Driving Lessons

As I was driving home from my sisters house this weekend with the girls in the back seat I reached into my purse and proceeded to put some chap stick on. Hali, the backseat driver, says, "Mom we are not supposed to put makeup on when we drive 'cause it is a distraction. We also are not supposed to text or talk on the phone." Me (trying not to laugh) said, "That's right where did you learn that from?" Hali, "Safety Patrol on Playhouse Disney." I guess I better watch more Disney channel so I to can learn how to drive "Safer"!

Night before the fourth fireworks!

Summertime fun!

Just some random pictures from different pools over the last couple of weeks!

4th of July 2009

We had an awesome Fourth of July!! We decided to "skip" the parade this year as we knew we would have the girls up really late at the Stadium of Fire. We got to Provo around 1:00 or so and hung out at the Freedom Festival in the park. There was a lot of cool stuff going on there. We didn't stay for to long though, because Tori had heard on the radio that if you were on the west side of the stadium at 5:30 you could win a backstage pass to the Jonas Brothers. We got there on time, but unfortunately she didn't win......

Oh well! So we kicked back on the steps of the stadium until they let us take our seats.

"Some" of us were "Not happy Not" waiting in the sun!

Once we made it in we met up with my sister and her family!

(Take note this is the first time her hair has ever looked blonder than mine! She must have been spending more time in the sun, "Salon" than me!)

Me and two of my girls!

The show started out with four F-16's flying over from Hill Air Force Bace. We actually see these fly over our house in Layton quite frequently.

There were also two Apache (I think) helicopters from the base that flew over!

Mike loving his little girl!

We didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked. Mike was busy using the camera to take pictures of the show. I forgot to bring "MY" camera in with me. I promise I won't forget it next time!

The main highlight of the show of course was the Jonas Brothers. When the Jo Bro's came on stage every girl in the audience screamed!! I think I even let out a few screams myself. (Of course .... I was only supporting my girls!) They were really good. Of course the girls didn't they it lasted long enough, but by this time it was almost 10:30 and we still had a firework show to see.

This me and Hali dancing to "Sweet Caroline".


Not the best picture, but the only one of me and my girls.

The firework show was the best one I think I have ever seen. The girls loved them. Hali and Lexi's eyes were fixed on them the whole time. It was definately a spectacular show.


Once we were in the car and on the way home Hali said to me, "Mom this was the best fourth of July ever!"

What an awesome day!

Hali Bug!

Yesterday we were talking about someone who had passed away, so I asked Hali if she knew where heaven was. She pointed to the sky and said, "It's way way up in the sky above the clouds." I then asked who lives there? She replied, "All the dead people." I love the innocent minds of kids! Just to let you know she did say "Jesus" when we asked her who else lived there!

Hali lately

Hali ,as most of us know, always has alot to say. So here are a few of her latest comments....

We had been swimming and went back to grandma's to take a shower. I came out of the bathroom with a towel on my head.... Hali came in the room looked at me and said, "Where's my Mom?" I looked at her and said, "what?" She again repeated, "where's my mom?" I said, "Hali I am your mom. She just looked at me and said, "Oh!" then she walked off. This of course is hilarious since I am a twin. I believe this is the first time she has every truly confused me with my sister!

Today as we were driving in the car discussing what we were doing for the fourth. Mike said I am not to "hip" on going to the parade. Hali immediately said, "There are hippos in the parade?"

My other favorite is when Hali tells you a joke she will ask you if you think it's funny. I always reply yes. Hali's usual reply back is, "Then why aren't you laughing?"

I love this little girl!!
