I am too busy to update this, but I did it any way.

I really need to stop and smell the flowers these days. Cute Sophie at the Brigham Young home.
I finally got to see my only sister and her family. We met up in St George in July. We stayed and my Grandpa and Grandma Goodwins. It was so freaking hot. Thank goodness my aunt Rene has a pool right across the street. I just love these cute kids Syd, Rock, Soph, Gracie, Alice, Hayden and Prestonie. I can't wait to meet Cyrus the 9 lb 10 oz boy!
This was so fun for the kids. They made a dam with bodies. After we left all the other kids did it too.
I really miss my sister. She lived in North Carolina for freaking ever, now she lives in crappy San Jose. She just had her 4th baby and I am so sad I couldn't go help. So MOVE BACK! Thanks Mom and Matt for coming with to help with my kids.
Sophie and her froggy potty. This is how I found her in the beginning of potty training. She is not doing very well lately. Hopefully once we get settled she can do better. She is so much fun these days. I just love her. She has managed to scratch pretty much every DVD we own because she can turn them on herself.
Back to school. 5th, 2nd, and Kindergarten. I am sure getting old these days. Poor Soph cried every day for the first few weeks of school.


Preston had his first real bad crash on his bike. He said he went off the jump and crashed and didn't get hurt, then he went again and landed and then he went again and crashed. It was so scary for me. I am known to over react. Thank goodness Jer is not a crazy person like me and can calm me down. Preston now knows he will be seriously hurt by me if he doesn't wear his helmet!
Sydnie got some Miley tickets for her Birthday back in June. The day finally came! We went to CPK and got there just in time to not have to wait 3 hours for all the other girls to eat. We headed to the show. We hiked clear up to the second to top row. It is kind of scary up there. Thank goodness Grandma brought some binoculars. Syd had an absolute blast. She screamed so loud. I found some ear plugs for my Mom, she was really not in to the volume. I kind of felt bad for Miley. She was sick and had to run off the stage to puke, But the show went on and every girl there loved it!
Thanks for getting these Grandma. I am also glad to report that my Moms surgery went well and there was no cancer in the lymph nodes. That is proof that the power of the Priesthood and prayer and fasting really work! We just love you Grandma thanks for all you do for us.
Party in the USA!
There you have it. After we move I will get some pictures of the new house and post those. For some who don't know we sold our house. We are moving to a newer cheaper nicer house in the same ward so it will be really great. The house has another bedroom and is a little bigger even. It seems that all I do these days is clean and move crap and kill bugs and freak out about the mice in my house. So I am really looking forward to being settled and moving on. Jer is doing well at work. I really appreciate all his hard work and all he does to support our family. He can do any thing and build any thing and fix any thing. He is the greatest husband. If I need something done he will make it happen. I will show you in the pictures of that in the house. Syd is kicking butt in ALL. She has so much home work and she does it by herself. She is doing 4 hours of ballet, technique, choreography, and tumbling. SHE GOT HER BACK HAND SPRING! Now on to the Ariel. She still is managing to play with friends and get all A's. Preston is so fun. He is my best helper. He does little chores to surprise me all the time. Last week he had hearts with every ones name and he made all the beds in the house and left the heart. What a sweetie. He does great in school and has so many friends. He has a million stories every day about what him and his buds do. Hayden is really starting to figure things out in school. He can read some sight words even. He knows all his letters and sounds. He now goes to tutoring 3 days a week and that really seems to help. There will be hope yet. Sophie is just cute. She has the cutest voice. She talks like she is 10. She says the funniest things and loves to play make believe. She watches Barbie movies and Wemo and Jwesse. She is Wemo every time she gets in the tub. She told me the other day that she in not a fweakin boy she is a fweakin gril. I guess I say freaking to much.
I will try to do better.

"O What do you do in the Summer Time?"

The boys started out going with Daddy to see the helicopters. Preston checked out a book about them at the library so he knew all about them. He was so funny when he read about the Hell Fire Missile. He knew it was a bad word.




Jeremy had a customer to visit in Manti so we got lucky and got a room at the roach motel and went to the Manti Pageant. We got married there 12 whole years ago and that was the first time we have been back to Manti since. The pageant was OK because they sure tried to make it dramatic. The Narrator was really funny. I did get to have a funnel cake and I ate the whole thing. As you all know I am a trailer trash carnie!


Oh for cute! I just love you Jer.
Here is Sydnie's annual Fathers Day party. She is so great at making every one feel special. The kids just love doing these things.
My baby girl turned 10 this year. Preston made her that awesome crown. She had crepes for breakfast and since she was supposed to have a family party she invited her 2 best friends out for pedicures. She has been friends with Kate since birth and Taylor since they were 3. We went to lunch and had a great girls day. Cute little Taylor had open heart surgery today in California. She had a valve that was giving out. Please remember her in your prayers. She has a website called helptaylor.com She is so cute and fun. You'll never guess where we went for dinner(Attn Sargents) Chuck a rama! We got there early so the food was fresh and it was pretty good. The only bad thing was all the old people perfume. Where do they find that stuff!? And why do they have to use so much!?

