We're baaack!

Okay, I have been a HUGE blogging slacker and have fallen way behind! We had a crazy busy summer that I will catch up on at some point but as for right now I just had to make some time to post about our weekend. We had a very special day yesterday because our sweet little Breckyn was baptized. I can't believe she is already 8! Time goes by way too fast. She was so excited for this day, she has been counting it down for the past two weeks.

Breckyn had a lot of support from her friends and family. We had a very nice program with her grandmas talking about what it means to be baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost, her grandpas said the prayers, her sisters played the piano and led the music and all her siblings and cousins sang "I am a Child of God". Kaden of course was a little character and pulled a fabulous 'Ta-da' pose at the end of the musical number. Very cute, gave us all a little chuckle. Here's Breckyn with her Best Friend Forever Graci. In just a couple of months it will be her turn.

Ashlyn has started playing lacrosse and later Saturday afternoon we went and watched her game. She got a chance to play D-wing... I really don't know what that means except that she ran up and down the field a lot. Here she is taking a shot at the goal. Look at that form.

Breckyn and Graci were cheering the team on from the sidelines. My favorite cheer they say is "Totally, fer sure, I just got a manicure. The sun, up there, is shining on my gorgeous hair. My make-up is smear'in I think I lost an earr'in. 19 - 24, I don't know the stupid score. Go, Go, Fight, Fight, Gee I hope I look alright! Gooo Team! Hoo-ray!" You really don't get the full effect unless you see it with the actions. It's hilarious.

Mady was also very busy this weekend. She is dancing in Odyssey Dance Theater's performance "Thiller". She is in the Chucky number and she had 3 performances this weekend in Park City. She will have 2 more at Kingsbury Hall later this month. She is having so much fun, she loves it! Here she is getting ready...

And here is the final product. She and her friend Madison were having too much fun playing photo shoot in their costumes.



This is a picture of all the girls in her cast.

Saturday night I went with some friends in the neighborhood to the Salt Lake City "Ghost Tours". One of our friends is a storyteller this year for the tour and we went to support her. Here she is telling us a spooky story.

Ahhh! We are so scared! Britt and I were a little nervous for the tour, we don't really like scary stories.

Some of the ladies walking through one of the parks downtown that is said to be haunted. I hid in the bushes and scared a couple of them as they walked past. :)

Boo! Here we are being spooky ghosts in the graveyard. I know, we look pretty scary.

We had a great time and learned some really interesting stuff even though it was a little creepy.
