Singing in the Rain

WE had a pretty good rain storm here and Cortlyn thought it would be a great idea to get the umbrella out. You have to know that it was over 90 degrees this day and as soon as that storm hit it was about 70 degrees. So Cortlyn and her friends Lauren and Kate got ready to go outside. Notice their outfits. I am loving the fuzzy boots with shorts look, the Wizard of Oz Dorothy shoes and the shoes that are too BIG. These girls are super cute. They were making me laugh. So I just had to get a picture to remember this day. Kenzie was also loving the rain. She didn't stay outside to long it was getting to cold for her in her "summer" clothes. But bare feet and all she was having a ball walking in the rain. A couple of weeks latter we had another storm that came through. We got pounded hard. It rained so hard that the water was running down our river bed and the water was flush with the bottom of the mailbox and road. It rained enough that Shawnee's window well was full of water and coming in. We had a little water damage on the carpet. No biggie. A couple of the neighbors had there window wells flood as well. It rained for over 45 minutes and I am talking monsoon rain. It was awesome to listen and watch as it came down. I ran out to the trailer to check that all the windows were closed. I was soaked. I had water dripping from my forehead just to get to the trailer it was worse coming back in the house. I was pretty wet. We sure were grateful for the wonderful rain that we did receive. Made the lawn green up a little more.

Crazy month of MAY

YES we went to the zoo again. Not sure what we were thinking. At least the weather was nicer this time around. We went with the cousins. The animals were all out and playing.
Cortlyn had a cheer squad performance. The Lion for UVU picked her up and turned her upside down. Cortlyn was giggling.

Perfect cheer poise. Way to go Cortlyn.


She also had a dance recital. Isn't she so cute. One more thing that she had was a violin recital. We didn't get pictures of that sorry we were in such a rush. We got there and you performed and we left because Shawnee had a dance performance at her school for the dance company.
Shawnee tried out for the drill team at Westlake High and made the team. GO SHAWNEE!!!
Hayden graduated from 6th grade. Next year I will have a child in each school. I am getting OLD!!! Kenzie has mastered the stairs up and down. She had to in order to keep up with the kids. Ty started riding his big boy bike for the first time and he loves it. He doesn't look where he is going so someone has to follow him around. He likes to look at his feet when he rides. I am just glad that May is over but the summer is only beginning and the calendar is already filled with things that really aren't that fun. So hears to a great summer and great weather.

One fine day

The weather was actually nice for a day. So the little kids decided to go play outside. Kenzie finally got to wear a cute summer outfit with sandles. Gotta love this picture. Love of a sister.

Isn't he the handsomest little boy you ever say!!!!


My cute little bug!!!



This is Kenzie's new favorite thing to do. Ride on the fourwheeler with Ty. He drives of course. I know only one person on at a time but when you have a little girl who is throwing a fit and can't do it herself you kind of have to break the rules. She was pretty mad when she had to get off.

{ Miley Cyrus Concert }



Miley Cyrus concert tickets are what Cortlyn got for her birthday. She was so excited to go. We took her to dinner at TGIFridays. When we got to Energy Solutions Building we counted as least 24 semi trucks and 6 big bus motor homes. We were a little early so we got in the line to get Cortlyn a tee shirt. Yes we waited 40 minutes, not sure what we were thinking. Metro Station started at 7:00. They sing shake, shake ,shake it. And come to find out it was Miley's big brothers band. At 8:00 Miley can on. She came through a clear rock that looked like an ice boulder. During her third song which was 7 things I hate about you. She ran off the stage. We were all thinking she is changing but after a couple of minutes she didn't come back and the back up singers are singing the song we knew something was wrong. She had the touch of the flu. But five minutes later she was back on stage and singing. She didn't put on the best show. You could tell she was not feeling well. But by the end of the concert she was doing better. Cortlyn loved the concert. She sang and danced to all the songs she knew. Miley flew over the crowd twice. Once just by herself and the other time she was riding a Harley Motorcycle. She definitely put on a great concert with all of her stage effects. She ended the night with her song the Climb. I think I would buy tickets to go to her again. We had a lot of fun and Cortyln was all smiles. There is nothing better than that!!!
