Drew's Pinewood Derby

Drew made a Mike Trout Pinewood Derby Car.  He came in 4th place, he wasn't too happy about it and was trying to hold back the tears.  So cute to see these boys try really hard to have good sportsmanship, when you know they all really want to win!

 Pack #35

Kamryn's Win

Kamryn really wanted to enter this coloring contest at her school.  When the morning came that it was due to turn it in she had not done it and was panicking.  So to get her quiet I sent her off to school with crayons and the paper.  She must have done a good job coloring at school before the bell rang because she won the contest out of 3 Kindergarten classes!  Her prize was $10 to use at the Book Fair!  Way to go Sweets!

Utah Trip 2014

So we started on our UT trip with a little of a rough start.  We were all packed up and heading on  our way out of town when I decided to stop by Honda and fill some air in my tires.  When I got there they told me I had 1 nail in the left tire and 2 in the right tire and they were not repairable! So after many tears and some frantic phone calls to Travis, we ended up on the road 4 hours later with 4 new tires!  We stopped at the Shipps in Vegas at 8pm.....so sad I didn't get pictures.  After that we headed to Orem, Ut to see the Deckers!
    
 Kristen & Meredith
One of my most treasured friends of 23 years!!  We had a blast shopping and reconnecting.  Sadly my stomach wasn't up to par, but I was determined not to let it get in the way of my BFF time! The picture below is us in College as roommates.....I have lived some of my best memories with her!

 Salisbury's & Decker's
 Emery, Kamryn, and Reese
 We also went to Provo's new Aquatic Center, it was awesome!
 BYU Creamery!  We love this stop!

 Watching Frozen in the Decker's theater........kids loved it!
 
 A stop at Janell's One Sweet Slice was so fun and delicious!  Showing her shop AND her book she wrote!

Becca. Sadie, Kamryn, Davie, & Addie......cousins!
We stayed at Trent & Janell's house.  All the girls got their hair braided in ready for the movie night Frozen
 Liz told me all the girls were fighting to sleep by Kamryn, 2 on the side and one across the top of her, too cute!
Drew, Luke, & Kayson

 A stop in to Travis Aunt Jane, she is such a sweet person!  This picture was taken because Brynn was helping her set up her profile picture for Instagram, Haha!

 A much needed Sisters Night Out! Missing Jenna:(........We brought Mishaun an early gift.  The waitress saw and asked if we were celebrating a birthday, we said yes, and next thing we knew they had a saddle Mishaun had to sit on while all the waiters sang to her!  Haha!
 Happy Birthday Mishaun!
 
 Dakota, Kamryn, Riley, and Davie..........Cousins all ready for church!
 Kennedy, Madison, Brynn.........cousins all ready for church!
Drew loves his cousin Jarom!  He just got his mission call to Lyon France!
Had a family dinner on Sunday with Trent, Leroy, Mishaun, Liz's, and My families!
Cousins!!!!
On the drive home I had the flu with Diarrhea!  I had to pull over 5 times on my drive to Vegas.  Liz and I decided to stop at Cove Fort, for the tour AND the toilet!
 Cove Fort stop, remembering my parents when they served their mission there!
Last time we were here was 8 years ago......had to get another picture in front of the Salisbury Stage Office!
I felt horrible pulling up sick to Julie's house, but I knew I could drive another 3 1/2 hours to make it home. She was so sweet, she took such good care of me that I felt 100% better in the morning!  Thanks Jules! xoxo
After we got home and saw Travis, he had lost 4lbs while I was gone.  Poor guy, no one to make him food!

A New Workout

Travis has now joined CrossFit, he has a deal where they trade work.  He does their accounting work and he gets free membership.  He is really enjoying the change, I can always gauge how hard the workout was by how far his sweat ring goes down on his shirt!
