Memorial Day!

This year for Memorial Day the Orem City Cemetery was having a patriotic program for who ever wanted to come. Nate's little brother Brandon is serving as a Marine in the Military and is being sent to Afghanistan in June for a year, SCARY! So we thought as a family it would be good for us to show the girls what Memorial Day is all about. They shot off some cannons, shot guns, and recognized each ranking of the military. They lowered all of the flags and replaced them with clean new ones. It's interesting how when you have someone close to you serving our country how much more emotional events, songs, etc. are when it's a little closer to home.











After the program we had a brunch at The Cochran's home and hung out with Nate's family for a couple of hours, then we headed to my mom's house and had a bbq with my family. It was a very memorable Memorial Day!

Summer Sports 2009

This summer along with gymnastics that the girls are participating at All American Nate wanted to sign them up for some other types of sports. So we have Ky bug playing on the Lindon City Soccer league every Saturday morning. Then at the end of this month Nate is going to be "coaching" Addison's coach pitch team, which they will also be playing on Saturday's.
Looking forward to a lot of laughs and cheers watching our girls get physical this summer.

Spring Break, Florida 4-11/4-18-2009

I am the luckiest mom ever!! My mom, sister, and her best friend had planned to go to Florida for spring break this year. They ended up with an extra ticket due to family drama so my mom asked if I would be interested in going. Heck yeah, so I called my mother-in-law right away to see if she could watch my 3 little girls so that I could go to Florida for a week. She agreed and I was so excited!
We left early Saturday morning, and arrived in Tampa late that night. My mom had rented a beach condo in Reddington Florida, so we rented a car and drove about 45 minutes to our Beach House for the week.
Here are some pictures of our cute Condo!

This is were my sister Starlee and her friend Hillary slept on the hide-a-bed.

After unpacking and getting our house all ready we headed to our Private Beach, in Reddington. So Beautiful, 80 degrees, low humidity, Perfect!

Yeah, Reddington Beach!

Today we went to the Florida Aquarium. It was an over cast day so we got to see a lot of shows indoors. Dolphins, Sting Rays, Otters, Turtles, etc.

Lots of Fish at the Florida Aquarium


Dolphins, Yeah!!

Today we spent the entire day at Busch Gardens. Busch Gardens is known for their huge roller coasters. Star, Hill and I rode every one twice, and we got to sit in the front row on each roller coaster. The best day ever, so much fun!

Crazy, Huge, Fun Roller coasters @ Busch Gardens

Our last day here was a beautiful day. We spent our evening watching the sun set on the beach. Sad day, but memories to last a life time!



Good-Bye Beautiful Florida!

Easter is Almost Here!!

Let the Easter Egg Hunts Begin! I don't know about your families but my girls get to participate in a lot of egg hunts. With church, school, and families that equates to quite a bit. They love it though, and this was Laycee's first time being able to actually get eggs. She is so cute running to get the pretty eggs. Boy as soon as she gets them open the candy is gone! We hope you all have a Happy Easter this year spending time with your families and kids. We love all of you!
