Megan and Emily turned 14!!!

Image

Megan had a birthday party.  They had pizza and cupcakes at the park and then went ice skating.

Image Image

 Image Image

We went to the Olive Garden for dinner.  (Tyler was at Young Men's High Adventure in Moab, Utah and missed out on their special day.)

Image

You know when the Olive Garden waiter puts cheese on the dishes and says, "Say when," well, this is Emily's "when." 

Image

We surprised them with new iPhone SEs.

Image

Costco cakes.  Yummy!

My mom gave them these "blooming" candles.  They were cool (until we couldn't get them to stop playing "Happy Birthday" over and over and over again.

Image

Image

We went to our lender's annual picnic and the girls enjoyed the face painting and balloons.

Basketball for Tyler

Image

We found a "teen car" for Tyler (and the girls when they get older).

Image

Image

Tyler officially got his driver's license.

Image

Emily participated in the Granite Junior Youth Symphony.  They performed at Trolley Square and at the Aquarium.  She did percussion.

Image

Image

Image

I went through the Aquarium with Emily and her friend Ailia.

Image

Image

Image Image

Image

Image

Mom and Dad came down for the Granite Junior and Senior Youth Symphony (and Choir) concert.

Image

Image

Our Get Out Pass tickets got us into a Utah Warriors Rugby game for free.  They had activities before the game/match.  We "drew" on a car.

Image

Image

Ha!  The sprinklers came on.

Image

They handed out beach balls upon entry to see if they could have the world's largest beach ball party.  They had extras and passed them out and we kept blowing them up.

Image

Image

Image

We were pleasantly surprised when the event organizer offered us 4 VIP wristbands to get into the VIP lounge.  The had pizza, sliders, hot dogs, nachos, meatballs and cookies.  It was so cool to eat and watch the game from the lounge.

Image 

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

They had everyone throw the beach balls onto the field.

Image

They allowed people on the field and then corraled all of the beach balls into a fenced-off area.

Image Image

They declared that we had indeed made the the world's record for largest beach ball pit.

Image Image

Emily got inside of the pit.

Image

Image

Tyler got a picture with Tony Finau, a pro golfer.

Image

We got a picture with the World Record plaque and Emily got a picture with the event organizer who gave us the VIP wristbands.

Image Image

They ended the night with fireworks.  We had never been to a rugby game before, but this night was very, very cool.

Image Image

We went to the Hansen family reunion in Tremonton.  Megan and Olivia enjoyed the chalk art.

Image

Look at the contrast between these two Hadleys.  They're second cousins.

Image

Image

Emily, Megan and I made a lot of ice cream cake rolls to raise money for future trips.
