Picture Tag!!..

Thanks to Misty, I have been picture tagged. This is a picture of me in labor with Brock. I had just gotten my epidural and was probably feeling pretty good by now. He was born on May 2, 2006 at American Fork Hospital and delivered by his dad with very little assistance (thanks to Dr. Jones). I guess I have to pick four people so here goes it...Tracy B., Chelsey M., Kensley C. (even though nobody will see it because she WENT PRIVATE!!), and Becky S...have fun!!

Boys and their sports...

Jason and I took the kids to a Real Salt Lake soccer game on Saturday night. I was really dragging my feet and didn't want to go. Jason told me to get my jacket and my shoes and that we were going as a family and that it was going to be fun. I tried really hard to get out of it, but I'm so glad he made me go. It was a blast and the kids seemed to really enjoy it also. Brock and Jason looked so cute with their hats both on backwards that I couldn't resist a picture. Brock was yelling "touchdown" and "football game" the whole time. He doesn't care as long as it involves a ball. They won 3-1 and are now eligible for the playoffs (I think). Anyway, it was fun...Go Real Salt Lake!!!

Girl's Night out to Tuachan

A much needed getaway without the little ones. Kerryann coordinated a quick trip to St. George and invited a bunch a people. Those of you that didn't come missed out. Only four of us ended up going, but it was perfect and such a blast. We left early Thursday morning, sat in the car in UEA traffic for over an hour before finally making our way out of town. We got to St. George and went to a "lookout" spot overlooking St. George, checked into our hotel, and then went to dinner at the Pasta Factory. After that we went to our "front row" seats (so we thought) that ended up being the very back row. They were still good seats and a great show (Les Miserables). We then went to Albertson's to get ice cream at midnight and stayed up visiting until 3:45 in the morning. Anyway, we ate breakfast Friday morning, shopped until lunch at Outback and then more shopping until finally at 6:00 we decided we should probably start making our way home. It was fast, but so much FUN!! Thanks Kerryann, Tracy, and Laurel...until next time!!!!

Happiest Place On Earth!!!...Disneyland Reunion

So after much anticipation and planning we pulled off a fun surprise for Allie and a family vacation at the same time. We have been planning for months with our good friends who now live in Arizona a trip to Disneyland. We kept it a secret from both girls (Allie and Haley) who knew they were going but not at the same time.
We arrived a day early to have a "family day." The kids were so excited and were so good. At the end of our first day there we headed back to our hotel. 10 minutes after we got into the hotel room Brock decided to run and jump on the couch and of course split his head open...I know BIG surprise. It bled like crazy and I thought for sure we were going to be on our way to Instacare somewhere in Anaheim. Anyway it bled really bad for about 5 minutes and then it slowed down enough to where I thought we would be okay just putting a bandaid on it. So in all the pictures, he has a nice bandaid on his forehead.
Monday was the big surprise day. We arranged for us to meet at the castle in Disneyland. The girls walked right past each other, obviously not thinking they would see anybody there that they knew. When they finally saw each other, Allie was completely in shock, she didn't even say anything at first, just stood there with her mouth open. Haley ran up to her and gave her a huge hug, it was so CUTE! These girls have missed each other to the point of tears and haven't seen each other since May 2. I think they held hands for the next 6 hours while walking around Disneyland. We spent Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs with our friends, had a lot of laughs and lots of cute pictures. The kids were all so good. We hit almost every ride between Disneyland and California Adventure. Allie's favorite rides were Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Grizzly Rapids, and Indiana Jones. Brock's favorite rides were the Chip and Dale roller coaster in Toon Town, the Rockets in Tomorrow land, Dumbo and Buzz Lightyear. I think they really loved all of them. Wednesday was our 10 year anniversary and Ken and Heather offered to take the kids and let us go to lunch at the Blue Bayou in Pirates of the Carribean. We had a good lunch and a nice (short) break from the kiddles. Anyway, we had a blast and can't wait and are already
planning next year's trip back.
