I was kidnapped!

This week I was kidnapped from my living room as we sat down to start family night. The door bell rang and the next thing I know I am being blindfolded and lead outside. I had no idea who had taken me or where I was going! (I really had no idea)


I was put in a car and away we went.

We got to a place where they sat me in a chair and that is where I finally saw who had taken me and where we were. And much to my surprise I was at the nail salon where I was getting a pedicure with two of my favorite friends, Jen and Amy!!

We then went and got dessert at Applebees where we got to visit. It was so much fun and I am so grateful for wonderful friends!

Thanks Jen and Amy!

Kaylee's Bowling slumber party

Kaylee decided to have her party at the bowling alley this year. They had a lot of fun. We then came home and had cake and ice cream and did presents. After that they all settled down to watch a movie. They didn't go to be until 3am. There is going to be some tired kids this morning.

They all have jaw breakers in their mouth!

Kaylee made her cupcakes with Ally and Ashley and did all the decorating. I thought she did a great job!

She is getting old! Too many candles to blow out!

She got her favorite things for her birthday.....money and gift cards and candy!:)

Happy Birthday Kaylee, now I will be taking a nap for the rest of the afternoon!

Kaylee is 12!!!!

Happy Birthday to my little girl who is not so little anymore. I can't believe 12 years has gone by since Kaylee blessed our lives. I am so grateful for this girl. She is not always perfect but she is pretty darn close. I love her tons!

Tonight she is having some friends over to spend the night and we are going bowling. It should be fun and I am sure I will have more pictures to post soon!

She finally got her Ipod Nano that she has been dying for.

Girls camp 2009

This year I was able to attend Girls Camp! I was a little nervous about this whole adventure and by the end of the week I was totally worn out but I had a good time. This was Kaylee's first year and she loved it. I was glad I was able to be there for her this time. Maybe next year I will let her go by herself.(hehe)

Campfire was the best part of the whole day unless it went a little long but it was fun to sing songs, watch all the skits and listen to wonderful speakers.

Here is part of the group I was over reading their scriptures and writing in their journals! Such good kids, most of the time!

Kaylee making cards to send to Iraq!

Plenty of river play.

Kaylee doing her skit. She was a little embarrassed but she got through it.

We went on a 6 mile hike with the 2nd year girls and it was so pretty. I had a great time doing that. We brought a lunch and ate it at the top as we took in all of the beautiful scenery.

My birthday was during camp and the ladies surprised me with my favorite Costco cake! They are so sweet.

4th Annual Woodcreek Landing Block Party

We had a awesome block party the weekend before we left camping and it was so much fun. A lot of the neighbors pitched in and we kicked it off with a kids mini triathlon put on by Anna. We then did a daddy triathlon and Sean came in second. He was very tired afterwards. It was a lot of fun to watch!:)

Ashley and Kaylee got zebras painted on their face.

There was many fun games provided by the Ward family.

A Slip and Slide that Brooke did not leave!

We made teams and then one person had to lather up in shaving cream while the rest of the team threw Cheetos on it. The person to have the most in a minute won. Sean came in second, again!

We had 2 huge pinatas that were a lot of fun for the kids filled with candy and raffle tickets!

4000 balloons for a water fight! they were gone in about 5 minutes.

Water balloon toss!

Waiting to see who won the raffle prizes. I won a big gold canyon candle and a few other small things.

Pool playing in the hot sun!

Perfect day for all!!!!!
