Universal Studios

Here are pictures from Day #2 of our vacation. There was hardly anyone there so the lines were perfect and we got to ride on everything several times! "THE MUMMY RIDE" was by far the favorite!

Kristopher was really there! He was late getting back from the Alta Soccer Camp, so he isn't in any of the pictures! We missed you Jen! The girls were all sad that you weren't matching them too!

Mutton Bustin'

McKenna decided to do the Mutton Bustin' at the rodeo with her cousin Tyce. She was a bit nervous, but loved it when she was done! She was the second to last kid(out of 40 or so) to ride and tied with 2 other kids for 2nd place! She won $21.80! No one was more surprised than me! The family (uncles & big brother) bet that she would cry and not go through with it, but she proved them all wrong! She can't wait to do it again next year! Check out Kendra's blog to see Tyce.

Family Vacation DAY 1

We got to the hotel around 3:00 pm. We thought we would take the time to play in the pool for a while. Roger & Kristopher spent most of the time trying to prove to each other who was stronger! There was a small water slide. It wasn't as much fun as just playing around in the pool though. Stay tuned for DAY #2!

Disney Princesses!

Since we were just there, and I heard about this in one of the parks, I was surprised to see it on Julie's Blog! I'm glad she had the link! Unfortunately, Belle was the one Princess we didn't get to have our picture taken with!



You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.


Which Disney Princess Are You?

Locks for Love

After an off handed remark from her dad about cutting her hair short so she wouldn't cry every time she combed it, knowing that her cousin Jagen survived doing it, lots of thought, and a few tears....McKenna decided to cut off 10 inches of her gorgeous hair for Locks of Love! She cried the night before, but when it came down to doing it, neither mom nor Kenna shed a tear as Trudie made the first (or last) cut. We are very proud of her and think she looks as cute as ever! Jessica was going to do it too, but after she saw Kenna's, she was having second thoughts! Someone, (probably Bud) called her chicken so she decided to go for it too! They both look great and we are proud of Jessica too!

Jessica is 12 & ready to go to Young Womens!

For Jessica's Birthday, I blindfolded her and drove her around to pick up a few of her friends for breakfast. She had no idea what we were doing and the girls got in the car and didn't make a peep! She didn't think we were having a party at all because I forgot to do invitations and we are leaving for a week, so I told her maybe we could do something when we got back. Needless to say, she was very happy that I didn't really forget her party! That night, while she and her dad were at their last "Daddy-Daughter Party" for Primary, the Beehives in our ward came over to decorate the yard and welcome her into Young Women! She is very excited to be done with Primary and mom is excited because she has GREAT YW Leaders!

SLC 1/2 Marathon


Roger & Kristopher ran the Salt Lake City Half Marathon on Saturday, April 19th. They ran together and finished just under 2 hours, beating their time from last years race! McKenna & Jessica ran in the KIDS MARATHON which is just over a half mile. The boys ran it with them and it was fun to see them all cross the Finish Line holding hands! Elmo was there to cheer them on, along with Grandma Dixie and Papa Paul!

Fun with Sami & Amanda











Sami & Amanda came for dinner the week before Easter. We had fun playing and singing on the Wii. They also taught the kids a new game. Roger was not so good at it, but it made us all laugh!

Christmas 2007

Well, Santa was good to us again this year! With just us and Grandma & Grandpa it was a bit quite but still FUN!!! Maggie was a great sheep for our little shepherd. She looked great in the Santa outfit, but I think we wore her out. She really liked Jessica's purple pillow. Good thing grandma got a dog!

Luckily, Butterscotch got to be there with her to make her feel better! He even got his own doctor's mask. Thanks for all the prayers and phone calls. They really lifted her spirits!

The Horse Whisperer

Jessica would move to Delbert's House if someone would let her. She loves to go to his house and see all the horses. She was out in the field with over 50 colts and their moms. She even got in the round pen and helped train and exercise the big stud horse that Delbert works with. These pictures were taken in the spring but Jessica wanted me to share them.

Back-to-School...Finally!

Mom's having a BAD year! My baby boy started High School, Jessica is on her last year of being a little kid, and Kenna now goes to school ALL day! I'm sure it won't take me too long to get over it though and learn to enjoy those few hours to myself!!! Jessica is on Safety Patrol, & YES, Kristopher has to catch the bus in the dark. He wouldn't let me come take pictures at the bus stop (go figure) so I stood on the back patio and used my zoom lense.

Startin' College @ USU

I had a GREAT time helping Sami move into her dorm room at USU. Her room was much bigger than any dorm room I remember! I am really glad that she let me be her substitute mom since her mom is now living in the Dominican Republic.
