What a weekend!!

This is my tribute to Wicked

So this weekend was tons of fun!! Friday night we went to WICKED!! It was good, I think the sound was a little off and it made it hard to hear Glinda. I think Josh enjoyed it!!I woke up feeling so sick the morning of and had to laugh because last time I saw it the same thing happened!! But the night turned out great! Bruce and Susan, the Crockers and the Miners had tickets that night too so we all went out to dinner before the show. It was a long night and we had to pay the babysitter a ton :) Sooo Saturday we went to see the Whatcotts new dog! Miss Lillie Lou/ Bruno is just the cutest little wiener dog. We swam and played until dinner time then headed off to the Kieth Urban concert!! This time my mom babysat all the kids. (Thanks mom you are the BEST!!! )We drove down to the Jobbing.com stadium with Lani and Sam and had a great time talking. I love my sister so much~Its my favorite when we get to spend time together!!!!We had awesome seats down on the floor just a few rows from the stage.It was a great concert minus the crazy whistler behind me! I think she did some permanent damage to my right ear! Thanks guys for taking us with you!!!

Me and my sis
This one with the rocker earrings!!

Oh yeah we were so close
This is the "sing it for me" stance but Josh and I know like 2 or 3 of his songs!! haha
Love this guy and his serious rocker face
This was really cool the grand finale I guess confetti falling really loud guitar playing you know good concert stuff

Dancing Queens

Eden Mae and Ivey are such good little buds!! They love to be together and have so much fun dancing and being silly!!While the boys were at school they had the run of the house!! They were wild, dancing and chasing each other! All dressed up in their tutus soo cute!!

City Meet ~ Way to go Cole!!

Cole made it to the city swim meet Thursday night!! He got 8th place in freestyle (he was the 1st alternate and ended up swimming) and got 3rd place in breast stroke!! He did such a great job ~ we are sooo happy for him!! He had great supporters at his meet~ Eden (she just loves her brother) Grandma,Nana and Papa, the wonderful Schnepf family too!!
It was a busy summer but a very fun! Both my boys did such a great job in swim team this year!! I loved watching them compete and watching their confidence grow!! I loved seeing them try their hardest and do their best! They are amazing boys!! I'm a lucky mama!!

Breast Stroke~This is Coles FAVORITE stroke!! Go kid GO!!

Wow the first day of school already!!

Off to school again!! The boys were excited and bummed at the same time!! Happy to go see friends and meet a new teacher but sad to not play all day!! But the 1st day was GREAT!!! They both came home totally thrilled!! Everything was just how they hoped it would be! Cole even said he didn't need me.That's wonderful! Although I missed them! The house is empty without them running screaming through it!! Its weird to just have the girls at home.Eden is bored already!! But we are off to a good start!! Looks like its going to be a good year.

Boat Ride

The park down by our house fills full of water when we get big storms. Erin and I have wanted to take a boat ride in this lake every since we moved into our house. Something always seemed to go wrong and we didn't get to do it! Well yesterday I called her and told her we have a date and at about 9:45 we were cruising the lake!!! We didn't have very good oars and Ivey wasn't super happy to be with us but it was great!! We laughed and laughed!! Erin was hoping that a cop would come and spotlight us and ask us to leave the lake!! Well we did it and now we can check that off our list! Thanks Erin and Lamar for getting the boat ready!! And sorry Lamar that there wasn't enough room for you in the boat ;)

Our dream finally coming true!!
We are getting pretty far out
Super happy Ivey
These are our oars Erin flip flops. We also had a garden ho it was really helpful!!!!

We are now over the pond and it is very scary ~ can you tell??
Our boat took on a little water disgusting!!!!!
So excited that we finally did it!!

Shoe fetish

My boys have a shoe fetish they get it from Josh!!

Primary Softball

Go Noah!!
Yeah Nate!!
These kids are awesome up every morning at 5:30 am (at least) They have done a great job and are great little players!! Yes all my kids went to the games!! We did miss a few. It was a lot of early mornings for them- they love to sleep in!! Grandma Nana and Papa got up early and came to show their support!! You guys are the BEST!! They had 1 week of practice and 2 weeks of games! Noah had such a great time!!! He loves softball and can't wait to sign up for little league. Thank goodness I have great friends that will remind me of sign up dates!! hint hint - I am too forgetful!!! So Noah got 1 home run that he is very proud of and had so much fun with his friends!! We really have the greatest ward. And to think 3 years ago I was so nervous to go to a new ward. We are really lucky to be surrounded my amazing people!!!

All the Fans!!
