30!!!

On the 22nd I turned 30. I can not believe I am that old!! Everyone says the thirties are the new twenties...I guess I will find out. My wonderful husband went completely out of the norm and threw me a surprise party. I love Corey dearly but he is not the best at keeping surprises. However, I must say that this was a surprise, completely unexpected. He made such an effort especially being gone to Phoenix the weekend before for a World Softball tournament. I was so impressed at all the arrangments and detail he put into it, even down to my favorite cake...red velvet! Thanks to Courtney for hosting it at her house. She did such a great job with all the decorations and set up. I had such a wonderful time as did the kids, the food was delicious, and the company was great.
A funny note, if you add up all the kids there, we had 13 boys and 1 baby girl. I wish we could have gotten a picture with all the kids(9) and babies(5), but you know that is just one daunting task!

It Happened Again!!

Most of you know back in November Talyn fell & hit his tooth knocking it back up into his gums. Fortunately, the tooth came back down on its own and is fine. Well, on Tuesday Talyn was playing on a playground. He fell and hit his face. When I got to him, blood was pouring from his mouth and nose. We rushed him to his pediatric dentist. Unfortunately, they had to pull his tooth. So now he will be toothless until his permanent tooth comes in! How do you knock 2 teeth out in less than a year!!

State Fair 2008

Every year since I can remember my mom and I have gone to the State Fair. We have carried on that tradition with Talyn. Talyn loved the fair because of all the "horsee's", the "mooo's", the "baaah's", & all the other animals. Of course he enjoyed riding the pony! The fair has definately changed over the years but I hope it is a tradition we continue with for years to come.

2008 WJ Alumni Basketball Tourney!

For the past several years West Jordan Highschool has put on an alumni basketball tournament for a fundraiser. Since Corey played highschool ball he goes back and plays in the tournament. It is always fun to see familiar faces from school that you don't see but once a year at the tournament. This year his team had to scrap together a team because several of their usual players weren't able to play. they picked up a few guys that graduated their year but didn't play basketball.
