Happy Birthday Tiffany!
Twenty years ago today, August 27th I remember having quite the traumatic experience.... I remember a trail of water to the bathroom, where my mom was standing in the bathtub panicking. You see, she and I were alone, and her water had just broken! Being 7 I totally thought she was peeing her pants, and was bewildered as to why she was in the tub and not on the toilet! Shortly after that, in the hospital, my mom gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Tiffany Liegh! I finally had a baby sister woo hoo!! I loved having a sister to play mommy with, to tease, to babysit, to follow me around and bug me, and to play with all the time. It's been so much fun the last several years, you see, we've gotten to be very close. I love that we enjoy to do so much together, that we get so silly when were together, that we can let go and have a ton of fun! I look up to her, and admire her, she is so strong, and compassionate. She is a great aunt to my children who love her loads, except maybe when she's teasing them!!.
She is one of my very closest and bestest friends, and I love her with all my heart! So anyway, Tiffany, I hope that you are having the happiest of birthdays on this your twentieth, make it count! I love you so very much!

Happy Birthday!!

Soccer Rocks!!

So for the last six or seven months Taylor has been begging to go out for sports, so I was very grateful that the soccer season was finally upon us! yes that's right, I am now a soccer mom! Taylor and all his supporters were all looking forward to the first game. It was a ball to watch him and his best little buddies out on the field playing together, but they had their ups and downs, Taylor had a blast he was running his little heart out, and right before half time he said to the coach " Take me out coach, I'm sweaty and I need a drink!" The things kids say! But he then wanted to sit out because he was afraid of the "orange guys" (they were good and we were not, remember first game ever...), all the kids had there moments, Easton wanted to play and be in the middle of things, Max didn't wanna play because he wanted to score a goal and couldn't, Colby was sad cuz we weren't winning, and Keagan just wanted to watch and eat fruit snacks! Kids are so funny, but they all played some more and had a great time!! They were also nice to there soccer moms and stayed for a little photo shoot! Thanks to all the family that came to support Taylor, he's always grateful for his cheering supporters!!

Did I mention that soccer moms rule!!

Joining the Blog World

So after being convinced by some of my friends, I've decided to join the world of blogging, Lisa came and showed me how to set it up and how it all works (seeing how I'm not so computer savvy!) Anyway I've been working on it all weekend, Jeff says that I love it more than my family! Which is completely untrue, but I have been excited at the fact that I actually know how to do something fun on the computer! So all in all I hope you enjoy looking at it and I hope to stay up to date with friends and family. To start I decided to catch you up on some of the fun things we've done this summer...... It's kind of a lot but I hope you like it!!!

UTAH"S HOGLE ZOO!! August 15, 2007

Grandma Garner does not like snakes at all, so aunt Tiffany and Taylor thought it would be fun to take this picture just for her!!

Easton and aunt Amy riding on the train. The train is one of Easton's favorite parts of the zoo!!

This is the bald eagle from the World of Flight bird show at the zoo, this is Jeff's favorite bird! It was really cool to get up so close!!

For anyone who hasn't seen this, it's "The Ghost of the Bayou!"! (or "The Ghost of BYU" as Taylor calls it!) Anyway it's the white alligator at the Hogle Zoo!

Summer Swimming!!!

Although we love to do all sorts of fun things in the summer, swimming is definitely at the top of the list! Whether it's in our backyard, at a friends, or the Veterans pool we love nothing more than the water on a hot summers day!! The pool isn't only fun for the kids, mommy loves it too, you get a tan while they kids use all their energy so they sleep really good at night! Who could ask for more!! Plus it's a fun way to cool off while we visit and play with our friends and family!! So to all those who are dedicated to the pool, like me (you know who you are!), thank you for making so many fun and memorable memories with me and my boys this summer!!

Taylor, Max, and Keagan swimming at Max's village!! (as Taylor calls it!)

My kids are little fish, and it's so fun to watch them swim around the pool, they seem to get more brave and better with every passing day!

"FAMILY, isn't it about time!!"

