{BYU} vs. SDSU

BYU came to Qualcom stadium to play San Diego state. We took the boys to see their first ever BYU football game. They all had a great time with there cousins and eating lots and lots of junk food and of course watching football. It was great to see friends that we hadn't seen in awhile. Seeing BYU play brought back memories of when Ty was attending BYU and we would go to the games together when we were much younger. Oh how I miss the old days back in Provo but don't ever want to repeat those days. We are so HAPPY where we are!!! After a long HOT game BYU won!

Paige's {12th} Birthday Party

For Paige's birthday party she planned to have 4 girls go shopping at the Irvine Spectrum. We gave each girl a little purse filled with goodies and money. The girls went from store to store until they found the perfect items to buy. They shopped and shopped until their money was all spent. We then ate at Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then off to ride the Ferris Wheel. I had a FaBuLoUs day just being with the girls doing what we do best {shopping}

Citizen of the week.

Be {Cool} Walk to School

Once a year at San Elijo Elementary we have "Walk to School Day" the kids have so much fun holding their signs and running to school. Once we get to school they have Cliff bars and water for the kids to enjoy and Firemen passing out stickers and talking to the kids. I love the excitement on my children's faces when I say we are walking to school. If only we could walk to school more often instead of driving my gas guzzler up and down the hills.

We all scream for {Thrifty} ice cream.

One of our all time favorite ice cream stops is Thrifty. Paige loves the pistachio and choc. malted crunch, Cody & Trey love rainbow sherbet and Luke likes strawberry. I remember as a child I loved to go to thrifty to get ice cream and ice cold water out of the drinking fountain so I am passing the tradition down to my kids. When ever they see a Rite Aid with thrifty ice cream in the window we always stop, it makes for the perfect day!!!
