Park City

 I got the day off at the last minute so we drove up to Park City. Since I love to travel and I don't get out much, Park City is my little piece of tourist heaven. (I know its sad:I love to travel and don't get out much?!?)

 Austin insisted on doing the trampoline and David caved since we only go about once a year.

 In line for the alpine slide

Austin finally has a smile on his face. He was actually pretty bad on this trip and gotten the Wii taken away from him when we got home,

WICKED!

Addie LOVED Wicked! She was a little confused on what was going on but once I explained it she got it. I wasn't sure if she was liking it or not because she was so quiet during the whole show but after it was over she couldn't stop talking: "Holy cow mom that was so good!"  "I want to see it again!"  "Thanks for taking me mom!"  That was huge for me because when I originally bought the tickets, it was going to be me and David, but after I took her to Beauty and the Beast she said she wanted to go to Wicked so I was feeling pretty guilty. Next week is Aubree's turn! (Story to follow)

Soccer Tournaments

I don't realize how my life revolves around soccer until we go to a tournament. Its 3 days and 4 games. (and they are always an hour away!) On one of the days their was a 6 hour gap between one of the games and I had 2 kids plus the little boy I babysat! Luckily one of the girls grandparents lived near by so we hung out there. Aubree is so lucky to be on such a great team! They are all really close friends. On one of the games I was running late (took 2 wrong turns!!!) and was late to the game, but as I was walking up to the field I was able to see Aubree's awesome goal just in time!

Love Our Views

David and go on a walk every night and this time I brought my camera! I love our views where we live. I haven't editted these yet and I don't think I'm going to!

My Yard

 I spent years getting my yard ready for Addie's baptism and 3 months right before doing EXTENSIVE weeding, dead heading you name it. Then the big day finally came and as luck would have it: IT WAS TOO WINDY! NO ONE WENT OUTSIDE!!!!!! So I am now posting pictures i took the other night. The great thing about a camera is you can only show what you want to show!

Big Cottonwood Canyon

 We went on a family hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon last weekend (left Addie home. Dave usually ends up carrying her the whole way.) She had the house and tv to herself and didn't call us once!

Happy 4th

 I was soooooo bummed this year! Aubree and David signed up for the 5k parade run. I bought AUbree new running shoes and she went running a couple of days before to practice, but the night before she banged up her knee during soccer practice and wasn't able to do the race! I had a hard time watching the runners go past during the parade.

 We went to Sugar House park during the day and then our neighborhood had a BBQ.

Aubree hanging out with her best friends (and her soocer buddies) Love our neighborhood!

Say Bye-Bye British Teeth

I got my braces off today!!! I never had braces as a kid and have always been soooooooooooo self-conscious about my teeth. I even entered a horrible teeth contest (I can't remember the actual name but I'm sure it was something along those lines!) 300 people entered and they asked 25 people to come in so the dentist could get a closer and look to see if you would win the make over. I was one of the 25 and bawled my eyes out when I saw on TV that I wasn't chosen.  I have waited for this day for 2 1/2 years (longer if you count those yucky teenage years!) David is taking me out tonight for dinner (I'm craving a Rocky Mountain Carmel Apple!!!) and a whole new wardrobe!!! (OKay maybe just 1 new outfit)

Crazy Weekend

 I have been planning for this for 3 months and it is already gone! It was HORRIBLE weather the whole entire time my family was in town for Addie's baptism, but we managed. We were able to spend a few days with my niece who just happened to be in town. We did a lot of things inside, but we still had fun spending time together. I am soooo glad its over though! Life can get back to normal and I'm not weeding for a month! (okay maybe just 1 week)
