Celebrating 5 years of Kylie!!

My little Kylie turned 5 today!! I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday that she was born. Kylie is so excited to be 5 and can't wait to go to Kindergarten this year. On Friday night we had a fun Hula swimming party at Grandma Fay's house. We had lots of family and friends come. We went swimming, had big sub sandwiches from Steve's Crazy Sub, and Cake and Ice Cream. See Kylie's fun birthday cake? My friend Jessica made it. She is so talented. The cake was a great addition to our summer fun party. It tasted yummy too! (Thanks Jess!)
Kylie got some great presents. She got a singing HSM Sharpay doll, clothes, new school stuff, a pony (stuffed animal...really?), and Grandma Lou got her a DS. Now she can play DS's right along with Jacie and Jacob. It was a great party. Tonight Grandma Lou came over for pizza and more Cake and Ice Cream. She got to have all the kids in Primary sing Happy Birthday to her. She was beaming!!

Since Kylie is 5 I thought I would post 5 great things about her!

1. She loves me no matter what.

2. She is sassy. ( Over the top sometimes but I love it too.)

3. She gives great hugs and kisses anytime I ask. (My other kids have outgrown that!)

4. She loves to sing to HSM songs at the top of her lungs. Even when she doesn't know the words.

5. She loves to twirl. She has to have a dress on and she will spin all around the house.

We love you Kylie. You are such a great kid and fun sister. You are such an important part of our family and we will love you forever. Happy Birthday!

Totally Wicked!!

Josh, Jacie and I went to see Wicked this past week at ASU Gammage!! It was so good. I saw it a couple of years ago but Josh and Jacie have never seen it. Dr. Beck gave me 2 tickets for Nurse's Day a few months ago. I was going to just take Jacie. It turned out that Dr. Beck had an extra ticket, so Josh got to go too. It was seriously so great. If you haven't seen it you need to go. It is such a great story and the music is fabulous. This was Jacie's first Broadway show. She wouldn't stop talking about it the whole way home. We listen to the soundtrack and sing all of our favorite songs. It was a great night. Thanks Dr. Beck!!

It's a Home Run!!!!!

On Tue. June 23rd we went to the Diamondbacks vs. Rangers game. We were on the homerun patio which is located next to the pool. Justin Upton hit a homerun and it came right at us. The Rangers player tipped the ball off the top of his glove and it hit the wall behind us. Josh was able to get the ball. He didn't catch it unfortunately but he picked it up. They replayed the homerun on SportsCenter later that night and you can totally see us ducking out of the way. It was awesome!! The representatives from the ballpark came down and asked if we wanted it signed. We said yes of course, so they took it and had Justin Upton sign it. We just got it back in the mail. It was so great. Alot of Josh's friends gave him a hard time about ducking out of the way but he is the lucky one with the ball. It was definitely a great game!

Here we go!!

Okay everyone!! I finally broke down and started my blog. (With a little help and motivation from my friend Jessica! Thanks Jess!!) It was one of my New Years resolutions to start our family blog. Since I don't scrapbook or journal very well I hope this can be a way to document some of the fun and important events in our little family!! So, here it is July and this just may be the one resolution I have followed through on. I am a tad intimidated by the whole blog thing and would like any guidance you would like to send my way. I am going to give it my best effort, so......Here we go!!
