A Camping we will go.....

Last weekend we had a family cub scout campout at Willow Park. Carson was welcomed in as the newest scout and he was thrilled. It was a fun evening despite the mosquito's. We ate dinner, awards were given, the kids played and the adults visited. There was a little drama at the beginning of the evening when Warren realized as he was about to set up our tent that the poles to the tent were up at East Fork of the Bear with the Boy Scouts where he was a day earlier. We were lucky enough to borrow two tents from our Cub Master, Bernice. She definitely saved the day. I thought maybe we were going to luck out and head home to our nice cozy beds. Warren was going to have none of that he was already on the phone with his mom asking her to bring us a tent. Everything worked out except for our sweet, sassy baby who kept us up all night. She is the reason why I don't look forward to camping. The next day I took a 4 hr. nap and I'm not a napper. She wears me out!!

CALLED TO SERVE!!

What an exciting day we had on Wednesday. My brother and step-brother both received their mission calls. My brother Skyler in the last picture is going to Tegucigalpa, Honduras Spanish speaking mission. My step-brother Colton in the middle picture is going to Mesa, Arizona. They both go to the M.T.C. on September 16th. We had such an exciting night we met at my mom's at 6:30 to watch my brother open his call and then at 8:30 we drove to Farr West to my dad's to watch my step-brother open his call. We are so impressed with these two young men for setting such a great example for all of us and especially for my two boys. I am such a proud sister today!!

Happy 85th....

Monday June 8th was Grandma White's 85th Birthday! I took the kids to surprise her on her birthday with balloons and cake. She was so excited! We had a good time visiting with her and I realized how long it had been since I took the kids to see her. I need to do better I want my kids to know all their grandparents and have long lasting memories of them. We love Grandma White and of course she showered us with lot's of kisses!

Happy Birthday Baylee!

My baby is two, I seriously want to cry! June 5th was Baylee's second Birthday. She loves Dora the Explorer, so we did Dora cupcakes and Dora Balloons. Baylee got a lot of neat gifts for her Birthday but her favorite of them all was the swing we gave her. She begs everyday all day to go out side and swing on her new swing! The whole time she's swinging she says higher mommy higher. She's still our little runt. I think it's hilarious when I take her to the store everyone says under their breaths look at that little mini girl. She's still of course our sassy, wild, cute little ball of sweetness. I just can't get enough of her!

Brynlee's Preschool Graduation!!

Brynlee just graduated from Jordan High School's Kinderbeet Preschool Program. This was her second year there and she loved every minute of it. She is anxiously awaiting for Kindergarten to start and little does she know it will be a few months. She is so smart and loves to write letters to her family and friends. She is such a cutie in her cap and gown we had a wonderful evening with grandparents and uncles there to support her at her graduation!

Spring Soccer!

Kemry, Brynlee, and Maycee played their first year of soccer together. I think for the most part they all had a good time.


Brynlee scored three goals her first game and tries hard every game to come close to that accomplishment. She is one of the shortest and so she sometimes ends up in the back of the pack but with a pep talk from me last game she really stepped it up. I told her when she's next to the ball to kick kick run run and it was amazing to watch her not hesitate and she was actually taking the ball and running down field with it.

Then we have Connor who excels at every sport he plays. Every team he is on we have parents telling us what a great athlete he is. He played soccer on a team that had a few of his football friends on it, it's a fun way for him to stay in shape for football. He can play any position and this season he played goalie quite a bit.

Then we have Carson who just finished his year long season playing soccer for Sparta! Boy, has he come a long way. With all of the training he has learned so much. We had so much fun watching his team play. It's so much different from watching Connor's team play. Sparta they train them so intensely. These boys dribble and pass back and forth down the field it's way more advanced then playing for sandy city. It also costs hundreds of more dollars but is so worth it. Carson's coach wanted him to continue playing with Sparta but Carson has decided to give football a try in the fall.

Dad's 50th Surprise Party!

I'm a little slow at posting this but on April 24th we had a fun surprise party at Spaghetti Factory for my dad's 50th Birthday. My grandma from St. George was even able to come up and surprise my dad. We had about 25 people there and my stepmom had all of us go around the table and tell one favorite memory of my dad. I of course told the time when my sister and I were teenagers and we got into an all out brawl in our bedroom and my dad came downstairs and was so mad that he lassoed my sisters radio by the cord and swung it around his head a few times and let go of it into the shelf on the wall. He then punched the door on the way out. This might sound shocking but it was his way of not beating us. Happy Birthday Dad and many more to come!
