Obstacle Ninja Warrior

This new place was supposed to open up on Brayden's bday, and I had it all planned out to take him and the kids...but they didn't have the permits ready in time so they pushed off the opening for a few days. So I finally was able to take the kids and they absolutely loved it! Brayden and Brynlee REALLY loved it and worked hard the entire hour we were there. Brooklyn did great at first and at the end, but kind of got bored in the middle. The 2 little ones got pretty bored with the little kid area, but luckily we were the only ones there so the workers took them on the big course and they loved that. All in all it was a great experience and we plan to go back MANY times. At the end they let Brayden go to the "big" warp wall and spent about 20 minutes with him trying to make it to the top. He was SO close...a few more times coming and I bet he will have it. He was dripping sweat by the end.

Brayden's Birthday

We always do our best to celebrate the kids' birthdays when they are during the week. We are super busy and always missing a kid, but we managed to get everyone and head to Teriyaki Grill...Brayden's favorite! It was fun to spend the evening celebrating how great of a kid he is! Congrats on turning 11!!!

Brayden's Patriotic Program

Brayden had his school program today...on his birthday! I had no idea it would be so good. They sang songs, read things, and really showed how much they love this country.  They played a video talking about the Columbia space shuttle explosion and I couldn't hold back the tears. Such a neat program and I was glad I was able to go.

Celebrating Brayden's Birthday

We got together with the Ericson's one day before Brayden's birthday to celebrate it with them. 11!!! I can't believe it's been 11 yrs already! We love everything about this kid and love seeing him grow up!

Bill Bucks

We always love going to Josh's work Christmas party. It's fun to get dressed up and I love seeing Josh get recognized for all his hard work. Every year he breaks the record, which he first broke about 4 yrs ago, for the most food sold in a year. He works hard, deals with a lot of stress, and we love him for it. Thanks for working so hard for all of us!

Super League Champions!

Brayden plays SO many games that I forget to take pics once in a while. This was one of his championship games which they won! He loves ball and continues to get better and better. We love this team and the boys are all great friends!

Desert Star Playhouse

I've loved having Desert Star tickets this year! It's always hard to schedule a time that all of us with tickets can go, but it is always worth it. My kids absolutely love going. This show was the parody on Wicked, so we bought extra tickets so all the kids except Britney could come with me. I thought it would a little more Wizard of Oz stuff in it so unfortunately Brielle and Oakley struggled a little bit. But they still loved the singing and dancing even if they didn't understand the story.
