Birthdays!

Kellie and I both celebrated our birthdays in these past two months. Kellie turned 11 on Dec. 15th she had fun day! A little after christmas she took her birthday and christmas money and went and bought a huge bean bag for her room. She also bought matching pajamas and robes with Kate, they looked so precious so we had to take pictures! Then for my birthday I got to celebrate it twice once with all my friends (The little cake that kellie so kindly made for me!) and then I got to have a family birthday party! I will soon hopefully be getting my permit, EEK!

Now, i'm waiting for one more year than I can date!! ;D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My moms dream came true, she was able to make an Elizabeth Bennet costume for herself and a Mr. Darcy outfit for Dad. They were invited to a Halloween party so it was a perfect opportunity, because they finally had a place to wear it. My mom enjoyed this very much and they both had a blast at the party. Kate was Fawn the fairy from the movie Tinkerbell, so Mom had fun making it. Kellie was Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter! She actually made most of her costume, my mom mainly supervised well Kellie made every little detail in her costume. She loved it! I went to the D.I with my friend a couple weeks ago and we were determined to find costumes, we ended up being nerds! We dressed up and went to see the Michael Jackson movie This is It since its only out in theatre's for a couple days. We then went out to dinner and then down to the This is the Place heritage park. They had taken this old pioneer village and turned it into this haunted maze type thing, it was loads of fun! While I was there Kellie and Kate and my Mom went trick-or-treating, while Kaelyn stayed home and passed out candy for my Dad who was at the Utes game. Overall it was a great halloween!

24th of July Parade

Our neighborhood had a 24th of July breakfast in the park and a childrens parade around the neighborhood. Kate and Kellie decorated their bikes (with moms help) for the event. Kate was awarded a treat bucket for one of the "Most Partriotic" bike. Later that day we had a BBQ/Swim party with Uncle Tim's family and went to see Disney's new release "G-Force" at the drive in theatre.

Little CottonWood!

Today to celebrate the 24th of July we went up to little cottonwood canyon for a picnic and some exploring. We had loads of fun hiking and playing in the water. It was an absolutley gorgeous day to be out in the beautiful mountains!
