U2

I know I should have thought of a cooler title for this blog entry, but really nothing is cooler than U2. Just plain and simple! I honestly can't explain how COOL and AMAZING and AWESOME the U2 concert was!!! We rode down with Kami and Travis. Our tickets weren't together, but at least we got to be together down and back! We were lucky enough to meet up with Jason and Lisa and their family. Our tickets were general admission on the field and the GA line was SO LONG. I was a little worried about where we'd end up, BUT there was no need to worry! We were right up close to the outer circle. Great view. We played cards and goofed off to pass the time. It was so much fun. The energy was amazing! Jason and Lisa went to get food and they hadn't been gone long at all when Jason came running back yelling "they are letting 1,000 more people into the inner circle! Wanna go?" We all RAN! We ended up SO STINKING CLOSE! The Fray was good. I think that everyone was so excited for U2 that the Fray seemed a little dull. A guy behind me said "wow, I've never yawned at a concert before!" So funny. There is really no way to explain the excitement and energy in the air as U2 came out onto the stage! I LOVED IT! They played such a great mix of old and new, and the stage was AMAZING! I have never seen anything like it! Bono is a genius! Truly 360! the screen was so cool too! I honesly don't know how to describe it, But it was AWESOME! It was all so AWESOME in fact that I passed out. Yup. I'm the idiot who passes out at a U2 concert. It was a slow song, calm, and my ears started to rush and my eyes started to go fuzzy. I ran through the check list....knees locked? nope. Hyperventilating? Nope. Head hurting? nope.......and then I turned around and grabbed onto Mike's jacked. I said "I'm going to pass out" and next thing I knew I was on the ground with people looking at me. UGH! I'm such an idiot! I moved back to the little fence separating the inner circle from the walkway. It gave me something to hold onto and a little bit more air and I was alright. Who knows why I passed out, but it made for an exciting story! ANYWAY, this was one of the greatest nights ever! Perfect Mothers Day present! Thanks Mike! I have to say though, I am no longer a teenager and not getting home until 1:30 is harder than it used to be :)

Congrats Sinda!!

My other wonderful sister in law just graduated from her program at Provo College! We're all proud of you!!!

Antelope Island with the 4th grade!

Every year the 4th grade goes to Antelope Island. BUT the best part of the trip is the bike ride! We start the trip with a 7 mile ride across the causeway. This year was really fun. Mike and I both got to go with Matt! I was a little (ok a lot) worried about the ride because of the rain. It's been raining non stop! The morning was wet, but the rain stopped in time for us to ride the causeway! Matt, who is a very determined child, was the first person to finish the ride. We were done about 45 minutes before the end of the line actually :). It was so fun! It gave Matt a lot of time to skip rocks! After the ride we played at the beach and had lunch (Matt's favorite part of the beach was the seagull skull that the girls found !) and then went on a fun hike.....in the pouring rain! The good thing about the rain is that it kept the bugs away. Once the rain stopped the bugs swarmed us and ....we were eaten alive! It was just so much fun to spend the day with Mike and Matt. I LOVED it! Thanks Mary for keeping the little ones!

Trampoline Fun

I'm so glad that the weather lets up here and there! The boys LOVE the tramp, and I think these pic's are so fun!

Soccer Fun

One of my favorite things about spring is that sports start again! This year we have 3 boys playing soccer and 4 playing baseball. because of the rain we haven't had much baseball yet, BUT soccer has come and already gone! It seems like it went by so quickly. All 3 boys are great soccer players and more importantly they LOVE the game! Ty also has had fun reffing games. Mike has been a wonderful coach for Isaac's team, in spite of parents, and everyone had a great season! Lucas and Nick even had fun :) I just love my boys!
