Good Times and Bad...We always have COUSINS!!

Ok so I know this is WAY past due.  Last month Sean had a football game in Nephi.  We let Candy & Angie know ahead of time when it was in hopes they might make the drive. Candy and Tyson called and let us know they were for sure going to drive down so Sean made a phone call and asked if McCade could please ride down with them.(Thank You Candy & Angie for making the arrangements)

Sean & I left Richfield around 3:30 and met Cameron in Scipio and continued to Nephi.  Shortly after the game started Candy arrived with McCade and Tyson.  Although it is hard to see Sean's face with the helmet on I am sure he had a HUGE smile on his face when he saw his Cousins.

It was so fun to sit and visit during the game.  After the game we were able to go and grab a bite to eat together before we headed our separate ways. 

Although the 6th grade Jr. Cats had a loss that evening we still had a winning night because of Sean's wonderful Cousins.  Thanks again Candy, Tyson & McCade for making the trip.

CELEBRATE!!

This past weekend was Labor Day and of course we had nothing planned, except for a Family Birthday Party for Liz.  Monday the 7th was Liz's 9th Birthday.  I am not sure who was more excited for her present me or her.

We had decided because of the holiday weekend there probably wouldn't be many of her friends in town so we decided to wait a couple of weeks to have a party with her friends.  Much to our surprise her cousin Chandlie showed up on Friday night to surprise her and boy were we ALL surprised.  Thanks Chand for coming.

I decided I wanted to make her cake.  I wanted to try and use fondant.(Not a good idea, it didn't go so well.)  So I ended up using Vanilla frosting, from a can, and then used fondant to decorate.  Ta Da!

    

For her presents she got a couple of CD's she has wanted and also a create a tag kit from Maycie. Now for the BIG surprise, which I had been keeping for 3 months.  I am taking Liz to see Miley Cyrus!!  I think she would have been a little more excited if big bro Sean hadn't played what if.

                                

I can't believe she is 9!!  Time flies by so fast so be sure and take the time to make every minute the best.
