Rough Ride

Jada had a field trip today.
They went up to Strawberry to see the fish.
She rode in the back of the bus.
She puked on her friend.
Thank you nice Moms and bus driver who dealt with the mess.
Thank you nice friend who said "no big deal I've been puked on before."
She is now on the list to ride only in front.

Summertime for Luke

Bike Rides, big trucks, fast cars, speedy boats what more could a boy want!

He is my champion bike rider. He will ride for miles and loves dirt trails.
I worried in spring when he refused to get back on the bike saying " I lost my balance!" it took some gentle and not so gentle coaxing and then he was hooked.
He even upgraded to a bigger bike.

My Utah Girl

Jada came in 3rd in her age division!

Jada's summer has been full of
Boat rides, bike rides, beach days, her first race, and vacations.
She jumped off cliffs with Mia gave wake boarding a good try and kept up with the boys on her mountain bike.

Mia Summer Lovin!

The carefree days of summer are coming to an end.
We made the most of it.
Mia found a new love
Soaked up sun
Conquered cliffs
and became a good babysitter.

Trains Rock

So my friend called me two weeks ago to tell me about the library story time train day. I politely declined thinking of all the other things I had planned that day and of how horribly slow the Heber Creeper moves. The day of the ride came along and she just happened to have an extra ticket, the sun was shinning, and Luke looked like he needed something to do besides be my sidekick at work.
So we rode the train!
And look at Luke's hand ....
It rocked!
Thanks Monica and Ali for a fun day.

Birthday Bash

Jada turned 8!
It seems that Birthday celebrations drag on forever around here.
We had a family dinner on Tuesday then a Late Night friend party on Saturday and to wrap it up a extended family party on Sunday. Whew.... and we still have the baptism stuff coming up!
Oh well, any excuss to party right??

Bringing in Spring

We have been busy!
Birthday Celebrations, book reports, piano festival, vacation time have all come and gone and I haven't been a very good blogger. I can blame it on my camera but all I need to do to fix that is get a new flash battery. (I've needed one for almost a year)
I've come to terms that I'm more of a enjoy it and make a mental image type person rather than document everything with photos. But.... the kids love the pictures so I will try to be better and maybe next week I'll get a new battery. Maybe.
