Crazy hair?
It is Crazy Hair day at Bri's school...I think she just looks cute! All she needs is a perm! We were going to do a ponytail mohawk, but I told her I could give her my big hair and she was super excited. Today she is auditioning for the school play...I hope the judges don't get distracted by her hair!

Back to school
SEVENTH GRADE!!!!
(what happened to my tiny baby!)
Oh, there she is!! (I was just talking to my cousin Judy about my mom and how she love to hold babies. This is one of my favorite shots of Breezy and my mom.)
Music recital
Bri has been taking music lessons for several years. She plays the piano and takes voice lessons. I promised her that I would not post any video of her, but the pictures are too cute to pass up!
One last hurrah
We wanted to get in a camping trip before the end of the summer. We went to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National park. We went to the same place last summer and had a blast, so we decided to go again. While there we: rode our bikes along the Teton mountain range, went horseback riding, saw a bear in the wild for the first time, got rained on and found out that our tent is NOT waterproof (it now lives at D.I.), went to a few places in Yellowstone that we have never stopped at before, left the jackets we brought with us in our tent and had to buy new hoodies because it was so cold, took Yeager camping for more than one night...and he was a very good dog. Yeager got to go spend a day at a "pet resort" so we could do some activities without him, but I don't think it was all that glamorous! We love spending time together as a family, and we have decided to make this a yearly destination, it is beautiful there!

Colorado Cousins
This past weekend we got to have house guests. My sis-in-law and her kids came for a visit from Colorado. JT's brother had to head back early because of work and we missed him. We had fun hanging out at home and also a fun day at Lagoon.
Kyson wanted to get wet and every ride we went on he just got a few splashes. This is his look of great disappointment!
Bri has mastered the art of the blood-curdling scream. This is her screaming while we were riding the FERRIS WHEEL! (scary...)
I have to share how proud I am of my daughter. A few years ago she got it in her head that she didn't like roller coasters. She would try a few but then put her foot down and wouldn't ride any of the big rides at Lagoon. This made me not want to take her there, so it has been three years since we have really even been to Lagoon. This year I told her I would like her to try a few and see if her feelings have changed. She resisted for most of the day, but in the end I told her that I would go on some "hurley" rides with her if she would go on some roller coasters with me. She got up the nerve and absolutely LOVED them, and wants to go back and ride some more! The second part of that story is that I kept my promise and rode a hurley ride, and well...hurled. Not the best end to a fun day, but still proud of my girlie.

Ward Campout
Our ward campout was up Ogden Canyon again this year, we went to a fun campground that has a river next to it where Bri was able to swim and have some fun. JT was busy this year and couldn't come, so Breezy and I went and hung out with our ward family without him. I decided I didn't want to bother with a tent and so we slept in the back of our Jeep. I thought it was going to be a tight squeeze, but we ended up having plenty of room, and plenty of length too! We love where we live and love our neighbors. It was a fun time.

Eighteen Years and counting!
While we were in Zions we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. It was total coincidence that we stopped through there on our honeymoon too! (Actually, that is the last time we were in Zions, it is a shame to be away from such a beautiful place for so long!)
We had fun celebrating our anniversary with Bri, it was a fun day!

We had a fun family trip to St. George and Southern Utah. Most of our time was spent out of doors either hiking or biking. We bought new bikes last fall and this was the first time we have taken them on more than just a city bike trail, which was really fun. It was nice to be out of town and be able to spend some time together as a family.
what a beautiful place!
a Coke bollard!

Braces...again
Bri got her Phase 2 set of braces put on yesterday. She had Phase 1 when she was 8 and wore them for about 15 months. This set is also for 15 months. She has very sore teeth for a few days, but is getting used to them quickly. I talked with our orthodontist about having a reversal and giving her back her buck teeth for a few more years. I think it might be a good idea because I don't think I am quite ready for my baby to be so beautiful!
Great post from my sis's blog
Marf posted this, it is definitely worth reading. Thanks sis, you are my spark too!
