BUSY SuMMeR!!!

We have all had a busy summer and it is only half over!!!! Savannah and her friend LOVE to go explore outside. They were going to go on a 4 wheeler ride when inside they seat they found a few of these. YUCK!!! I could not believe that the caught one of the mice!!! Savannah found a cage and the kept it for about an hour then let it go!

These two are so funny together!!!
Savannah went to the Paul McCartney concert in Salt Lake with her Dad. She had a great time and told me over and over that going was" a once in a life time experience"! I am glad she got to go .
You will start to see a trend here of Savannah liking to hold, catch and play with "icky" things she is such a tom-boy! My Mom and sisters make comments as to her being just like me at that age but I think she is WWAAAYYYY more of a tom-boy than I ever was!!!!

Savannah has been LUCKY enough to go to 3 yes 3 basketball camps, yes I know she is spoiled but she has done so well at all of them. Has won lots of the single and team competitions and has come home with fun camp t-shirts and prizes. She said that BYU was her favorite!!!
This is one of BYU's coaches they were all awesome!!!
Yes yet another gross thing Savannah enjoys playing with!!! What am I going to do with this CHILD of mine? LOVE HER TO PIECES!!!! She has been gone a lot this summer and I have MISSED her SO SO SO much!!! LOVE HER GUTS!!!

Fun at the Bear Lake...even though we never went!

We took off for the Memorial Day weekend and went to Bear Lake with the 5th wheel! Every year Lane gets soooo busy with work that we never use the 5th wheel for fun so come rain of sun shine I was determined that we were going camping...well OUR style of camping!
We stay at the KOA camp ground, it is a great one with lots of fun activities. As you can see we LOVE to rent all the different kinds of bikes. We rode these into town and had a great time! Savannah and I both want one now but I can't see to find them.
This is one of Lanes and Savannahs favorites "YUCK". Play dough ice cream!
Hannah and Savannah got these mouth pieces that they put in there mouth and they light up. They had a great time walking around the camp ground at night, they got lots of funny comments on there glowing teeth with braces!
We never made it to the lake it was a bit chilly and rainy but the girl still had a great time coloring and making things!
This is what Lane likes to do when he has time off! He had just got home from working in North Dakota for 2 weeks working 17 hour shifts 7 days a week, so we let him get away with this and appreciate all his hard work! He is still smoken hot even asleep! LOVE HIM!!!

Hmmm....do you think she likes Basketball?

No she LOVESSSSS Basketball!!! Savannah went on the computer and downloaded all the NBA team logos than colored them to look just like the colored version. Now they will be hung up in her room. Oh MY! I guess I should be glad she is doing something kinda of constructive! I LOVE HER!!! Although a little side note, I did talk her into doing volleyball which she is involved it now, but she really doesn't like to admit she does like it. Yeah!! Love my girl!!!

AHHHH... I want to go back!!!

We went to a new resort this year! We LOVED IT!!!
This is one of the pools that looked like you could just step right out of the pool into the ocean!
Lane gets so dark when we go to Mexico he always gets several comments like: "How long have you guys been down here. "What kind of sunscreen do you use." One guy that sat by us at the pool kept looking at him and saying "Dude you are so DARK." Than he asked him if he wanted to go for a run on the beach. I got a little concerned. WEIRDO!!!
The resort had grills outside by the pool that you could get hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken for lunch. This was Lanes favorite place to eat, yes the grill even though there were "7" very nice gourmet restaurants to choose from. But one this day they had a small boat come in right to our resort and deliver the swordfish that they grilled for everyone. Very cool!
Beautiful!

We had so much fun just relaxing and enjoying being with one another and meeting lots of new friends from all over the world. It was a GREAT TRIP!!!

Cancun, MEXICO here we come!!!

I decided to post this because we leave Saturday for a week in CANCUN!!!! I am more excited than the past years I think because it is a FREAKING BLIZZARD outside my house RIGHT NOW!!!

Summer Basketball CAMPS!!!

Should Savannah got to BYU's women's basketball camp?
OR....University of Utah's Women's basketball camp?
OR.... Weber State University's women's basketball camp?


Ok so I have spent more time than I can say I would like researching basketball camps for Savannah to go to this summer. I couldn't decide they all looked fun and had a lot to offer, sooooooo I decided that she is going to WORK her little behind off doing what ever Lane and I want her to do and send her to all 3!!! I know it is a little much but she really wants to do all 3 and I think it will be a great experience for her. So hopefully she will come through on her end and earn some of the green stuff!!!

Backetball in Soda Springs!!!

Savannah feeling a little bruised... She has bruising on top of bruising after this week of playing basketball. Time to start icing wounds before next weekends tournament!
We went to Soda Springs for the weekend for basketball tournament, I wasn't real sure about hotel situations so I went on-line and found a fun 2 bedroom cabin. We brought along with us 2 of Savannah's teammates and Lanes Mom. It was perfect for all of us and as you can see the girls had FUN being SILLY!!!
More silliness while paying a good ole game of OLD maid.
Sooo I have to say I took this picture because I was laughing out LOUD when I took it. Savannah plays center on her team and up to NOW she has jumped and has gotten every single jump ball. Like I said UP TO NOW!!! Really this girl was pushing 6 feet and was in 6th grade. REALLY??? What do they feed these girls in Preston Idaho?? Potatoes maybe???
Good Old Tournament Sweatshirts. I have a feeling we will have quit the collection of these in the future.
"STAR VALLEY STARS" Thanks Amy and Debanee for all your hard work!!!
Cute girls!!!! We had such a GREAT weekend, we all came home pretty worn out but can't wait for the next one and the next one and the next one!!! It is fun to be a players Mom, A LOT of stress but very fun! I am pretty sure I am hard to sit by, as I had to get up and move few times I need to be a more patient and less competitive and have a little thinker skin when it come to Savannah and basketball....I am working on it.
