A Fun Day @ Lagoon!

So ... we took our yearly family trip to Lagoon for Summer's birthday (in July..i'm a little late posting) and wow what a freakin' blast. First of all......105 degrees. Second of all.....no bra to catch my sweat. I swore I would never wear just a tank top out in the heat again, but come on I didn't want my straps showing. lol

The kids had a total blast. Keaton and Lily loved the kiddie rides. Summer and Weston took a friend along, so we didn't see much of them. But they claim they had a great time. It wasn't very crowded and Cody and I got a chance to go on quite a few rides. Including the new ride "wicked". My thoughts on the new ride : Really fun right at first.....a little slow and boring towards the end. Not the best, but fun!

The kids were really good and were in good moods throughout most of the day UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR THE FAMILY OL' TIMER PICTURE!!!!! AWWWWW!!! What a memory!

NOTICE: No Keaton in the picture. No clothes on Lilyan. And a ugly ass stressed out look on my face!!! Weston and Cody were totally into the whole thing. It was an intense time picking out Weston's wardrobe and it took Cody a total of 6.5 minutes just to pick out a hat! I mean really come on!!! All in all, we got a picture with five out of the six of us and they turned out "not to shabby"

I did have a good time and always look forward to our trip....but glad that we didn't take advantage of the "bounce back" and won't have to return until next year!! =)

One Freakin Hot Weekend!

This weekend in Clinton was a HOT one! Summer played both Thursday and Friday in 103 degree heat! We were sticky - stinky bitches!!! Kylee and Brian came Thursday and mom and Kylee Friday. Fun times were had by all!!! We had some swoob, swass, and swina going on BIG TIME!! lol My favorite part of the tournament...... the trip to BIG 5! Thanks to Summer forgetting her "one" cleat, we had to take a trip into Layton for some new ones. Let's just say trying on "oldtimer" shoes can be a blast!! I seriously almost had to pee in my pants! (Could you imagine if we had to play with a racket that big???) lmao Kylee you are too funny! Summer played good. She laid down her first bunt and it was a beautiful one. They did lose all four games...but Hey we still had fun!

I also got to see my friend Annie and her kids! It's been almost 6 years since I've seen them and it was soooo awesome seeing them again and catching up. Weston loved playing with the girls and we loved laughing about old times. I loved it!

Soooo next weekend it's off to Salt Lake for another tourney. I'm sure we'll have another great time!!! I can't wait!

Little Miss Lily

she just turned 14 months old and already in the bathroom primping like a little princess

Isn't she so stinkin' cute ???

Sick Babies????

I took the babies to the doctor today, after a night of NO sleep. They were both up all night...coughing, sneezing, crying, running fevers, hurting. Poor little ones!





So I get them to the doctor -- do you think they cough??? Do you think they cry or sneeze or have a fever??? Nothing! I think their pediatrician thinks I might be a bit over protective. Maybe! I didn't dream it....I swear it happened! Do they look sick to you?

Jason's Birthday

Yesterday was Jason's 38th birthday. Instead of doing my norm and buying 2 packages of socks, baking his favorite cake, and cleaning his house - Brooke and I went to the cemetery and set up this cutest duck spinner. We try to do these things to keep from going crazy on sad days like this. It's hard to believe he's been gone for two years. I miss him so much! I hope you love the duck spinner Jas....something to enjoy from heaven. I love you!

Humor At Home Depot

After we quit laughing so hard, I snapped this shot with my phone so I could share the humor.

So What...It's a lawn mower on our cart. Why so funny????

We have not one single blade of grass in our yard! Yes, one day SOON we will, but for now...NOTHING! Cody and I discussed which mower would be the best and after about 7 minutes of deep concentration, we put this one on the cart. It was then when Cody started laughing. He didn't have to say a word and I started laughing too. The poor teen-age boy that was helping us with our purchase looked at us like we had lost it. I turned to him with tears running down my face and said to him, "We don't even have grass!" Yes....They've lost it!

Too Funny! I thought you'd enjoy this one.

Do They Get Along? you ask...

Well, let's just say it's not very often that I'll get a picture like this. Maybe Summer or Weston with one of the little ones, but not together AND SMILING! The most surprising thing -- I didn't even take the picture. I didn't even have to beg and bargain to get this thing. They took it all on their own. Ahhhh what great kids! =) (for now anyway)

Summer's Moving on to High School

For some reason it hasn't quite hit me that she's out of Jr. High and in August will enter the Ohhh so familiar doors of the High School. It doesn't seem that long that I was there myself. Okay, maybe it's because she is only 17 years younger than I am. People asks me all the time if it seems weird that I have a daughter that old.......Of course it's weird. I'd use other words such as scary, amazing, and making me sick to my stomach. She's a beautiful girl and I'm very proud to be her mother. I know she'll go through her good and bad times, but I know we'll be just fine. We grow closer every day and I feel that she'll do great. I'll get use to her growing up and she'll get use to me being a bit over protective.
