Ashley's Dancing Again!

After taking a year off from Ballroom Dance, Ashley is dancing once again! This year she is on the Ballroom Team at Utah State University and is also taking private lessons to compete in Open Latin. There was a competition in Provo on Saturday and Kent and I took Tyler and Sara down to watch Ashley dance. It was so good to see her dancing again! She did awesome and looked so good! I can tell she really missed it and is glad to be dancing again!

Isn't she SO cute?!

A trip to San Diego!

Every year the kids are out of school on the Thursday and Friday before the first weekend in October. This is usually a good time for us to take a vacation because the theater isn't super busy and we can sneak away without too much difficulty. This year we decided to take Tyler and Sara to San Diego. They had never been there before so we thought it would be fun to show them some of the sights. Brandon didn't go with us because it was Homecoming Week at the high school and he needed to be here for that. It was kind of fun to just fuss over the little kids. We have had the opportunity to take the older kids on some trips without Tyler and Sara so it was fun for them to have their turn. We visited Legoland which was a lot of fun. We had never been there before so we didn't know what to expect. It's amazing what they can build out of Legos! We also made a stop at the San Diego Temple. What a beautiful temple that is! We went to Sea World which is always fun - gotta love Shamu! And we took a tour of the U.S.S. Midway which was also a lot of fun. Mostly we just got to relax with the kids, swim in the pool and enjoy the WARM California weather!
