I needed a break and so on Thursday after school, I loaded up the crazies and we took off for a small vaca to see family and meet the new baby. When we arrived the parents weren't home and wouldn't be for a couple hours, so we went over and surprised my lovely sister and made her feed us dinner. :) It started to get late, so we went back to my parents (luckily I have a key) and got ready for bed. Nana and Papa finally decided they wanted to see us and made it home.

Friday was a lazy/relaxing day.

The crazies had Oaks, Kix, and Harlie to play with and had so much fun. We also got to meet Mr. Ryder. What a cutie pie he is.

Mom and Dad left again to go work in the temple and so we got another yummy dinner at Shai's house. She is so wonderful to feed us twice.

We actually picked a great weekend to go, because everyone but Whitney decided to come down to see the baby. What a fun day Saturday was.

There was swinging.

Jumping on the tramp.

That pile of leaves on the tramp are mint leaves. They were sucking on them all day.

We enjoyed the gorgeous weather.

GiGi had her first 4-wheeler ride and loved it.

Shared puffs.

At one point I couldn't find Ty anywhere. We were looking all over (thankfully there was no water in the ditch or I would have been a mess). We finally found her asleep with her blanket.

Kisses were given.

We left this morning and got back to our awesome daddy. It was a great weekend and I am thankful that I was able to go.

I love these people.

After camping we spent a few days at my parents house. The crazies had a blast playing with cousins, running around outside with temps not as scorching, and swimming.
We didn't bring swimsuits, so the kids got to swim in their clothes. They thought that was kinda funny.
It started with three...


Then we got another one...


And another...


And another...


Ty was so funny diving into the pool...

We didn't do much while there, just some good old country living. We came home on Wednesday. and like usual it was nice to be home. The crazies are already talking about going back in the next couple weeks.

A Week of Sutherland

It was so good to see everyone at the reunion we decided to stay for a week after. Jenna left Miss Z and the crazies had some awesome cousin time. Actually Ty and Harlie do not get along AT ALL! I have no idea why this is, because she is really sweet with Kix, but when Harlie is around there is a lot of hitting (mostly by Harlie) and crying (by both). They did have their good moments and it was fun to see them all together.
We did laundry right when we got back from camping and this picture was a must have because my sweet Morgy did the exact same thing when she was little.... Find the corner on the blanket and do your thing!


At first the girls didn't really want to go outside (they were so used to being inside all the time) so we had to force them out. But by the second day they were in heaven and couldn't get enough of the freedom to run. They loved wearing their swimsuits for the majority of the day (even if they never got wet or they got wet for 2 seconds) and got some good tan lines from it.




Jo Jo even spent one afternoon all by herself catching butterflies! If any of you know my children, you know that they DO NOT touch anything alive. This was a HUGE deal!!!


Ty of course played awesome by herself.



The weather was awesome. It seriously was so wonderful being able to sit outside all day and not want to die. I really do miss those cooler temps, but they are almost here!!!
The last day we were there, we planned to go up to Utah County to do a few things and right before we left Miss Z fell going up the stairs and split her chin open. I kinda was at a blank of what to do and kept asking my mom what I should do. I'm sure she thought I was completely nuts, but we got things in order and got her to the hospital to fix her up. She really was brave and crazy and just like her mother.



We finally got out of town and I was finally able to meet my newest nephew. He looks so much like his daddy!


Addie didn't know what to do with her cousins, but had fun with my camera. She took many pictures that were later deleted. She is a cutie...



We had such a good time, but I was ready to come home and have a husband again. :)
Thanks mom and dad for letting Dan use your car and for letting us make your crazy house just a touch crazier! I love you so much!!!
