Falling behind.....

I have fallen way behind on keeping up with my bloggin'..... I know each and everyone of you are just completely upset over it! :) Here goes an attempt to catch you up on the last few weeks......

- Alan and I took another trip to Las Vegas to catch the Kenny concert.... it was really amazing, especially our seats..... We stayed at the MGM and had a total blast. Took in the O show on Saturday night and lounged by the pool.... took advantage of the IN and OUT burger on our way home!
- Daybreak Elementary carnival was totally fun. The kids got wristbands and was able to ride and slide and even climb all they wanted. Our plans were to stay for maybe an hour but it turned into 3.... they had way tooooo much fun!
- Oh the fun Stake Primary Activity...... It was all about the Book of Mormon and Mormon himself was even there... Makayla went as Sariah but Landon just went as the cool dude he is! It was really cute and the kids enjoyed it!
- Makayla, Abbey, Landon and I decided to stalk the HSM set..... we drove by and they were filming.... they would not allow photos to be taken but I.....
- We went to the Salt Lake Bee's game with Landon's baseball team... it was really lots of fun and we sat front row right behind the Las Vegas 51's pitchers and catchers... they were really nice and allowed me to take a few "extra-terrestial" photos! Bee's won, it was all good!
- After the game, we took a burger break at Hires Big H...... it's not a Whataburger but it was good!
- We took a trip to Park City to take advantage of the Alpine Slide..... fun fun fun we visited with our friends and the kids had fun playing with Gavin! Their front yard is a great background for some great pics!!

IT'S OFFICIAL.......

I will be taking on Texas starting July 17. The kids and I will be flying to the grand ol' country of I mean state of TEXAS. I have girls camp end of July so the kiddos will be staying while I fly back to take on the bears and possible wolverines in Heber. I will then return to DFW on the 2nd of August to allow my family and friends to marvel in my presence until the 16th!!! :) I am soooooo excited! MJ said she was splitting her days as follows: 15 days with meme, 5 days with Savannah, 5 days with Jessica, and 5 days with Kenzie...... Landon says his entire vacations is split only between meme and Austin! As for me, I plan to be available for anyone who wishes to hang with me..... I enjoy the sun, shopping, late nights with lots of fun conversation, eating Whataburgers and Rosa's, scoping out QT for toe lovers, offending anyone in sight with my obnoxious sunglasses, monsters and milk duds, mc donalds french fries...please NO FRY SAUCE (nasty), and the occasional long walk on the beach or Arcadia park will do!

Sunday family day!!! OH What fun!

After church we came home and had heated up pizza for lunch and then, as we do every Sunday, took a nap!!! MMMMM so good. Of course our kids were not so excited about the nap thing and ended up watching church movies for an hour..... The weather is absolutely beautiful right now so we decided to take advantage of it and take a little road trip to Temple Square to see all the beautiful flowers. We had such a great time and it was ALL of us for the first time in a long time. Having a teenager we don't have as many "complete family" days as we used to. So this day was very special...... take a look at out slide show and see if you recongnize anyone...... besides us of course!!! ENJOY....we sure did!

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN....... THANK YOU TO OUR TROOPS

A big thank you to our troops, the men and the women, that have and are continuing to fight for our many freedoms. Today is a special day to remember those who have sacrificed their lives to save ours.....they should be thought of daily..... all that we do and all that we say are products of the blood that has been shed to give us those rights. I am honored to be called an American and live in this amazing country. Thank you is not enough but I do want to express my appreciation for those who don't even know me but are fighting for me..... and my family...... You are truly heros!

IRON MAN = HOT MAN......

Today being Memorial Day we as a family went to Chick fil A for lunch and then off to the popular Memorial Day hang out.... the movies! WE saw Iron Man and I have to tell you... it was just awesome! Loud and crazy super hero movies are fascinating to me! And Robert Downey Jr. has NOT lost his hottness factor! He is a, I mean the movie is a must see! :)

I'll take a #5 8 pack with half coke half diet coke......

Oh what a glorious recovery. After my complete devastation of losing the title of 2008 American Idol, well I didn't lose it personally but I felt like I did when David Archuleta's name was not announced...... I was able to recover quicker than you can say "Eat More Chicken" thanks to the new Chick fil A that has opened just about 139 seconds away from me. It is the only chick fil a within 10 miles and is now my focus to help me get over the AI disappointment. Thank you Chick Fil A! I vow to visit often!

What the freak????

Ok.... so all of you can understand my utter disappointment that little David was not named 2008 American Idol. I have come to realize that there was I believe heavenly hands in this.... ok, so it sounds silly but come on..... he's too "good" for hollywood.... I do know that we will be seeing an Archie CD in stores soon.... but look at it this way..... he's not owned by FOX and he has more freedom to become more successful and sing what HE wants to sing..... so David, you will always be our American Idol.... with benefits!!! We all know WHO the more talented one was last night and it's not the crowned "winner"!!!
