Cole's 5th Birthday

Cole was so excited for his birthday, and so am I. I am hoping 5 yrs old brings a new stage. Hopefully a better stage. Although he drives me crazy most days he was so good on his birthday.

Park City

Oops. This is out of order. We have a timeshare in Park City and so we took the kids up in May for a week. Its nice that it was close enough Jer could come down and work a little still. The kids and I just played at the swimming pool the whole time. We practically had the pool to ourselves.

4th of July

The 4th was a weird weekend since it was on a Sunday. Here is the traditional parade we have the Telfords. Adelyn had ripped all her decor off before the parade even started. Oh well.

Daddy helping Adi she was too slow.

St. George

Jeremy and I went to St. George for a couple days with some friends,without kids. Woo hoo!! It was a blast. Its always nice to have no responsibilites but yourself for a couple days. Our friends let us stay in their condo so that is always great cause we didnt have to pay to stay. We did go Mesquite the first night because the hotel are so cheap and it had a great pool. So we played at the pool the first day and then headed up to St. George. We went to Tarzan at the Tuachan,golfed, shopped, and played games. I was excited to see my kids when I got home.:)

Enjoying the pool. Sorry no swimsuit shots, thats just not me :)

Waiting for the show to start

The incredible scenery behind the stage. They used the waterfall at the beginning of the show and tarzan came flying in from the rocks at one point too.

My Lehi Float

I have already posted these on Facebook but I am trying to do some journaling here, so here we go again. I was in charge of the float for our ward for the Lehi Round Up Parade. It was a ton of work but fun and it paid off when I won first place. I would like to note this was out of probably 40ish floats.I also had some amazing people to help me.

Denver Zoo

As I mentioned before we went to the Denver Zoo while we were visiting Denver. Here are some pics of the adventure.

Tennis

My sister bought me a ticket to go to California with her for her birthday. I know what a great sister. We both love tennis, and we went and saw a tennis tournament in Palm Springs. Most of the big names were there and we got sit pretty close at some of the matches. You could also watch them practice and sit very close. It was really cool. Sorry if you're not into tennis, you probably won't know who any of these people are. The first picture is the best match we got to see. It was a doubles match roddick/blake vs. murray/hutchins. Andy Roddick is my favorite tennis player and I love James Blake although Blake is starting to fade fast. They won and we were able to sit so close.

Andy Roddick.

Roddick serving. Its the most incredible thing you've ever seen.

Maria Sharapova, she is just practicing here and didn't play well this tourn.

Jelena Jankovic.

Rafa Nadal #1 in the world. He was very fun to watch play. I became a bigger fan.

Andy Murray. I'm not really a fan but we got to watch him practice and we were literally sitting on the side of the court watching. Its amazing how hard they hit the ball.

Tsonga another person I'm not really a fan of but he stood right next to me. cool anyway.

Mackenzie's 7th Bday

Yes I'm very far behind blah blah blah. But I will pick up from where I left off. Mackenzie turned 7 back in May. We had a fun friend party the day before and then on her birthday we drove to Denver for a friends wedding. My sister lives there so it was a good treat for my kids to visit. I drove with the kids all by myself and surprisingly they did very well all the way there.
Opening presents

The cake. Kenz wanted a Star Wars cake. This isn't a very good showing from me in the cake department but she liked it anyway.(She told me I was an artist, yeah right but thanks kenz) If you can't tell its supposed to be a light saber.

That night she got a scooter from mom and dad.

Bowling

Most of you are probably sick of hearing about this but Jeremy and are starting a bowling league. We still need 1 or 2 teams. The league is only for the summer and about 12 weeks long on Thurs nights. The cost is 14$ per week per bowler. I know that sounds a little pricey but you will bowl 3 games that night and then you will get 6 free games to use during the week. We are trying to work it out with the bowling alley that you and your kids can use the free games. It doesn't matter if you have never bowled in a league almost everyone that is already in the league has never bowled before. There are lots of beginners. Plus everyone has a handicap so everyone starts out equal in score. It is going to be a blast and there is already some really fun people in the league. The teams are 4 person and mix teams, so you can bowl with a group of girlfriends or couples it doesn't matter. Kids are definitely welcome. Most of us will be bringing them along!

Float Time

Yes its that time of year. For some reason I was asked to be in charge of the float this year for the Lehi Round up Parade. I don't feel like I am very creative so I am reaching out to my neighbors(or any friends) for some help. The theme for this year is "Guess What I Saw....." we have to add our own ending to that and make the float. So I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks I appreciate it!!

Adelyn Bday Video

I dont know why they camera was so blurry but thought this was cute!

Adelyns 2nd Birthday

My babys 2nd birthday. I can't believe shes already 2. She is such a little sweetheart. She entertained us all for her birthday. She just got up from her nap. She wanted everything out of the package as soon as she opened it.

Christmas

Well I havent even picked up my camera since Christmas. So I decided to get all the pics off and realized we took video of most of our Christmas. So I don't have many pictures. It was a really busy couple of days. My sister came into town which is always fun to see her. I had to work Christmas Eve. (stupid kohl's) I didnt get so spend much of the evening with my kids which is really crappy on Christmas. I hope I am not still there next Christmas. Hopefully we wont lose our job this year. 3rd years a charm I hope. We went bowling with most of the family. That was fun too. We had a progressive dinner with my family on Christmas Day evening. Then the day after Christmas I had to go to work again. Yuck! Well all in all it was a good Christmas.

Mackenzie showing off her princess leia dress(she asked for this a week before Christmas. Its the only thing she asked for. So Santa was making a dress on Christmas Eve at 10pm. I had to work the whole week of Christmas a lot too.

Cole and his Transformer Car

Adelyn with Wow Wow Wubzzy. Its her favorite cartoon.

My house was the first house in the progressive dinner. This is an awful picture but I thought it was really funny. Its obvious my mom made us take the picture. Everyone looks less than thrilled.