Me and my girl cousins try to get together once a year for a Fowler cousin overnighter. We do lots of fun things together, but it's mostly about spending quality time together! Sometimes when you get this many girls together we get a little crazy, but we sure do have great fun and laugh a lot!! This year we stayed at grandmas and grandpas house, they are great hosts. Grandma even made crepes!! Yummy!! Thanks a lot to them for putting up with all the silliness!!

Thanks Tiffany, Nicole, Jordynn, Aubrey, Katie, and Libby for the fun night and the great memories!!

Fishing, Dino Park, and Yuba!!

Fishing at Vivian Park...

We went up the canyon for family night and went fishing, the boys love to fish! We had a good time. the boys both caught three fish a piece, maybe more! Those fish sure love Craft singles cheese!! It was a fun family night, Jeff and I had fun fishing too! (to help the boys of course!!)

Dinosaur Park...

in July we took a trip to the dino park in Ogden, my kids love this place. How could Taylor not, seeing as how he has such an obsession with dinosaurs and all! and anything Taylor likes, pretty sure Easton likes it too!!

Yuba Lake...

The last week in June we went with the Knights and their ward to Yuba lake, we went the night before and camped, the water was so nice, and the weather was warm. (a little to warm for me at some points!) We cooked hot dogs over the fire, swam, and boated it was a blast!!

We also won the sand sculpture contest for our spectacular "Knight Family Octopus!"

Fun Little Trips!!

Camping at Strawberry...
One of our favorite pastimes is camping, not only is it fun family time, and beautiful in the mountains, but it's great entertainment for the kids!! One of our favorite places to go is up by Strawberry Reservoir!

The McKee's like to come with us when they can, Keagan and Taylor always have a ball together!!

Easton had a little too much fun in the dirt! Tiff and I were staying warm by the fire!! We always love to go with my family!

St. George...

We went to St. George for a little R&R at the beginning of the summer, we had a lot of fun climbing on the red rocks!!!

Trip to Europe

Our Summer Trip!!

Our summer started out with a fun filled adventure across the big blue! My wonderful in-laws took Jeff, his sisters Sarah and Amy, my brother Jared, and I on a trip to Europe! It was a dream come true!

London...

Our journey began in London, I loved it there it was so much fun to see Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, London and Tower bridges, Westminster, Parliament, and Big Ben. Amy and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy hats (like Joey did on "Friends"!!) and take fun photos all over London! From there we took the chunnel to ...

Paris...

I fell in love with Paris it was a beautiful city (most parts we saw anyway!) I thoroughly enjoyed every second there, there was so much to do and see! We saw the Arch de Triumph, the Louvre, Orssay Museum, Versailles, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Sainte Chapelle, Moulin Rouge, and of course the Eiffel Tower! It was so pretty when it sparkled at night!! Oh yes and we can't forget to mention that we loved french food, like panini's and crepes!!

Berlin...

After Paris we took an Easy Jet flight to Berlin, It was so green and rich with history. I thought it would be my least favorite but I really enjoyed every second we spent there. The museums were good, the food yummy, the concerts amazing, the buildings showed pieces of history around every corner, and not to mention that we had the most fabulous hosts anyone could ask for!!

Off to Italy...

We spent five and a half days in Italy and we loved every second of it. We started in Rome and made sure not to miss a thing; the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Roman Forum, Mouth of Truth, Cappucin Crypt, Vatican City, Pantheon, and the Borghese Museum. We did a lot of walking, we literally walked across Rome!! we also didn't pass up any shot we could get at Italian pizza and gelato! YUMMY!!

Florence.. came next, We all could do what we wanted to do there. So Sarah, Amy and I decided to become aspiring artists! We had a lot of fun drawing landmarks of Florence! We made sure to see Michelangelo's David while we were there! Then we took a vote and decided to make a quick stop in Pisa to see the legendary leaning tower, it was awesome!!!

Last but not least , we spent a day in Venice. It was amazing to get lost in this beautiful city built on water! I could not have asked for a better way to start out the summer... And I just want to thank you so much to mom and dad Knight for this wonderful trip of a lifetime, you really made my dreams come true!!!
