Saige was alittle upset because she could not get air like Daniel. They sure had fun! Daniel loved this picture! He wanted me to photoshop his head onto his body. Don't even have a clue how to do that, sorry buddy! :)

So Jason is sitting in the living room and he starts walking around saying "Did you hear that?" Then he looks in the backyard and then he goes out front and looks around. It was a pretty loud noise. I was in the computer room and could hear it. Well, Jason doesn't find anything. Later, I was putting things in the fridge and there is a cap to one of the tubes of biscuits laying on a shelf. One of the packages of Grands biscuits had blown up and sent the cap flying in the fridge. I have had a few of them explode lately and I don't know why. Not one of them has ever made that kind of a noise.

Daniel got the idea to make a bean bag game. I helped to cut the holes, but then they painted it all by themselves. It turned out to be a pretty cute little game.

Colin was playing bean bag toss with Saige. He was not very happy that I took this picture and then that was the end of their game.

Jack being his normal nosey self. This dog loves to climb up there and watch the traffic and people go by.

Saige had a cheer thing today up at 51st and Union Hills. I thought it started at 12:00, we get there and figured out it started at 2:00. I wasn't going to go all the way back home just to turn around and go back, so Saige and I went to lunch. I gave her a few choices and she chose Subway. She loves that place. :) OK, so we eat and go back to go to the cheer orientation. I really enjoyed spending today with Saige. It's not too often it is just her and I together for the day. I did end up taking her to a few stores to coupon shop with me, and she hates that, but other than that we had a good time. Oh, and I found my perfect intersection today. A Sonic, with a CVS right next to it.

You are probably wondering what the picture has to do with anything. We had to stop for gas and I have been trying to pay for everything with cash lately. If I don't have the cash, we don't need it. :) So, I ask Saige if she wants to give the lady the money and she says "Why do we have to pay for it this time? You never pay for gas." I'm sure the lady was wondering what that was about. I then had to explain that my debit card was like using cash. I was still paying for it, just with a card instead. Saige, you crack me up! :)

I know that most of my posts are about Saige, but the boys are just to cool to spend time with their mother. And the only pictures I can manage to get most of the time is the back of their heads. Maybe tomorrow I will post some pictures of them sleeping. :)

I have been trying my crafty-ness at making hair bows. Saige is getting to the point where she doesn't HATE me combing her hair and she loves to have it in a ponytail. Well, I thought it would be so cute to have a bow to put at the top of the ponytail. So, I got out the ribbon I had just to experiment. I think they turned out OK. I am doing her hair this morning and I said "Oh, this pink princess bow would look so cute" and she said "I don't like princesses." I said "Since when?" She says "since I was like 6." She just turned 7 about a week ago!! Then I said "I really think this one is cute." she said "Well, I don't, so just X it out!"

Girls these days grow up so fast. She is getting to where she doesn't like baby dolls and all the "little girl" things. Thanks Hannah Montana, Icarly, and Zoey!

We had all the windows upstairs open last night and so it was nice this morning in the house. Saige comes down wearing her thick winter jacket. She actually wore it to school today. I'm sure her teacher is going to think I am strange sending her to school in a jacket like that. It wasn't me!! I tried to talk her out of it, well anyone who knows Saige knows that once she has her mind made up, there is no changing it.

All I can say is that Saige and Logan definitely take after their dads. :)

Over Labor Day weekend Jason and I took Daniel and Saige up to Williams for the weekend. They had a steam engine train there that weekend. We decided that we would take the kids on the train and I'm so glad we did. They had a blast.

We could walk around the train while on the ride, and when you walked to the front and looked down, you could see the ground moving very quickly below. I did not stay there to long.The train ran on water and recycled vegetable oil. This is the house in Williams that my family always hears us talk about. This house has been in Jason's family for a long time and it sure is a nice get-away place in the heat of the summer. The kids absolutely love Williams. Me too!

I started working on this yesterday so I could post it on her birthday, but it didn't happen. Saige turned 7 years old yesterday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAIGE!! We love you and are so blessed to have you in our family.

Tyler had quite the group greet him at the airport. Our friends, Chuck, Rachael, Bryce, and Champaigne were here. They have been stationed in Japan for the past 7 years and I am so glad it worked out that they were able to be here at the same time he came home. We didn't tell him that they were here, so he was quite surprised when he saw them. Jason's parents were also there and brought Camila, Shawna, and Ashley.
When they got home from the airport (our flight came in 2 hours later) Rachael and the kids had decorated the house all up and got pizza. Rachael is the party queen! Thanks guys!
There is no way that we would have been able to go if it hadn't been for Jason's parents. They kept the kids for both us and Jason's sister. Thank you so much Flora and Danny.
We had a really good time on our trip and I'm glad my 6'4" baby is home. :)

WAITING . . .
Here he comes!
This is Bryce and the next one is Champaigne and Colin. (I can't believe that Colin let someone take his picture!) Tyler was 3 when I met Rachael, so they have been friends for a long time. They are all such good friends. We are SUPER glad that they just got stationed in Utah. We wish it was here, but at least Utah is much closer than Japan. :)

I wanted to share what the pilot of the plane did when Tyler landed in Salt Lake to transfer planes. When they landed the pilot came on the speaker and said "You may have noticed that we have a soldier on board. Out of respect for him and what he is doing for our country, I ask that you all remain seated until he gets his things and exits the plane first." I thought that was the coolest thing. Tyler did say that he was a little embarrassed, but what an honor!

This is what happens when you get 2 - 17 year old boys together who haven't seen eachother in 2 years. They started wrestling and Tyler put Bryce's whole back through the wall. You can tell by the light switch that it wasn't a little hole either. The boys were very good about fixing it pretty much themselves, with a little guidance from the dads.
