10 4 T- Comings and Goings

This past weekend was pretty busy.  We had tickets to go to the Supercross in Salt Lake.  And this year, to make it even more special, Scott's nephew, Landen qualified to ride in the night show!  This is a huge accomplishment for someone his age (17) and it was really fun to go and watch him along with the other riders.

Highlights were:
1.  Standing in line for 30 minutes to buy two churros.  (That cost $3.00 each no less.)
2.  Spending a little alone time with Scott.  We had a babysitter so we were kind of alone.
3.  Spending time with Robbie and Christy.  We got to go to dinner on Friday night and then all hung out on Saturday night too.  Super fun.
4.  Rode Trax for the first time.  (not super exciting, but somewhat noteworthy)
Scott, wishing it was him on the line with the big guys!
Tyler is now an avid Supercross fan too!  He braved the weather to be there with us.

Here is Landen-with his girlfriend and us.

The girls after the races.
Despite the freezing cold and wet weather, we had such a fun time. And it was an exciting race-down to the final few laps.
5.  Earlier in the day we went shopping and to lunch with Grandma Taft.  This is Presley not 2 minutes after we left Old Navy.  Sucker and all in her mouth, she was done!

Other noteworthy happenings:
6.  One day I was stuck without a babysitter during preschool.  My friends Eliza and Jason came to the rescue. They came and picked up Landon and Presley and took them for the morning.  They took them to the river to feed the ducks and took them to a little park.  Jason truly has the magic touch with Presley.  Whenever he comes to church, he takes her and she usually falls right to sleep on his shoulder. 
7.   They are the cutest couple and will make the best parents  in a few months time.  They took some darling pics of the kids that day-so here they are!








And lastly, my favorite not blogged about pictures have to be these.
8.  I walked in my room one day to find Landon and Presley diaper box fighting. They each had a diaper box on their head and they were peeking out of the handle hole.  They would count to three and then ram into each other at full speed, falling down and laughing.  Then they would get up and start it all over again.  
9.  I didn't really get them in action, but if you look closely, you can see little blue eyes peeking out of the boxes.






10.  Stay tuned for Parker's new look....that's all the tease you get!
