Miss Sophie

Sophie is spoiled and loved by all in this house.  She had her 6 month check-up recently.  She weighs 18LBS, and boy can you tell when you have to carry her around in her carseat!  She has many nicknames: Miss Sophie, Sophers, Sopher-loafer, Squishums, Mister Sophie (that one is by Mal).  

Look at those legs!  We call 'em "Funder Fighs!" in this house.  She's a squishy baby!

Kelsey turns 12

Kelsey is 12. Twelve!! Can you believe it? I have a kid in mutual, that's what seems crazy.  Her birthday was on a Thursday.  She wanted some new clothes (what a surprise!), plus she got some new books, sunglasses, perfume, etc.  One of her gifts was a trip to our favorite spa, Sego Lily, to get a pedicure with Denise & me.  We went to lunch after.  It was a lot of fun!  She's such a great kid, I mean young woman!

Emma & Sophie were the only ones up to watch her open her gifts!

Jared made Kelsey an awesome chocolate cake, and then we did some fireworks.  That Saturday Kelsey went to the Draper Temple to do Baptisms for the dead.  She really had a great experience and was pretty excited & nervous to finally get to go into a temple.  We love you Kelsey!

Jared's Birthday Surprise!

Our neighbor and friend knew we were gone to Lagoon and decided to trash our yard! :o)

Jared turned 35 on June 16th.  Or did he turn 40?

Ain't that the truth! I'm always calling Jared old since he's 4 years older than me.

Mallory just woke up from the car ride home.  My kids thought it was pretty cool!

It was a nice surprise for Jared!  We really love the Bergman family, they are great friends....thanks guys!

See that light colored garage in the background? That's where the culprits live....Jared can hardly wait to get them back!  Also, notice the clouds?  That's why Lagoon wasn't crowded....and that also made us pick up the streamers pretty quick before the rain came!

Lagoon

We went to Lagoon for Jared's 35th birthday!  It was overcast all day, which kept the crowds away.  We were able to go rides over and over.  It started to get pretty cold around 5:00, then started raining around 6:00.  That's when we decided to call it a day.  I must say it was very weird to be driving home from Lagoon in daylight!  But we had a surprise waiting for us at home! 

Jamie went with us.  Mallory, Whitney and Conner on the helicopters.

Will & Sophie....before it got cold!

This was our last ride.  Our kids were the only ones on it!  Everyone was leaving the park.  Ashton thought it would be cool to be by himself on one set of swings while everyone else was on another.
