New School Year!

He was excited and nervous for his first day of 2nd grade. I can't believe he's this old. He came home so excited about his teacher. What a cute kid!

BYU Football Kick Off!!!

BYU Football season has arrived, and not a moment to soon for my boys!

Braedon took this picture!
Jan Jorgensen(top) Dennis Pitta(bottom). I forget how nice the players are. Once again we missed Max Hall and Harvey Unga. Oh well, there's always next year.

Kambrie loved all the attention she got. Braedon, loves long lines as much as his mom!

Kambrie could have sat and watched the cheerleaders the whole time we were there. She finally got up enough courage to get her picture taken. The dancers and cheerleaders were all very nice.

Birthday Retreat!!!

Happy late b-day to me! On the morning of my b-day I filled trenches, then traveled 4-5 hours to Idaho Fall! Two days later Alan's brother Cliff took his and our family to Warm River for some four wheeling and water fun! It made the trench filling and traveling worth it. We had a blast. The drive to and from the mountains was breath taking. Thank you Cliff and Sarah for all the fun and letting us crash at your house.

Snail harvesting and bird bathing, for Braedon and Kambrie! We came prepared for deep water fun, and the river is only about 4 feet deep. We are in the shallow part. It was pretty funny. Next time we are river rafting. Got that Cliff?

I had a blast driving one as well. Thanks to Cliff's boss for letting us use his toys!

Dad, we're ready and waiting!

Our fearless little girl! What are we going to do with her.

Summer with friends!

Quik laugh for all! So the other morning, as I was getting ready to go running, I hear this watch timer going off. Just as i opened my door, I see Braedon walking back to his room very sleepy, looks at me and says "The watch wouldn't stop beeping." As I was walking out the front door, I

noticed it was unlocked, and thought it strange because Alan always locks it when he leaves for work. Locking it behind me when I left, didn't think about it again... Now, as I am doing my cool down stretching outside, I look up, and lowe and behold lying just outside the door is Braedons watch. I had to smile, even laugh a little. So now you know what to do with the alarm that won't shut off!

Summer Fun!
July 22, 09
For a while now my friend Steff has wanted to take us to the Spanish Fork Res. Yesterday
was such a perfect day for swimming. We had so much fun.

Braedon and his new friend Riley, Steff's nephew. I missed a picture of the two trying to catch a fish with their hands. It was so funny.

Steff's niece Mikala and Kambrie. All the kids loved going out on the raft with her.

Kambrie swam for about 20 mins. then just wanted to play in the sand. Best thing about this sand, it wasn't as fine as others, so it came off feet and other stuff much easier. Great for clean car freaks like me!
Steff and her kids, Kalia and Teo. They are so dang cute.

Don't pay much attention to the date on the pictures. I need to reset it!

Family Night!

We decided it would be fun to take the kids to the canyon and roast hot dogs. Great idea! The kids only stopped running for food. It is so awesome that we can just go 15 or 20 mins up the canyon and feel like we are completely away from the world.

Hungry?

I hope our kids know how much we love them!

He makes marriage easy. He is so patient and caring.

Happy 4th of July

So, I hope all of my friends and family had a fun 4th of July, Because we did! We partied every day so late, that when it came time of the 4th we were all very tired, hence most of the looks on Kambries face. We sure enjoyed spending time with both families. Hope to see you here next year Aunt Marlene!

My Nephew Hayden spent all weekend with us, while his parents packed to go to Africa to pick my oldest nephew off his mission. He sure enjoyed himself. I guess he is now part of the Sharp family, he calls Alan's mom Grandma Sharp. It's so cute.

The slip n' slide was a hit. They played for almost three hours. At first Kambrie, Braedon and Hayden were the only ones who knew what to do. But the others caught on fast.

Both Families waiting. We sure love them! Notice I'm not in any of the pictures. Including the ones from Michelle and Sarah's cameras.

The ride home. My kids are too cute! A fun time was had by all!

Clean and Pure!!!

I still can't believe that Alan and I have a child old enough to be baptized, but it happened!
The only thing that went wrong that day is that I forgot to check that the camera had a memory card. So it ran out of internal memory and we cant find the cable to hook up the camera to the computer, so we only have a few pictures that were taken on the memory card. Hopefully, we will find it soon or I will seriously cry. The pictures of him in his baptism clothes are on there, and a few others after. Other than that, all went well. We got our prayers answered as far as weather went. The two days before were just down right scary. Our day turned out gorgeous. After the baptism we had a bbq at the church pavilion. It was so much fun. I just love being with my family, they are all so supportive. Allie and Karalina, thank you so much, I know it was not easy getting home so late and then traveling early morning to make it. I loved watching Braedon come up out of the water with a huge grin on his face. He said it was it was fun. Now on to the hard and important part, helping him remember the promises he made. But if anyone can do it it's Braedon. Hope all is well with everyone. More pictures later! (Hopefully).
