Our CHOO CHOO Adventure!

Today we attempted to get our family picture taken. Well to say the least it was just too WINDY! To get out the door was a chore, only because I hate 1-4pm church because your day is wasted, and kids just get too tired. Cohen cried and wouldn't get dressed and then we bribed him and said we were going to see a CHOO CHOO train. Ha ha like that was going to happen. We started driving and I said we can't go on tracks that we always see trains on, Jesse said there won't be any trains today. Well right when we got to where we were going, what do you know a train in our rear view mirror. So we stopped and let the kids to see it go by. The train was going pretty fast and then all of the sudden it started to slow down and then halt. You betcha it stopped and the engineer got out and said come on in, check it out. Cohen was so excited. Dalton and Aspen were too but CoCo is obsessed with trains. So they got to sit in there and honk the horn. We waited until yet another train passed so they could trade tracks. So we were in a train watching another train go by. So exciting. So to say the least, we didn't lie, we saw a train and a whole lot more. Too bad no good family pictures. OH well totally worth it!

Orem Owlz GAME and Tee Ball!

Dalton had Tee Ball games all summer on Saturdays. He got so involved it was great! He was such a slugger, but would prefer to play with someone pitching the ball to him. He is such a good kid at everyhting he does. To wrap things up our team got to participate in an Orem Owlz game. Dalton was so lucky he got to run with the catcher we were so excited for him. He had his name called as the catcher for the night. Since he was a home plate he got to meet the umpires too. It was cool.

My Kiddos!

Ute Stampede!

We went to the Ute Stampede with Jesse's family and our friends Brad and Shay. We had a lot of fun. Afterwards they had a mechanical and all my kids wanted to ride it. (Jesse included in one of my kids) Actually Shae's little cowboy Jace wanted to ride it so bad and when he got up to ride he got to shy and wouldn't. So the man said "well if he isn't going to ride then you will have to. He was okay with that though.

Boating Fun!

This weekend we went boating on Friday and Saturday. We had so much fun. The kids were more daring and felt safe swimming with life jackets. They would jump into the water. They rode the tube and loved it. But the first time we got on the tube, we were sitting on it and you have to lay on it, oh no Aspen, Cohen and I went under, yes we sunk the tube when Jesse drove off. Water just overflowed and dunked us. The only thing that went through my mind was lift the two kids above the water and stay calm so they wouldn't be scared. We survived. It was a great learning experience and great family bonding time.

Memory Tag!

I got this off Shaunee's Blog and thought this tag was such a cute idea! I would love to know some of the memories that you remember about me (or do I?...)!

Here are the directions: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Side Note: Your memory could even be a favorite blog post.

Stadium of FIRE!

What a week! I love the summer. The 4th of July and days before were so much fun! On Thursday we went to the Orem Owls game and then watched the fireworks after the game. Then I woke up on the 4th and set up our ward flags with some of our young women. Then we went to the Freedom Festival Parade. The weather was perfect. It didn't feel very hot because it was overcast...NICE! Then we came home and slept for 2-3 hours and then more FUN! We went out to Sizzler and headed to Stadium of FIRE! We went with my mom and our friends Shay and Brad and their little Berkley. It was a lot of fun and Aspen loved it. She was singing along and kept asking me "Mom, can I yell go Miley?" I said "go ahead." Then she said can I yell "I love you, Miley?. I of course said "Go for it!" She is so funny. Dalton had fun too, he sang along to "See You Again" and he liked the Blue Man Group. Good times, but of course my camera battery died. Here are some pics, I'll post more later when I get them from my cute friend Shay.
