DANCE ATTACK!!

Bryns and I had such a fun time at Dance Attack this year!! It was in Park City and we stayed at my grandmas condo. Bryns friends Kelci, Kwincee, and Maddison and their moms stayed with us. The girls would dance 6 hours a day!! They took from amazing choreographers. Joey Dowling who just choreographed for So You Think you Can Dance and another guy who was the choreographer for the Michael Jackson tour that didn't happen because he passed away. The girls had so much fun swimming after we got back to the condo. We also went to the Alpine Slide one day!! Bryns loved the Alpine Slide. She said her favorite part of all was when we went shopping at TJ Maxx. The girls all got pink roxy purses that matched!! This summer we went to Disneyland, Nauvoo and Lake Powell...when I asked Bryns what her favorite trip this summer was she without hesitation said Park City Dance Attack. I'm so glad that she has such cute friends that she enjoys being with and dancing with!! Great Job Bryns at Dance Attack!! It was so much to be with you!! I love you!!

SWIMMING LESSONS

The kids have been anxiously awaiting the time all year when they could start swim lessons with Miss Jessica again!! They have loved taking swim lessons with her again this summer and they have improved so much. Stockton can swim completely on his own this year! He has become a great swimmer and very daring. Beckham is a fish and we can't ever seem to get that kid out of the water! He jumps right in the water without any care of how deep the water is. Brynlee is an amazing swimmer. She is learning all of the strokes. Miss Jessica says she is an amazing student because she takes all of her corrections and fixes the things she tells her to work on. I think that must have come from dance.

PICKING RASPBERRIES IN OUR YARD

This year at our house we had so many raspberries!! The kids loved going out and picking all of the raspberries!! It was great because it would keep them occupied for hours at a time. The top picture is of Beckham. I couldn't keep a diaper or pull up on him all summer long. Or clothes for that matter. Every time I would turn around he was naked. I think I have dressed that kid about five times a day!!! You gotta love boys and summer!!! I love you Beckham!!! The kids helped my mom and I make lots of raspberry jam!!!

STOCKTON'S BASKETBALL CAMP

At the beginning of the summer we signed Stockton up for a month long basketball camp. He was adorable. He was so focused and determined even though he was by far the shortest kid in the whole camp. And he was the only five year old. I was so proud of him! He worked so hard and he never got frusturated or gave up. I love you Stockton!!

HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND BARBEQUE

At the beginning of the summer Jen and Jeff Kirkham planned a barbeque with old friends from high school. It was in Heber at Jeff's parents home. It was great to see old friends and the kids had a blast running around and playing together. We even had several out of state people who were able to make it. Liz was here from Alaska and Jen and Jeff from Texas!!
