The First Day of School

So the first day of school is always so great and so sad at the same time. This year even Payton is in a preschool where she goes 4 days a week for three hours a day. Jaxson started 4th grade this year and Izak is in 2nd. I can not believe that my kids are getting so old. (or that I am getting that old...SAD!) I have the best kids in the world! I am so lucky! Hope that it is the best year ever...and wish me luck with keeping up with all the homework.

So you think you can dance

Since the boys were at school today and it was just us girls...we decided to go to Olive Garden for lunch to celebrate. While we were waiting for a table guess who walked in??? Brandon from so you think you can dance. I loved him and never missed watching the show. So you can image how stupid and star struck I acted. I am pretty sure that he was scared of me. I told him that I loved him and that his solo that he did in those little (LITTLE) black shorts I watched about 20 times. The rewind button was my best friend. He was so so nice. Yeah first day of school and yeah Olive Garden. It was the best first day of school ever!!!!

Another Day Another Lake!

It seems like this summer we are spending a lot of time at the lake. We have a had a very fun summer. This one is at Deer Creek which is such a beautiful lake. On the way driving up the canyon Payton said "guys look at those beautiful mountains" She is always the one to notice the little things. I am so bad at wakeboarding but I am getting better. My boys are a little scared too but they are getting more daring. Payton is just happy to swim in the lake. And i Jared is just like a little kid on Christmas morning when we are at the lake. There is no where else he would rather be! We are very lucky to be able to do so many fun things!!!

What could be better than a day at the lake????

Wicked!

So over the weekend we had a girls weekend...and went to Phoenix to see Wicked! It was so so so so so HOT there. There were having record heat when we were there.
Here we are just getting ready to go in and get our seats. Sherry who is standing next to me is the funniest person ever and we had so much fun together. We joked all weekend that the next trip we are going to Vegas to see the Thunder Down Under...and I am a little nervous that she might actually be serious! (Ha Ha)

Sometimes before the entertainment starts you need to find a way to entertain yourself.

This is me and my cute niece Aleia.

My sister Amy (Aleia's mom) and Aleia

Me, my Mom, and my sister Amy at this Mexican Cantina that was so fun and so so good. I am not a big Mexican food fan but I definitely want to go back here. We had these burritos that were amazing!

I love girls weekend. One of the best parts was just sleeping in and only worrying about myself. I adore my kids and hubby but every once in a while it is such a good break to get some alone time where no one is asking for anything. You don't have to worry if someone is fed, dressed, brushed their teeth, or wandering off somewhere. At the pool I got to lay out (which never happens anymore) I read a book and slept past 7.

The play was so good. This was our second time seeing it. We went to Phoenix last year and saw it. It is one of my favorites! I have to say that the cast the first time we say it was a little better but it was still GREAT!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Last night Jared's football team (The Wasatch Revolution) played in the RMFL Championship game and won! They have a good time playing and had a good season. Congrats Jared and the Revolution!!!
