High School Musical 3

HSM 3- LOVED IT! I'll be honest, we all loved it! The girls for the obvious reasons, and me because it is a value teaching, moral, 'make you feel good' movie. With a wonderful message throughout- no matter what, "BE TRUE TO YOURSELF".(and a Jammin' soundtrack, as well) I will use any tools possible to help teach my girls that valuable lesson. HSM 3 Fan Club

All 3 HSM movies have been filmed here in Utah. We have toured the movie sets at East High School, and it always fun to see local scenery, local celebrities, and our famous 'extra' friends on the BIG screen.

Hike to the "Y"

We had a 'family date' today and decided to hike to the "Y". Not an easy task, but lots of fun. About halfway up. We really live in a beautiful place.

We all made it! Actually sitting on the "Y"

We are so proud of everyone for making it all the way with hardly any complaining. Best parts-- being together, beautiful scenery, gorgeous day, 'teamwork' and ice cream from BYU creamery as a finishing reward!

Haircuts

Before After

Brittany and Caroline's new haircuts. Paige was NOT interested in getting hers cut.

Apple Farm Field Trip

Caroline's preschool went to a local apple farm. Paige and I got to tag along.
We got to pick our own apples...

and use pumpkin as seats for Paige, Sydney, Caroline and Ashtyn...

We saw 'spooky ghosts' ...and Pumpkinheads...

Caroline ate hers down to the seeds!

And to end our day, Sisters and apple spice doughnuts---What could be better?

Lighting aka The Destroyers

Brittany really enjoyed soccer this season. She actually learned a lot of about the fundamentals of the game. Thanks to her wonderful coaches, and good friends, The Wrights. Her greatest discovery was, "when you play your position, your don't have to run as much." ( good thing to know, I'd say). Even mom and dad learned the basic rule of soccer. We are actually becoming big fans of the sport! We feel sports for girls play such a rule in building self cofidence. So the fact that neither one of our girls, Brittany or Paige wanted the soccer season to end, is a good blessing for us. Way to go Lighting(Brittany) and Wild Strawberries (Paige).

May all your days be CIRCUS days

Amber and I took our girls to the 'Greatest Show on Earth'. It is always a toss up if that statement applies to the circus or the 7 of these girls all together.

Caroline, Amber and Aubrey

Sydnee, Paige, Lauren, Mallorie and Brittany

This was a girls only day--Circus, Dinner and Shopping. Good Times, Best Friends! We LOVE our girls!
