We are still ALIVE!!! (barely)

Say it isn't true!!!! Birthday time for Ashlee and Haylee and Dad suprised us all with tickets to the Taylor Swift concert. So fun and exciting. We took Jane with us and had a total blast. Thank You DAD you are the best.

Are you kidding me?? Grandma Rudy felt the desire to outfit my girls with football jerseys as if that wasn't enough they are Mtn. View Buffs as well. I think I better start loving the color purple huh. Of course they had to pose.

I hope they never grow out of wanting to share a birthday day together. We love them both so much and they are growing into beautiful young women. Happy birthday girls!!!!

First day of school 2011-2012. Ashlee is in 5th grade, Haylee is in 3rd grade (yes they are almost the same height and Ashlee hears about it all the time) and Natalee is in 1st grade. I can't believe how fast time flies. They are such good girls and soooo much fun. We are going to be crazy trying to keep up with all the events this year but going to try to stay on top of posting everything.

Ok. So one of our favorite pass times this summer was camping and fishing. The girls got so good at it that they could cast, reel and get them in all by themselves. They just were not about to put that worm on the hook.

We finally even talked Ashlee into being patient enough to sit and try for a min.

Of course the min turned into hours and look at the mess of fish they caught. They brought them home for Grandpa Rudy to smoke in the smoker. Not huge fish eaters around here.

While we were in St. George there was no way we were going to miss Little Mermaid and Grease and Tuachan. The performances were fabulous and the weather was HOT HOT HOT of course.



This was a temple trip summer. We went to the Nauvoo, St. George, Manti and Las Vegas temple grounds. Each temple the girls admired and loved.

Ashlee couldn't help peeking in the baptismal font doors at St. George. Only one more year Ash it will be here before you know it.

We took an awesome trip to Chicago this summer and went to Nauvoo also. It was so much fun and all of our testimonies grew so much just from being there. The girls loved to experience the pioneer fun. This will be something we never forget.

Haylee was determined to get these stilts. The rest of us loved watching her.

This place was so much fun and the girls wanted to try everything. We stayed in cabins that were taken to Nauvoo from Wyoming that the girls great grandparents lived in. The whole trip was just unforgettable.
