Nitro Circus

John and the boys love to watch the show Nitro Circus. It's a show on MTV about guys and a girl that are basically adrenaline rush junkies!!! They love to test their skill on any bike, car, airplane, tricycle, I mean just about everything!!!! Anyway, we were able to go to the Nitro Circus movie Premiere for 2009 at the Energy Solutions Arena. The boys had a blast!!! And got to take pictures with a few of the stars!! Their favorite, being Travis Pastrana.

Halloween 2009

Well, this year's Halloween wasn't as warm as last years, but that didn't stop the kids from going out and getting as much candy as they could. J.P. was a snow skiier, Baylee was Mother Nature, Brock was a dead dirt bike rider and Kamryn was an Asian Princess.

So Bummed!!!!

So there is a favorite yogurt place that I love to go to called Hogi Yogi. I have been going there for a yummy chocolate yogurt with Reeses Peanut Butter Cup since I moved here to Utah. When I lived in So. Jordan, there was a Hogi Yogi close by in West Jordan that I would go to often, then it closed and I was very bummed. Then another Hogi Yogi opened in Riverton and I have been going there for the last 10 years. That was also the place that I would take the kids to get a healthy yummy treat. So instead of going to Iceberg or Arctic Circle for a fattening ice cream, we would go to this yogurt shop to get non fat yogurt. Well, I drove by there today with J.P. and had to pull over to the side of the road, because the store has CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so bummed out!!! John, of course, is excited, because it wasn't the cheapest place to go, but again, it was healthier than all the other places. I AM BUMMED!!!!

50th Wedding Anniversary

My mom and dad just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was wonderful. My brothers and sisters all came to Hurricane, Utah to celebrate with them. We had such a good time. The grandkids did dances and lip synced to the Jackson 5 "I Want You Back". It was so nice to be together with everyone.

Bach Bach Bach

Well we got our second batch of chickens a couple of months ago and the kids have loved taking care of them. We had a few chickens about 2 years ago and they all ended up dying or running away. The kids were devastated, so we decided to get some more and get a legitimate place for them to stay in. We bought this coop and the kids painted it!!! FUN!!

Boating

John and I have owned a boat for most of our marriage.  He bought a beat up one when we were mabye married 1 year and have upgraded ever since.  We love to take the kids out and try to get them to try new things.  They probably love to tube the most!!!!  John, J.P. and Brock have mastered the wake board and have enjoyed learning how to surf  behind the boat.  I have learned to get up on the wake board but haven't quite learned how to stay up. ha ha!!!  Baylee and Kamryn are still a little apprehensive about trying those kinds of things, but I'm sure we'll get them out there sooner or later.  Lately, we have been going out to Sand Hollow Lake in Hurricane, Utah, it kind of looks like a little Lake Powell.  The water is usually very nice (warm).  We have been able to take lots of family and friends out on the boat also, which has made it even that much more fun!!!!  

CRUSH

If you go into my girls room you will see pictures of David Archuleta and posters that my girls made, all saying how much they love him.  Of course, it took me back to my Outsiders days, when I thought I was in love with the whole cast, ha ha!!!  Well, I was able to take Baylee and Kamryn to a David Archuleta concert and it made their whole year!!!  Of course, they didn't understand why they couldn't just go backstage and meet him and get his autograph, until I explained to them that there are thousands of girls that would love to do the same thing.  Well, they had a blast and enjoyed every bit of it.  (And, I did too, of course.)
