Little Fam Trip to Cascade Springs

Dan's Parents came up from New Mexico for a few days and we were able to hang out with them some. They had never been to Cascade Springs, so all the family that lives around here got together and went for a drive. Scarlett was so funny leading the pack. She was in the front for a big chunk of the hike and when I would call her name, she would run so I couldn't get her. It was pretty funny.

They are still good at making messes!!!

I can pretty much always expect to get out of the shower and see the girls getting into stuff that they shouldn't be getting into. They had help with this mess--Zoey. I think that she started it and the girls finished it, because the girls don't ever get into this drawer and Zoey loves to open it. I have toys in the top drawer for them to play with, but for some reason, Zoey can't keep this drawer shut. Its like it calls her name! Where is Zoey you might ask? She is making another mess in the corner with the books! :)


And as you can see here, the girls are still making themselves gorgeous with food! Sometimes I will just take the time to feed them, because I am not up to cleaning them and the table and the floor and the chair... But at least they love to eat!!!

What a family!

My family is so darn cute! I will sometimes just sit and watch them all and realize how blessed that I am to have them in my life. I couldn't ask for much more and I am so happy. The girls are so hilarious. They make me laugh so hard and I love that. Dan is my soul mate. I couldn't have gotten anyone else that treats me as good . He is so wonderful and I love him more than words can say. LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Summer Fun!

A couple of weeks ago we went down to Delta and took the boat out to the Reservoir. It was the first time that the girls had been there, and they had a blast playing in the water and eating watermelon. Between the 4 of those kids, they ate about 1/2 of the whole watermelon. I got up on the kneeboard, which I haven't done since I was little. Dan tried to ski and kneeboard, but he needs just a little more practice to get it down. He is awesome for trying so much!!!

Independence Day!!!

I know, I know. I am the biggest slacker in keeping everyone up to date. Things always gets crazy in the summer. We had a really good 4th this year. We went to Delta the night before so that we wouldn't miss the lovely parade that the good city of Delta provides the wonderful citizens.
Before the parade starts they have the jets fly over, which is always pretty cool. This year, before anything started, they had people line up on Main Street and do the bunny hop. They were going for the longest bunny hop ever. I do have to say that they pulled through and now Delta will soon be in the Guiness Book of World Records. How exciting!!! :)







After the parade, they have performances, food, rides, games, etc... at the city park. We went there and walked around for a bit. We had the girls get their faces painted.

Ride a fun barrell ride in which they totally cried when it was over and they couldn't get back on.

And they rode horses for the first time.

We then went home, lounged around a bit, played in water, went to a BBQ with some friends, and then played some badminton.

It was such a fun 4th!!!

Family is the BEST!!!

So, this is my family. Well part of it. Many people were not there this year, but it was such a fun family reunion. We had a lot of kids who made it interesting. We had yummy food. There were bear sightings, fish sightings, and can you believe that there was dirt!?! The girls had a blast playing with Oakley and getting as dirty as they could.

As you can tell--we had the most fantastic, but tiring time!!!!

Our 3rd Anniversary!

On June 11, we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary. Since it fell on a Monday, we dropped the girls off at Ryan and Ali's place on Friday and left for the night. We traveled up to Midway and stayed at a bed and breakfast called 'Johnsons Mill'. Any of you who need someplace to go, you should stay there. It is beautiful.


Our room was called the Waterfall Terrace. It was on the 3rd floor and overlooked the waterfall, pond and river. Gorgeous! They served us breakfast on the patio by the waterfall. Is was YUMMY!

After breakfast, we walked around the property and down the driveway, there was a playground. So of course, we went and played.

Later we went and watched 'Oceans Thirteen' and when we were ready, we picked up the girls and went to dinner. On Monday, Sarah watched the girls and we went to our Restaraunt 'Macaroni Grill'---the place we went on our first date.

This was a fun anniversary and I am so happy that I have the best guy in the world to share my life with. He is absolutely my soul mate. I love him so much! I can't wait for the many more memories that we will have!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this anniversary happen!!!!

What cuties!!!

Do I really need to say anything??? :)

Brownies....

Scarlett and Hawley love being on the chairs in the kitchen, so Dan let them help him make some brownies--My favorite. They had a lot of fun helping him.
