Amanda's Pre-K 3 Graduation

Amanda had her 3 year old preschool graduation today, yes they had a graduation from pre K-3. But it was very cute, the teacher's made them little diploma's and scrapbooks of work they did and pictures of them in class. Amanda was funny she kept making me take pictures of her with her little friends she made in class. And my cute friends Julie and Collen(the kids Godparents)of course we had to get a picture of her with them...
I wish all the kids were out of school..... But I don't wish they were a year older, I swear time goes by TOO fast. I wish I could have my babies back to being babies again and know how fast time would go by, I would not take any of the time for granted... Life is just too precious!

Exciting Evening!

Well we had an exciting evening in our neighborhood, another hang glider crashed into the mountain behind my house, we live just second away from the Hang Gilding Park at the point of the mountain. Mel and I watched as Draper police, fire/search and rescue climbed the steep terrain to get to him. It took them about an hour to get to him, stabilize him, and get him untangled from his glider. Some of the cops and firefighters were so hot and winded from the climb with all of the equipment they needed to help the guy, they were vomiting, and they were in allot better shape then I. Once they put him in the toboggan it took another hour for them to repel him down the steep mountain. Mean while falling down the steep slope and rocks, keeping the guy safe. They parked Life Flight about 4 houses away, just out our circle. We all (ferre clan and the entire neighborhood) watched as they loaded him up an took him off to the hospital. I just have to say those fire fighters, cops and the Life Flight crew are amazing. I talked to one of the women police officers after and told her how awesome they worked together to get him off that mountain safe. I asked her if she was O.K. and she said "well I don't have to work out for the rest of the week". She was the first to get to him, along with the fire fighters. It just go's to show you that you can "supposedly" get drunk and plow face first into the mountain and these amazing men and women risk their own life to pull you down safe. WOW what a great place we live. Never a dull moment, not even in little old Draper.

What A Weekend!

Well we are finally done with dance competition, I am relieved but I think Sara could dance on and on. Saturday we were at UVSU from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sara and I were so tired, but we had so much fun and Sara and her team did so awesome.
Sunday was more yard work, I am not sure we will ever get our yard how we want it, but we are sure trying.

And can I just say I am so glad that it is SUMMER!!!!! I really need to move to Austin Texas or Hawaii, and yes that is me dancing on the beach in Maui....

Happy Mother's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day.. I sure did, I was able to spend the whole day with my kids and husband. For dinner we had the Schultz clan over and we had so much fun just hanging out and talking. Grandpa played basketball with Jacob and Zack, and then Uncle Jer and Dave went out and schooled the boys. I guess it's not all fair cuase Uncle Jer can reach the net. Aunt Kris and Grandma jumped on the tramp with the girls, that is a work out!!!
It was such a nice and relaxing day. Thanks to all...

The ZOO!

Well yesterday we got to go to the Zoo with Sara's 3rd grade class. Of course I took Amanda along too. We had so much fun, we were able to see things we have never seen before. The male wolf was at the back fence and he was about 15 feet away from us, wow they are such cool animals, can you believe that picture i got? If you click the picture you get a zoomed image. The orangutan family were inside playing and we got to see mama, baby and daddy all interacting together, so cute!!! The big tiger was playing in the water cooling himself off and he acted just like a baby kitten playing with a toy, it was so amazing to see that huge animal so playful and cute. Also the girl gorilla was hot so she got a burlap sack and put it on her head as she walked around eating all the dandelions.. Well I have to say that was the most amazing day of animal watching we have ever had... Sara, Amanda and I couldn't get enough, we almost missed the bus to go back to school... And it was a beautiful day not too hot, it was a perfect day out with the girls!

Our beautiful yard!

Oh my gosh we have totally transformed our front yard... I wish we had before and after pics. Dave, myself and all 3 kids worked our butts off and have made our front yard so awesome. Thanks to Dave's awesome eye for plants and his muscle our front yard is finally looking beautiful. It doesn't even look like the same house. Dave started by ripping out everything and we started from scratch, well scratch would have been easier than what we had to work with. Now we have to start in the back and I know Dave with transform that also. The kids are so cute helping, I got them all gardening gloves and their own little pot that we planted flowers in so the can watch them grow and when they get big they will plant them in the garden. Jacob likes to do exactly what Dad does including trying to lift the wheelbarrow full of rocks and weeds dumping it and hurting himself. Sara likes to just get muddy but she gets allot done when you show her something to do. And Amanda likes to water everything including the dogs because "they need water too". So do I have any volunteers to help transform our back yard?????
Well that is all for now..... XO XO XO

Our crazy life!!!

Our weekend is full of dance competition, yard work and family time. I love when the weekend comes, usually... I don't have to run all 3 kids to a different activity and worry about dinner and homework and anything else that might pop up like a broken arm(Jacob). This weekend Sara has duo competition tonight which is about 2 hours, and on Saturday she has team competition which is about 5 hours. And we have this for the next 3 weekends. I know Sara loves it but SERIOUSLY??
Picture is of Sara and Amanda, Keeley and Ali their best friends and dance partners waiting for awards at competition..
