Glitter Gel Toes

Our first attempt at glitter gel toes. Not bad for the first time. My sister Stephanie choose the pale pink (which doesn't show up very well), mine are the red ones, and Jade's are the blue ones.

Snow

Snow before Kevin's birthday (which is tomorrow)! I still had a bunch of roses and huge tomatoes on the vine.

Madison's idea of a pet

Thank you for neighbors with pets. We don't have pets at our house but Madison loves the neighbor's dog. The main reason she likes it is because there is a fence between her and the dog. Harley is a good dog and lets Maddie pet him and try and feed him grass.

Family pictures with a 2 year old

We had family pictures yesterday. They went as expected. Madison was very difficult and the others did pretty well. So here are the results. Thanks Natalie Searle who was our photographer.

Pumpkin cookies

Madison's idea of helping me make pumpkin cookies for Young Women's. I think she got the
better end of the deal.

Savanah in action

Savanah is enjoying being a cheerleader. She practices hard and has got her backhand spring down. She is even developing the beginning of a sweet set of arm muscles.

Colten is loving soccer

Colten is doing well this year in soccer. His season is almost over and he surprised us with his unusual display of aggressiveness. He is so layed back so when he attacks the ball instead of backing off Kevin and I are always pleasantly surprised. Good job Colten.

Scrapbook Expo Weekend

Scrapbook weekend was successful. I got a lot of pages done and still found time to shop, chicken dance and do the mummy wrap. Now all I need is a nap, real food and another closet to store all my stuff.

Happy Anniversary

For our anniversary Kevin surprised me with a trip to New York. It was fun we love New York for visiting but wouldn't live there.



Every time we go we check on the progress at ground zero.




At the top of the Empire State Building looking in the mirror that goes around the outside.




Kevin has a thing for the NYPD and the NYFD.

Happy 10th Birthday Colten

Yesterday Colten was 10. He had a birthday party on Saturday. It was a loud rambunctious few hours. Being the only boy I think he loves this once a year party when we have a bunch of boys over.

County Fair

A real country fair.

Prime Bridge

This last week while in Idaho I let my kids walk across the Prime Bridge that connects Twin Falls Idaho to Jerome. I grew up a mile north of the bridge on the Jerome side and thought I would let my kids experience this walk. It is 1500 feet in lenght and 486 feet above the Snake River. To make it truly scary you should do it at night with the cars and there headlights speeding by at 65 mph (for those who drive the speed limit)

Twin Falls Temple

Wednesday the kids and I went through the Twin Falls Idaho Temple open house. It will be dedicated August 24th, 100 years after the first meeting "cabin" was built in the area. It will be the 128th temple.

Idaho

My brother Scott blessed his baby, Jensen Ann, this last weekend so we went to Idaho. My brother Tyson was taking his kids to Alturus (Smokey Lodge)to go camping during the week. This is where I went to 6 years of girls camp and my family went there every year so when I heard I invited myself along;) I took my kids and we had a blast. Everything is still as I remember it. Thanks Tyson.
