Three Ring Fun!

on the 18th we went to the circus at the Southpoint. It was a blast, the kids loved it, and all of the adults loved it too. The acts were really fun and entertaining. We saw tigers and elephants, they had the quickchange couple from America's got talent, a man shot himself out of a cannon, there were lots of acrobatics. We had a great time with the family. It lasted a LONG time and by the time we got home it was 3 hours past the kids bedtime, but well worth it. Here are a few of our memories from that night (there were tons of pictures taken) My dad was there, I don't know how he flew under the radar for pictures, but he was there too.









drama...

On the 16th while driving home from seeing our friend Doris at the hospital (she has since passed away) me and the kids were in a car accident. A kid hit me from behind and pushed me into the lady in front of me. It was drama, drama, drama, in the beginning, but thankfully everyone is okay, and the car is salvagable. The van should be done in 20 working days, so about a month, in the meantime me and the kids are rolling in an '08 4 door chevy colorado. It is a lot of fun. The kids insurance company USAA has been fantastic! They have been great with taking care of everything. We have been very blessed that a bad situation did not become a nightmare. Here are a few pictures of my baby. There is not much damage where teh kid hit me in the back, his car was totaled. The damage is mostly in the front, being in the accident reaffirmed why we spent more and bought the Honda for safety. It did a great job of bending in all the right spots that me and the kids were kept safe. I love my car!

Comings and goings

We are still here, I am the biggest blogging slacker ever, soo sorry. These past few weeks have been pretty fun, and busy. On the 24th of August Prince started school. ( it was also the 5th anniversary of the day we got engaged!) He loves his teachers, classes, practicum, and has made a lot of new friends. It has been exciting getting back into school mode.

We also said good bye to our dear Auntie Melany. She headed back to the Y for her sophomore year and we miss her tons. It was SOOOO much fun hanging out this summer She also just got a job as a lifeguard at BYU. There were 108 people who tried out and she was one of 4 that they picked and the only girl! We are so proud of her
August was also my dads 25th backwards birthday. We had a little party for him...ate some yummy food....got some fun gifts....and hung out with family. It was great. Love you TONS dad!

One of the few pictures of me and Prince.

The same weekend Melany left and my dad had his birthday my grandparents came to visit. We had a BLAST. Us girls shopped a lot we hit Borders, Old Navy,town square, the dollar tree twice and spent 3 hours at D.I. finding lots of treasures and a "Free sale" It is so fun to find old things and revamp them. (I am pretty high with all of the paint fumes I have inhaled.) It was fun to see my kids get to know Grandma Annie and Grandpa Ray. We had such great times and made tons of memories!
It was also the first time they had met my niece Tessa.

This is our 4 generation picture that was taken at 7:30 in the morning, so of course I look terrible, but everyone is all ready and cute. Oh well..

Thanks for visiting we love you guys!

Today was also the first day Samarrah and Ayo went to nursery by themselves for the full 2 hours. I am really excited for them, (and me of course) and they were well rewarded. ( we bribe them with m&ms, we are so not above that, whatever works right!?!) They had so much fun, I just can't believe how big they are getting. They are amazing people!
