Help Fight Childhood Cancer!

Eat at Chili's Monday September 29th and help fund cancer research and treatment for children. All profits from that day go directly to St. Jude Children's hospital. If you aren't familiar with St. Jude's, they are an amazing resource for families who are affected by childhood cancer. Regardless of a patient's ability to pay, all children receive the best cancer treatment available.
Take your family out for a fun night and know you are helping families across the nation as they face one of the toughest challenges imaginable.
P.S. Try the new Chocolate Chip Molten Cake- It's absolutely delicious!!!

Jade is a BIG GIRL!!!

Two big things have changed for Jade in the last week.
1. She started Preschool. She loves it and is making some wonderful friends.
2. The Binky Fairies (thanks V) visited and she has been binky free for three days!!!
Honestly, I didn't think we would ever succeed in getting those damn binkies out of her life. Ugh, if I would have known the struggle that followed, I would never have put the first one in her mouth! Steve is amazing and while I was helping my dad paint his house over the weekend, he did the dirty deed and made the binks disappear. I'm doing a happy dance. I would post a few pictures here, but alas, they have been moved around on my computer and I can't find them!!! Steve is amazing. Smiles!

A Day on the Razr


We have a lovely friend (don't tell him I called him lovely, k?) who owns a Razr. He was gracious enough this past weekend to entertain us on it. The boys, six of them, piled into his truck and headed out to Three Peaks. They had a load of fun. Then, they came home to entertain us girls.
This is Ayden and Devin pretending to be daredevils.


Here is Steve and Ayden at Three Peaks.

Here is friend, trying not to dump his son out the other side.

Here are the girls going for their ride. Jade said it was "so fast!!!"

A Day at the Fair








I love my town. It's small, friendly, clean, beautiful and full of great activities for kids. The Iron County Fair does a free kids carnival on the opening day of the fair. It is SO fun. This is the second year we've gone and I remembered the camera this time! The kids had a blast. They got their faces painted, dug for gold, had an old fashioned shoot out, raced in gunny sacks, golfed, decorated cookies and so much more! Hooray for the county fair!
