Tyce's 1st BiRtHdAy!!!!!!

I was able to go to Denver and celebrate this little stinkers 1st birthday!! I went out with my parents, and 2 sisters....we had so much fun!!

This is us being dorks on the plane...I swear Jess can never take a normal picture!

Ok this is a family joke!! Last time that we were in Denver, we all went to Target and Justin bought him some Pj's just like these and he wore them to my parents on Christmas! haha. I found these in Target and I took them off the hanger and pulled them up over my clothes and had to get this picture for Justin, we are twiners!!!!

Taya was getting a little crazy one night and I thought that for her sake and Aaron's sanity, I would read and sing stories with her! It was great, I would sing in an oprah voice and she would bust out laughing!!!

This is the day of the party.....we played this game out back after eating our yummy food! Of course Jamie and I SMOKED Jess and Randi.......Also down at the bottom picture, this is the girls helping each other get ready......and dad was a little sleepy!! haha

Randi is an amazing cake decorator......takes after mom!!! Jess helped her make these cute animals out of gum paste! Jamie and I just sat back and watched and told them how good they were doing:) The picture in the bottom corner is a picture of the horse up close because his head is down eating the grass so you can't really see his face and I think that it is so cute!!!

Poor Tyce.......Randi let him dig in and then sprayed him off with COLD water!!

He got in the bath and all cleaned up and opened presents!!!

He was so tired after a long party.....I SNUCK in because he was crying (which is a no no) and I just couldn't stand it.....I had to pick him up and snuggle with him! It was great, I just took a nap with him but I totally got BUSTED by Randi:)

Later that night Aaron's mom came and watched the kids and we went to the mall and to PF Changs....YUMMY!!!

We all got up and went to church with the Eudis' and went back and watched a movie and then had to say our goodbye's! I hate goodbye's but atleast I know that they are coming for Thanksgiving!! I hate missing the kids grow up and watching it from a blog! Thanks Randi and Aaron for letting us crash your house for a few days......we had so much fun! Love you guys!!

1st day of school.........

Branson was the first one to leave bright and early........his bus comes at about 7:15am! I can't believe that he is going to intermediate school...6th grade!

The night before he had his clothes all layed out and ready to go, dad gave him a great blessing and I think that it helped calm his nerves.

7:10am....William knocked at the door and they were off! I was so proud of Branson, he is just growing up to fast and doesn't need mom to take him to the first day anymore!

In this picture are his friends...Nick Jensen,William Benson,Branson,and Connor Buehner.

He came home and said that he had a lot of fun!!

Chantry was so excited about her outfit and her shoes.......eventhough she came home with blisters!! She is now in 4th grade and she was VERY nervous, but dad also gave her a great blessing which helped settle her down. I took her to her class and I was so glad to see a familiar face that she knew right when she walked in! She did great, her teacher told me that she thought that she was going to cry a couple of times, but she held them back! Good job Chantry I was so proud of you!!

Sairee is already in 1st grade! She was so excited to eat lunch at school!!

She felt so big the night before when daddy gave her a blessing, she was beaming! I was nervous that she would freak out once we got to the school, but she went right in and did so good! She has such a cute class.......we are so proud of you Sair-bear!!!

Eme Benson came over and got the girls for school.......they were excited to hear the knock on the door!!

I feel so blessed to have all of you in my life and that I am your mom!

I love you guys!!!

BYU SUMMER SOCCER CAMP.........

Branson and I went up to Provo and he loved the BYU Soccer camp. We went with our friends The Buehner's and Branson liked it more than he thought that he would. This was his coach for the week, Tyler. Branson didn't know how much he would enjoy this experience, his team had just finished summer games and I think he was a little burned out! The first day of the camp they were assigned coaches and found out who was going to be on their teams.

The coaches told everybody that after day 2, 3 and 4, they would be giving out a BYU ball for the ones that had hustled and stood out. Branson received the first ball and was so excited. The coach couldn't believe how hard his kicks were. In one of the games he SCORED from mid field!! I think he even shocked himself. Some kid that was older than him accused Branson of taking steroids......it was pretty funny. He said, "there is no way you can kick that hard and far.....you must take steroids!" We got a good laugh out of it since Branson is not very big for his age!! haha The picture below is the head coach of the soccer team. He knew Branson and Conner by name after day 1......they were all calling them "The St. George Boys." I told Brooks and he wanted me to correct them and let them know that they are The Santa Clara Boys!!

The camp was from 8am-noon......so we decided to go to The Gateway and get some school shopping done! The boys just loved the snow cones!!

Branson and I being weird before going to bed.......The Buehner's like to get to bed early, but Branson and I were wide awake so we had nothing to do. We did go and visit the 7-11 for a slurpee everynight.......the guy working even knew us from going everynight!!

Branson and Conner getting ready to kick some butt!!

I'm so glad that Branson had such a good time because now I know that he will want to go next summer. We also went to 7 peaks and an awesome movie theater! Next year he will be old enough to sleep in the dorms, but i don't think that I am ready for that so he will probably hang out all day with the boys and then sleep with me....I know, but I am just weird about that! I'm lucky though, Branson doesn't really like sleeping other places so I don't think that he will fight me on it:)

You did great buddy keep up the good work!!

PS.... I couldn't find my camera before we left so that is why I didn't get any action shots, this is all from my phone!!
