Surprise

Many months ago Jerry called and asked me how much do I love my kids? Well alot was my answer, well the Jonas Brothers where coming to the Stadium of Fire lets try and get tickets. We had tried for Hannah Montana the year before but couldn't get them. So we tried and guess what we got them. We didn't tell the kids till the morning of the 4th of July after the Lewiston parade. They went nuts so we packed and where on our way! Megan with a permanent smile and Olivia danced in the isle and would scream after every song she entertained all the people around us! All we could do was smile and laugh! The girls dancing and singing along!

I believe on the big screen is Nick and the three on the front singing. We didn't have spectacular seats but they where okay! We also got to see Glenn Beck before the Jonas Brothers.

More of them singing!

We had an awesome fly over and they had the pilots on the big screen talking through all of it as they left Hill Air force Base! It was cool!

Someone in Brad and Pam's ward couldn't use there tickets so they got 4 seats and where able to go with us. Brookann and Scott came too. Did I mention that Olivia adores Scott she holds his hand and is right with him at every turn!! We had a great time they where a 2 sections over from us!

All of us waiting for it to start

The stadium as if filled up! We have never been to the Stadium of Fire it was a great experience one I hope we repeat! And if you have never surprised your kids I highly recommend it! It brought tears to our eyes how excited they where! We had a super time!

And Moving on.......

Next between rain storms in June we where off to Manti for the Pageant. We haven't been since Gracie was a baby. We head down to Brad's(Jerry's oldest brother) and meet up there with the family. Brad took us to a cafe in Mapleton I believe called the "Model A" it was pretty good. Celiece and the boys ate with us but only Parker got to go the rest of the way to Manti to see the pageant. I can't believe how good Parker was he was better than my two little ones. This is Brad, Pam and Parker. Clair and Helen (Jerry's parents) Jamie with Nicole and Nancy

We had a good time the weather held out till the end. Nathan's parents where kind enough to let us stay in their cabin that was about a half hour/ hour away from Manti I don't remember where it was. It was great to not have to drive another couple hours to go to sleep. Thank you so much again Celiece and Nathan.

Olivia's Birthday

Well where to begin since Olivia's graduation was the last thing next was her birthday on June 9th! She turned 5 can you believe my baby is 5 and is in kindergarten but that is for another post. We had 2 birthday cakes one at Grandma Helen's. Here is she is blowing the candles out!Gracie tourmenting Olivia after she got her present. Blowing out the candles on her cake at our house on her birthday! We went bowling and to dinner at Sizzler that is what she picked to do for her birthday! I love that we just got to do something fun with the family!

The Birthday girl bowling.

I can't believe how big she has gotten. She loves to go bowling and after all she could talk about what she wanted to do for her next birthday which at this point is a whole year away!

Guess what!!!!

Guess what tomorrow is the day! I know you have all been on pins and needles for an update and it is coming tomorrow. We just finished uploading all the pictures 4 cards full of pictures from a summer of fun. We have had computer problems and then waiting to get the cards loaded on the computer and we are finally ready. So plan on almost a post a day!!! Yahoooooo I'm sick of seeing the same thing every time I log on too!

Olivia's other Graduation!

Well I again can't get the pictures to move. I have done a preschool with 4 other moms this year and this was there last day and graduation day. This was the treat we got. The peanut butter cup had a graham cookie and then it should have had a licorice rope for the tassel it was so dang cute! This Olivia in her hat and gown and her buddy Mark by her. Waiting for her name to be called to receive her diploma.

It was the cutest graduation!
