Island Park! Oh so my favorite place in the world!! We went to Big Springs, Yellowstone, floated down the river and just had a great time!! Can't wait to go again in the spring!!

Wow so I am a blogger slacker!! It has been 6 months since I posted anything new, and it's all Facebook's fault! heehee But hopefully I've redeemed myself a little with a few new postings here! I'll try to never get so far behind again, cuz I really do enjoy doing a blog and love seeing my families blogs too! Happy Spring everyone!!

Syd's first Jazz game!

I kinda think Okur is a hottie...McKenna and Marissa, good times!

We took the kids to a Jazz game in March. It was fun! One of my wish list items in life is to have season tickets, maybe someday!

Mckenna is taking a journalism class and for that class she had to take pictures of a bunch of stuff. These area some picures she took of Sydnee and herself. I think she did a great job!

This cracked me up, I think we had 20 kids, and it was one heck of a pile of shoes!

At first it was girls in one corner boys in another....

It didn't last long! They had fun I think, here are most of them.

In December Kenna hosted her first boy/girl party, it was so much fun! She is so lucky to have really great friends that I love having in our home! If all kids were this awesome the world would be a better place!

Sydnee with Savannah and her new big bike!

Colby got like 14 Transformers, He's pretty easy to make happy.

McKayla got softball gear and more clothes than should be allowed.

here is McKenna, she wanted a softball bat this year, oh not just any softball bat it HAD to be a 2010 Easton Synergy. After Santa got her that he was broke! :) She was very happy and had better hit many home runs!

Christmas was great this year! We had all the usual family parties(my favorite) and Santa(Syd's favorite) and the kids got everything they could want! We are very blessed and this Christmas we really tried to keep the spirit in our holiday, it made it all the better!

Then Thanksgiving! One of my most favorite days of the year! It's always so amazing to get together and share this day with all of my favorite people! Love you all!!

In November we went to Disneyland, we had never been there at Christmas time and it was so neat! We tried to beat the Thanksgiving rush, but didn't quite make it, and it was crowded! But we had a great time! We drove for the first and last time! It wasn't horrible, just something I don't care to do again! :) But I am all too aware that one of these days McKenna isn't going to want to go places with us, and so for now I'll go every time we can and continue to make great memories! (Also if one of the pictures is sideways, it's because I couldn't get it to cooperate and it's late so I gave up!)

Wow I am so behind. Kind of the story of my life! I'm going to try to do some catching up! Here is the only picture I have of Halloween 09, our computer crashed about that time and I lost a lot of stuff, mainly pictures so here is the one and only!

Family Fun!

So we just got back from Fairview, another get together is over they just go by way too fast! We had an "auction" that was way fun, the picture with Todd is when he "auctioned" off Hayes, he was a very popular item! The only sad part was missing those who could't be there! Jed, Leslie, and family, you were very missed and we were all thinking of you! The pinatas were a blast, the impromtu water balloon fight was a riot! Grandma won I think? And of course the food was awesome as always! I think we should totally start a Gordon Family cookbook! Anyways, I hope this is a tradition that goes on for many years, and next year my hope is that everyone is there healthy and safe! To see all my pictures of this weekend just checkout the slide show to the right!

Taylor Swift Concert!

Taylie, Sue, Tawnie, Kayla, Jenny, Sydnee, and Kenna

OMG Taylor Swift touched us!! And they both cried!!

We had great seats! I had to zoom in little but we were pretty close!

Last night my friend Sue and I took our girls, McKenna, McKayla, Sydnee, Tawnie, and Taylie, to the Taylor Swift concert in Salt Lake. McKenna and Taylie are best friends and were cooking up this idea since last year when they heard she was coming to town. They had everything planned from eating first at Tepanyaki, to the concert, to Jamba Juice after! Unfortunately Jamba Juice closes early but the rest worked according to their plan! I've been to many concerts in my life and I have to say I have never seen anything like this! It was at the Energy Solutions Arena(still the Delta Center to me!) and it was sold out, so you can imagine the sound level was crazy! But she puts on one heck of a concert with a dozen outfit changes and an amazing stage that changes with each song. It was a blast, but the best parts were watching my girls, watch their idol! McKenna is never washing her arm again because Taylor actually came right down the aisle we were sitting on and Taylor touched McKenna's arm and her friend Taylie's hand! OMG! Thanks to Brandt(and his ticket "agent") for getting us great seats! It was truly something I know these girls will remember forever!

Dance Review!

Tonight was Dance Factory's dance review. McKayla had 5 dances, and Sydnee performed 3. It was so fun, McKayla has such an amazing talent and it's fun to have people come up and tell us how fun she is to watch. I may try posting a video but I've never done that before so we'll see. Sydnee's age is just to fun to watch! It never fails there's at least one kid that just stands there and bawls! I'm just glad it's never been mine. Macfarland's did these darling pictures, thanks guys! This is McKayla's ballet costume, she also has a hip hop dance and costume and a tap dance and costume, the cute boy is her clogging partner, wish I could think of his name! They are a dang good pair! Anyways, I'm glad to have a break for a month or two but it was a fun night and thanks Grandma Thurza, and Nana and Earl for coming to watch!

We are the Champions!!

This is what we did this weekend! It was the Icebreaker softball season opener tournament in Logan. Both Mckayla and McKenna's teams were in the tournament, and 2 days and 12 games later McKenna's team the Stealerz came out as champions!! It was a long couple of days but so much fun and such awesome weather!! We couldn't ask for a better coaching staff they are so awesome! And I want to thank Toni and Trevor for coming and supporting our girls it was so nice to have some support there and someone to cheer with!! Love you guys! Way to go Stealerz! Can't wait till next weekend!!

Fun with Friends..

Last weekend we went down to Lindon to have a barbeque with my friends from high school, the cook out was at Clark and Amanda (Fish) Pew's and we had a blast! Colleen(Mitchell)and Micheal Carrassco were there with their kids, and it is so fun that we can get together and have our kids get to know each other! We can't wait to do it again!

So my awesome sister in law Kim was able to get us tickets to Wicked!! We had such a good time! We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and it was amazing, then came Wicked! My mom and I saw it on Broadway last year when we went to New York, and I was so excited for my girls to go. It was awesome! I am so jealous of those amazing actors and their incredible voices! It was such a fun time, Aunt Stephannie, Grandma Thurza, Kim, Kim's sister in law Lori, and me and my girls are in these pictures. I hope we can do this again soon it was the best!
