I love my Kimberlee!!!

On Sunday, Kimberlee had a belly ache, so I let her stay home from church. 
This is what I came home to!

She even used my favorite "Black & Yellow"
Go STEELERS!

It reads:
"Dear Mom, you are the best mom in the whole entire world!
And you also work your very, very, very best!
From your daughter, Kimberlee Christine Manwaring
I love you mom"

Awe. Thank You Kimee!
I Love you more and most of all!

I am lucky to have such a sweet - tenderhearted girl like you as my daughter.
I love you Kimee C.

Soccer Fun...

Kaylee played a great game against La Roca.....it's not easy being a goalie.....Just sayin'

Nice Block Kaylee!

Her drop kicks were dead on, she had 2 assisted kicks (kicks that resulted in goals!)


 We had Erica Owens (BYU Womens Keeper) come to Kaylee's game. We thought if she could see how Kaylee plays a game, we could continue training with her and have her make the adjustments according to what she saw at the game....

Erica Owens even had some things to tell the girls during half time regarding their positioning...
I have appreciated Erica SOOO much. She's turned Kaylee into one heck of a goalie!

It was a pretty hot day...and the girls were exhausted.....

So, what do you do after a long, hot soccer game?
RUN IN SPRINKLERS!!!

Nice Kaylee..

Nice Paige....

I love that Kaylee loves soccer,
 but I love that she's made some pretty good soccer friends along the way too :)

Aspire Dance Competition - SFHS

Kimberlee and her performing team won 1st place for BOTH routines!!
AND
They won the Grand Champion High Point award of the DAY! Woot!


~we also found out that Kimee's Dance company placed 1st in EVERY SINGLE ROUTINE at this competition. Congratulations Turning Point Dance Studio!!! ~

Provo Tabernacle....

What a fun and unique opportunity we had to go see the Provo Tabernacle.
 It will be restored as an LDS Temple!!! 
The construction should be completed by 2015. So excited!!

Plus, how cool was this! The whole thing is on stilts while they pour concrete for a new foundation :)

I had to have a pic with my girls to mark this in the history books :)

BYU Ranch Dressing

You might be asking yourself "Really? A post about BYU Ranch Dressing?"
Um...YES!

Funny story, I was making dinner last night, but wanted to make homemade chicken nuggets...but didn't because we didn't have any BYU ranch dressing.  We are a ranch family and NOTHING beats BYU Ranch dressing. So, we drove to the Provo Creamery to buy some BYU Ranch. Yup, drove all the way to Provo just for ranch dressing...LOL

So, if you are in the Provo area, stop at the creamery and buy some of their ranch dressing...you will NOT be disappointed....and yes, dinner was awesome!


Plus, my kids love it when I make these homemade chicken nuggets :)
