Parades/ Soccer/ Party/ Rodeo

We went to the Children's parade on Friday. Cutler was begging me all week that his school was going to be in the parade. He wanted to be in it cause Tayden would be in it on Saturday. They had to either walk or ride their scooters in the parade. Cutler didn't want to walk. He wanted me to get him a scooter. He bugged me about that all week. I got him a scooter. I thought for sure he would crash in the parade. He did a good job riding the scooter. He ditched his sister in the parade. I took this cute picture of the family & I don't who the lady is sitting in the chair is(werid). On Saturday we had a soccer game for Cutler in the morning. After a party we went too.

We went over to Sand Hollow to Katelyn's B-Day Party. The kids went swiming for awhile w/ their cousins. Karsten took Ryker on the big slide & he loved it. Actually he didn't move or do anything. I just think he loved it. Happy Birthday Katelyn! Thanks for the fun party. Ryker was all over at the parade. He wanted to hang out in the road w/ everyone else that was in the parade. Thanks, Logan for taking care of our kid. You did such a good job gettng our kid out of the way of horses, cars, & bikes.



We went to the Rodeo parade to see Tayden. She was in it for her dance group. They were to decorate their bikes & ride them in the parade. She did a good job working on her bike. I just helped her a little. After the parade the kids got ready to go to the rodeo w/ their dad & cousins. Ryker was to much at the parade so he hung out w/ his mom. We were going to have a party but Ryker went to sleep & I cleaned the house. Fun..

Cutler's First Soccer Game/ Labor day...

This was Cutler's first soccer game. He did a really good job playing soccer. He got a goal & was so excited that he did a little victory dance. Dan is the coach & this team is a really good little team. They were all chasing the ball. This is going to be a really fun team. They ended up winning the game..

For our Labor Day weekend Ashish, Hannah & Caden came to visit. We went over to G-ma Hansen's house & hung out & had dinner. Hannah taught Tayden how to make a tutu. So she made herself a tutu. She did a really good job. We put the tutu on Ryker & Caden. Which boy do you think had fun wearing the tutu? We all were giving each other a hug & Hannah took this picture. I thought it was cute. Thanks Hannah!

Our Busy Weekend!

We decided that if we were going up north to my brother's wedding we should make it a vacation for the kids. My brother Josh,Dawn (girlfriend),Kenadee & Katelyn came up to go to Lagoon w/ us. We stayed w/ Ashish & Hannah(Dan's sister) at their house for the weekend. Hannah & Caden came w/ us to Lagoon also. We made sure to try & get them on all the rides so they would have a lot of fun. We really made the kids tired & they did a good job making us tired. We did have a lot of fun at Lagoon. Thanks Ashish & Hannah for letting us stay at your house, also for putting up w/ the kids & your brother.

We went up north to my brother's wedding. He was getting married to a Jamie in the Mt. Timpanogos temple. She is so dang cute. I'm so excited that they found each other. My dad sealed them & everything he said was so perfect. It is such a beautiful temple. Tayden w/ her cute cousins Katelyn, Kenadee, & Logan at the reception. Tayden w/ her great g-ma Judd & Orton. Dan had so much fun w/ Ryker at the reception up north & in St. George. He was everywhere & wanted to just leave & hang out in the parking lot. We just kept giving him sugar to keep him good but that didn't work.

We drove down to Paige to Jared's (Dan's brother) baby blessing. Makenzie is such a cute little baby. I just wanted to keep her & take her home w/ me. We hung out w/ the cute family on Sunday. Tayden & Cutler just loved playing w/ Zach , Zoe & Lucy. Ryker just kept thinking he could hold Makenzie & play w/ her. It was fun going down to see them & have lunch w/ them. Thanks you guys for the invite & having us come down.

The Cruise

There are 15 girls that get together & we go & do something every other year. This family is on my husbands side. I love hanging out w/ them. It is non-stop laughing & playing. Aunt Marti plans & put them together. We haven't all got together for about 2 years. We went on a cruise from L.A to Ensenada. Thank you, Marti for putting this together. It is nice to get a break from your kids & husband j/k (Dan).


This trip only 13 of us girls were together. We all got tattoos of a purple pansie ( G-ma McCausland's favorite song). We call us girls "Faye's Delights". We came up w/ this name after G-ma(Faye) McCausland. We would love it if she could be here w/ us on these trips. She is probably watching us & just laughing at us girls.

We went to Ensenada, Mexico. It was a really dirty place but I enjoyed going there. I like the shopping trying to talk the prices down. We were told to tell them to shut up by our tour guide. I couldn't understand what he was saying a lot of the time. He spoke different languages. I thought he reminded me of my brother Jeremy. I don't know why! He was just a really funny guy, when I did understand him.

We had so much fun playing bingo. I was so excited to play. We were all hoping to win but that didn't happen. I just wanted to scream bingo even if I didn't have bingo.

We finally went to the pool & layed out on the ship. They just keep you busy w/ different activities & entertainment to go to.
We ate a lot of food on the cruise. They just want to make sure you eat. Which I loved the desserts the best. I was to picky on the the food but desserts I'm happy..
We were all tired at the airport. We were ready to go home. Sara looked so comfortable I had to take this picture.. She is so cute.

The Birthday Party & Fun w/ Family...

Happy 60th Birthday, Mom. This picture was put into the newspaper for her birthday. You had to squint your eyes so you could see the picture cause the newspaper are making them smaller & smaller. I love this picture of my mom. We had a surprise party for her. Actually it was suppose to be a surprise but I opened my mouth & it accidently slipped out. We had dinner & family came over. It was alot of fun as you can tell by the picture of my nephew Karsten(werido). He always brings some excitement in the pictures I take. We had this cake made by Shanel(sister-n-law) & she does such a good job. It is a really really good cake. Thanks, Shanel. We hope mom had a good birthday. We sure do love her...



The kids got to hang out w/ their cousin Caden. We had a barbecue w/ Ashish, Hannah,Caden & G-ma Hansen. Caden is 3 months older than Ryker. They are so cute together. Ryker would take Caden's food from him when he wasn't looking. He would just eat whatever Caden was eating. These cousins are going to be best buddies.The next day we went to In-n-out w/ them & took the kids to Jumpin Jacks. Ashish & Hannah enjoyed Jumpin Jacks cause they kept getting on the slides w/ Caden to make sure he had a good time. We had a hard time getting our kids out of there. It was fun hanging w/ them & G-ma Hansen.
