THANKSGIVING


Playing Wii and with them all playing, it got tense and really loud!


Plum tuckered out























I love Thanksgiving! I love being all together and I love the food. (especially moms-and gramma's fruit salad)







Brannon came down from BYU and spent the wknd with us. We had a good time!

EMS IS HOME




Ems is home. Her roommate decided that she didn't like living in Salt Lake anymore and wanted to move home. The contract was in her name so that meant that Ems wouldn't have a place to live after the contract sold. She was sad and a little mad, but I think it will be good in the long run. It will give Ems the opportunity to pay off her car sooner. She will try to get a job a little closer to home. She wants to get on at McKaydee hospital and then go to Weber. I think she learned a lot in the short time she was away. I love my Ems!

SAIDIE HAWKINS DANCE

Lyssi went to the Saidie's Dance for Syracuse High. They had a lot of fun! Her and her friends had a progressive dinner. They ate salad at Sara's, pizza at our house and dessert at Taylors. They all looked so cute. They went to a motuary after the dance. Sara's brother lives at the mortuary in Ogden. He took them into the embalming room and they saw a few dead people. She said it was cool and a little creepy. She had a good time with her friends!

Ems Apartment

This is Ems apartment. She shares it with her friend Staci and another girl. It is so cute! I love it! It was so hard for me to let her go. She is only about 40 minutes away but she's not home. I hate locking the door at night w/her not here. But, she needs to spread her wings...so they say. She is working and loving it and going to school. I am so proud of her and how responsible she is. She is an angel and will always be my baby!

4TH OF JULY!




We went to the fireworks in Layton. It was fun! I love watching all of the people. It was packed, just like it always is. But, that makes it fun! It was nice to have all four girls with us. It's so hard with all of their work schedules. It was fun. Lyssi brought Justin and Ems brought Staci. My mom, dad, Shelly & Kasey came. Clint and Mindy came later just in time for the fireworks to start. Justin went and got a football and we played. I didn't realize how good of a tackler I am. I had Lyssi scared! It was fun just hanging out with all of us!










































































GOD BLESS AMERICA!

West Point days is always the 3rd of July. It is so much fun. I love it! I grew up in a small town and this has that small town feel. Just homey! All our friends and neighbors are there. There is lots of facepainting, rockwall climbing, live bands, dinner, fireworks and then a movie. All in the park and all free. It so nice to live in such a wonderful community! I love it! This is the one day of the year that Brennan will wear matching shirts. He thinks he's too cool but really~us girls are the cool ones!




































HALEY'S EYEBROWS!


Haley has the most amazing eyebrows. In the winter, they are dark, just like her eye lashes. But around track season they begin to change. By summer, they are a firey red! It has so many colors in them. I love it. I tease her and tell her that her kids will all be redheads and when they ask where they get their red hair, Haley will tell them they get it from her eyebrows! I love em!

LOREN LOVES SOFTBALL

Loren had a fun softball season! She is a lefty just like Ems. She batted so good and hard. Lyssi took her to the batting cages and taught her. It was fun watching her play!



Haley and I are under the umbrella because it is blowing dirt everywhere and starting to rain. The wind ended up braking our umbrella!



The happy team. They won! If they win the championship game they will take 1st, if they lose they will take 2nd. Not too bad!




Gramma came to watch her baby play!


So proud of Loren! She played hard! We love SOFTBALL!
