Miley...

Tuesday night I had the chance to take Kaylee to the Miley Cyrus concert. She has been so excited, patiently awaiting the day. I was able to take advantage of a one day sale on the tickets and only paid $16.50 per ticket. We had a great time with friends and Kaylee enjoyed the concert. It was nice to have a GIRLS NIGHT!

This is Kaylee totally envisioning herself actually standing next to Miley.

Kaylee is the best person to take to a concert. She was up dancing and singing the WHOLE time. I think she was more entertaining then the actual concert. Unfortunately Miley was sick and so she had to keep leaving the stage to throw up (I assume that's what she was doing.) And because she was sick, the concert wasn't that great. Her throat must have been scratchy because she didn't sound like herself. Despite it being a bad concert, I was happy we went. Kaylee loved every second and didn't notice that anything was wrong.

Randomness....

Our life has been pretty boring lately. But here and there we have a few random moments that have stuck out to me.

1. Lately I have had more time to myself then I am used to having. I thought this would be a good thing. But without the kids here to distract me I no longer have an excuse to why the house is a mess, the laundry isn't done, dinner isn't on the table etc, etc. AND I now feel guilty taking a nap. HELP! I need my kids back, I can't handle all this responsibility!


2. Kaylee is loving life right now. She just started dance. Can you imagine? A whole hour that she gets to stare at herself in the mirror!


3. Kade is totally obsessed with sugar. For breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime in between he is asking for a treat. His new thing is to find a soda can and ask me if he can have a Coca-COOOLA. We don't even drink Coke in this house so I'm not sure where he heard Coca-COOOLA.

4. I have a child that is 8 living in my house but I'm not really sure who he is. He wakes up every morning gets dressed, gets breakfast and he is just singing and dancing around the house. He sings, "I'm SOOOO excited for school today." I think it's Brayden, but Brayden has ALWAYS hated school! I will thank his teacher for the amazing transformation, and I will enjoy his good mood in the morning (Now I just need it to rub off on me.)

5. Kaylee is enjoying the opportunity of meeting new friends at school. The other day she came and said that her friend had lost her lunch box at school and didn't have anything to eat. She said she just knew she wouldn't be able to eat what I packed for her so she split it up and shared it with her friend. Then that night she prayed for her friend to find her lunch box. Either she was worried she would have to share her lunch again, or she just really is that sweet and prays for EVERY little thing!

6. This just made me smile....

I would love to be a part of something like this.

7. Oh ya, and this too... This picture was taken like 2 maybe even 3 years ago, but I laugh everytime I see it. This is the kind of destruction that happens when I decide I need a nap. She isn't upset in this picture because I was yelling at her. She's just upset at herself for making a bad choice.

8. Mike and I get to go to our 10 year high school reunion this weekend. Go CHHS!!! Mike doesn't really see this as a privilege. Honestly, I don't really either I just want to see what people look like.


9. In about 2 weeks it will be 3 years that I have been serving in Primary. I have been able to work with so many amazing people and I have learned SO much. We get to go out tomorrow night and celebrate with my awesome presidency at my favorite place....Texas Roadhouse.


10. Sister Matsumori from the General Primary Presidency was in the same temple session as I was in today. It was neat seeing her. I kept turning around looking at her like she was some celebrity or something. I wanted to ask her for her autograph:) BTW I love the Oquirhh Mountain Temple.

Labor Day

We spent Labor Day in Good 'ole Park City. We had a great time. It was an awesome way to celebrate the weekend. We started out by celebrating my Dad's birthday on Friday. I had bought a big chocolate cake from Costco. *Note to self-Don't purchase this cake ever again.* I had a couple of bites and that was enough to make me sick the rest of the night. In fact I think it made a few of us sick. It was so rich and chocolatey I don't think we could handle it (weak stomach's...i know.) We had a sweet hotel room at The Silver King. We could have just stayed in the hotel and the kids would have been happy. They had a blast checking out all the cool things it had to offer like "sweet lamps," beds, showers and tiny little bottles of shampoo. Can you believe we got to stay at such a cool hotel? Actually it was really nice it was just funny listening to them talk about all the little basic things that they thought were so "cool!"

Saturday morning we went on a beautiful hike. I was a little worried about my endurance and wondered if I could make it. Then I figured if I was making my 8, 6, and 3 year old go on it I better toughen up. It ended up not being so bad. Kaylee and Kade only had to be carried on the way down. Afterwards we spent the rest of the day at Park City Mountain Resort riding the Alpine Slide and the Alpine Coaster. The kids loved bouncing on the tramp and rock climbing. Mike and a few other people ended up doing the zip line as well.

Sunday we went on a bike ride. Do you know how long it's been since I've been on a bicycle? The trail was flat so I thought this is a breeze. We got going and I was LOVING it! Well, I guess I didn't notice we were going slightly downhill and the wind was at our back. I kept encouraging us to go on further. Finally my Dad said we should turn around. Thankfully he did! It was brutal. I decided I am truly an out of shape wimp. Afterwards we checked out the Farmers Market they have on Main Street. It was fun to walk around and see everyone's booths, not much to offer though.

We also had a great time staying up playing games, eating yummy carmel corn, and swimming in the pool. Thanks Dad and Laura for a great weekend!
