Crazy days...

Wow we had a crazy day yesterday! First of all we had the last baseball games of the season. I should get mom of the year award because I didn't even take my camera to their little banquet where they get their trophies. I will have to take a picture of them later with their trophies.

As soon as the games were over, we rushed home to clean the house before our company arrived. My parents and my brother and Crystal came out for Madison's birthday. My dad brought out their bikes and that is what they did all afternoon. We then had a birthday party for Madison and Wes. We had lots of yummy food and cake and ice cream. Madison got alot of neat stuff for her birthday. We gave her money a few weeks ago and I took her to SLC and she bought a skateboard, camera, and few other little things. My parents got her a new bike (very nice). Wes's parents and sister got her money. And Lance and crystal got her a way cute shirt and modeling clay. She was very hard to shop for this year and it turned out great. She loved everything. She can't wait to wear the shirt from Lance and Crystal.

We then headed out to our property to show Lance and Crystal where we are building. It is about 5 miles from our house now. Madison, my dad, and Lance rode all the way out there on the bikes. Madison was tired by the time they got out there but my dad said she kept up great and never complained. They rode back in the car with us.

We then came home for some Fireworks. We love fireworks! We had fun and the kids loved the sparklers. Wyatt didn't really like the fireworks but hopefully now he will be broke in for the 4th.

We had such a great time with family here. Wes, Lance and my dad taught Hannah how to ride her bike without training wheels. She loves it now and wants to go all the time. And Lance taught her how to tie her shoes. We have the best family ever. Everyone is so good to help the kids and encourage them to try new things. I have been trying to talk Hannah into taking her training wheels off for weeks and all it took was grandma to walk beside her and lots of cheering on the side lines.

Connor also got a new bike and if you have little kids you seriously have to get one of these bikes before you buy a regular bike. These bikes don't have any pedals so it teaches them to balance before anything. Amazing!! Connor has been riding it since Friday night and he almost keeps his feet up the whole time and will just coast. They are awesome. He loves it and loves to wear his new helmet as well.

Thanks to all our family for helping Madison and Wes have a great birthday party! Happy Birthday to my baby. I can't believe she is 8. Time flies when your having fun! I love you so much Madison. We have our fair share of fights and arguments but I love you dearly! You are a wonderful daughter and big sister. Happy Birthday to Wes on July 2. I love you so much!
