What a Fun Day!!!


On saturday the day before Melissa's birthday we had a friend bday party.  Melissa wanted to take her friends to see the new American Girl movie.  It was great fun, we loaded everyone up with popcorn and pizza and enjoyed the movie.  Afterwards we all went out for "oreo smoothies".   She has some cute & bubbly friends we had a great time getting to know them better.  Sunday was a fun day as well for Melissa.  Grandma Allen and Uncle Russ came to celebrate her special day.  We decorated her cake and she opened up lots of fun presents.  One of her gifts was a night out with mom and dad to go see the new "High School Musical" musical at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake.  She is so excited and is already trying to decide what to wear!

BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!




Both Mom and Melissa celebrate their birthdays this month.  Melissa turned 9 on the 13th and Mom is celebrating her 39th bday on the 17th!  We hope you both have a wonderful and happy birthday!

Little Nieces


Sooo much Fun!!!

It's always a treat to have cousins come and visit.   Kyra and Annika are staying with us for a few days.  It's been a blast hanging out and playing together.  Tonight we played night games, we played and played until we were all too spooked to stay outside any longer :) We have had alot of fun with them around.

Just Horsing Around








We braided hair, put on levi's and were off to horse lessons this morning.  Sky was ready and waiting when we got there.  Kyra and Annika were very excited to see what horse lessons was all about and Melissa and Marah couldn't wait to show them.  The girls had fun riding Sky.  Annika loved using the reins to lead him around the corral and Kyra couldn't believe that she could give this great big huge animal orders and he would obey.  She was able to trot with Sky which according to Melissa and Marah is a big deal.  They feel very empowered when he listens and obeys their commands.  He is a good horse.  

Oh My Goodness!
