Lexi's Birthday weekend!

Happy Birthday Lexi!

Lexi turned 11 today! She has had a fun filled weekend! She didn't get just one day for her birthday, but several days! It was UEA weekend so Lexi and I started it out by going to the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. She loved the movie, but it made her want a dog even more then she usually does. I guess we are mean parents, we just won't give in to her pleas! On Sunday we had all of the family over for cake and ice cream. She loves it when all of her cousins come over! We had a lot of fun with all the crazy kids. On Monday, Lexi had a friend birthday party. It was a spa party, where the girls got pampered. I have such great sisters who were willing to come and help out with nails and hair. My sister Trisha was the hit of the party with all of the up do's that she did! The girls had a blast! I can't believe how fast the time goes! It seems like only yesterday that I was holding a brand new baby girl. She is the love of our lives! Happy 11th Lexi!

Fall is in the air

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the smell and the sights! We decided to take a little drive today while listening to conference. We went up Provo canyon and stopped at Bridal Veil Falls and then on up to Sundance. The leaves were just beautiful! We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful State. I love spending time with my family and feel so lucky to have them in my life!

opps!

Poor Lance was trying to do a good deed today and ended up in the hospital. I was leaving today to do my many errors that I seem to always have to do, when Lance came running down the garage stairs to give me money (I never will deny money)! Anyways, he missed the last step and fell on his ankle. Of course him being a man, he tried to shake it off. He went to a business lunch and half way through lunch he looked down at his ankle and it was he size of a baseball. Needless to say, he ended up in the ER. Luckly it was just a really bad sprain. The doctor was surprised after seeing the x-ray that it wasn't broken. He was a lucky boy today!

Family time

We spent friday night at Lances brothers house. We had such an enjoyable time talking and laughing with everyone. Lexi got to swim all night long. I think she would live in the pool if we had one! It was cold for us, but Lexi didn't seem to mind! It is so nice when family can get together and enjoy each other's company. Thanks John and Kindra for a great night!

Happy 45th Boyd and Carol

My mother and father in law celebrated 45 years of marriage on Sept. 4th. They truely love each other very much and it always shows in the way they are with each other.

Way to go Lexi!!!

Lexi made her goal this year! We challenged Lexi to go without sugar for a year. If she was able to accomplish this we would give her $100 dollars! She is very motivated by money! Her goal for this year is to go without sugar and work on portion control. I think that I need to take a lesson from her on will power. I am so proud of her, she is one wonderful kid!

70 years of wedded bliss!

My grandma and grandpa Clove celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on Aug. 31st. We celebrated by having a party for them. I was able to see many cousins that I haven't seen for many years. I can't believe how fast time flies. It was great being able to catch up and see all of their kids and find out what everyone has been up to! My grandparents are wonderful people and I was thrilled to be able to spend this time with them.

1st Day of 5th grade!

Holy Cow! Where does the time go?! Lexi started 5th grade today! It seems like only yesterday that we were taking her to Kindergarten. She had a great day. She loves her class and her teacher. This is the first year that she has a male teacher. She told me that he is very into Sponge Bob! I guess that keeps you young at heart. She was a little nervous about going to a new school and making new friends, but she is an outgoing person, so I don't think it will take her any time at all to make new friends. Here's to a great year!

Happy 45th Mom and Dad!

My mom and dad celebrated their 45th anniversary on the 17th! They are such great parent's and I'm glad that they are mine! We spent the afternoon at their house and made dinner for them. Half of the family was able to go down to their house. They were very happy and appreciative that we made the effort to celebrate with them. Here's to many more years filled with fun and laughter!
