Long time, no post....

It's been awhile. While I wish I could say that I have been doing tons of fun things, I can't. Life is pretty much easy going and peaceful right now with not alot going on. I did finish the Twilight serious in record time though. It was a great read. I was anticipating the new perspective book that Stephanie Meyer was working on, Midnight Sun: Edward's Version of Twilight, until somebody illegally posted it on the Internet. She has stopped working on it indefinately, but has graciously posted a partial draft of the book on her site here http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html . I am not all the way through it and it is very difficult to read much before my lovely PC shuts down on me, because I unknowingly downloaded some crappy spyware shiz!

Anyway, other than that, not to much going on with the little people in school. The little people just started flag football (Bridger), and baseball (Bailey). More to come on that topic.

Obsessed.....

I am so dreadfully behind on posting, it's not even funny! And due to my recent obsession with the "Twilight" Series, i'm pretty much non functional when it comes to anything, but reading! Ugh! I luv it! I am a little mad that I didn't read it sooner, but I heard that it was about vampires and wasn't the slightest bit interested. That is until Ashlee asked me if i'd read them and i told her no and why not. She assured me that I would luv it and I do. I have done nothing for the last two days, but read, all 498 pages of it! The little people have been so good just to play and leave me be! Yeah! I even heard Sophie tell the boys when they came in yelling for me, "SSHHH, mommas readin!" David definatly has not benefited from this whatsoever. He even muttered the question, "what did you do all day", apparently the house was trashed. The only benefit to me just now getting started, is that I don't have to wait for the sequels. They're already waiting patiently for me on the shelves at the store. Gotta get there tomorrow! The suspense is killing me!

Shoshone Falls

While we were in Idaho we visited Shoshone Falls Park! These falls are actually higher than Niagra Falls. Not much else to say about it except it was pretty to look at for a minute and a really nice park! The kids seemed to enjoy it. The falls flow into the Snake River! You know, the river Evel Knivel tried to jump on his motorcycle. We have also visited that spot before. It was at this park that we decided to bring James home with us for a couple of weeks. He is a great Kid and we have luved having him around.

Twin Falls Temple

Over the past few weeks we have had some fun dayz. Besides the 24th, we took a trip up to Idaho to attend the Twin Falls Temple open house with Nanny. That is the temple Nanny & Poppy will be workers in. Now they don't have to drive to Boise anymore to work at the Boise temple. They only have to go about 40 miles from there home in Paul to Twin Falls. We met up with Susan, Tara, & James and had lunch before we all went to see the Temple. It was obviously a very beautiful and spiritual experience. That is until Sophie took off running through a special curtain in one of the rooms and I about died!!!! HOly Cow, we had men running from every directions to try and stop her! Oh Dear! There was also an individual that puked all over in the Celestial Room on the plush White carpet. Nasty! The spirit must have hit them pretty Strong! Anyway, it was a great experience for the boys and i'm so glad we made the journey up there.

Reservoir FuN!!

Vic and I decided we wanted to take the little people to the park yesterday! What a great idea, NOT! It was seriously like 942 degrees outside and at least that on all the playground equipment. So we packed up and went to the reservoir! It was so much fun! I think were going to be spending more time there this summer.

Pioneer Day continued...

After our fun afternoon at PrimRose, Sophie came home and crashed. David took Bailey, Bridger & James over to Salem Pond to swim and take the canoes out. They had a great time! When all the little people woke up we put up the tropical paradise pool and they took a dip.


After swimming we had a big barbecue with lots of yummy food! Then we packed some treats and drinks and walked over to the Sports Park for some live music before the fire works. The kiddos had fun running around and playing on the fields dancin to the music. Uncle Lou bought them all light up necklace thingy magiger bobbers and 3D firework watchin glasses. Sophie put them on and started reachin to grab. It was the cutest thing. When they were all played out (or mommy was) we walked back home and set up for the fireworks. We have a great view from our driveway. I can't wait till we have a lawn to sit on! Anyway, we had a huge box of fireworks of our own that Pyromaniac David set off and then we enjoyed the city fireworks. It was a great night and we enjoyed spending it with family and friends. My camara battery died so I didn't get any pics of the little people doing sparklers. Poor little Kayley got burned by one. It was so sad. But she was a trooper and got all fixed up and forgot about it.

Pioneer Day

We started off bright and early with the Parade! It was alot of fun sitting with our good friends and family! The kiddos all had a blast! Sophie really liked seeing the princesses! I luv having a Girlie Girl!

After the parade Sophie and I went to a Special Princess Tea at PrimRose with some of our best friends. They had the Spanish Fork Royalty there visiting with all the little girls. They luved it! The food was Fabulous! I especially luved the cranberry scones. Sophie's favorite part was the cupcakes! What a Cheeser!

After lunch we got to go into the "Spoiled Rotten" part of the Spa and the girls had tons of fun dressing up and strutten their stuff on the RunWay! They had princess dresses in every size, shape and color. It was a blast!

Sophie also got her face painted like a kitty. She sat so still and looked so cute!

It was a super fun event and she played so hard... she was exhausted!
