Happy 4th of July

So on the fourth of July my boys woke me up at about 7 o'clock. I decided since we were up, I would take them to see what a real parade is all about. I took them to my parent's house to watch the neighborhood parade :) It only lasted five or ten minutes, but it was so much fun for my kids. They came away with a sack full of candy. It was fun for me to sit back and reminisce about all the years I was in that parade. I decided next year I am going to do a float and put my kids in the parade. Here are some pics for all to enjoy!

Summer Concerts Part 2

Okay I officially have the best brother EVER!! To add to my summer concert series, Jamie got me tickets to Poison. First I have to admit that I have always had a huge crush on Bret Micheals!! Big hair eighties rock band, what is there not to like?? I also have to admit I was a viewer of Bret Michaels Rock of Love I & II. The concert was awsome!! The best part was Jamie snuk me onto the floor. I went from top row lower bowl seats to seventh row on the floor. I have never been this close at a concert before. It was so much fun. I felt like I was eighteen again singing and dancing along with Poison. I am sure I looked just like I was eighteen with my awsome dance skills :) Here are some pics of the concert. They are not the greatest, but what do you expect they were taken from my cell phone.

Rock Star Glasses

JJ calls these his Rock Star glasses. He put them on Nicklaus and himself, then he wanted me to take pictures. Aren't kids great!!

Summer Concerts Part 1

First I have to start out by saying I have the best brother EVER!!!! Jamie called me Wednesday night and asked me what I was doing on Friday night. I said, "just the usual, nothing." He then replied by asking "I have two Tim McGraw tickets do you want them?" OF COURSE I DID. Who in their right mind would not want to go and see Tim McGraw?? (Heidi) :) So Friday night we dropped our kids off with Heidi (thanks for saving me last minute) and went to meet up for dinner at Tepanyaki before the concert with my brother and some of his friends. After dinner we headed over to Usana Amphitheatre for the concert. It was so much fun. I have to say that Tim is pretty easy on the eyes!! I could have watched him sing all night long!! This Thursday I am going to the Poison concert. I will have to fill everyone in on that concert next week with my summer concerts part 2. Here are some pictures of Tim for everyone to enjoy. They are not quite the same as seeing him in person though.

Happy Birthday Nicklaus

Yesterday was Niclaus' first birthday!! I can't believe my baby is a year old. Times goes by so fast!! It has been so fun to see his little personality develope the older he gets. He is truly the Thurmanator of our family.

Memorial Weekend

Even though we had crappy weather, we still managed to have fun. Saturday I took JJ up to my parent's property just east of Nephi. He had so much fun hanging out with Pappa in the mountains at the cabin. Then on Sunday we went to Adam's parents house for dinner and to hang out with Annie and Caleb one last time before they left town again. JJ and Nicklaus love playing with their aunts and uncles, they are much more fun than boring mom and dad. Then on Monday we had a BBQ with our neighbors. They have two little girls that JJ adores and loves to play with. It is always fun to spend extra time with family and friends!!!

Utah Kids Club

I was just wondering if anyone was a member of utah kids club? I was told about it today and looked it up at www.utahkidsclub.com. It looks like a good idea and isn't that expensive to join. I was just wondering if any of you readers have signed up or know more about it.
