Davis becomes a BEAR


Turning 9, meant Davis advanced to the next level in Scouts... from a WOLF to a BEAR! He had worked hard his first year and completed his first level in Scouting. Nice work, Davis!

Family Night at Ranger Stadium

Some friends of ours invited us to a Rangers game in their Corporate Suite! We felt pretty spoiled in such nice seats, complete with our own private bathroom, kitchen, and living room with a TV for bored kids. Ridiculous! It was pretty cool and we had a great time with our friends.


Since the game was free, Don indulged the kids with way too much cotton candy. A treat they definitely don't get very often. (Speaking from an orthodontist's daughter)




Success! We tired them out and bedtime was a breeze......

The Birthday Boy!

How can my little boy possibly be nine years old? Where does the time go?


Birthday requests? Crepes with strawberries and whip cream for breakfast and apple pie for the birthday cake.




Happy Birthday, Davis Boy! We are so glad you are part of our family. We love you!

Cypress Springs Lake

Our good friends, Jeff and Abby, invited us to spend the day with their family at their family's lake house in Cypress Springs. We had the best day! It was a beautiful day and the water was so warm. Some skiied, some tubed, some just went joy riding in the boat.



Abby and I went on the tube and were laughing so hard we were practically crying! Then Abby drove the boat while our husbands were on the tube and she gave them the ride of their life. They were hanging on for dear life, but eventually got thrown off at the end when Abby let the rope slack and then floored it! Ouch!




It was the perfect way to kick-off our summer vacation!

"I'm ready!"

I sent all of my children to their bedrooms to "get ready" for a Ward BBQ we were attending. A few minutes later, Ethan came downstairs and said in all sincerity, "Can I wear this to the BBQ, Mom?" looking like this.......


We probably would have let him if it wasn't over 100 degress outside that day. Maybe.

Field Day

During the last week of school, the kids had a day filled with sports and games and activities. They had a great time and it was fun for me and Ethan to walk around and watch all four kids compete and play. It would be my last time to have all my children in ONE school together!
