Sam's tribute to Michael Jackson

I found Sam listening to the Ipod and dancing. I saw that she was dancing to Thriller and I couldn't resist posting it.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a fun day in Provo for the 4th. We did some swimming, so BBQ-ing with some friends and family, and of course fireworks! When we were done with ours we got to watch the Stadium of Fire's firework show from our front porch.

Adi has firecrakers coming out of her head!

Samantha played with the "snakes" and then rubbed her face. Aiden loves the smokeballs.
Tum and Jaime joined us for the festivities.

Aiden's first Triathlon

Since Tyler has been getting into triathlons, he decided Aiden would want to share in the fun. Tyler signed him up for his first Triathlon at Utah Lake. It was all fun of course until the race started. After that it was blood, sweat, and tears (literally). However, he did finish. Even if he was last place, we are so proud of him! Maybe in a couple of years he will be the one to place 1st.

Getting ready to start.

I got to do the run with him. Actually, he wouldn't finish unless it was me that ran with him. Momma's boy!

HE DID IT!!! AND WITH A SMILE!

Family supporters

Happy 3rd Birthday Sam!!!

Present mania!

Trying out new gifts.

Family fun

The two things we do when we go to see my family. Swim and eat!!!

Cousins Leah, Hadley and Adi. All born within a month.

Kisses from grandma is a must.
Swimming pool + cousins = FUN!!!

My brother decided he wanted to look like Woverine's brother (a.k.a. Sabertooth) in X-Men Origins.

Disneyland!

We finally made it to Disneyland!!!

Here is our clan below! We all fit on a boat together on "It's a Small World". Our family, my mom, Jen and Leah, the Galley's, the Mestas', Jaime and Travis Vongsawad, and the Glasgow kids. Elizabeth was even there the first day of our California Disney adventure, thanks to her poor flight planning.

Aiden loved the rollercoasters!!! Big suprise.

We got to enjoy all the fun rollercoasters: Matterhorn, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain. We all traded off watching each others kids so that everyone could go. At least those that weren't.... scared! You know who you are!

The Vongsawad's are such a nice help. Holding our kids most of the time and taking the little one's so we could have a little bit of fun for an hour. They are so good to us.

Stinky Underwear!

This is what happens when I tell my children to smile by telling them to say "cheese".



Not very impressive. A note to all of us parents who try to get "real" smiles out of their children. Instead of saying "cheese", it might work better if you get them to say "stinky underwear". Adi didn't really get it, but Aiden and Sam had fun saying it.
