Hair Coloring

Jessica has been staying at our house for over a week and her plans are to move in with us permanently, I will update in a later post...YIPPI!!! So, I do not have a 14 year old girl in the house, mine are all younger. So, it's pretty cool to see the things a older young your lady enjoys. Today was the 1st time I ever helped color hair. I know, I'm old school but I don't color my hair either. How would I know?? So I lent a helping hand squirting the coloring solution in her hair.....it turned out so well and she is just a beautiful young lady and we are so lucky to have her in our house.

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July at Little Sahara Sand Dunes. We camped at a different location this time. It was so nice and had running toilets OH'MY! The kids had such a great time riding and our friends the Myers joined us too. We love the Sand Dunes. In early July is usually the last time we go for a while cause it gets so dang hot!!

Touch-Down TIME #26

This is my favorite time of the year when I get to see my son play football. I'm such a proud mom. Jonathan is a sophomore @ Timpview HS. His position is Running back, he has picked to play JV this year. His jersey number is 26- I have posted some pictures from Price Camp where they had a scrimmage against Bingham HS. Jonathan made a TOUCHDOWN!!

Pioneer Weekend

WOW, what a weekend full of a great family and wonderful friends! We started off the weekend by boating at Deer Lake most of the day. Justin, Sara, Britin, Becky(Sara's sister) Andrew(D's hubby) Deborah(LCC office mngr) Jessica and all my kids! We had a blast boating! After we finished up boating we headed to Heber, for the night, with our friends Andrew and Deborah. They have a beautiful cabin!! WOW, it reminded Eric and I how bad we want a cabin. We BBQ'ed hamburgers and then headed to the Heber demolition derby. OMG, I LOVED it! This was so much fun and can't wait to do it again. Thanks Andrew and D for a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday ERIC!!

This year I had a secrete birthday present for Eric. I planned a skydiving jump! I knew he would absolutely LOVE it! We drove to the Ogden Airport on Sunday and he got suited up and jumped out of the airplane going over 200 mph down!! EWWWW, No thanks!!

To my good friend Melody and CONGRATS RICKY!

This is a tribute to one of my bestest friends, Melody! She hired me @ Hansen's, in San Diego and she was the manager over the payroll dept. She basically taught me everything I know and I tribute all my work success to her. I have known her for over 8 years and she has truly inspired me. She has a very kind spirit and see good in all things. What a wonderful mentor and friend she has been over the years! We continue to stay in touch often but not as often as I would like.

I would also to say CONGRATS to her son Ricky who graduated high school last week. WAY TO GO RICKY! May you be great in ALL that you do!!

I love you Mel!!





mel and her honey!

Friend Reunion

While we were in California I met up with my friend Maria, I've known her since the 7th grade and we still keep in contact and I also met up with my friend Erika and I've known her since the 6th grade. Erika and I lost contact for many years and she found me on facebook this year. We ate at at Pompeii's in Valinda, the town I grew up in. It was so nice to see them both and there families too. They still look amazing! My Uncle Johnny and Aunt Virginia, my sister and her BF, and my mom and dad all came with us too.

California Adventure 2009

We went to California for our summer vacation! Since football practices will be starting, we had to take a trip early. We went to Disneyland, Cali Adventure and San Diego this trip. We hung out with the Myer's at Disneyland for a few days. We had a ton of fun! Here are many pictures from our trip!

~~Britin~~

Britin will be 2 years old this Dec.......Gosh, he is getting so big too fast. He is such a cool little dude!! He is adorable and we love when he comes over to play. The girls just eat him up and we all have to fight over him......He loves any kind of balls, I bet he will be very active in sports!! I wanted to show Britin off a bit....................

Happy Graduation-JADA

My little baby is growing up so fast, she just graduated pre-school and will start Kindergarten in August... I'm so excited about her growing up but I'm so sad too....... I love you Jada and we are all so proud of you and all that you have learned and accomplished @ Kinderland.

UVU Car Show @ Thanksgiving Point

Eric entered 6 or 7 cars in the annual Thanksgiving Point UVU car show. There were so many cars there, I would say over 1500 cars......He WON 2 AWARDS for the cars he had entered. He won a Jacket award for the blue Camero and he won a plaque for the silver Camero. WOW, that's amazing. WAY TO GO ERIC!! I'm so proud of him and the amazing talent he has.
Here are some pictures...........Pictures never do justice though.

Happy Birthday Shaun!!

We went out to dinner @ Tucano's for Shaun's birthday. Most of you know that Shaun is Alyssa's (Eric's oldest daughters) husband. We had a lot of fun and laughter and of course the darn yummy food. This would be the 1st birthday that we were able to spend with Shaun and I hope we will celebrate many more of his birthdays in the future!

Happy Birthday Shaun, We hope you had a great day!

Shaun is dancing to the "Happy Birthday" song that Tucano's sung to him! :)

Fun in the Sun, Finally!!

This past weekend, the girls wanted to put the sprinkler's on and jump on the trampoline in their swim suites........I thought it was a chilly 70 degrees but that didn't stop the girls.

Craft Night......

I bought these really cool stepping stones for the pond area and the great thing about them is that the kids get to Decorate them, anyway they want to! Eric mixed the cement, cause you do not want the kids playing with that, and I watched over them and snapped pictures as they created there very own stone.

This was a lot of fun for the kids and us too! :)
