Ice Cream -You Scream!

The other day Curtis, the kids, and Jenn came out to Cottonwood and got ice cream cones. Jenn let Taryne taste hers and then lets just say THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK! She LOVED it!

When they got home Austin just gave her his. Curtis-the good husband he is-took pictures for me. I thought they were way cute!

Tomorrow I am leaving for San Francisco! I am sure there will be more to post when I get back.:)

Is that smoke I smell?

Last Tuesday the Enterprise Fire Dept. had a cookout and invited their families. It was quite fun. They pulled the firetruck out and let the kids explore it, and we ate some yummy food. Everyone on the Dept. got into their getup and we took pictures.

Curtis is second from the right in the front row.

The kids LOVED playing on the firetruck.

Taryne loved the food and even found a little friend.:)

We really appreciate our volunteer fire dept.

New Season Begins...

GO BRACKENS!!
Monday Curtis started the fall season of men's softball. The league bumped them up from D3 to C4. The kids and I really enjoy going watching Curtis. It is a bit warm-OK FREAKING HOT!- right now there in St. George, but we will SACRIFICE. :) Monday they ten-runned the other team and won. The second one they lost. I don't know why-beats me!

On the Move and a Great Breakthrough!

Taryne is 8 months old now and she has hit some milestones this last month. This last week she just started crawling! Backwards at first, but now FORWARD! She is exploring everything, and climbing everyone and everything! :)

She also cut her first TOOTH! My other two kids cut theirs at between 4 and 5 months, so we have been expecting teeth for quite a while, and now one has finally arrived.

Can you see it?

I Wanna Be a Rock Star!

Here are our Rock Band pictures. It was a lot of fun! Trav TOTALLY ROCKS at the guitar! I TOTALLY STINK at the drum especially. Everyone else just did their best and ROCKED THE HOUSE! LOL!

NOTE: If you look close you can see how much my mom wants to be a Rock Star. :)

Our July 4th Weekend

We had a fun July 4th weekend. We began by going to St. George Thursday night to the movies. We watched Wall-E. Really Cute! The first movie that the kids sat and watched the whole thing without even asking to go to the bathroom. Even Taryne watched most of the movie before falling asleep. We spent the night at Trav's and then we all went to Quail the next day. It was a HOT day-perfect day to be on the water. Some of us should have applied the sun block a few more times but we all had fun.


It was Taryne's first life jacket experience. She was NOT happy for the first while but as you can see she did finally decide it was not that bad.

After the lake we went back to Trav's and had a cook out. We didn't even make it to the fireworks. Jenn made us banana foster and then we played Rock Band until late. Jenn arranged for us to have GREAT ROOMS at the Marriott that night, AND an AWESOME BREAKFAST the next morning. {NICE!} Thanks Jenn! :) And by the way, if anyone is ever looking for a fast and DELICIOUS breakfast-go to the Marriott breakfast buffet(The omelets are WAY YUMMY!).

Girls Day

When the boys went to L.A. we girls decided we would go check out the new Rec Center in Washington. I thought it was way fun. Taryne LOVED it! Sammy thought it was fun but was bummed because she wanted to go down the hydro tube but they wouldn't let her go with her life jacket. I thought it was a little weird that they don't allow any floaty things-just life jackets in the pool. Taryne enjoyed the little swings and fountains. Sammy really liked the lazy river. It was a fun pool! Thanks for the referrals. :)
