Hazzah!!!

When Tim and I were first dating he took me to my first Renaissance Fair at Glen Helen. We went a couple of times and had a blast. When we first moved up to Utah we went to a St. Patrick's day parade and found out that Utah has a renaissance fair too. We thought the kids would love it, and they did. This was the second year we went. Ammon and Emma wanted the face painting. Ammon opted out for his arm and got this really cool spider and Emma had her face painted like a beautiful butterfly.
Brigham and Teancum decided they didn't want anything in hopes of maybe getting a souvenir later in the day.
Our favorite thing to watch at the fair is the full contact jousting. These guys compete all over and look just like you'd imagine them back in the day. They use real lances and hit each other very hard. It is amazing to watch.Before the "knights" start fighting they pick a beautiful maiden out of the crowd. Emma was picked to represent our knight.Here is the flower he gave her. She was so in excited..........and so the tradition continues, Hazzah! Hazzah! Hazzah!

And on and on it goes....

Happy Birthday Brigham!!
Brigham and his best friend Blake had their 5th birthday party together. They had a blast.
Happy birthday boys!


Ammon's baptism was great and we had a good turn out. He was baptized May 1st in Springville, Utah. So proud of you and your decision to be baptized.

Roller Skating...so much fun!So, some of you know that I used to go skating all the time back in the day. Well I thought I'd bring the kids to a skating rink. It was so much fun, until... The lights were low and the strobe light was on I was feeling the music and skating pretty fast when...all of a sudden...I WAS ON THE FLOOR. Ok, what just happened. All I can figure out was that something was on the floor and my skate got stuck on it and down I went. If you look at my hand my thumb got bruised and my wrist. It has probably been over 14 years since I crashed on skates. Oh well at least I had fun.
Emma and Brigham had to go to a surgical center to get their teeth fixed. They both were put under to do this and I was a little worried. Two kids in the same day that get put under for a procedure and not being able to be there while they were prepping them was a little sad. They both did really good. Emma had a harder time coming out of it. She was crying a lot and nothing I did comforted her. After about 15 minutes she was mostly back to her self. Brigham was very quiet and cuddly just like he is when he is tired.
I looked back to check on Emma and she was fast asleep still sitting like a lady.

Happy Birthday Ammon. Ammon turned 8 on his birthday and was so excited he was going to get baptized.
Yummy cake that Grandpa and Grandma got for Ammon, needless to say there wasn't anything left after we started.
Emma had a fun 3rd birthday. We had a a lot of friends over and she got a lot of fun things.

It took Emma a little while to decide what she wanted her cake to be. It turned out really cute.
I got to use some of my skills and make the cake and balloon flowers.
Ahh, so cute...and oh so yummy.

Tim had a fun birthday at Pirate Island, this was our waitress. She was a great pirate. We had a blast.
