Update on Kennedi

Kennedi - 2013

Kennedi has been busy.  She has been to Preschools at  Bloomington Hills and also at The Summit.  She loves teasing boys and makes friends very easy.

Kennedi's favorite thing to do is to be outside playing, riding bikes, or playing dolls, but she is also a big helper at Firehouse Subs. 

Kennedi loves school and making friends

Kennedi is always ready for a "selfie"

She doesn't flirt at all with the boys ;)

She's a 5 year old diva!

Update on Kamri

Since 2012 Kamri has graduated Pre-School, and Kindergarten, and she has played U6 and U7 soccer and StG City Soccer too!  We started gymnastics in January 2014 and her and Kennedi love doing that too. 

Kamri's big thing is she wants to be first, or the best, or both.  She loves to play soccer and tries real hard to listen and plays very hard.  She hates to lose, but even hates more when she gets subbed out.

Update on Jadyn

Jadyn is our soccer-playing, selfie-taking daughter.   One big change in the last 2 years is now she is loud!

Jadyn's favorite thing to do is hang out with friends and Instagram or SnapChat or a mixture of all that.

This is why we call her "Beautiful Jadyn"

Jadyn would rather get some sun than swim in the pool.

This was from her old team, but I don't have a lot of pictures with her new team.

I told her we would get ice cream if she smiled!

Catching Up From 2012

We've been pretty busy the last 2 years. A majority of our time has been gobbled up with our Firehouse Subs franchise adventure.  In Andy's most previous life he worked for Sire Technologies and Hyland Software.  His job as an Implementation Specialist took him all over the United States and Canada.

On one of his visits to North Carolina he visited a Firehouse Subs restaurant.  Shortly thereafter we began pursuing opening a franchise of our own in St. George. Andy visited 7 different locations of Firehouse Subs: Las Vegas, Texas, Tampa, Sandy and North Carolina, talking to owners and managers and getting information on all factors from ownership to operation.

Next, we had to go to Florida to meet the Founders of Firehouse Subs.

Holly did some shopping

We ate at a few Firehouse Subs in and around Jacksonville, Florida.

Training in Las Vegas

Then we got started on our own in St. George.

Employee Training

We opened June 10th, 2013. 

This is a typical lunch crowd.

Golf Lessons

Dad decided it was time to teach Kamri how to golf. So he gave her some lessons.  She was trying to so hard to show that she could do it. She was doing great hitting the balls. It was fun to watch her. Kennedi was there too but she tried a couple times before I got the camera out and decided to go play instead. She hit the golf ball too!

Splash Parks

Fun at the St. George City splash park downtown.

Hairspray at Tuacahn

Jadyn and I stood in line Friday June 22nd to get 2 free tickets to Hairspray at Tuacahn from a radio station Planet 94.1. We have never been to Tuacahn before. It was awesome. We hope to be able to take the family to go to Aladdin that is also playing this year.

Awww so cute!

Sleepover at Grandma's retreat!

July 4th, 2012

We had a great July 4th. Dad woke up and made us a lovely breakfast. He made sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin. It was delicious!

Kamri, Kennedi, and I went shoe shopping. My favorite sandals broke and I needed some new ones so of course the girls got new ones too. They got silver sparkley jeweled sandals with heels. They absolutely love them.

After we came and picked up Dad to go to the movies. We took the girls to their first movie theater to see Brave. It was lots of fun. The girls enjoyed it. Kamri got scared at the bear fighting scene and

Kennedi isn't into movies yet. She did ok but didnt really sit and watch the movie for more than 10 minutes at a time.

We took AJ, Kam, Kenn, Dad and I to Cafe Rio for dinner. Came home got our chairs and blankets and drive up to the Ridge to watch the St. George City Firework show. It was beautiful.

This is one of my favorite July 4th songs Proud to be an American (lyrics are below):

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
