My Heart Melts...

Auntie and Brie~isn't she a doll!?

Mormon Mosquito...I mean...Miracle Pageant

We decided to take a trip to Manti for the Mormon Miracle Pageant. The view and the pageant were incredible! Not so incredible....the mosquitos!!!! Massive amounts of them! One WHOLE bottle of mosquito repellant was no match for these pesky creatures! EWWW!

This is me trying to protect Dylan from all those mosquito's. If you look REAL close you can see that I was being a pretty good deterrent. Right between my eyes there is a HUGE mosquito! Sick! (This photo has given us much laughter...had to share)

Couple of seconds later....mosquito gone.

Brielle and Mommy..not cold...just trying to keep the bugs away....have I mentioned mosquitos?

Bryan's going to hate me for this photo but I thought it was cool...doesn't he look superimposed into a photo of the temple?A great show and MANY mosquito bites later we were on our way back home. Good times. Next time we'll bring TWO bottles of repellent!

Scera Pool

For our Friday Field Trip we went to the Scera Pool. I love this pool! It's got things for all ages...it suits our big family perfectly! Grandma was in town along with Aunt Tanya and the kids, who drove up for the day from Salina. We had SO much fun!

Sophie, Grandma Linda, and Maddie

How cute are these 2 bathing beauties!?

I love-Love-LOVE the look on Brie's face in this one!

Kaleb, McKay, Easton, and Jace~missing the birthday boy Garet in all photos...where was he?

Auntie Laura and her babies

We're gonna need a whole week to recover from 13 kids and 6 hours in the sun...but it sure was a good time!

Go Crushers!

The ONLY sport Jace wanted to play this Spring was SOCCER!

We have no idea how it happened but he ended up on an ALL GIRL soccer team. The league is co-ed ...maybe they had way more girls sign up than boys? Thankfully our little ladies man didn't care a bit. He was happy to run alongside the ladies in the pink socks. :)

Handsome little "Crusher"

Jace and his teammates Ella and Bree

Way to go Crushers!

Round Up Days Parade

We got our favorite spot at the Lehi Round Up Days Parade.  It was a super hot day so we set up our umbrellas for some shade.

Easton and Jace waiting for the parade to get to our spot.

We were watching the Purtschert girls for the week while their mom and dad were in Switzerland. Here is Heidi, Camry, and Emily waiting for the parade to start.

Brielle and Dylan

Awww! Cute babies. Loving the parade.

Quote of the Week:

Jace: Mom...I wish we didn't get divorced from our ward.

Needless to say we felt a little lost on Sunday due to our recent ward split. We will miss CV2 but we're excited to be back with old friends...and new...in CV3.

The Karate Kid

So for our Field Trip on Friday I had to take my little "karate kids" to see the new Karate Kid. I thought I would be disappointed....so not! Loved it! The kids loved it even more! My boys actually starting cheering at the end when Dre won the tournament. A must buy for our family!
