Season's over!

We survived spring sports. We were too busy! Never again will we be this busy! Ashley & Sarah had soccer. Some weeks there was soccer practices or games 6 days of the week! Then add in Charlie and baseball. Wow. We managed but man, it was cRaZy! All sports are over. Ashley will do recreation soccer and possibly try gymnastics. Sarah is on the gold team with Forza again. Sophie will do recreation soccer too. Charlie, don't know what's up for him! 

Sweet Sarah

Sarah turned 8 years old and was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a great, sweet day! Lots of family and friends came to show their love for Sarah, our family, and the Gospel. Sarah got the beautiful dress from Nana Burns, and scriptures from my Grandma (a tradition on my side of the family)! At the baptism, family and friends wrote Sarah a note, and she has this priceless collection of testimonies and words from the friends and family. It means a LOT to me as I can read the words written from many important people, especially from my parents, and grandparents-even GRANDPA! Thanks family & friends!

CTR~Welcome newest member of the church. Welcome to Activity Days!

 

Happy Birthday Sarah

After one fun away gymnastics meet in Washington, we took advantage of Sarah's birthday to celebrate doing something NEW! We braved Utah County and headed to the Marriott Center for a BYU vs. Utah gymnastics meet. One other team was there, NC State, who wasn't ranked. Utah was ranked no 6 in the country and BYU was in the top 25, I think. Anyways-Ugg to Utah county+ traffic.

TWO cute BYU co-eds joined us, Jimmy's niece Lyndze and my cousin Charlotte meet us at the meet. It was fun to go to another away meet and sit in seats with a different perspective than our seats in the Huntsman Center. BYU did do a good job hosting the meet. My legs hurt from the lack of LEG ROOM of the seats in the Marriott Center. Utah did really well at the meet, which they needed a decent score on the road. Utah got the win! Duh! Of course!

 

Happy Birthday Sarah. Oh, yeah charlie was about B-O-R-E-D at the meet. Sorry brother!

Utah Gymnastics

Its college gymnastics time! I always bring my camera, but forget to take pictures at the home meet. Here are pix from one of the home meets we went to. GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

Seattle 2013

The Burns family drove up to Lake Stevens, WA (1 hr north of Seattle)! Fun road trip! It was a good experience! We were happy to see family, enjoy the sights of Seattle, and see cousin Taylor, who will be serving an LDS mission to Oklahoma!

Here are a few of the highlights!

An Evening Snack

Post Halloween

We mixed our leftover halloween candy into vanilla ice cream one evening. It was fun to see what the kids wanted to try. I don't think they ate all their ice cream.....but we used up some of that halloween candy!

Daddy was cold

One evening, Jimmy told Sophie he was cold. Little Sophie was helpful and got her daddy 3 blankets, and covered dad up. Cute! Aww!

Halloween

Jimmy was out of town, two of the kids were with their aunt, so I took the other two kids to a local grocery store to check out the things there. Cookies, candy, and a few games around the store were fun, and simple.
 

 

 

Ward Trunk or Treat-bags for our candy, and LOTS of candy by the end of the night

I was a one eyed-one horned-flying purple eater. Yes-First time ever I really dressed up. I looked awesome-I thought.

 

And a Halloween night visit to Aunt Mary's house then hitting the streets for Trick or Treating and LOTS of candy!  

Fall Leaves

Yes, it has snowed about 2 feet outside in the past few days, and I am going back to the days of fall! Lots of leaves in the yard to clean up this fall. Here is a pictures of the kids in the leaves.
