Family is not an important thing ~ it is everything
Braden's 11th birthday was a hit. He had all of his friends over and we drove to Sandy Fun Center where he and his friends were able to do unlimited activities- waterpark, laser tag, roller skating, playing on the bounce houses, playing in the jungle and the blast zone.
They also had Burger King hamburgers, chips, pop, watermelon, cake and ice cream.
I had to drag those boys out of there. Classic Fun Center- what a way to party!!
While camping with our cute neighbors in Granite Flats, Taylor got really sick. At night, I was listening to her breathing and she had a respiratory rate of 80 bpm (normal 40-60 bpm). When we got her to the ER the next day, her saturations were 80% on room air. She was admitted to Riverton Hospital for Metapneumo virus. She stayed there for 4 days and went home on oxygen.
Over the first weekend in July, we enjoyed camping with the Cardon's and the Parkin's at Diamond Fork campground. It was a fun campground with a "discovery trail" that the kids could explore without spuervision. The men enjoyed fishing in the river and us ladies just enjoyed time to talk and play games. We also had a fun hike up to the hot springs (pictured above). If only there weren't large snakes everywhere!! 
Thanks for ALL my family and friends that showed so much love and support to me on my birthday. I felt so loved.
After birthday dinner (in which she choose steak- not pizza), Grandpa and Grandma Hintze and the rest of the Hintze clan came over to have cheesecake (I think another sign of maturity... she didn't want a cake decorated by Dad.)
On Monday morning, Aubrielle went to Boondocks with me and then went swimming at Oakridge. That night we went to Golden Corral. (This is my kid's FAVORITE place in the world to have dinner.)
Braden loves getting his picture taken- can you tell? "Just Dance" was Aubrielle's favorite toy that she got. We have lots of dance parties at our house now. 
Katelyn's Preschool was fabulous and so was her graduation. They had speaking parts and sang songs and her teacher, Ms Alisha, also did a video of them with pictures that she took throughout the year. Katelyn has stated many, many times how much she LOVES preschool. E 
And who do they owe this to? That right girls... kiss up so that he will continue to fund your hobby.
