August Adventures

The beginning of August we had a surprise birthday party for Grandma P  at Silver Lake by Brighton. My Mom planned a fun picnic and we enjoyed being up in the mountains for the day and seeing all the critters running around. 

Aubrie also played baseball this year and hit 2 home runs in 1 game. She has a good arm and aim too.

Bluffdale Days was the second week of August this year and the girls loved the Monster Truck show, the rodeo, and getting to ride in the parade in the fire truck with Papa.

Since Aubrie played baseball this year, she got some tickets to a Bees game so we decided to pick the "Princess night" and fireworks afterwards.

                                                      

We celebrated Papa P's 79th birthday at their home. 

This year I made a special book for Papa P with pictures and funny stories we remember of Papa as well as a list of the things he has taught us such as using Windex to clean our hands after fishing. 

Back to School

August 21 2019

1st grade Mrs Bruce

Bastian Elementary

Aubrie was most excited for 1st grade because she gets to eat lunch in the cafeteria and go to school ALL day!

Brynnley started Pre-School at Lotsa Tots with her teacher Ms. Sheena and Ms. Autumn. Brynnley was so excited to start pre-school so she can catch up to Aubrie and start reading. Brynnley has started doing the Upstart program daily that helped Aubrie learn to read and Brynn loves to do her "homework" practicing writing her name and letters. Brynnley is able to write the letter B at this time and is working on the rest of her name.

Backstreets Back Alright!!!

 When I heard that Backstreet Boys were going to go on a US Tour I bought tickets the day they went on sale in November 2018.  I previously saw them in Las Vegas a year ago and enjoyed re-living some of my favorite songs and was so excited they were coming to Utah. On August 6th, Shannon, my Mom and I attended their DNA tour at Vivint Arena (Delta Center). It was such a great show and we had good seats at 7th row up from the floor. The tickets were quite pricey but sooooo worth it. I was amazed at how good their concert was, especially since they are a lot older and all have kids, they could still sing and dance like it was still the 2000's! They are just as good as they were 26 years ago!
