Take a Stand

Greetings from California! This is Morgan and I don't normally post on this blog, but there is action needed now! If you haven't heard about Propostion 8, you need to! Whether you live in California or not, we need to spread the word. For more information go to www.protectmarriage.com or preservingmarriage.org. Also you can check out my thoughts at least a few of them, on my personal blog, www.mangostree.blogspot.com .

Catching Up

We have had quite the busy month! With school starting, family here, surgeries, and other such drama, we have been frantically trying to catch our breath! So here is an quick update of our lives in the last little bit!

Our beautiful 8th (!!!!) grader

Robert had an emergency appendectomy 3 days before his birthday! He is doing fantastic now and we are so so glad he is feeling better! Chandi made this beautiful cake for his birthday! And no, no one had eaten any yet :)

Overall we are doing good and trying to keep up with life! If you want to see the latest family drama, as of this morning, check out Ashlee's blog :)

Sewing Projects

We have gone sewing crazy! Some projects have worked, some have not, but overall we are so excited for our projects! This is Kristen's quilt she has been working on. Doesn't it look fabulous!

These pants didn't quite turn out as expected but we can't figure out what is off with them ;)

Stadium of Fire!

Every year we are so lucky to have our family come up and attend Stadium of Fire! We look forward to this event every year! We have so many memories of our family at these events! It's so fun to see how the family has expanded and the new little kids get to enjoy it!

This year we were able to see Miley Cyrus, the Blue Man Group, and Glenn Beck! Before the show we all met at Pizza Factory and then walked up to the stadium! Makayla, Bobbi, Maggie, Molly, Chandi, Aubrey (Chandi's friend), McKenzie, Mallory, and Ashlee sat on the field while the rest of the family sat up in the stands! This year was wonderful and the fireworks were amazing!

Bobbi was not a fan of any of the loud noises but she sure was cute with her fingers in her ears!

June Excitement!

This month has been a blast for our family! We had so much fun taking pictures (thanks Chandler), and making memories! Robert got the opportunity to play in the Champions Challenge Pro Am. He had a blast playing with new people and a member from Riverside. He made some great new friends! Chandler has pictures but is a little slow at getting them developed! :) Also, Chandler got her birthday present a little early again this year! She got a darling new bedspread that is just perfect for her! We also have pictures of that too but it's the Chandler thing again! We got the bedspread and sheets for a screamin' good deal, so that was a big plus! Morgan went on a cruise the first part of the month and has some adorable pics on her blog! Plus she flew into SLC and spent the night at our house! We love you all so much! We hope all had just as great as a June as we did!

Ashlee's Birthday is almost here!

I would like to inform you all of my older sisters B-Day this Saturday! She is turning 23! I would like you all, if you see her to give her a hug and wish her a happy birthday! She is very important to me and I love her. She is an awesome girl and she deserves the best! I just wanted to let her know that! I know she is sometimes a pain, but she is so fun and always there for me! She is amazing, in fact she deserves the sister of the year award! Love ya Ash! So if you see her give her a big hug for me! Ash, Happy Birthday! You Rock!
