To MY Man!

14 years ago...Scott asked me to marry him.

We aren't sure if it was the 10th or the 11th because it was late at night,

in the mountains,

at a single adult overnight er at his family's cabin.

But truthfully it didn't matter!

We were in love had dated 11 long days and knew it was right!

Thanks babe, for asking me to be yours forever or....

to at least think about it!

I LOVE (lvoe) YOU!

P.S. Thanks Steph for snapping a picture for us on the big Engagement Day!

LAGOON 2008

Every year our family , Jason, Glenda , Zach, and Skotie head to Lagoon for Harmon's Days!

It is a tradition that the kids LOVE!

This year my sister Crystal and her family,

Kathrine, Jenea, Nikelle, Brylie, Anni and Ben joined us for the fun!

Harmon's gives us a great deal on tickets for us and our extended family and friends.

They also provide food at a great deal as well!

One of the favorite things the kids love is... Getting their faces painted!

The girls always go and do this! Emma got a pony...of course! Brylie a bee, Abby got a star with an "A" and Skotie got a flower vine. the clowns do a fantastic job! Emma and Cami got princess' on their arms! Cutie Bugs! Emma's favorite ride was the whales...She rode them at least 9 times! Jenea and Emma took a drive int he cars! Out touring the country side! Abby and Skotie went on Cliff Hanger and got soaked! Dallin became the bravest of all this year! He rode every roller coaster ride in the park! His FAVORITE ride was WICKED! He had his hands raised up as high as they could go and a grin from ear to ear! When i went on the Colasses with him he was laughing at me because I was scared to death closing my eyes! The gang on Tide O Wave! Abby and Skoties favorite ride was the Tilt O Whirl! The crowd got involved with their ride as they started counting how many times the got their basket to turn. the crowd chanted together as they reached 75 and finally got stopped by the ride attendant! They were SOOOOOOOOOOOO dizzy when they got off! One of the reasons we love Harmon's Days SOOOOOOO much is because the provide all the watermelon, drinks, brownies, ice cream sandwich's, Popsicle's, and COTTON CANDY you can eat! FREE! Yes! I am a Cotton Candy Junkie and THAT is my favorite part of this day. Saying that I love it is an understatement! I had a least 18! Yes, like I have said I LOVED sugar. I did bring my nifty little toothbrush and brushed between feasting as well as my young monkeys! Yummmmm! Every year the game we like to play is Guess IT! They try to guess your age with in two years. I went over and they guessed 24 and I won this pink Elephant for Em. Scott went and they guessed 35. He won a bangle tiger. Jason they guessed his right on, the big 38! Rattlesnake Rapids is the ride we save for the end of the day. The gang always ALWAYS gets drenched! Mom, Emma, and Dad on the train ride to see the animals. Our final ride of the night was the bumper cars.

I LOVE THE BUM BER CARS!

Something about all the giggles and smiles!

Anyhow we had a great day...the weather was perfect,

the lines were short, and most of all we spent it with loved ones.

Congrats to Annibug! She passed her driver test 90%! Yeah Girl!

FINALLY Summer!

I finished up working on Monday!

Yeah!

The kids were ecstatic!

We spent our "first day of summer" at the pool!

It was so nice to wake up and be with my babies and feed them breakfast!

Last night before Dallin fell asleep he said,

"Mom! I can hardly wait for you to fix me your breakfast made with love...I have missed you!"

WOW!

For a moment my kids appreciated the little things I do for them!

Any how, Emma had been complaining of an owie tooth and we took her to the dentist! Abscessed tooth. OUCH! She is tough as nails that one!

So antibiotics and IBprofin and good as new...well until it wears off and the bear awakes!

To my Bro!

Happy Birhtday Jason!

Thanks for being so fun!

I hope you have a Fabulous birthday!

We are lucky to have you in our lives!

OUR TEXAS RANGERS!

TEXAS RANGERS TAKE 3RD!

What a Tournament!!! These boys played their hearts out. They were the bad news bears...we were the littlest team with only 9 players all season!We are so proud of our BUBBA! He was an MVP!

Today it was you play till you loose and then you wereout of the tournament.

They played three games and took 3rd.

Dallin brought home the two winning runs in the first game to win and was the winning run in the second...The Thrid game he was the Target of the entire City officials reffing system as the kid to keep out of the game..He did great but you can't beat a corrupt system.

Dallin is as honest as you get and he got skunked!

If you would like the entire story maybe at a later time when I am not so emotional we will let you know all the garbage of the game.

He still loves the game and wants to play play play! He took it the hardest from his team as tears filled his eyes. You won't find a boy who loves Baseball as much as he does ...I think red dirt is in is blood!

Dallin got the game ball and hasn't put it down.

He shined today!

I don't know how many kids will play baseball in full uniform in 95* weather from 9:00 am till 5:00 and not ONE complaint but I just want to play more ball! I don't want it to be over!

A Little of Everything!

This is where I have been spending my summer days...the school...You think I would have gotten enough of the school after last year! But at least t isn't volunteer. I am getting paid. This was my first hall I finished...scrubbing the sinks, toilets, door frames and carpets, moved to the halls and scrubbed, squeegeed, mopped, stabilized then waxed the floor. Look at that baby shine! I HAVE had a lot of fun working with the three amigos, and have had plenty of laughs. The kids came and spent the mornings with me while Abby was at Math camp the last 2 weeks. One morning they helped me wash the rooms garbage's out. I cleaned them and they lined them up. Can you see their fathers O.C.D. come through at all in D and Em? Dallin actually counted them out first thing to figure out how many to go across so they would come out evenly. Orem Summerfest was a lot of fun. Abby had a booth at the baby contest selling her flowers and I was asked to judge the adorable babes. It was a lot of fun. It was more fun to watch the fretting parents and grandparents. We then went to the parade...Emma was set to go! The crew! We love the parade. we get our spot 48 hours in advance it has been a 14 year tradition and our little group has grown quite a bit! I was thrilled to have Heather with us again this year! A big congrats to her and her scholarship at SUU! Yeah ! Our three favorites were the Miss Orem Float...Of Course! Little Miss Lindon...Abby's very good friend, Callie, is serving as Little Miss Lindon this year. The watering can sprayed bubbles...Sooo cute! The Jack Sparrow float...Way amazing he sounded just like him as he thanked us for coming to the parade! Dallin earned his BOBCAT! He also lead the color guard for the pack meeting! Receiving his bobcat! We are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of him! he has made leaps and bounds this year! At pack meeting they held a Go For the Gold Olympics....the blur is Dallin jumping in the standing long jump! He had a ball.........and Any way it has been busy and I am Looking forward to the next adventures.

My Mom and Dad made it safely to Ireland and are settling in!

And Scott got One more A for his record!

I will keep you posted!

Until then have lovely!
