Coverlooks

For Mami's birthday and mother's day we decided to give her a present that she has been wanting for a long time. So we all pitched in to get a makeover and pictures of Mami with her two daughters. We have never done anything like this before so it was fun to bond together. They did an amazing job with the pictures.

When we got done we went to to the mall to eat lunch and take some more pictures at Kiddie Kandids cause we thought we could get some good pictures there a little less expensive. The photographer looked like she was 12 and so the pictures were not the best. Of course we had just come out of a very professional photo session.

We love all of the pictures but this is our favorite of all 3 of us.

Cameo Day

For the second year in a row we went to this event. The girls heard that we had so much fun last time so they went also. We met Mami and Z there. We got manicures done. C ate lots of treats. I won a mouse for a blonde person. Whatever will I do with it? This is a fun tradition. Total girl bonding time!

18th Anniversary

How much do I love my husband... let me count the ways... Just a few will probably do. Otherwise my blog would be full.

18 years!! If I hadn't done it I would not believe it! I believe I have been blessed and I have the best husband ever! He works hard for us, we does all of our landscaping, he cooks, he babysits, he plays, he reads, he is completely devoted to the gospel, he makes me laugh, he is a good father, he knows so much about everything, and whatever he doesn't know he finds out about it and then he knows, he knows computers very well, he makes our bed, he makes us breakfast on Saturdays, he makes yummy shakes and popcorn, and many many more. BUT MOST OF ALL I LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES ME!

We celebrated by going out to eat at this fancy restaurant by the Ogden Airport and then we bought some shoes. We went out on Friday since our actual day was on Sunday.

We better take more pictures together. This is all that I could find.

Stake Conference Challege

We had an awesome Stake Conference. Because we are preparing for trek and it will be centered around Christ they have asked the whole stake to re-read the first four books in the New Testament. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We have to get ready to be good teachers anyways. This is how our Trek Master puts it. "You can't take anything from an emply well" . If we want to be able to teach these youth something we have to be prepared or there will be nothing to share. I've started and will continue to press forward. I had to put this on here because a goal not written down is only a wish. Wish me luck!

S Monster Concert

This is probably her only cello performance but it was great! She thinks the instrument is too big to lug around. She has decided and the band teacher accepted her as a flute student for Jr. High. She learned a lot in 1 year of cello!

Frontrunner

We just got a new commuter rail train that goes from Ogden to SLC. They were letting people ride for free for a few days so that people could see what it was like. We have been watching the building process and we were excited to try it. But, we are usually busy every night except for Monday. So we decided that for FHE we would ride the train to SL go have some dinner at the

Gateway and then come home.

We got to the station and there was a lot of people and this other family that was coming home from our ward told us not to get on cause it was too crowded. We still wanted to try it! We got on a crowded train (standing like tunas) and rode down. We got off, ate dinner at Panda Express. We had some ice cream and then we thought we were going home...

There was a ton of people with the same idea. So we didn't get on the first train but we got on the next one. We even got seats on the 2nd level. We would be home about 9:30 that's not too bad (we thought). Well, we came down to get off at our stop but the doors would not open so we had to keep riding. We finally got off at the next stop. And then we had to wait for the next train. Once the train came, the doors would not open so we had to run to the other doors. We thought we would miss it again! Luckyly there was another family that had the same problem and they held the door open for us.

We finally got home at about 11:30. Everyone exhausted and some still had homework to do. The kids say that they will not go on frontrunner ever again! What a memorable experience that we will never forget!

Happy B-Day Mami and Z

We really don't count up we just celebrate the birthdays. We had a yummy fish tacos dinner at our house with the famous annual strawberry cake. I love my mom, she is a wonderful example to me of being patient and kind. I love my sister, she is always so fun and ready to help anyone in need. We are so lucky!

Ice Show

Since K and I volunteered for ice skating junior national championship we got some tickets to go see the ice show. I bought a couple of extra tickets for C and S and we made it a girls night out. Some of those kids are just amazing. I'm sure they practice lots and lots.

C and CR stayed home with G and watched Transformers!

Pinewood Derby

KC and CR have been so exited about this pinewood derby. They started working on it in February or something. They only got to work on it for an hour or so every weekend. I am so surprised cause KC is usually a procrastinator. I guess he knew that if he did not work on it in stages it would not get done. He has been waiting for this for a very long time.

I guess all of the work payed of because CR got first place. He crushed the competition that it was hard to be too excited for him because there was no one even close to catching up to him.

D.A.R.E. Graduation

S graduated from the DARE program today. For the record she promises never to do drugs in any way, shape or form. Go S!! We are proud of you!! This is a good decision to make at this time in your life!

One good point that the mayor made in his speech. He showed the kids a $20 bill and asked them who wanted it. Of course they all raised their hands. Then we crinckled it, stepped on it and made it look old. Then he asked the kids again who wanted it. They all still wanted it. His point was that no matter what happens to us or how we look we all have value. They he gave each of the kids a dollar bill with a stamp on it that said "No matter what I have value".
