HSM 3
So Ally and I went out for a "girls night" on Sat. night to see the new HSM 3 and we had a great time. It was really cute, I told her we were having a girls night but she had no idea what we were doing. She got excited when we pulled up to the movie theater but still didn't know what we were seeing. I asked her if she wanted me to tell her or if she wanted it to be a surprise? She said a surprise. So we are sitting there and when it FINALLY starts she turned to me and it the most excited voice said "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3?" I said yep! She held her hands to her face in excitement and snuggled right up to me and said "thank you mommy, thank you". It was so sweet! I love my little girl and love having girl time with her, I hope we are always close and can share "girl" moments together.

Bummer...
I can't find my camera charger and my camera is dead. I have a bunch of pictures of the kids when we were in Az. last time at the farm and Peter Piper Pizza and I can't get them on my computer. So I may have to buy another charger somewhere. Meanwhile, a few things we have been up to.
My sister and her family came out last weekend and we had a good time. We took them to White Sands on Friday and the kids all loved it. We watched "The Office" trying to get them hooked, cuz they don't watch it. We went to Cayden's basketball game. That kid can really play. He amazes both Trav and I. Then Sunday they went to Sacrament with us. This was fun because it was our Primary Program and Cayden and Ally were singing a duet together. They were asked to sing "I'm trying to be like Jesus" and they did AWESOME. We had SO many compliments on how well they did. They both got up there and just sang their little hearts out. It was so sweet. Travis and I are so proud of them.
Then so far this week, we had playgroup at Brooke's house. For some reason all the kids had a hard day and were crabby. Well maybe not all the kids, maybe it was just mine, LOL! Tuesday morning I went and met with the manager of "Club Fitness" about a job, so keep your fingers crossed it works out. Not much else happening. Oh except I am finally giving in and going to get all of my "packed" stuff from the storage unit and "un-pack", kind of sad, but I am ok with it. That's about it. Sorry for the lack of pictures again. Once I get a charger, watch out!

Enrichment Gone Wild!!!
So tonight was Enrichment. Travis is out of town for work and I have been dealing with a very crabby sick baby since Thursday of last week and REALLY needed to get out. So I called a babysitter, called up the "girls" and planned for a GNO after Enrichment. We didn't know what we were going to do (since we have so many options in our little town) but we wanted to do something. A few of us sat around enrichment, which was at the R.S president's house around the corner from me, and discussed our options. Now to preface the rest of this, this group of girls are hilarious and likes to have fun and joke around being silly. Ok so, jokingly,
Option A-skinny dipping-water is freezing, not going to happen.
Option B-Toilet papering, hmm possibility.
Option C-do nothing, cuz we are lame, nope I am SET on doing SOMETHING
So after talking and LAUGHING about our options we decide "lets do it, lets go teepeeing. We are stoked, I know you would think we were 12 but what's a tired worn out momma supposed to do? We extend the invitation to all who are there. We only get 7 takers for the outing. Everyone drives their cars to my house and parks them there and we load up in C's van. Now, keep in mind we are all in our 20's and 30's and momma's. We are tightly squished in C's minivan and A had to sit in a car seat while me and R and B are sitting with knees up in the back seat because the seat was pushed up against the middle seat, leaving no leg space. Really quite the site! We head to Wal-Mart to load up on the T.P. On our way we call one girl M, who wasn' t at enrichment to see if she would like to join us. She kind of laughed at the idea and said "no thanks". So off to Walmart we go. Check out with the T.P. Yep all 7 of us buying a 24 pack of T.P together, we aren't looking suspicious or anything. We head to the Koerpers house. Now Karl Koerper is our Bishop and he has a bunch of teenage boys at home and we thought them a good pick because they live out of they way (less chance of being caught) and they have teenage boys to clean up the mess tomorrow. We pull over with lights off in front of the the drive to their house. R gets out to scope out the area, checks the barn for people and states that the coast is clear. So she is walking side by side the van as we are driving up the long drive to their house. Suddenly, from an open field to the right a young boy (Bishop's youngest) jumps up and chucks a water balloon at R. She tries to hurry back into the van and has trouble because it is locked. She makes it back in and we had nowhere to go but forward toward the house in order to turn around to head out. We are turning around at the house while we are being ambushed by what we think are water balloons. We are laughing histerically, like a pack of hyena's, and repeating "some-one ratted us out, they have been waiting for us". We all decide to stop and go to battle with these boys, after all what's a water balloon going to do? We all jump out in unison and start unloading as much toilet paper as possible as quickly as possible. Things (what we think are water balloons) are hitting the ground all around us and we are just laughing histerically. We could see the silhouettes of the boys up towards the house. I run out from behind a tree to retrieve my roll of t.p. and bam I am hit in the side. "Oh ouch, ouch, guys that hurt so bad" I run behind the van for cover and my side is throbbing. I start rallying the troops "guys, lets go, lets go, those aren't water balloons." We jump in the van and take off being hit multiple times. Once we are far enough away C turns on the light in the van and I had been hit in the side with a paint ball. Oh my heck, I had no idea how bad those things stung. We were not that far away from them and boy did it sting. I have a perfect ball shaped welt on my side. We couldn't believe it, who ratted us out? To make a really long story a little shorter we found out our friend M, who we had called to see if she wanted to join us, had an eavesdropping husband who texted the Koerper saying "some people are coming to teepee you, be ready with your paint guns". They were ready. They did not know it was us until it was too late and Sis. Koerper, after realizing what had happend, felt really bad. It was a very funny night. Yes, many of you are probably reading this thinking "how old are you" but it was all in good fun and our ward rocks so we can do stuff like this. Anyways-it's on, war is on, when they least expect it we will have our revenge. Ha ha!

Family Night Fun!!
This last Monday night we had a family night at the park, with some families from our ward, thanks Gray's for putting it together. This kids had a great time. Cayden and Willoughby roasting marshmallows for their smores.
Travis helping Grady go down the slide. Grady is so funny, he is not a daring kid at all!
Grady on another slide, looking a little more enthused.
I didn't get any pictures of Ally at the park, she was off with her friend. I had been wanting to post this one for a while so here it is. This was a few weeks ago, I did her hair like this for church. She loved it! I found the idea off of a cute hair blog, I can't wait for her hair to get longer for other fun stuff, too bad it is so fine-like mine, poor girl.
