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!

Wednesday we took Jace to the MTC. It was pretty strange to see him walk through that door and go his way, but I'm very proud of him for the choices that he's made! He's a good kid! I'm sure the people in San Jose will love him!

Disneyland '09

We got back last night from our trip to California. It was fun as always! We didn't want to come home! We really didn't want to be home when we saw the snow! Ah Utah in the spring! We spent 4 days in Disneyland and California Adventure, which I have to say I think our kids like the California Adventure even more than Disneyland now?! I think it's just a little more grown up or something. I am a Disneyland girl though! I love it! I love the way it makes you feel like a kid again and all the sights and smells, and tastes, mmm churros! Anyways, I can't wait to go back next year, and I have to say that the only good thing about your kids getting older is that we could go on all the rides this year. Sydnee is tall enough for everything we wanted to do so that was fun. We also spent a day in Long Beach, we went to the Pacific Rim Aquarium, it was neat but extremely crowded! We spent a day(or half a day) at the beach, it was a nice day like 73 degrees but down by the water the wind was blowing so it got kind of chilly! And I have to give an unpaid advertisement to the Hampton Inn and Suites, if you are going to Anaheim you seriously should look into staying here! They are so friendly and the beds ROCK! Which is the most important part to me! We have to have a suite cuz we have so many kids but it's nice cuz there is a kitchen and it has two seperate rooms so if someone wants to sleep they can and you can watch tv or whatever in the living room area. And it's right on Harbor Blvd so it's close to Disneyland. Anyways, we had a blast, it was so good to see the sun and wear flip flops for a while!
