THE HOURGLASS DOOR

SO THERE IS A NEW BOOK OUT IN STORES AND IT IS CALLED
"THE HOURGLASS DOOR", AND IT IS REALLY REALLY GOOD, THE AUTHORS NAME IS LISA MANGUM AND I AM HER VISITING TEACHER, SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE BOOK A FEW MONTHS BACK, AND IT HAS BEEN REALLY FUN TO GO VISIT HER EACH MONTH WITH UPDATES ON HOW THE BOOK IS COMING ALONG. WELL IT IS FINALLY IN STORES, DESERET BOOK, AND MOST BIG NAME STORES. I HAVE TO TELL YOU I AM NOT JUST SAYING THIS CUS I KNOW HER, BUT THE BOOK IS REALLY REALLY GOOD. SHE DID SUCH AN AWESOME JOB AND I AM SO PROUD OF HER. EVERYONE SHOULD GO OUT AND GET THIS BOOK, YOU WON'T REGRET IT, AND IT IS A TRILOGY SO THERE ARE TWO MORE COMING. HERE IS THE PARAGRAPH FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK.

"ABBY'S SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN: GOOD FRIENDS, CUTE BOYFRIEND, AND COLLEGE APPLICATIONS IN THE MAIL. BUT WHEN DANTE ALEXANDER, FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM ITALY, STEPS INTO HER LIFE. HE TURNS IT UPSIDE DOWN. HE'S MYSTERIOUS, AND INTERESTING, AND UNLIKE ANYONE SHES EVER MET BEFORE. ABBY CANT DENY THE GROWING ATTRACTION SHE FEELS FOR HIM. NOR CAN SHE DENY THE UNUSUAL THINGS THAT SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN DANTE IS AROUND. SOON ABBY FINDS HERSELF DRAWN INTO A MYSTERY WHOSE ROOTS REACH INTO SIXTEENTH CENTURY FLORENCE. AND SHE UNCOVERS A DANGEROUS TRUTH THAT THREATENS NOT ONLY HER FUTURE BUT THE LIVES OF THOSE SHE LOVES."

SO GO BUY IT, YOU WONT REGRET IT.

ZACH AND KAIMENS NEW PETS

WE RECENTLY GOT THESE LITTLE GUYS (WELL I SHOULD SAY GALS) FOR ZACH AND KAIMEN, THEY ARE ROBO HAMSTERS, AND THEY WON'T GET ANY BIGGER THEN THEY ARE IN THESE PICS. MY KIDS LOVE HOW SMALL THEY ARE, AND I LOVE HOW CLEAN THEY ARE. THEY DON'T SMELL AND THERE CAGE STAYS CLEAN AND SMELLS GOOD FOR LIKE A MONTH. THERE NAMES ARE BUTTON AND ABBY. MY KIDS LOVE TO PUT THEM IN THE EXERCISE BALLS AND WATCH THEM GO. THEY ARE SO FAST!

CATCH UP!

SO I HAVENT POSTED SINCE EASTER AND THOUGHT I BETTER PLAY CATCH UP. MAY IS SUCH A BUSY MONTH FOR ME WITH BIRTHDAYS, MOTHERS DAY, AND SOCCER, OH YEAH AND JUST HAVING FOUR KIDS. SO HERE IS A LITTLE OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO.
THE TWINS AT ZACH AND KAIMENS SOCCER GAMES
KAIMEN WITH HER BEST BUD, EASTON, HER COUSIN. THEY PLAY ON THE SAME TEAM TOGETHER, BUT I WOULDNT REALLY CALL IT PLAYING SOCCER, THEY JUST LIKE TO RUN AROUND AND PLAY WITH EACH OTHER.
HERES KAIMEN WAITING TO PLAY SOCCER FOR THE FIRST TIME, SHE WAS SO EXCITED. BUT SHE IS SO MY LITTLE GIRL, SHE GETS TIRED OF RUNNING AFTER THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES. THAT'S MY GIRL.

HERE'S ZACH RUNNING FOR THE BALL, HE JUST LOVES SOCCER, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, AND HE HAS SO MUCH FUN AT IT.

EASTER

JUST A FEW PICS OF THE FAMILY ON EASTER, AND A COUPLE AT THE EASTER EGG HUNT ON SATURDAY THAT WE WENT TOO WITH GRANDMA.

TU TU BALLS

WELL I GOT MY TUTU BALLS DONE, I LOVE THIS IDEA. IT IS SO CUTE AND THEY JUST ADD THAT LITTLE SOMETHING TO MY GIRLS ROOM. THANKS MICHELE FOR THE DIRECTIONS AND FOR POSTING YOURS ON YOUR BLOG.

