Just Some Pictures!

Here's some pictures of the Utah State Fair Performance.

My kids think they need to take a bowl of

cereal in the van to eat on the way to school. =)

She's so photogenic!

Oddessey was asleep on the couch, and Lowynn was

giving her kisses. =)

Watching cookies bake.

Playing outside, and being silly!

Utah State Fair Performances!

They worked for 1 week on these dances! They worked every

night the whole week. On their Ghost dance, they
choreographed it on Friday night, then performed on
Sunday day. They did such a good job! I enjoy watching
them perform, and seeing all of their hard work pay off!

There is 6 dances, here is 4 of them!

Another Performance!

Derrick has another performance coming up!

It is on Sunday, September 8, at 3:30.

It's at the State Fair, and he is performing

for a half hour! He won't be performing alone.

One of his sisters, and a few cousins of mine,

will be performing, too. It would be awesome

to see some familiar faces in the crowd! 

How In The Heck Did It Get In Our House?

Oddessey was awake, and said she needed to go

potty. It was about 8 am on a Saturday, so no 

one else in the house was up yet. As we got down

our stairs and started to head into the 

bathroom, I heared a bird chirp. Now, we have big 

trees, and I hear them all of the time, but this one

was really loud. I was a little puzzled, and just

continued into the bathroom. As Oddessey

was finishing up, I heard the bird again. I 

said, "I think there's a bird in our house, 

Oddessey." She laughed at me and said, "No."

I then heard the bird chirp and it's wings flutter. I

started to walk into our dining room, when a 

bird came flying into the kitchen. It scared me,

so I screamed. Then I started laughing, because

I had NO idea how in the heck that thing got

in our house. Oddessey was a little worried,

and was saying, "we need to tell daddy."

I was just going to go open our front door, and 

hope that the bird would just fly out. Derrick came

down and said my scream woke him up. The 

bird was in the kitchen, and we couldn't get

it to fly out. It was flying against the window, so 

Derrick grabbed a box, caught the bird,

and took the box outside. & the bird flew away.

It was quite funny, and a nice way to start

out a busy Saturday! =)

First Day Of Preschool!

It's always a hard thing to do, but it 

is so much fun! I get so excited for my

kids! I can't believe that my baby girl is old

enough for preschool! Time is moving way

too fast for me! My kids are so much fun,

 they were so excited to go to school!

Lowynn could be going to kindergarten,

but we have decided to wait till next year.

He just turned 5, so rather than him being

one of the youngest, he'll be one of the oldest.

Here's to another school year! My

kids are growing up too fast!

Barbecue

Stewart and Erin invited all of the siblings, and 

their dad and Chris, over for a barbecue. It was

fun to visit with everyone and to have all of the 

little cousins running around playing, or should I

say fighting! ;) They sure get excited when they see

each other, giving each other big hugs and 

kisses. Saying, "I really missed you! I'm so glad

to see you!" & then the whole time they're 

together, they are yelling and screaming at each other.

Then playing really cute together, then back to

the fighting! They are all so dang cute!

Shaylie and Oddessey

All of the little kids, minus Ariana. This time they

were actually playing! =)

Oddessey HAS to hold Ariana a couple of times.

Thanks for a fun night, Stewart and Erin!
& everyone else, as well! =)

Carnival!

Derrick had a talent show to compete in, so 

we decided that after that, we would take the kids

on the carnival rides. Derrick won first place, and 

won some money. He's so amazingly talented! After

performances, people always stop him to tell him

how awesome he did, and how he can move JUST

LIKE Michael Jackson. He is awfully good! =) 

The kids had a blast going on the rides. They are 

pretty much fearless when it comes to them, now.

Lowynn still gets a little nervous, but always

ends up liking the ride.

They both loved the Ferris wheel. They loved

how it tickled their bellies. 

This is so cute! She is SUCH a daddy's girl!

He is a mommy's boy. =) I love it! 

They are just getting too big!

They also LOVED this ride. They were screaming

and yelling, and putting their hands up. =)

They went on this one a few times. They thought

 it was pretty fun.

We were kind of nervous about Oddessey going

all alone, so Derrick went with her at first.

I love these next 2 pictures!

Then we got brave, and decided that she could

go by herself. & she did just fine!

It was such a fun day with my little family!

A big thank you to my mom! She's the 

one who bought their wristbands. =)
