Mascot Bowl

September 30, 2013

Every year the Lehi 8th grade football teams get together and play a scrimmage game against a bunch of different mascots.  They have Cosmo from BYU, the Lion from REAL Salt Lake, the wolverine from UVSC, the Jazz Bear and a bunch of other mascots from all around the state and even different states.  We went last year and the kids had a ton of fun so we wanted to go again this year but Weston was out of town and I didn't think I could take the three kids all by myself.  But then I found out that Gavin's football team was playing in the fourth quarter.  So we met up with Cammy and all of them to watch the game.  My mom even came half way through and it was a lot of fun.  The kids loved it and I think they had more fun this year because they got to hang out with their cousins.  The pictures aren't great but of course I just have to document that we were there!

That's Cosmo out there in the white pants.  He is the kids favorite.

 Fun night can't wait tell next year!

Family Home Evening at Bridal Veil Falls

July 1st, 2013

I forgot to add this post about our family night back in July so this is going a little out of order.  It's so hard to keep everything straight when I'm trying to catch everything up from a couple months ago!  Oh well, better late than never!

So for FHE I thought it would be fun to take the kids on a hike.  We wanted something easy that all the kids could do so we went up to Bridal Veil Falls.  It's so nice because it is paved too so we just put Brynn in the stroller.  We parked down at the bottom so they could have more of a hike and they were so excited to be out in the mountains.  They were even more excited when we made it to the waterfall!  Before we even knew it they were both trying to get in the water and walk over to it.  So we took off our shoes and headed in.  Makenna started climbing straight up and we had to keep reminding her to come back down.  I don't think she would have stopped climbing!  She would have gone straight to the top!  Kason and Brynn were just excited to sit there and throw rocks in the water. 

Once we walked back to the car we stopped at a picnic table to eat popcorn that we had brought.  The kids loved it and had so much fun.  This was a fun family home evening and the kids can't wait to go again!
