Memorial Day Weekend 2009

For Memorial Day this year we took the kids to the Westin La Paloma in Tucson with Dave's family. We had a really good time

Kevin loves to get in my pictures. He cracks me up. He is just like a little kid.













Macee's birthday was while we were at the hotel. They had a little birthday party for her out by the pool.











Family chilling out by the pool eating lunch.

We were all thinking... What did Kevin do? Is he in trouble! The cop was looking for a David Tueller. Kevin started asking questions, and found out that the cop was actually looking for him. There was a fire at his hotel room. I guess the people above him had been smoking on their balcony and threw down a cigarette. The fire was on the balcony above his hotel room. They took all their belongings except for what they were wearing. There was no fire damage. I guess everything had smoke damage.
All our rooms were right together. Doug's room smelt a little smokey. Ours was fine, there was a room between ours and Kevin's. They moved Kevin's family to another building. When we were buying food at the pool we realized that they had Dave's and Kevin's names switched. That is why they were looking for us at the pool instead of Kevin. This picture of the balcony is the next day after they had been working on it.

Kylie's and Katie's Orchestra Concerts

Katie and Kylie did such a good job at their Orchestra concerts. I was actually able to see them, and video. I am so glad they both are learning to play the violin and piano. I am sad Kylie decided not to do Orchestra next year. I hope that she will like doing choir though. She has a beautiful voice, and loves to sing. Good luck in choir Ky!

Birthday Dinner

One nice thing about Ashley and Kylie's birthdays being a day apart is that sometimes we can combine their birthday dinners. This year we took them to Serrano's. They used to give you a Polaroid picture of the birthday person. Not this time. Our waiter said they could put on the sombrero though. Good thing I had my camera. We love you girls. Thanks for smiling for the camera.

Kylie's Birthday Party

Kylie had a really fun birthday party this year. She and her friends love to take pictures. They ate, played games and watched the movie 13 Going on Thirty on a projector outside. Happy birthday Ky! We love you very much.

Kylie goes to Ihop

Kylie's friends came and kidnapped her for her birthday. They took her to Ihop for breakfast. What a fun group of friends she has.

Ashley's Birthday Party

What can I say Ashley is turning into a bautiful young lady. I can't believe she is getting so old. My kids are growing up way to fast. Happy Birthday Ash. Love Ya!

Mother's Day 2009

I have the best husband and kids. Dave took all the kids to Chandler mall the saturday before Mother's Day to go shopping. Chase bought me some flip flops. Ash and Ky bought me some perfume and lotion from Bath and Body Works. Dave and Katie bought me some clothes. What a fun Mother's Day I had. They made me both breakfast and dinner and cleaned up too. I was spoiled. Thanks family. I LOVE YOU!!

More Friend Pics

Movie night inside a tent at the John's house. Looks like they spent more time playing outside.

Easter 2009

This year we went to Dave's sisters house again for Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt. She also boiled enough eggs for everyone to play a game. You had to roll your egg into someone else egg and try to crack your opponents egg. Dave ended up being the winner. Kevin gave Ana a raw egg to play with. When she found out, she was so mad and she chucked it at him. We were all like surprised . It was pretty funny.

Piano Recital

Our last piano recital with this teacher. My kids have learned so much from Luana. We will miss her very much. I hope my girls can continue learning like they have with Luana.

Chases Birthday

Chase had school and then had to work on his birthday. Dave the girls and I went to his work and took balloon's and cupcakes. We then blew up a bunch of balloons and stuck them in his car. We hope you ended up having a good birthday Chase!

Grandma and Grandpa come to visit

My parents were able to come and visit us again. Dave and I and the 2 girls took them and got Pei Weis. We had a really good time having them come and stay with us.

Family Night with Friends

We get together with some of our friends from the ward for family night every once in awhile. When it was our turn we had everyone over and had a easter lesson.

Spring Break 2009

My parents came and visited us quit a bit at my sisters house. It was wierd not staying with them. I always stay at thier house when we go and visit. This time we were able to spend more time with Daves dad and his wife. She always goes to so much work cooking for us. Thanks to everyone that made our Spring Break so much fun.












This ski trip was alot different than our last one. The weather was actually warm. Chase snowboarded all day with no coat on. It was alot of fun taking the kids again. Kylie tried snowboardng this time and really enjoyed it. Ash and Katie stuck with skiing. My girls are growing up. We had a boy following us and asking if he could join our group. I think he had a crush on Kylie. I told him he could ski with us, but I warnned him that this was only the kids second time. He told me it was fine. He said it was better than skiing by himself. His name was Stetson. We had him take our family picture.














One of the best parts of going to Utah is getting to spend time with all the cousins. My kids are so lucky to be so close to all thier cousins on both mine and Daves sides of the family.













My sisters theater room was awesome. We watched a couple of movies in it. The recliners were so comfortable. I feel asleep in one of the movies. She had like 18 recliners and 3 big love sacks at the bottom. I don't think they will ever need to go to a public theater again. Every time a movie would get over, Dave would say we could have sold 20 more tickets. It was kinda funny but true.












Who would have ever thought my kids would be playing basketball inside and I wouldn't have to yell at them to go outside and play. Only at my sisters house.











My sister had just moved into her new house and invited us to stay with her. We felt like we were staying in our own private resort. They heated the pool, so the kids were able to go swimming in March in Utah.











Katie was lucky this year. She got to spend her birthday with all her Utah cousins. Rory and Julia got married on her birthday. It was a busy day. My niece Paige bought Katie a birthday cake. I think she felt bad for her since we hadn't made or bought her one yet that day. Thanks Paige you are soooo sweet. You helped make Katies B-Day a success.











Rory and Julia got married while we were in Utah. What a nice couple they make. They seem like they are going to be very happy together.
