Carrie Underpants

 Ryan felt bad that our last concert was a bust, so you know what my sweet piece of man muffin did?  He surprised us with Carrie Underwood and Hunter Hayes tickets! 
 We call her Carrie Underpants around here, because well, it's funny and Hunter Hayes sings one of Ryan and I's songs (awwww)

two things that don't go well together-

. a super cute cowgirl that's super shy.

people would not leave her alone.

Nachos and Lemonade

mm- mmm- mm Hunter Hayes

A thumbs up

You should have seen those legs, I'm not kiddin

This pic is a little creepy

We made it through Hunter Hayes and a little more than Half of Carrie and Canyon decided she was done, which was good because we beat the crowds on the way out.

Canyon was asleep before we hit the freeway lol

All in all, it was a super time with my super gal

SUGARLAND

 My sweet husband thought it was the girls turn for a night out & surprised us with SugarLand tickets. Canyon has always loved them and she and I were stoked y'all.

Canyon in her Cowgirl attire

We stopped at Chili's with my legit Cowgirl Amber and her daughter Kail (like as in, they have real horses)

A little chilly, but tolerable so far, nothing a little Hot Chocolate and blue cotton candy can't fix.

Kail & Canyon

or is it K-a-l-e? hmm i'll get back to you on that one

"Those boots were made for walkin"

This was about rain storm numero 3 and it was gettin COLD

But hay everybody....a Rainbow.

It was 9:00 p.m, still no sugarLand and it was starting to rain again.  We decided to cut our loses and head for the car.  The little ones stripped down to their undies and we cranked on the heat.

ha ha and did I mention, Amber is 8 months prego ha ha oh man what a night. A very cold and memorable night.

Brigham City Temple

The Brigham city temple open house was such an amazing opportunity we decided that we could not pass it up.....Sort of.

We went on Labor day and so did thousands of other people.  By the time we were shuttled over, we were informed that the wait was 2 more hours and the tour was a hour long.  It did not take long to come to a unanimous decision.  We walked around the temple grounds and right on back to the shuttle.

Ha ha yes, Lincoln was this way most of the time...thus the quick decision to bolt.

Not quite the outcome we expected, but it was still really nice to walk around and see the beautiful temple with the family and dinner on the way home was especially welcome. 

Porter's Baptism

I asked Porter where he wanted to take his pictures and he said he really wanted to go to the temple.

When I think of Temples, the Bountiful Temple is always the first to come to mind. I think it's a mixture of where Ryan and I were married and just the way it sits high on the mountain. PERFECTION

GO UTES

Porter was such a good sport, the younger 2 thought it was torture.

Could not pass this red phone booth we drove by.

Yes that is a shard of glass you can see. he was careful.

In-N- Out Burger just happens to be on the way home....wait maybe that's why I love the bountiful Temple.

              Baptism Day

Thanks Bro. Zaugg for taking our pic

yes, it is Jason's Uncle. small world ay

The most handsome men in all the land

Another fantastic cake made by Kathy! thanks Kathy

I can't believe Porter is 8. OK I can, it's just crazy to think how old he's getting and I know it's going by so fast.

I'm so thankful for Ryan, the Priesthood he holds and for his great example he is to our kids and everyone around him.

Thanks everyone for sharing in this special day, it was amazing. Porter is loved by so many people. He is one lucky Boy & I'm his lucky mom.
