California Pictures

What a fun time!

California Dreamin'

We headed out after Taylor's party and our first stop was Uncle Chris who treated us to a great BBQ, swimming and relaxing after our long drive. You can see Taylor sporting the GW hairstyle and the boys showing off their six-pack abs. We got up early Monday and had Dutch Babies with Uncle Chris (yum!) and then headed into Palm Desert. What a great time!! Swimming, making home movies, laughing with cousins, Tuesday Taco's, Fruyo's Yogurt, WOW its hot!!! We did make it over to Laguna Beach and spent the day at Crystal Cove. Just gorgeous! Wish we had a beach to live by - that is definitely something I miss living here is Utah. We stayed for a week and then brought the cousins back to Utah with us for some more fun!!

Happy 15th!!

So Taylor and Edward had a fine time on Taylor's birthday. She took him everywhere :) We took a few friends and actually went to see Harry Potter's The Half Blood Prince. Then it was home for pizza, silly string, and of course, looking at Edwards' poster!

little miss Taylor has lost her wisdom

Here lies Tayloroo without wisdom teeth. She doesn't even remember having this picture taken - that's how out of it she was. It took 20 minutes to remove four teeth etc. and over 30-40 minutes to get her to wake up again. Sweet little girl kept saying that she felt a little weird around her mouth? Is there something in my mouth mom? Yes Taylor and you will be numb for 3-4 hours...But Mom, I thing there is something in my mouth? Really Taylor??? It was very funny! So she survived and even managed to eat homemade ice cream for the 4th of July!

Fourth of July!!

Okay so not everyone gets their picture on the blog - but this was July4th around our house. Lot's of fireworks, marshmellows, bbq, and of course homemade ice cream! Not all of us had so much fun...poor Taylor got her wisdom teeth out :(

Summer Games - Go Rebels!

So let's see, the last time I posted we had returned from Hawaii - okay so it's been awhile. We had a terrific end of the school year and start of summer. We started it out at the Summer Games in Cedar City, UT. Evan, Taylor and I headed down with the USA Premier to see what we could do. The boys played terrific and FUN MOM was right behind them. We even had to try a little diet coke and mentos trick to get the party started!! Taylor and Rhonda have threatened to make me a t-shirt but I haven't seen one yet. The story goes that when I told Evan I could actually go to the summer games this year, because I would not be teaching, he replied, but I thought Dad was going. I said, I know but I can go this year and it would be do much fun.....his reply, but Dad is more fun... So I told Evan that I would be fun mom and we would have more fun than last year with Dad. The joke was - go ask FUN MOM she can't say no! Except for getting locked out of our room (they had to use a saws-all to get us in) it was quite an adventure. We had lots of good food, swim time and of course, soccer games. We had a pretty good record going in - but unfortunately we lost in the semi-finals to some orange team - I will not even name them!!! The refs got a bit heated but I won't just blame them - okay I'm the mom so I can blame them. The other team was even embarrassed about the refs. Hopefully they will not be back next year, but WE WILL!!! Way to go USA Rebels!
