No Joke!!!

Ok, this may be dumb to most people, but I am so excited about it. I have this list. A list of things that I want to do in my life. A few of the things on it are things like, going parasailing, skydiving, I really want to be the voice of a cartoon character, writing a fiction novel, and going heliboarding. Any way, these are some of them but you get the idea. Some of them may come true and some may not, but last night one of the things on my list came true. I have always wanted to capture a bolt of lightning on film. Have you ever seen thoughs calenders that have neet pictures of things. They always have a picture of lightning and I think it's cool. It may be dumb but I have always wanted to get a picture of a lightning bolt. I don't have a fancy camera or anything. I know that if i did I could leave the shutter open for a long time and have a better chance, but I don't have that. I just have what ever I have with me at the time. Any time there is a lightning storm I will try to take a picture of it. One time I was trying to use my cell phone camera for like an hour. I have tryed so many times to do it, but it's hard because you don't just have to be quick to take the picture, you have to hope your pointing the camera in the right direction too. Any ways last night Mike and I were driving home and there was a storm in front of us. I got out my camera and assumed the position. As the lightning struck I pushed the button on the camera as fast as I could. I expected to look down as usual to see that I had pushed it to late, but no. There it was on the screen of the camera. I had captured the lightning on the screen. i couldn't believe it. I looked at Mike and started yelling, "I DID IT! I DID IT! I can die happy now. Just kidding I have more things on my list." But I was really happy. I know it may be dumb but here is the proof of the blessed moment in time. I AM SO HAPPY!!! HEE HEE HEE!!! : )

Mormon Miracle Pagent

This Saturday night we decided to take a trip to Manti for the Mormon Miracle Pagent. Mike had seen it before but I never had so we went down to watch. We stopped in Ephriam and ate at Fat Jacks Pizza witch is now called Roys Pizza i guess. It was good. They have this old fashion ice cream and candy shop there. That is why Wade is smiling so big in this picture. You can't see it but the wall in front of him is covered in diffrent kinds of candy. He loved it. When we got to the pagent and layed down our blanket Wade looked up at the temple and said, "Mom, is that the Temple?" I said, "yes it is." Then he said, " but mom, where's the guy." I realized he was looking up and talking about the angel Moroni. It was cute, I told him this temple didn't have and angel Moroni on it. He seemed to understand. It continues to amaze me every day the things Wade notices. The pagent was neet but the mosquitoes were not. Oh well. The show was great, both Kingston and Wade watched the whole thing. I love the Manti Temple it is so beautiful.

A.F. Fitness Center Swimming Fun.

Last night we took Wade to the A.F. Fitness Center for some swimming fun. They have some fun stuff there. They have some little slides and a big slide. Mike tryed to get Wade down the big slide, but he had to take of his life jacket to do it and Mike had to catch him at the end cause the pool was to deep for him to touch. When Mike came down Wade just jumped into the lap of the pretty life gaurd at the top of the slide. When I finally got up there he was just hugging her and smiling. She said that she thought he was so cute. Man, he knows how to work it. We finally got him to go down, but I didn't get it on tape cause I had to catch him. It was cute though. He stayed up the whole time untill the very last turn flipped him onto his head. I could tell he was scared but he just kept saying, "That was so much fun." What a brave little guy.

Kingston loves his bath.

Kingston loves his bath. He splashes and splashes. It is so cute. He does it every time that we give him a bath so I though I better get it on tape before he stops doing it. We didn't know if it was appropriate to show a naked baby so we covered him up with a wash cloth. It's good to be modest. Anyways we think he is so cute. He gets funner every day.

Take me out to the ball game!!!

This Monday night for family night we headed up to Salt Lake for a Bee's game. We went with some of our great friends Josh and Alicia Brown and thier two kids Jaxon and Marabelle and Brooke and Vaughn Schouten and their little bun in the oven (no name picked out yet). It was so much fun to be out in the warm nice weather and watch a baseball game. We ate hot dogs and rolled in the grass. As you can see Wade loves hot dogs. It was so much fun, and the kids loved it.
Kingston enjoyed watching the game too.
Fun family night.

Wade and Jaxon had so much fun rolling down the grass hill and dancing to the music. Here is a little video of the boys doing summer saults. I'm not sure if that's how you spell it, but maybe they call it that cause you do them in the summer down grassy hills like this. just a thought.

Timp, cave hike.

This Saturday afternoon we decided to hike up to the Timpanogos caves. It is about a mile and a half hike straight up the side of the mountain. It is paved the whole way thank goodness, but it was still harder than I thought it would be. We had a great time. This is all of us at the top. We made it! See how Mike is carrying Kingston in the snuggly and Wade on his shoulders? That's how he carried the boys most of the way. Wow what a studd. I was impressed. Some other people on the trail made comments about how crazy he was carrying both of them. I'm just glad I'm married to such an awesome guy who would do that.
Me and my guys on the way up. I made it about one fourth of the way before I handed Kingston over to Mike.
Kingston kept trying to fall asleep. We turned him around at one point so that he could sleep easier, but he didn't like it. He really likes to face forward. I can already tell that he has a stubborn personality. He lets you know when he doesn't like something.

What a pretty view. The view on the hike is so awesome. It was kinda scarry because alot of the trail is on the side of big cliffs. Everytime Wade wanted to walk by his self I was worried he was going to fall off the edge. We just made sure he walked on the inside of us. I was still paranoid. I'm kinda a paranoid person.
Mike and King. Waiting for our turn to go in to the cave. So cute.
Me and Wade-o in the cave. It was so neet. I had never been in Timp cave before. It was really different and cooler than I thought it would be. If you haven't ever done it you should. It was really cool. Wade loved it, but he wasn't allowed to tuch anything. That was really hard for him.
When we made it back down the trail their was this lady that was letting the kids pan for gold. Wade loved it.
Wade is holding up his gold he found in his pan. He was really proud. Wow what a fun day we had. We were so tiered by the end but it was so great to spend time with eachother.

Ahhh!! Saturday Mornings.

I have said it before that I love saturday, but I really love Saturday mornings. Usually Mike is gone to work before Wade gets up (I'm usually asleep too. It depends on Kingston) but on Saturday Wade always climbs into bed with us and snuggels. This Sat. morning I just layed in bed with my family and thought how lucky I was and how much I tressure that time we have together. Man, I love my three guys so much.
