And the Break Goes On.....

Our week has gotten better, and I am over the poop incident in the Lehi Legacy Center Pool. At least for today. We have been on shopping sprees, and played extensively with our cousins. Here is a photo of Malerie, Paige, Megs and Mace gellin out playing PS2.



Today was spent at the Hogle Zoo. Might I add it was a zoo there! Holy Cow, again everyone in Utah was there. The line to get in was insane and there were people everywhere. I saw several people there that I knew, including my next door neighbor
Randy and Cindy. Here are a few photos of the day. I always get a little stressed to take Mason AND Megan to places without Steve, BUT they did great! We didnt have any trouble at all today-except Mason hitting Meg and giving her a bloody nose.

Paigie hitching a ride with Megs.

Me and the kiddos.

Kim and Ker (not only is Kim my cousin, she is one of my best friends!)

All of the girlies!

The boys- Uncle Troy and Mace.

Spring Break- Tuesday

This year for "Spring Break" we have decided to vacation and play here in Utah. In a few weeks we will be making a getaway to Arizona to our niece Claires baptism, and to visit our good friend the Boltz family. We have been enjoying some quality, fun time together in our own backyard.

Since we arn't in Arizona we decided to go swimming for just a brief taste of summer-because the kids are dying to go swimmng in Helen's pool. So we ventured off to spend an afternoon at the Legacy Center's Swimming Pool in Lehi.

Let me preface that early this morning my sister in law Suz nicely reminded me that last summer I was so sick for weeks with that lovely pool junk-"Crypto Spyridium". Yeah thanks for the reminder Suz!-Did I really want to do this? Come on Ker-face your fears, you can do it girl!

Now mind you, I HATE going to Lehi! I hate that stupid Main street! So anytime I have to go there I have to gear up in my mind that it will take an extra freaking 30 minutes. My cute little niece Kali had been sick (she lives in Saratoga Springs)and so since we were going to Lehi we thought we would take her a little get well,cheer you up package. OH MY GOSH! A half hour later we finally arrived at the pool.

The pool-was packed. Seems like the rest of Utah county had my same intentions. So-deal with it Ker. I love that pool-All of my kids swim, so it was perfect for all. We were having this dandy time,(and had been only in the pool for 30 minutes) when we hear this lovely whistle blowing and blowing and blowing. Everyone was asked to exit the pool. I thought they were just doing a random pool check. NOPE-some one "POOPED" in the pool. I am not talking little kid poop-I am talking full on, I wanted to throw up- poop in the pool. To top it off, the pool was to be shut down for an hour. (Who can sanitize and super chlorinate a pool that large in an hour?!) The girls were disgusted and Mason was throwing a fit, and I was sick!
Everyone just wanted to get out and shower! Well, instead of refunding us, they gave us a family pool pass. Like I want to go back into their poopy pool! GRRRR!

I got into my car and literally was freaking out inside! I had to call my friend Kellie who had been sick in the summer with Crypto too. When you are as sick as I was, it was like re-living it all again.

Well here are a few photos of the fun we did have.

Meg is a little fish!

Our little school of fish!

*And to top it off, as we got out of the pool we walked into a freakin snow storm! I think I will stay home tomorrow! And I am not so sure that I love that pool anymore.

Spring Break Begins!

Monday! We had my cutie niece Brit with us for the night and day. We decided to teach her how to geo-cache, and I think she really liked it. We found all 4 of them. She found one herself.

Spying the geo-cache in a small hole by the river

Opening the cache, and enjoying the thrill of the find.

Birthday Mania at my house!

The past few years, I have been on a major trip during my birthday. It's been great because I havnt had to deal with the hoop-la. Really the only thing I do is spend an afternoon with my friend Cheri-This tradition has gone on now for 20 years!


So being that we did not travel this year-I was here! I tried not to make a big deal out of my birthday-BUT it ended up being very high profile! Thanks Stevie Wonder Buns!

