4th of July Ely Trip

For the 4th of July we took a short trip to Ely, Nevada to ride an old steam engine (number 93) with Mick's family. The ride was fun, the kids loved it, and the fireworks seemed to never end! It also came with a tasty BBQ before the train ride.

Brady's 6th Birthday

Brady turned six years old and we celebrated with a couple of small parties. First, he had his grandparents over and Uncle Bruce and Luis. A couple of days later, he had his friends Mya, Ben and cousin Chase over for party number two to play games and have cake. Both parties were of course train themed. Later he went to his favorite place for dinner, Panda Express for orange chicken and mandarin chicken.

We went to Snowbird in June for a few days. Inbetween the rain, we managed some trips to the pool and the playground which are the kids favorites.

Wild West Show for Brady's class - 2009

May 28th Brady's class and another did some songs and play about the west which was so cute and his family plus Grandma and Chase came to see him. He did such a good job and it was so cute I cried towards the end realizing that he is not my little boy anymore and will be going to 1st grade this year. He was a cow and got to mow alot and sing so good. He has made us so proud of him and can't wait to see what more he will learn in school.

New Car for Em

So as you can see we have a new car for me which I'm loving and already put on flowers in the windows to make it more a girly car. The kids love both and Mick enjoys not waking all of the boys up in the morning for the a ride to the train which is nice.
