Knott's "SCARY" Farm

Over fall break Courtney was with her friend Haley in California for the week and Tyler had also gone with a group of his friends(Jenna, Dallin, Dallas, etc...) over to California to Disneyland and to the beach! Jessica and Dillon were feeling a bit left out. So we decided to grab a couple of days and fly on over to Cali for a quick trip to Knott's! It turned out to be soooo fun! We met up with Courtney and some of her friends and they came to Knott's with us. We spent the day doing the regular park stuff and when the park closed at 5:30 we went to dinner at The Olive Garden and then went back to the park for the really FUN part!

"well...we knew it had to happen..."

The Pony Express

Montezuma's Revenge!

Tubing the Rapids!

Crazy Kids!!

the doll factory...a super scary maze!

KNOTT'S ~~S.C.A.R.Y ~~FARM!

The park re-opens at 7:30 p.m. after dark and all the employees are dressed in MONSTER costumes! The whole park is foggy...you can't see anything! You're walking along minding your own business and all of a sudden a monster is in your face or just walking along side you, or stalking you, walking behind you and you just know he's there and won't leave you alone!! It's the freakiest thing I've ever experienced!! So SCARY! But So Fun! The park closed at 1:00 a.m. and then back to the hotel for a bit of sleep to catch a flight back home in the morning! Like I said...quick trip.

p.s. maybe even freakier is the eyes on Jessica? I tried to get rid of her red eyes...and I screwed them up!! haha!! Now she looks like a bit of a monster! fits right in!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

HOMECOMING 2009

Tyler and Brooke

...and of course, a pic with his bff JESSICA!

Proud Mama

✁ I'm so proud of her! ✁

Jessica has been working at Sport Clips for a couple of weeks now...and though I know it's not her "dream" job, she is doing so good! She has been working so hard. She hardly has any time for herself anymore. Between working a lot of hours, going to college FULL time and getting her service learning hours for one of her college courses done, cutting and coloring hair here at home for me and grandma and other nice people who call her (which she loves to do by the way, cuz that's what she would "rather do") and then also trying to help me out here at home when I'm at work, she has been a pretty busy little girly! I'm more thankful than she could ever know that she's my daughter! I LOVE HER!

oh...and I love my "new" fall hair ❤

MILEY

MILEY CYRUS CONCERT!

So, I took Jessica, Courtney and Brooklyn to the Miley concert on Friday night. We had so much fun! It was a good concert although a bit short (Miley sang for about an hour and 5 minutes only). She's still young and probably trying to preserve her vocal chords...but maybe could have sung for a bit longer?? Jessica and Courtney really enjoyed all of her songs and sang at the top of their lungs to ALL of her songs! Metro Station opened up and that was pretty funny for the crowd that was there. Won't even really comment on that. Miley put on a fun show, even flying over the crowd on a Red Harley at one point singing Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll!! Miley started her "Wonderworld Tour" show breaking out of an iceberg! All in all, we had a really fun night together!

The ICEBERG

"GIRLS NIGHT OUT"

"THE RED HARLEY"

"It's All About The Climb..."

Fun show...Thanks MILEY!

Toro Golf

Tyler had his first 3 day golf tournament with the Mountain View golf team this last week. He did soooo awesome! He was on a 2 man team with his good friend, Mike Willett.

Here is a quick round up of what we've been up to:

PINETOP for a some cooling off at the beginning of summer

and a little horseback riding.

And of the course, the GO-CARTS!

A Day Trip to Santa Barbara, California!

We went to the airport early in the morning and caught a flight over to Santa Barbara. We heard this was such a fun day trip for the Us Airways employees, so we thought...what the heck, why not! It was Chris, Me, Jessica, Courtney and Dillon (Tyler was at Lake Powell) Well, once we got over there we walked the mile over to the beach (which wasn't a very fun beach at all) and thought to ourselves, what are we doing here? There isn't much going on ...no-one to play with and no food! Well...there was some gross sandwiches (yuck)! Not sounding like too much fun yet, I know! So, after a couple of hours of just hanging around at the beach we walked the mile back to the airport, rented a car for 20 bucks and drove into town and found the real HOT SPOTS where there was more action happening! That's when the fun began! All in all, we ended up having a pretty fun day and it all turned out pretty good!

Santa Barbara is kinda cool!! ☼

STADIUM OF FIRE

JULY 4, 2009

Provo, Utah

SheDaisy and JONAS BRO's performed with Glen Beck as MC

We sat so close to the fire works I actually got some ashes in my eye! OUCH!

I've never had the pieces from the fireworks actually landing on me before, but it was a really cool show and a fun concert! We even got to see the Jonas Bro's up really close before the concert started - just luck really!

CANYON LAKE with our friends the Anderson's!

We LOVE the lake...and any chance we can get to go -

even if it means 5:30 a.m.! Really?

The Anderson's in our ward invited us to go to the lake and they like to go really early, I understand that's when the water is good and everything, but seriously? That's when sleep is really good too!! But...we had a super fun time and we were super happy that we got to go! Especially since I got to get some great shots of Tyler landing his tantrum! Here is the video we made of that day! Super Duper FUN!

More summer fun coming..............whew!
