Great Scenery at the Golf Coarse

The Golf pro at work, he's the best thing to look at.


We ran into a few friends at the coarse. We saw about 5 deer. The kids thought that was just so cool to see all the deer.



This was my favorite scenery. Out of the middle of nowhere we see this little boy peeing, Where are his parents!!?? (Like father like son, I didn't think I should post the picture of Mark doing this.)

Family Night

The kids have been asking Mark to take them golfing for the longest time and he agreed to take them if we all went for family night. The kids had a blast and they had the best teacher. Mark was so good with them, he was teaching them how to stand, how to hold their clubs, we all had a great time.


Here is Albie showing off her great putting. With Mark being so into golf he got the kids their own clubs. Albie's, of coarse, are pink!


Garrett didn't quite get the hand of holding the clubs the right way, but he sure had a great time. We couldn't find Garrett's clubs, so yes, he is using Albie's pink clubs. He didn't want to use "girl" clubs, but if he wanted to play he had to use them, so he got off his "boys can't use girl stuff" kick and played with the pink golf clubs.


Haylie loved the scenery. She rode in the cart with mom and just loved being outdoors.


Here is me and Haylie watching from the golf cart. I did hit on th efirst hole, bu tmy first hit my ball got lost in the trees and Mark didn't bring any more balls so I was out of luck. It was still so much fun spending time with the family enjoyin gthe outdoors.

Swimming Lessons

The kids had swimming lessons for the past two weeks, they started at the old Payson pool and then got to finish at the new Payson pool. The kids loved it. Albie is the best little swimmer, she now can swim a little bit by herself. I am so proud of her!
Here she is doing her back float!


Here is Garrett doing "motorboat", it was his favorite.



Haylie was just so happy to go to the pool everyday for two weeks. She only tried diving in the pool twice!

Albie's Birthday Bash

With Albie's birthday being on the 4th of July she has always had a fun water party and BBQ for her birthday party. She had a friend water party on the 3rd and then the annual family party on the 4th. I can't believe she is 6 already. Time flies by, she'll be grown up before I know it.

We got a couple of pools out and put the slip and slide on the hill and the kids entertain themselves. It is the easiest party to plan, the kids just play.

It was a perfect day, the weather was nice and it was overcast so the sun wasn't baking us all day. It came out every now and then, but for the most part it was perfect. We had burgers and salads and was perfect. The only thing we missed this year was the firework show at the end. Happy birthday Albie, we love you!!!

Stadium of Fire

It was Albie's birthday and we had tickets to the Stadium of fire so we took her cousins Mailee and Necia with us. We had amazing seats, thanks Katie, we were in the North endzone on the third row from the field. They were great seats.


When they were bringing part of the flag on the field it came down the north endzone that we were sitting and the kids had a blast helping bring it onto the field. It was pretty amazing to watch!
The coolest part was watching the skydivers come in. They flew right over our heads and when they were landing it looked like they were going to land right on us. It was amazing!


I think the highlight of the evening was watching Miley Cyrus on stage. We weren't that close to the stage but we had binoculars to get a good look at her. The kids were standing on the bleachers cheering, my favorite was Mailee who would scream, "Miley Cyrus, I love you!!!!" She just kept saying that over and over again. It was so cute! She mostly sang her new songs which the kids had never heard before, but they didn't care they were up dancing to all of it. Then came the fireworks. They were great!! We left a little early so we could beat the rush and we could watch the fireworks from the walk to the car. Overall, it was a great time at Stadium of Fire.

Sister's Weekend Getaway


We went to St George for the weekend with my sisters and mom. It was so relaxing and fun we had no kids and no worries! We shopped, ate and most of all relaxed getting pedicures, massages, taking in movies, and laying by the pool, what else could a mom of three little kids want? It was so fun to spend it with my 4 sisters, sister-in-law and mom. The only sad part of the trip was my picture taking abilities, I took my camera, bu tthis was the only picture that I took. It captures how much fun we were having and who spear headed the whole trip. That's mom!! You will have to check out my sister's blog to find out the rest of the details, she is much better at the blogging thing. Thanks Tami for capturing all the memories in pictures.
