70th wedding anniversary

The kids and I traveled to Utah to celebrate my grandparents 70th wedding anniversary. Yes, that is 70! My grandparents favorite dining place is in Brigham City, Utah and it's called Maddox. It was so fun to see Aunts, uncles, and cousins.

All of my nieces and nephews are above, those not pictured include Zane who is rolling down the hill and T.J. was unable to make this trip.

The four girls, my sisters. We had so much fun being together, which doesn't happen very often.
I promise Ally, I'll sit at the kids table next time.

Picture time, for all the families. This just happens to be mine, minus all of our husbands. Not that they wouldn't get into the picture, none of them were able to attend.

Cousin time, Austin and Devyn, I believe she is trying to do a body slam on the tramp.

Cheers, Catie and Avery always celebrating. A great time was had by all. If you think about it we accomplished alot in 2 days. Arrived in SLC at 3:00 a.m., Anniversary dinner 1:00 p.m., arrived at Mom's around 4:00 p.m., Annie cut avery and catie's hair, saw "Sex and the City" with girls and Mom, finally went to bed at 12:30 a.m., arrived at church with Brett's parents at 9:00 a.m., Made it to Jer's for late lunch 5:00p.m., left for airport and arrived back in Las Vegas around 10:00 p.m.

hi daddy why didn't you come? from trevor

hi daddy, it's avery, wish i could be there.

The curtains go up and the Lights go out!

It all started with a broken video camera and having to run to K-mart to buy a video camera so Brett could see Dev's dance recital, due to him being at Trevor's championship baseball game. The culprit that broke the video camera looks really worried. He is on the left in the window, thanks TJ, ka-ching$$$. Although these two big brothers did video tape their sisters very well.

This is our little "Barbie Hollaback Girl" dance routine. We worked so hard on Devyn not pursing her lips together and showing her teeth so that we could see her nice smile. Humm, let's see if that worked...NOT!

These little Barbie girls just lit up the stage with their fired up moves. Nice teeth Devyn.

Too cute. Show those teeth!!!

Then we move on to the "Cooties" dance from Hairspray. The girls really got into their far out costumes and being able to hula hoop.

These two crack me up. I was surprised they didn't do their signature move of the "Charlie Angels" pose. Notice Dev's pursed lips again.

This year it was mandatory that flowers were given. Last year was our rookie season and we showed up empty handed. Dev had a mental breakdown. Devyn was so great and it was enjoyable to watch her participate in something she absolutley loves doing. Great job, girls. We then raced to the car and tried to get to Trevor's baseball game. When we got there the game was neck and neck. Trevor had a great hit and he moved around the bases.

The game is in the last inning and we are at the bottom of our line up. We are down by one run. The kid at bat has not hit a ball all year, he kind of tries but I think he's afraid he might actually hit it. We have our slowest runner on third, (the tying run). The tension is so high. The main umpire got sick, we got a relief umpire in, it was just a crazy game. We knew that we had to tie the game to go into another inning, so the guy on third leaves the base to run home just as the catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher, the crowd in on their feet and we are yelling for him to slide, run faster, etc. and just as he approached home plate................the lights go out! What in the world! It couldn't have been timed any better. So the umpires decide along with the president over Little league that we will resume tomarrow.

After this long saga over baseball, we show up on Saturday and Andreas, the kid who has not hit ALL year, is at bat. The count is 2 and 2. We all pray for 2 balls and that's what happens. But then it hit me, OH MY HE--, Trevor's up to bat. The whole game is on his shoulders. And after a great at bat he walks the tying run home. Then Jacob comes up and hits a bouncing ball to the short stop that he bobbles. Jake is safe at first and Daniel runs home for the winning run. Congrat's Rangers!!!