ZIONS NATIONAL PARK

SO WE RECENTLY WENT TO ZIONS NATIONAL PARK WITH SOME FRIENDS OF TYSONS, IT WAS A BLAST AND IT IS SO PRETTY THERE, I COULD HAVE STAYED THERE FOREVER. IT WILL BE FUN TO GO AGAIN WHEN THE TWINS ARE A LITTLE OLDER AND CAN WALK INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PUSH STROLLERS, THAT LIMITED US TO THE TRAILS WITH PAVED PATHS. IT WAS A NICE NEEDED GET AWAY AND SOMETHINE I AM GLAD I COULD TAKE MY KIDS TO SEE. THEY LOVED IT.

I need someone else's opinion

SO I RECENTLY BOUGHT SOME NEW LAMPS FOR MY ROOM, AND NOW I AM NOT SURE WHICH ONE LOOK BETTER IN MY BEDROOM. SO HERE IS WHERE YOU COME IN, I NEED YOUR OPINION. LOOK AT THESE TWO PICTURES, AND SEE WHICH ONES YOU THINK LOOK BETTER IN THE ROOM WITH THE THINGS I HAVE. THE SHORT ONES THAT LOOK SHINY ARE LIKE A BRONZY BROWN COLOR, AND THE BASE OF THE OTHER ONES ARE ACTUALLY A DEEP CHOCOLATE. SO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANKS

My Hubby is so sweet!

So a couple weeks ago Ty sent me flowers for no reason, don't ya love that. They were so nice, I loved them. Then he planned a date night for us, we went to dinner and stayed at the Little America, it was such a nice get away, and it was nice to spend some time just the two of us. I love you honey!

Jumpin Jacks

So last night we went to Jumpin Jacks, this place that has a whole bunch of those blow up bounce around things. We went with all my kids and there cousins to let all the kids get a chance to play together. Tysons twin sister is in town with her family from Wisconsin. It was fun to get together and let the kids go crazy.

Kaimen is 3!

Kaimen turned 3 on February 10th, I know I am slacking. But she is such a big girl and she had so much fun at her birthday party. She is such a sweet little girl and I have been so lucky, she makes me laugh at least a million times a day. I love you baby girl!

Draper Temple

So it has been a while since I uploaded my pictures onto my computer so here are some of the things we have been doing. Some not so recent.

Zions National Park

So we are going to Zions National Park in two weekends with our kids and some friends of Tysons, and I have never been there, I was just wondering if anyone has and what they thought of it? We are staying at the Zions Lodge, it is actually the only lodge in the park itself, so I am hoping we will have fun, and hopefully it will be fun with small kids. So if anyone has been there with there kids I would love to hear how it went. Thanks

Question for ya?

SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANY OF YOU, I AM CURIOUS IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO SAY GOOD OR BAD ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS. THEY ARE BUILDING A NEW ONE OUT BY ME, AND ZACH HAS BEEN ACCEPTED TO IT, I AM JUST CURIOUS IF ANYONE HAS HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THERE KIDS IN A CHARTER SCHOOL OR IF THEY KNOW OF ANYONE WHO HAS LIKED OR DISLIKED THEM.

Ayden's first haircut!

So I took Ayden to Cookie Cutters to get his very first haircut today. He was so good, he just sat there and let her cut it. He looks like such a little man now, I love it and hate it all at the same time.

Ayden's first haircut!

So I took Ayden to Cookie Cutters today to get his very first haircut. He was so good, he just sat there and let her cut it, if that had been Averi that would have been a struggle, but not Ayden, he is just so calm in everything he does. He looks like such a little man now. I love it and hate it all at the same time.

OUT WITH THE OLD!

I AM SO EXCITED, I GOT A NEW BEDROOM SET TODAY. SO MY HUSBAND'S DAD HAND MADE HIM A LOG BED YEARS AGO, AND HE THEN BOUGHT A LOG DRESSER AND NIGHTSTAND TO MATCH. SO WE HAVE HAD THAT IN OUR BEDROOM SINCE WE GOT MARRIED, AND ALTHOUGH I REALLY LOVE THE BED AND THE FACT THAT HIS DAD MADE IT, I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE HUNTING PICTURES AND DEAD DEER ON THE WALL. SO TODAY I FINALLY GOT TO TAKE DOWN THE DEAD ANIMALS, AND THE HUNTING PICS. IT IS SO NICE TO GO INTO MY BEDROOM NOW AND SEE THE NEW STUFF.
