Scooter

Andelynn has been wanting a scooter for the longest time. She asked for one last year for her 8th birthday however I can not spend that kind of money for a birthday present. So of course she did not get a scooter. As spring came this year Andelynn said again that she wants a scooter. This time I told her that if she wants a scooter than she would have to save her money and buy it herself. She said ok and she started saving. During are whole time in Texas Andelynn would not spend a dime. Well her 9th birthday was coming and she didn't have enough money for that scooter so all she asked for, for her birthday was money. Andelynn got just enough money to go buy the scooter this week. She has been on it everyday since the day we bought it. She is so happy, she loves it and she said that she is so glad that she bought it and it's worth all the money. I am happy that she loves it and I love seeing her happy.


It doesn't look like it goes fast however it does go up to 15mph, that is pretty fast for a kids toy.

Too Cute!

I love Andelynn and Alyssa so much, they are so precious. Andelynn reminds me of a prom queen with that crown on. They grow up so fast, here soon Andelynn just might be prom queen at her school dance. I don't want to make time go by any faster than it already is. I can't believe that Andelynn is 9 years old and Alyssa is 3. didn't I just have Alyssa a year ago? What happened to all that time?

I do love my girls. Heavenly Father did bless me with the two must beautiful girls and so well behaved. I am so very lucky and blessed to have such great daughters.

Fruit Heights Founders Day...

WE ARE BACK! Boy does it feel good to be back. I loved being in Texas however it was starting to get old. Andy was here in Utah for a couple days before he had to fly right back out to Texas again. That poor guy! Sometimes I don't know how he can do it. His whole life is nothing but traveling and staying in a hotel. Sounds good I know, But all the time and not being able to be with your family. Yeah, it gets old really fast.

Well during the short time Andy was with us here in Utah we got to have a little fun. We went house hunting, had a birthday party for Andelynn and we even went to the Fruit Heights Founders Day thing with my parents. At the Fruit Heights Founders Day they had tons of games and prizes for the kids, a little train ride, lots of shows and so much more. It was really nice and boy did Fruit Heights fork out a lot of money for that night. I enjoyed going on the Velcro Wall, but that thing really takes a lot of energy and strength. I may look like I am in my 20's but my body knows that I am not. Sometimes I think I can still do all the things I use to do until I try it. I learn really fast that my body doesn't work the way it use to.

Andelynn won a little white bear and was so excited and Alyssa won some barbie mermaid doll. They were not cheap on their prizes. Some kids even won Camp Rock soundtracks and other good CD's for kids.

You have to have the good fluffed sugar that we call cotton candy.

Mike did a magic show for the Founders Day. He did a wonderful job. He couldn't do the floating table due to the wind. However he did a lot of good tricks and a few new ones that I have not seen before. Mike is the guy whom I have hired to do birthday parties for Andelynn. He really does an amazing job. So any of you, if you need an idea for a family reunion or a party of any kind, I highly recommend hiring Mike for you entertainment.

Here Mike drew a picture of a bowling ball and then a bowling ball fell from the pad of paper. And this was no small bowling ball. it had to weigh at least 10 pounds. Then on the pad of paper (after the ball fell) the picture of the bowling ball was gone but the words were still there.



The girls enjoyed the little train. It was a cute train. "I want one." You know how much fun I would have if I had that. all the neighbor kids would love me.

Curses

So if you are in need of a party game then I highly recommend the game called Curses. Andy's brother gave us this game a long time ago for either Christmas or Birthday. This has been our favorite game ever. We had to buy this game for Candice and Steve for their birthday. And so of course we had to play it.

On this game you are given a curse and during the whole game you have to do whatever your curse is. You don't get just one curse you can have several curses at one time. Well at the beginning of your turn you have to do a challenge and of course don't forget your curse. You don't want to get caught forgetting your curse or else you may just lose the game. Well this is a video of Steve, he is captain hook and has to speak like captain hook and also each time he speaks he has to bock like a chicken and of course many other things like each time he speaks he has to clap his hands but then whenever someone claps (including himself) he has to take a bow. It is so funny. Candice is sitting next to him and whenever Steve speaks she has to shake.

I love this game! But remember to always use the restroom before starting to play the game. Guaranteed that YOU WILL LAUGH.

Oasis

Our last couple of days in Texas was our family vacation for the year. So we went out and played and had a lot of fun. My sister, LeeAnn, flew out to vacation with us. We were told that being in Austin that we had to go out to the Oasis that is overlooking Lake Travis . This place is amazing. So pretty and nice. I see why everyone tells ya to go there. However their food is not that good. We got a appetizer that was wonderful but the main dish was awful and then again the dessert was also wonderful. Really this place is all about the live music and atmosphere. We loved it and I would definitely go back.

What a cute couple

Of course we had to go out somewhere special since the girls were so cute from their libby lu's party. We had to show off how cute they all are.

Libby Lu's

I think Andelynn had a wonderful birthday. She got spoiled like usual. Since we were in Texas on her birthday Candice wanted to do something special for Andelynn. My sister flew into Austin and then she was able of going to Libby Lu's to get all dolled up. What a fun store. I wish they could have made me all beautiful. Where was this when I was a kid, heck who says you need to be a kid. I think I would still love to do this for myself even though I am 32. Regardless of the age it is fun to have all the attention.

All done and I am gorgeous

The song "girls just want to have fun" came on and the girls got into singing it. It was so cute.

The girls are all beautiful and ready to go out. Don't they all look so cute?

Thank you so much Candice for such a wonderful time. Thanks for making this so special for Andelynn. She loved it and talks about it all the time to everybody.

They really do need this in Utah. So any of you out there looking to opening your own business look into opening a Libby Lu's. I think it would do great here.
