherry. They also rode Uncle Phil's horse in the parade. It was a neat experience.

Also our nephew Jonah is in the Toeele Jr Band. Go Jonah!

Birthdays!

So my little girl turned 1 on Friday, Kaden turns 10 Sunday, and Carli will be 8 on July 5th. Friday Azzie's picture was on Good Things Utah. Then we had a friend party that night for Kaden. We had about 7 boys sleep over. Thank goodness the went to bed early and they were quiet.

Kaden got money to help pay for tackle football, Carli got a Bratz Cowgirl stable/horse and tickets to the Miley Cyrus concert, Azzie got a bus and baby doll that crawls and lots more!

Azzie enjoying her cake!

On Saturday we had a BBQ with all of our friends and family. The kids got to open presents, we had a pinata, and then later we went to the Taylorsville Dayzz Neil Diamond Tribute/Fireworks show which was awesome!

Jay White singing at T-ville Dayzz

Playing with the cousins!

I love the Taylorsville Fireworks!

We had a great time hanging out with everyone.

Friend BBQ

I got a chance to have all of my friends from elementary/jr high over for a BBQ at my house. It was great to see everyone and reminded me of what a great childhood I had. Thanks to all of my great friends for coming!

Lagoon

We had a great time at Lagoon for Trevor's work party. Kaden was brave enough to go on all the rides! He went on the Samarai, Wicked, and the Rocket and loved getting soaked in the water fountains!

This year I wanted Carli to go on the colossus but as she was hanging onto a post for dear life and tears were streaming down her face, I couldn't force her. She is such a chicken.

Azzie got to go on the merry-go-round and the train ride!

We had a great time and the weather was awesome.

My New Ride!

So years ago I made fun of my friend Dee for driving a minivan. Boy am I eating my words now! I finally gave in and got one. I said I would never drive a minivan. So with having three kids and (the two older ones that constantly hit and scream), and watching two other kids during the week I needed something cheap and that seated 7. With the gas prices going up and up I decided not to get that SUV. Kaden is now a mear 8 feet from my ear instead of 1. They each have there own row. I actually like my new car.

RESPECT THE VAN!!!!
