Taylor turns 11 (July 15)

On Taylors birthday we left to go on a family vacation to Red Fish Lake in Idaho. Some family members went up the day before and had our cabin all decorated for when we arrived. She was totally surprised. They did a great job decorating.





After Taylor opened her presents we had lunch and then went down to the lake. For dinner Taylor wanted to have pizza so we all drove into Stanley and ate at this place called Sawtoothe Luce's.






I made Taylor a birthday shirt that she had to where that day. I thought it turned out pretty good. I was quite impressed with myself.


That night we came back to the cabin and had cake and sang Happy Birthday to Taylor. Afterwards we went down to the lodge and played on the grass and of course we ended the night with the favorite birthday tradition (The Spanking Train). Taylor all I can say is that you had a great birthday thanks to everyone.

The best part was the next morning the first thing out of Jaidens mouth was that it isn't Taylor's birthday anymore. You could say that she didn't like her sister getting all of the attention.

Stadium of Fire

We weren't supposed to have the girls this year so it was a suprise when the girls called and asked if we wanted to go to Stadium of Fire. They ended up having extra tickets so Danny and I and my brother went. At the last minute their dad decided not to go either so we met them at their grandparents house. It ended up being us and their aunt Megan and her sister Minon and their cousins.




Here is a picture of Miley. I wish so bad that I had a decent camera so that I could have gotten better pictures of her. For this picture I even went all the way down in front and it still didn't turn out



The best part is the para gliders and the Hill Air Force jets.




It was a surprise to have my cousin Jill Stevens (Miss Utah) there to sing the American Anthem. This will be the last time seeing her perform as Miss Utah because they are crowning the new one later this month.

4th of July 2008

We went down to Draper to my parents house for a BBQ. Danny had to stop at the store to get donuts for our little nephew Ayden, because he knows how much he loves them.

For the 4th of July, my mom and I wanted to try this new fruit trifle recipe my sister told us about. It turned out really good and we all thought it looked so festive that my sisters and I were all taking pictures of it.
