Kaysha

Have I ever told any of you that I absolutely adore my sister Kaysha? She is simply the best. I wish I could be as cool as her. I am so lucky. Oh, and sorry to all my other sisters, but she is my favorite.

Super Fun Week- Day 5, Reese baby blessing

So, it has been a crazy and fun week. After driving home from Scofield last night, and getting home at 1 am, we were a little on the tired side trying to wake up and be back to Orem for Reese's baby blessing at 9am. We are very glad that we were able to be there though. I love all my nieces and nephews, and love watching my brothers and sisters be parents. It is so great! Reese is such a little cutie, and she was a perfect angel in her pretty white dress. Grant and Karen are such cute parents to little Gavin & Reese. We love that family! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day GraKar GaRee!

Super Fun Week- Day 4, Scofield

Yesterday, we went up to the property to spend the day with Brady & Allison & Joey. We took the kids to the dock to "fish" and skip rocks. Then Casey made us a dutch oven dinner. He made BBQ chicken, baked beans, and potatoes. My kids don't like BBQ sauce, so they were punks about eating it, but everyone else loved it. Later, we went to the lake for the firework show. It was the perfect night, and the fireworks reflecting off the lake was beautiful.

Super Fun Week- Day 3, Miley Cyrus rocks the house!





Thanks to my friend Shea's dad, we were able to buy tickets to the Stadium of Fire this year to see Miley Cyrus. My girls are big Hannah Montana fans, so while Cy went to the rodeo with Grandpa Mike, and Hadlie spent the evening with Cuckoo, Casey and I took the Ryllie & Max to Stadium of Fire. The show was sooooo AWESOME! Blue Man Group performed and were great and Miley Cyrus was AWESOME! My girls had so much fun singing and dancing while she performed. And the fireworks went on for 30 minutes and was honestly the best firework display I've ever seen. And trust me, I've seen a lot of fireworks displays. I'm expert on the subject. Okay, a little sarcastic there, but seriously, it was a sweet firework show. I had so much fun, and I love watching Ryllie and Maddux get so excited over a teen idol. It is so cute, and reminds me of when I was younger. My teen idol was Paula Abdul. Things to notice in the picture with the girls... Hannah Montana rockstar outfits, designed by them... Hannah Montana shirts... gross pizza place we ate at before the concert.... oh, and my husband pulling a cross-eyed dumb head nong nong face.

Super Fun Week- Day 2, The Disco Drippers



Dancing with grandma & grandpa.
Noelle & Marshall


Love Casey's t-shirt. Cute baby Hoo Hoo too!

Thursday night our family went with Mike & Lori, Marshall & Noelle & Summer, up to Park City to see the Disco Drippers. The Canyons Resort has a free summer concert series, and this band is one of our favorites to go up and see. It is so beautiful up in the mountains and we get to ride the gondola up, dance to fun music, have a picnic, and watch fireworks. We love doing this each year with the Hansen's. All my kids love to get their groove on. They are hysterical to watch dance. I think we are turning into a bunch of yuppies. :)

Josh Gracin
On Monday night we went to UVSC's concert celebrating that they are now UVU. They had Josh Gracin, Collin Raye, and Joe Nichols perform, and afterwards had a sweet firework show. Kenice and Adam came with us, and we had a blast. I couldn't believe they had such awesome country singers and only charged $5 a ticket. I have always loved Collin Raye, I have seen him in concert four times now, and have loved every show.

Maddux in the Parade


Maddux was in the Lehi City parade with her dance group. She did such a great job dancing that we took her for icecream and to see Wall-E to celebrate.