My day started by going to the gym bright and early. I was suppose to pick Deanne up. She DOGGED me- or so I thought! She was at the gym arranging a cool card and a little birthday fun. I left with silly string in my hair-and the festivities had begun!

At 7:00 my dad called me-I got my birth story. Always a treat. Its the same every year. Never changes. Thanks Dad

Shortly after that-it hit me with full force. Un beknownst to me a Birthday Calling Tree had begun. Steve had called a few people and told them to call me to wish me a happy birthday. They were to call a few people and they were to call a few people and so on and so on.

I was surprised that all of these friends of mine were calling me and their kids. Then my sister in law in Arizona called. (that was random to me-we dont talk often on the phone, but I was excited she called), then a cousin I only talk to once a year called to wish me Happy's. I was shocked, then the phone just wouldnt stop! I was going crazy. I couldnt even get in the shower! What was happening. There was not a clue at this point as to what was happening--until my friends mom in Soda Springs Idaho called me. She spilled the beans! I immediately called Steve-STEVE MAKE IT STOP! He laughed and responded by saying, "Sorry, there is no stopping it!"

It was nice getting all of the calls-half of them I didnt have a clue who they were, but the singing was great. So for those of you who called me,texted me, wrote on my face book, emailed me, or sent e cards THANK YOU!

If I was "queen" for just one day!

* Please note that I am singing that song in my head right now. Saturday we spent the day at a competition with Mikayla. It was the "Gotta Move" comp at UVU. It was actually a good comp. I liked it because it was so organized and there was enough space for the girls to dance. Grandma Preece came to watch. Mikayla did great! Her and Jill did their duo in the morning and did so great! They took "Queen" which is best over-all in their catagory. We were so proud of them! That afternoon they competed as teams, and did great. Jr. Preps recieved two first places (Crying,and Proud Mary), and a second place (Dream Girls).


Some of the responses of the day were:

-Jill called her Dad to tell her she got "Queen", and he said "What, you got creamed!"
-"Queenie boppers"

Anyways, it was a fun day. Center Stage did awesome! All of the hip hop teams did great! AND our director Cassie Ford got "BEST Choreography!" WTG Cassie!, We got "Best Sportsmanship", And High Points for our studio! Yeah teams of Center Stage!

Miracles Do Happen!

It's true. I am actually enjoying Mason's soccer season! Yes I have proof that he is actually playing this season. AND he is loving it! The last two sessions, I have been mortified. He was totally not in the game. He was running around with his shorts and shirt over his head, chasing butterflies, checking out sprinkler heads, peeing on trees (yes it is true! ask me if I was mortified). I was so frustrated. I had to be drug to games by Stephen, as it was my motherly duty to go watch him play (or not!). It seemed that he was there to eat snacks and embarrass me! Steve was extrememly frustrated with me because I just was dying that he wouldnt play. Afterall, I have champion dancers-I needed a champion soccer son. I was reminded by several of my friends and Stephen that he is only 5! I was reassured over and over again that he would get it. Guess what---they were right, he is getting it, and he is playing soccer. So I am enjoying watching Mace out on the soccer field, and he is doing great! Go Mace Go!


Getting into the game!

Casey, Mason, and Teague-- Go Orange Lightning!

And the Dance goes on....and on....and on...

Megs had another dance comp this weekend. They debut'their new dance. "Witch Doctor" from Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can confidently say that it was awesome! It was a darling dance. The kids did a super job and their costumes were great. Miss Auti has done a great job with these kids. It's been fun to watch them grow over the years. This particular dance was great because they went from the "jive" right into some hip hop! It was great. The crowd loved it and of course the judges always love our kids! Whats not to love! LOL

The Nicest Kids In town....

My darn camera was not working right! So the photos ended up dark. These photos are from "Witch Doctor".

We feel very fortunate to have our girls train at a great studio. Center Stage Utah! They have the best teachers and directors. Thanks Auti, Savannah, Cassie and Brandy!
