This baby....

STOP it baby. You are killing me. It's already time to lower your crib now that you are Miss Big Girl who kneels at the railing AND hollers out "Ma-ma". I am not ready for you to get big. So will you please STOP growing so I can keep you my baby forever.

The Candy Bar Game

You gotta try our FAVORITE game. How to Play:

1. Gather hat, scarf, a glove (mitten or a oven mit!) sunglasses -whatever you want!

2. Place candy bar on a plate with a kitchen knife to cut

3. Roll dice till you get doubles

4. Person you gets doubles has to QUICKLY dress in all atire and try to cut and then eat as much of the candy bar as possible till the next person rolls doubles

5. The object of the game is to continue this pattern till the candy bar is gone!

Have FUN!

G-Force in 3-D

What do you do on a HOT Saturday when you have already done all Saturday chores, already swam all morning and already had a picnic next to the pool? Well, we decided to head to the movies to see Ice Age but it ended up being sold out so we saw G-Force in 3D. It was pretty good. The kids loved the glasses. Next time Brinklee will NOT come though. She feel asleep in the car and I really thought she would sleep the whole movie but oh no, the minute the movie started she was WIDE awake! Brinklee has been officially band from the movies now that she is crawling and will no longer just sit on my lap.

Maycee's Dream Day

Maycee had one of the best days of her life. She had dance camp all morning-one of ther favorites. Then went to her friend Peyton birthday party at Canyon Lake on her grandpa's boat-tubing. Maycee informed me this was the "BEST" day ever! "Now can we buy a boat. I love tubing!" She was a little paronoid about the fish in the water(just like her mom) and told me one time she thought she saw a big "catfish" but it was Brad's (Peyton's dad) hairy leg-ha!! Thanks Martineaus for taking the girls to the lake, you made Maycee's day!

Our second home- Utah

We LOVE Utah-everything about. I even love the long 12 hour road trip because its time with my kids. We always go up for the 4th because its too stinkin hot in AZ and you can't even do fireworks-what the heck?! So away we went and had fun doing:

1. A hike up the canyon with Papa and Gram-Z

2. Roasting marshmellows in Papa's yard

3. Riding Papa's tractor many times-Cannnon's fav

4. BYU bowling, creamery and bookstore

5. Phelps Family Reunion

6. Two VERY late nights visiting some really close friends (Gronemans and Horrocks)

7. Cherry Days Parade (Odgen) on the 4th

8. Watching Fireworks with cousins

9. Uncle Jason finding an old drawer of fireworks and having our own firework show at the Budge home

10. Swings on Grandpa Budges swings

11.My favorite treat of the trip-Chocolate covered cinnamon bears brought to me by Aly. They were the yummiest I had ever eaten and now crave them daily. Thanks Aly

11. Lots of Hugs and Kisses from cousins, aunts and uncles, grandpas and grandma's.

Till next time our deariest Utah (I'll be back in 2 weeks, I just can't seem to stay away!) We love you and Happy Birthday America!