Taylor Kate
For the 4th of July we went camping to my Aunts ranch. It is down in the middle of no where off on some 30 mile dirt road. But boy was it fun. They have 20 acres fenced off with like 20 foot fences with barbed wire to keep the bears and cougars out. They have built dirt bike trails all around. There is a pond, huge grass fields, and thank goodness, showers and toilets! We had so much fun and the kids are ready to go back.



Here is our cute family in our Bear Hollow shirts. Please pardon my no make up.
This is our dance party. We also had church at this amphitheater. It was so great.
We went to the church history museum. It was fun to see the real angel Moroni. The kids practiced some conference talks too just in case.
Over the 24th we went to my Mom's cabin at Bear Lake. This is the kind of camping I really like. The kids had a blast on the tubes. They love trying to kill Ryan and Matt on the tubes. It is so funny to watch them all go. We laugh so hard it hurts. Jer took the kids wake boarding too. Even Sophie wanted to go. I of course didn't take my camera that day. On the last day Preston and Sydnie promised they would go. By the time we got out it was so windy and choppy. They did it any ways and cried the whole time. Preston said he'll do it again but Syd said she won't. I had to buy her a webkins just to do it. But now Grandma has a wake board just their size. So who knows maybe they will soon be doing back flips like Ryan!

The next week we got to hang out with the Mower cousins from Arizona. We went to the Gateway and had a great time. Poor Sophie was sick though and she was so good to let us drag her around all day.
Preston Hayden and Poulsen

Sydnie just loves Paige and Gentry. It was so great to see them before they start school. We love you guys. Come back soon and good luck at dental school!

Wondering what we have been up to? Part 1

Hayden had his adenoids out 2 weeks ago. He seems to be doing a little better. Not so many yucky noses and he seems to be getting better sleep at night. He only freaks out a few times a day instead of a million. He did great except for the first time he woke up. They had to put him back to sleep because he went crazy. That made me cry when they told me that. I wished I could have been there for my baby. Note the lion he brought with him. He had to put it on on the way home.

We went back to This is the Place Park. We had a ton of fun. So here are a ton of pictures.
Preston and Sydnie sure make great sad faces. The other people in the school were laughing too.
This was the greatest day to go. It was baby animal time. We got really lucky and got to feed the lambies. They had cows, duckies, piggies, and little goats. They were so cute!

Sophie was chasing this little goat and asking it why it keeps going back in that thing. It made me really want a baby animal because the kids were so cute with them.

I don't know how this ended up right here. This blogger thing is really dumb. But here is Preston and Mrs. Geddes. She is the best and cutest first grade teacher. She really loves the kids. We always saw her car at school late at night and on Saturdays. We saw her at the library and she hugged every kid she had so tight. She told them she would flunk them all so they would stay in her class.

What have we been up to? Part 2

Hayden has officially graduated from preschool. We love Miss Shannon. Let's just hope he will act like he learned something for kindergarten.

I think my baby might actually be turning into a "gril" after all. She is always wearing her tinker bell, usually Hayden is wearing his lion. He sleeps in it almost every night.
More dance. This is Kyra, Kennedy, Syd, and Kaycee. Her best dance friends. Their Moms and the best too. We got these for just 5 bucks! It's a good thing we waited til the last one.
Syd at her 4th grade program. I am so glad we live in Utah where they can sing about pioneers and Brigham Young at school. Mrs. Lindeman was so great. She was in our last ward so it was really fun to get to know her even more this year. Syd also got into the ALL program for 5th and 6th grade. She is such a smartie pants. She gets that from her Dad, and her good looks from her Mom of course!
Sophie even got into the music at the last comp of the year with Sariah.


Syd did a duet this year. Her and Kyra won First place 5 out of 5 times. Yay for the cutest dancers ever!
Preston and Daddy have been busy with baseball. Preston just loves that his Dad is the coach.


He had a tooth growing in so we had both bottom ones pulled!

Crazy hair day for the first grade was one of the "get through the last month of school" days that was so fun!

So there it is. We have been crazy busy so far this summer. We hardly see Jer because he is so busy at work, but I guess that is a good thing. We just celebrated our 12 year anniversary. That makes us really old! We are still in love just the same, maybe even more. We are heading to the Manti Pageant. We haven't been back to that temple since we were married. It will be so fun to be there with our eternal family. Soph said last night she wants to goto the sparkly get married temple, not the Jesus temple. I guess she remembers the celestial room from the Draper temple. Each time we drive by a temple she calls it the Jesus temple, so I guess she wants to go inside.

Here is my complaining now:

I hope it stops freaking raining before Fall. We need to be able to go swimming at least once this summer! And I am so sick of the road construction every where I go!

Thanks for reading all of this if you made it this far down. Sorry it was so long!
