Amelia's Birthday

Today we celebrated My 13th Birthday. We set up our very own fall carnival in the backyard and invited all of my friends over. The guests enjoyed visiting each of the booths – complete with treats and prizes for the winners. Following the carnival the girls and I watched a movie and each went home with a homemade caramel apple. We all had a great time, including Zoey, who took advantage of every piece of hot popcorn that hit the concrete patio floor. :)

The girls also enjoyed fishing for some candy and toys at the fish pond. :)

Starting school Again

The first day of school was great for me! Starting in a new school, new friends, new teachers. I knew it was going to be hard, but it was better then I thought! Cant wait to finish off the year at Mt. Ridge junior high!!!

Madeline's Party

Madeline's birthday party was a huge hit. The girls watched soul surfer, chatted for a little while, and when it became dark; roasted marshmallows and played night games. What a fun night with all of Madeline's friends.

Madeline's B-Day

Even though Madeline spent most of her birthday in a bus coming home from trek, we had a great surprise in store for her when she got home. We decorated her room, set up the presents, and got the cake ready to cut into. Madeline had a great birthday and loved every minute of our surprise.

Fireworks on the 25th

Fireworks on the 25th. Sadly we could not spend this with Madeline since she was on Trek, but we still had a great time. Even with the rain, we attempted a few times and just finally decided to just stick it out until we were all out of fireworks. Subtract the rain, it was a pretty great way to spend the night.

Stadium of Fire

On the 2nd of July My family and I had the opportunity to go to the Stadium of Fire. We had the chance to hear David Archuleta, and Brad Paisley sing. It was a great experience and the fireworks at the end were priceless! And what made the 2nd of July even better, was that I could spend it with one of my closest friends.
