The Wizard of OZ!!

Saige had her final Dance Recital on
Saturday June 14th
(Yeah, I am a little SLOW) they did "The Wizard of Oz" it was so cute and she did a great job, she will continue to dance in the fall.
She already can't wait to go back.

Our Little LION !!
Isn't she cute.
Her Class.
Saige breathing a sigh of relief now that she was done, she gets pretty nervous to go on the BIG stage as she would call it.
She was so excited to see everyone who came and cheered her on, she has quite the cheering section (should have got a picture)!!
Cousin Kayli brought her flowers and so did Ana (friend) she was thrilled thanks everyone for all you support she really loved it.

Proud parents we are so happy for her
and love to see the joy and pride
she has after she is done.
I would be terrified, so she does better than me!
Great Job Saige and can't wait until next year.

Afterwards we went for a little dinner
and Ice cream to celebrate
at one of Saige's favorite places
TACO AMIGO Gotta love it!!

SOCIAL WORKER ??


I saw this on Haley's Blog and thought I would see what it told me... I think it fits, see what you think then give it a try!!


You Should Be a Social Worker





You are deeply caring and empathetic.

You are able to take on other people's problems as if they were your own.

Sensitive and intuitive, you understand human emotions well.

Helping others gives you the most joy in life. You feel like it's your purpose in life.

You do best when you:

- Have a lot of responsibility

- Greatly impact someone's life with your work



You would also be a good philanthropist or stay at home parent.

What I was doing 10 yrs. ago: Still in HIGH SCHOOL yikes that is a scary thought!! Well it was the summer of my sophomore year, I was working at a car wash in Orem and having fun with my friends. Dating my future husband, REALLY we were dating and he had just graduated and was getting ready to head down to College (ha ha) at Snow College.

5 yrs. ago: Just getting ready to POP with our first little girl!! Couldn't wait to have her, but was scared to death. She was breech and so I had to have a c-section. I was working as a MA in American Fork and loved it!!

1 yr ago: BABIES again Cali was just 2 Months old, I was adjusting to life with three GIRLS (Yes three, we had Addie 2 1/2 years ago, we don't waist time around here). Recovering from another c-section and trying to keep going. She was a pretty good baby after we got over 3 weeks of jaundice, just a crazy, fun life with three!! Being able to stay home with them, how wonderful. Never thought I would get the chance to be a stay at home mom. LOVE IT !!

Yesterday: Going to the dentist. YUCK I really hate the dentist. Cleaning up around my house (never ending). Playing with the girls, having family night, yes believe it or not we really do TRY to have family night. Waiting until the girls were in bed to watch the Bachelorette.

HELP !!

I am just wondering how everyone does their pictures in blogger. I can't seem to get it right, or when I do it takes me forever and really I mean forever. I see blogs where the pictures are all in order and everything looks great but for me that would take too long. So I would like some input, there has got to be an easier way, I am just a computer dummy. I do have things I would like to post but it takes so long so I just decide not worth my time, lot's of other things calling my name (Saige, Addie, Cali, Laundry, Housework, Yardwork etc...). Sorry about the rambling hope it all makes sense and I hope someone has a solution. THANKS !!!

LAGOON !!

This last Friday we ventured to LAGOON, my dad got free tickets for being Mayor, so he decided to take his PRINCESS (ME) & the rest of the family. So Mom, Dad, Me & Girls,(Calvin was fishing) Hesston, Bridger, Jen & Kids went. Those who went had a great time and the kids love to spend time with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa!!
Riding the "Merry GO Round" this has always been a favorite of my girls, they could ride it all day and try every animal. But we lucked out and rode it just once. (YEAH mom can only go round and round so long)
Jen & Avarie


Cali & Gramps !! She loves her Grandpa so much and he loves her, these pictures just melt my heart, it reminds me of when I was little and how much I love my Daddy. So I love to see him with my little girls and I know they love him as much as I do.


Cali & Grandma watching the Ducks Cali loves animals just about as much as she loves Grammie !!
Once again love to see my kids with my parents so much fun to see how much they love them.


Hesston he was ready to go, he will try anything!! Avarie & Addie this was before Avarie realized what was going to happen. She was all SMILES!!

Then Avarie got a clue as to what was up, so we took her and let her ride with Saige. Avarie was scared to death!! Saige was such a great helper and got her to ride on it, she didn't know if she liked it but Saige got her to stick it out. Good JOB Avarie.

The boats are a classic, I have pictures of me when I was little in the same boats. The kids loved them.

The end of a long say and I wanted to get a group picture, Bridger and Jen had already left but here we are tired and ready to go but a least we got a picture. Thanks Mom and Dad we had a great time and love every minute we get to spend with you!!
Hard or not we are making MEMORIES and the kids love it.

Thanks again and can't wait for another adventure.

Calvin driving the boat. Captain "Scottie" (Josh) loves to fish and he keeps us laughing the whole time. Thanks Josh for a great fishing trip.Krista & Josh "Scratchy" the horney toad !! Calvin caught this the first morning we were there, Saige could hardly wait to show her friends. After a long day for the poor toad we decided to let him free. But we had lot's of FUN with him.
The catch of the Day !! We went fishing on the shore the first morning and Saige landed this awesome fish, she was so proud of herself. She reeled it in all by HERSELF (with a little help from dad).
Just look how proud she is.
Another pose with her fish. Saige and Addie going for a HIKE. Anything on a trail is a Hike to them. They love to go on adventures.
We all had a great time and can't wait to go again !!!
