Good Times!

Enjoying the end product!

Jayden could not wait for the eggs to boil. He thought if he watched them they would boil faster!

Team work! It was so awesome seeing the 2 of them work so well together!

Jayden's first time making brownies. Kyrsten holds the title of "best brownie baker" in our family for now anyway!

Kyrsten and Jayden wanted to make us pancakes for breakfast! They were yummy! And yes, they left the mess for mom!! YUCK!

Hannah Montana Party

Check out all those Hannah and Miley look alikes. Are they not just the cutest bunch of girls??!?!?!?! Lani threw a Hannah/Miley Best of Both Worlds Concert party for Shelby and her friends! As you can see, it was a smashing hit! The girls were darling and the party was a hit! I am so happy we have such great friends. Thanks again Lani! Love your parties! They ROCK!

SUMMER FUN!

Some summer fun pictures!

BEES Game

Last night we all went to a Bees game! Jay was even able to join us! We had a lot of fun. It was the CHG summer party. We had a delicious BBQ and watched an awesome game! The Bees ROCKED!!! After the game there was an amazing fireworks show! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love summer!

July

This has to be my favorite month! I absolutely love the hot summer weather! I love the excitement of July 4th and all the festivities. BBQ's and fireworks! I love the freedom we have and am so thankful to live in America!

We have been having a blast this July! The last day of school - (YIPEE) was July 1st! Right after school, we headed up to the Rockport Lake for our annual camping trip with our great friends the Mechams. This year was a little more scattered than in years past but we still had a blast! The water was awesome! Warmer that expected given the yucky weather this year!

Unfortunately, I never really got in the water! But everyone else was tearing it up behind the boat!

This year Jay & Carolee rented wave runners. Now typicall Jay (Yes the J J thing is a pain) and I are really opposed to wave runners - but I must say we had a lot of fun on thiers!

We have started some traditions with this annual trip such as going to the Spring Chicken Inn for dinner, going to the fireworks at Granite HS on the 3rd and hitting the Oakley rodeo on the 4th. Well, the only tradition we upheld this year was the fried chicken dinner - it is awesome. However, the service this year was disasterous. They fired the first server we had right after he had taken our order. Needless to say, Kyrsten and I had dessert long before our dinner was even served. It was still Yummy!

Instead of the rodeo, we took the kids to the Stadium of Fire. Of course we really went to see Miley Cyrus! It was awesome according to Kyrsten - Jayden claims he hated it! The fireworks were amazing! Before and after the show we had a blast tailgating w/the Ruelles!

The rest of the month we have spent playing outside and at the LTF pool keeping cool!

Jayden turned 8 in March! And he definitely thinks it's GREAT TO BE 8! He was baptized along with three of his friends! It was an amazing day! He has awesome friends! It was great to surronded by family for the day! We were excited to have Great Grandpa Jackson and Pappa stand as witnesses as Jay baptized Jayden. Great Grandpa Jackson is suffering from Alzheimers. He was having a great day and was proud to be a witness. We are glad to have this great memory with him. After the baptism we all went to Famous Dave's for a celebration lunch. Jayden wanted to go to Timpanaki but they were closed. What a special day for Jayden!

It's Great to be 8!
