BEAR LAKE 2008!

We just got back from Bear Lake and the kids had a blast! We left on Thursday and got back on Sunday. It was nice to relax. Daison took the kids fishing one night, they didn't catch anything, but Adyson told him that he needed to take untangling lessons because the fishing line kept getting tangled up. The kids were awesome. They never fought, and did exactly what they were asked to do. We ran across a couple of mermaids on the beach. It was unbelievable! They really are beautiful creatures! I think we are going to go back again.

THE JAZZ BEAR!!

We went and met the Jazz Bear last night! It was so much fun. My sister-in-law has started a dance studio up in Ogden and she had the Bear come for the fall sign-ups. She used to be a Jazz Dancer so she has connections. I thought my kids would have a ball meeting the Bear. He is pretty fun. I also had to get a picture of my brother working at the hot dog stand that they had there.

Adyson's Baptism

Adyson was baptized on July 5, 2008. It was the best day! I am so proud of her for choosing to be baptized, and I know that she is a very good example to her brothers. It was a great feeling knowing that your child is on the right path for returning to her heavenly father. Of course I was crying like a baby, but it is hard to watch your child grow up and start making decisions of their own. We found her dress at Little Things Mean A Lot and I tried to tell her we could look in a few stores for her dress, but she wanted this one. When we got home she told me that she liked this dress because it had a lot of beads on it and there were tons of buttons down the back. She was really cute that morning we got her she put her dress on and when she started walking down the stairs she started humming "Here comes the bride"! It was so funny. She thinks her dress looks like a wedding dress. All I can say is she is exactly like me! I have a feeling her wedding dress and wedding are going to be really expensive. Oh well I told her she can't get married until she's 30, we'll see how long that lasts.

Spring Has Officially Sprung!!

I know for sure that spring is here. We signed Adyson, Gavin and Braiden up to play soccer again, and my life just got totally hectic. As most of you know Adyson is taking Ballet. She has class 2 times a week and then they have recitals 2 times a year. It is now time for their Spring Recital and not only does she have class, but on top of that we now have to add 1-2 more classes for the rehearsals. And now we have soccer on top of that. We get to do the ultimate juggling act. Now we will have ballet 2-4 times a week, Soccer practice for all three of the kids, we don't know exactly which days those will be on, and Saturday mornings we will have Soccer games. When I say Saturday morning, I pretty much mean from 9:00 to about 12:00 or 1:00 Saturday morning. Last year there were quite a few games that Adyson and Braiden played at the same time. So Daison and I would each watch one of them and at half time we would switch. From the look of it, this year is going to be the same. I love Spring because it finally warms up, okay maybe not this Spring, but usually. However I have officially turned into the true SOCCER MOM!!! (Boy I hope I can survive this one.)

DISNEYLAND!!

We were able to take the kids to Disneyland. It was so awesome! We were there for 3 days. I think Daison would say we were there too long, but I think we weren't there long enough. The kids loved it. I can't wait until we go back again. Hopefully soon!!

Gavin becomes a Jedi

Gavin was trained to be a Jedi. He had a ball! He was so serious and listened really well to the teachers. He fought Darth Vader, and he wasn't even scared. I thought he would take off running, but he didn't. He received a certificate after he fought Darth Vader. It was so neat to watch him.

We had to get a picture in front of the "A" at California Adventure. You know "A" for Adyson, at least that is what we told her.

MEDIEVAL TIMES

Everytime we go to Disneyland we go to Medieval Times. It is the best thing to watch. The kids love how they get to see the Knights fight. They ride horses and duel each other. While you are eating dinner you cheer for your color of Knight. It seems that everytime we go we are always in the Blue section cheering for the Blue Knight. And the Blue Knight usually wins, however this time the Yellow Knight won, so my kids were kind of bummed about that. But in the end they had a blast!

THE BEACH!!

We went to the beach for the kids. It was cold for a while, and then it warmed up a bit. We were able to watch a lot of people surfing. It was pretty fun!
