Diamondbacks Game!

2008-08-24T09:30:00.001-07:00

Mikayla got to go to the diamondbacks game Cheerleader night and perform at the pre-game! The whole cheer squad got to go, and they were really the only squad who actually knew the entire 4 minute routine so they were up on the big screen about 97% percent of the time! Then afterwards, they got to stay up on the suite level for hours and ate all the food they could get.

Cheer Camp

2008-07-21T17:16:00.001-07:00

There's mikayla picking her nose and flicking it on diamond ^

This is toooo easy now a days.

Sooo Mikayla was just at cheer camp for 4 days. She was lucky and camped at a 5 star hotel resort! Where they spent a day at the water park and the whole cheer squad went down the 50 foot steeeeeep slide where mikayla spent an hour and fifteen minutes at the top panicking because she was so scared!! They spent their days having classes with UCA cheerleaders as their coaches. Mikaylas whole team made it into an ELITE stunting class where they tried out incredible stunts. Everyday was an exhausting day but she had a lotttttt of fun and learned a lot!!

Mikayla's Studying

2008-07-11T09:31:00.000-07:00

Bobby

2008-07-07T19:23:00.000-07:00

This is the little demon that is the reason for all the scars and scratches on our feet, arms and legs! Bobby! He's crazy!! We're so sick of him attacking us that our solution has been to squirt him with water. Its kinda working, but I think it'll take some time.

Meeting Mallory's Family

2008-07-06T14:08:00.000-07:00

Mallory is so cute with her nieces and nephews. But this niece could totally be passed off as her own daughter. They look so much alike. Its adorable!

Gracie

Its pretty crazy how much they're alike. Mom and Mallory's mom are both like in love with roosters, and they both showed up that day dressed the same head to toe. From their hairstyle to their red shirts, to the denim caprees, to the red flip flops. Crazy, eh?

Sadie

All the kids waited and waited for Uncle Jesse to go swimming with them! They had a blast!

"Most Converted Camper Award"

2008-07-05T22:40:00.000-07:00

Sooo Mikayla just attended Girls Camp for her 4th year at Camp Zion. Camp Zion is like up in Tucson on Mt. Lemon. The first two days was straight up hiking through mountains. The 4th years all got the chance to repel off a mountain, which Mikayla was the first to do out of all the girls. Then they started their hike which was 4½ miles the first day and 5½ miles the second day. It was an over night hike which bacically means that the girls had to find a flat area to set up tents and sleep. That night in the middle of the woods, a bear came and charged at the priesthood men who were there which was only about 20 feet from where all the girls were at. Somehow, Mikayla (the most non-camper/hiker person in the world) was at the front of the line the second day and was the first girl back. Not to mention the fact that the second day was allllll uphill and switchbacks. Somehow she sucked it all up and was determined to just get back to civilization! So The whole week was eventfull. She peed on the side of a mountain all week and shot pellet guns and did archery and learned line dancing! She also did a few cute crafts and took the 1st years snipe hunting!! It was a hard week for Mikayla due to the fact that she HATES camping and alll that comes with it (bugs, trees, rocks, dirt, etc). But she managed to make it alive.

Weekend in Glenwood

2008-06-17T17:41:00.001-07:00

Mom and Mikayla left Friday morning at 5 am to fly to Utah. We got there around 9ishh and got a free upgraded car. A MUSTANG!!!!!! Soo we basically had to wait until 6 at night to pick up Levi and drive down to Glenwood, so we spent the day at the Gateway Mall. We saw the Chronicles of Narnia movie and just about died of bordem. Other than the movie, we looked in every store for a pair of Rainbow flip flops that Mikayla is DYING to have. Sooo after this we decided to run to a k-mart to get a few things we needed then we had some extra time so we looked for a Taco Bell. Now dont you worry, we pretty much drove around the entire state of Utah looking for a flipping Taco Bell. And when we finally found one like 8957392 years later, it had no meat. WHAT THE?! So they tell us of a few like a couple miles away basically where we started looking. Wow. So that was Friday. Saturday the girls in the family went shopping in Richfield. WOOO MIKAYLA GOT TO DRIVE THE MUSTANG!!!! Got a few things at Christiansons. That was Saturday. Sunday was church and the day that the whole family gathered and ate. We watched this DVD of Brian Reegan who was absolutely hillarious and everyone was crying tears of laughter. Haa. Then Mikayla, Joelle, Levi and Matt all played their Hide and Seek game at night when it was dark outside for a few hours and were up all night in the Bunkhouse laughing at Levi's goofiness. Then Monday, we headed home.

Bobby!

2008-06-08T15:09:00.000-07:00

Yayyyy! This is our new kitten!!! Its actually a "he" but we always call it a "she". Why? I have no idea. It took us like 3 days to give him a name,and we thought of patches. Butt Mom started thinking about "bob". Haha. When Bob goes and eats his food he like meows while he eats, just like Bob from What About Bob does. Well, he doesnt meow. But he makes awkward noises while he eats. And also, Bob's name is Bob because whenever we go somewhere, we feel guilty for leaving Bob behind since he's only 6 weeks old. So we say "What about Bob?". Hahaha:)

Bob is like mom's best friend and they're pretty much attached at the hip and they play together all day long and when we get home he runs over to her and she gets down and plays with him.

Sooo cute!!
