Playing Catch Up...

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks! No pictures for this post because basically our camera is lame. Well, Steve is busy as usual doing the full time school and more than full time work at the same tim- he even has 4 hour classes of class on Saturdays :( The past few Saturdays he has been really into BYU football and always wanting to have football parties.

Let's see... its really just been the usual for me lately. Always busy with school and my cute 27 third graders. And of course, I've kept busy with all the season premieres of ALL my shows. Trust me, this is enough to keep like 3 people busy- One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90219, Fringe, America's Next Top Model, Grey's Anatomy, Smallville, and Private Practice and Desperate Housewives (which both premiere this week!). Steve doesn't like me to tell anyone that I watch all of these shows faithfully, but now you can see we are one family who actually uses and benefits from TiVo. Thursday was my birthday and it was a wonderful day. Eight year olds always make you feel so loved- my desk was filled with cards, letters, balloons, candy, flowers, and so much other stuff. I even got gifts from students from last year. I didn't get home until 8:30 that night because we had a Back to School Night at school that night. But I did come home to a candle light dinner from Olive Garden- my very favorite! I also got some very nice gifts (picture below) from Steve... a new camera (yea!) and some new tennis/running shoes! So you can look forward to new posts with lots of pictures!

Except mine have yellow instead of red.

Trip to Breckenridge

Our family met up in Breckenridge over Labor Day weekend- it feels like that trip was forever ago! Its taken so long to post because Steve and I forgot our camera at home and Becca's camera has been acting up apparently. So here are the pictures and few details from our trip...

We left on Friday afternoon- I had to leave school early and we all piled into Becca's car and headed out. Luke and I sat in the very back and hung out eating snacks and watching movies! It actually was a lot of fun!

Steve and I at the top of Keystone...

Me and my favorite little Livi!!

All the boys (minus Ashton)

We spent our time relaxing, shopping, eating, taking the kids swimming, riding rides and playing games as a family.

Fiona and Luke riding some rides!

Olivia having fun on the bounce house, Fiona... not so much!

Steve and Luke roasting marshmellows!

Every time our family goes to Breckenridge we also take a carriage ride- its always interesting to squeeze everyone into the carriage. Here is the picture we took after the ride...

Our last night there, my mom found some shot glasses in the cupboards and was giving drinks out in them (which was very interesting). So Steve and Jesse decided to have a contest to see who could drink a shot of Coke faster- lets just say Jesse won... every time! As did I, Becca couldn't not handle the fizziness!

On our way home, Becca and I did and little snooping.... although Jesse and Steve called it stalking. We loved the most recent Bachelorette with the girl Deanna. Well in the end she chose someone named Jesse, a professional snowboarder from Breckenridge. They live in Georgia during the summer and Breckenridge during the ski season. Well, we looked up his address in the phone book out there and to our most excited surprise the address was there. So went went and found there house and took a picture in front of it!! Ok, ok, so it may have been a little stalkerish!!
