Antelope Island Field Trip 5/18/10

I went on a field trip with Emilie and her class to Antelope Island. I didn't get to take any pictures of the kids while on the field trip. I was in a station as a helping parent. I was being a masonary mom that day. We were making bricks out of sand, water, and straw.....it was quite a messy job, but it was a lot of fun for the kids to come over and get all dirty and play with water....well I think that boys enjoyed it a little more than the girls did.

Anyway......needless to say I couldn't take pictures with mud all over my hands for fear of muddying my camera. So this was the only picture that I even took this day. But I loved the way that it turned out.

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer......

Some of you may know that Emilie's #1 sport is soccer. These are pictures from last years team, but the teams go from May to May. She has been on the Premier team for her age group last year and continued this year. She absolutely loves playing soccer both indoor and outdoor.
Thisis what half time looks like.....coach coaching and giving more instruction.

Emilie is #2 (like poo). The other blonde at the top is her friend Summer and below #7 is her friend Camryn. These girls have been together for a few years now playing on the same team.

Emilie in action. I loved her Green shoes....you could see her feet anywhere on the field.

Action......take that goal and kick it HARD! Oh and she probably got a foul for the picture on the right. Did you know that soccer is not a physical sport? The refs usually call a foul whenever a player falls even if they shouldn't have. UGH!!!!

Zac Brown Band March 6, 2010

I won tickets off the radio to go see The Zac Brown Band at the Rail Event Center. Lacy and I went and ran into Melissa and Nick.










Lacy and I had a fun filled night. We didn't watch much of the concert but listened and danced and just had a great time!

Emilie......

Emilie was getting ready to go with a friend to church. She wanted her hair curled and we had a few minutes before she was to be picked up so I said let's go outside and just play around with a few pictures. I'm so glad she was willing to go along with it.
You can really see all her angel kisses in these pictures. She is such a gift to me.

I think this might be my favorite of the three. I love how innocent she looks.....not just looks she is.

And the last I think that you can tell by the way she looks that it was pretty sunny outside but she is still a beauty!

University of Utah Basketball

The girls and I went to one of the U of U womens Basketball game. They had a blast collecting little things that they gave out at the game and watching the game. It was fun to have Lacy go with us since she played basketball from when she was little through high school and now as an adult on a rec. league.

Everyone loves "Swoop" even Lacy.

I think that Lacy was blushing in this picture and this was so unexpected but still fun!

And at the end of the game when the floor was cleared the girls went down so they could take a picture on the "U" we are completely a University of Utah family.

Temple Square lights at Christmas time 2009

I took the girls to Temple Square to see the lights. We rode the Trax over from the Salt Lake City Library and that was fun for the girls. Emilie and Deja had not been on Trax but once or twice before so they thought that it was pretty fun.

Below is the reflecting pool and they don't have things in the water all year-round once at Christmas time.


It was a chilly chilly night and we had to go for coffee and hot chocolate after we were done walking around.

Deja didn't seem to be to happy but she was and had a good time. Just not always excited to have me take her picture. LOL!





9:13 PM and it's time to get back on the Trax. I love this old clock that they have downtown.

Ophir & Saltair Drive 11.8.09

Again.....it's better late than never.

Rob and I enjoy going on Sunday drive and sometime the girls like to go and other time we just make them go. This day Deja got out of it and sent the day with her friend and we were gone ALL DAY LONG. But what fun we had adventuring.

I found this wall along side the freeway and I had to stop and see if I could get any good pictures. I think that Lacy took these pictures of Rob and I.
And of course I took some of the girls too. Lacy really liked the wall and told me today that she wants to go back there but after taking a shower and getting ready for the day.

I found this train too and had to experiment with Lacy since she is an easy person to take pictures of and she likes having picture taken.


These were taken inside the building. It is an old building that I guess people just enjoy spraying with different colors, but what a great place for pictures.

These were taken in the little place in Ophir. It's this old mining town and they have a little town place that is pretty cute too.
This picture of Emilie I have to say that we were bad parents. This is the train and we left Emilie in the car because she was asleep and we didn't want to wake her. Well we had to cross the street and hop a fence to get to the train. Emilie woke up in the parked locked car with nobody around and started crying. Good thing we really weren't too far so she felt better seeing us just across the street. I also love having these fun silly pictures of Rob and I because he never wants to be in pictures and this time he played along and even "SMILED"!

Look we can all be silly and take pretty fun pictures doing it too!


This was Emilie's idea to pretend that we were hanging out by a fire which there wasn't one but just a pit from a previous fire. The second picture Emilie said "Pretend like your affraid that your going to get burned." I look like I'm going to swat at the fire and Lacy is scared and Emilie couldn't help but laugh. :) I really do love these family moments.
They were being silly and I was just taken pictures.

Me and two of my girls!

I love both of these pictures. Lacy's picture just turned out really well and the other it looks as if Lacy (Big Sister) is showing Emilie something....just being a big sister.

This is the Good-Bye Picture. That's just what I named it. And again I just love that Lacy is such a GREAT BIG SISTER to both Emilie and Deja. She is always willing to do most anything for her little sister's.

Alway's capture your family moments. I love these times with my husband and girls and love being able to take picture to show that we really have a lot of fun just being together even when it's not going to a water park or an amusement park. Just fun being together as a family!

Emilie Turned 10 in November

So Emilie had a birthday in Novemeber and had her birthday party at Classic Fun Center. All too often....it's better late than never right?

The Birthday Girl playing on the jumpies!
Little Sis Deja playing

Some of the girls hanging out while watching others skate.

Summer, Camryn and Paige....Summer is the crazy blonde, she is alot of fun to have around. These are also three of the girls that play soccer with Emilie!

Deja and Maddie....Deja was able to invite one friend to Emilie's birthday.

Pro Skaters!

Aubrey and Jessa playing in the jumpies! These two girls are also soccer players with Emilie!

Emilie and Kaylee!

The Soccer Cake! Looks Yummy right?

Time to blow out the candles!

I think the girls had a fun time and Emilie got lots of fun things from her friends. Lacy had a blast too, sometimes she thinks that she is just as little as her sisters and is always a good sport playing around with them and their friends. It's so sad watching my babies get bigger and bigger.....they have switched from saying Mommy and Mom...that has been a hard adjustment for me :( ! I love watching them learn and become smarter.

Some things about Emilie.......

• Emilie has been such a blessing to our lives and such a fun addition to our family.
• She enjoys school and is always getting good grades and loves to read.
• She is in her 5th year of soccer (U10) as of her birthday.
• She and her sister Deja love to tease eachother.
• She hates Tuna.
• She is wearing size 12 slim pants and already growing out of them because her legs won't stop growing.
• She wears a size 4 soccer shoe and 3.5 tennis shoe.
• Last time we were at the doctors she weighed 73lbs. WOW!

WE LOVE YOU EMILIE!

Black Island Farms 10.11.09

Black Island Farms.....I think that this may be becoming a tradition. We love coming up here to play around and take the hayride out to pick our own pumpkins and cut them off the vine. This is way better than picking a pumpkin out of pumpkin that have already been cut off the vine. They even have corn mazes too. This year the corn mazes were of Jacob and Edward and they are a lot of fun to find your way through. The girls going down the slide forward.
And again but this time going backwards!

All the Veale girls!

Emilie and Deja waiting to go out on the hayride to pick their pumpkins!

The Pig Noses! Deja won a pig nose because they also have piglet races and I'm not sure if her pig won or if all the kids that were picked just got one.

Deja and her Magic Pumkpin!

Lacy posing!

We had a blast playing and sliding!
