Christmas Cards

I can't believe its already time to send out Christmas cards!!! This year has flown by so fast!

I am daydreaming about the next time we can back to snowbird. It was so nice up there.
I sure do LOVE him!! Some days maybe not as much as others... I am so glad that we have stuck together through thick and thin literally!! We have been together for over 11 years, had 3 kids together, built 3 houses together, been through accidents, deaths, and a list that goes on and on.
Thanks for all that you do for us Kris I love you so much!!

Kangaroo Zoo

The kids had a blast going to Kangaroo Zoo. It was our first time there. My kids were so worn out afterwards it was nice.

BEAR LAKE

I LOVE BEAR LAKE!!! I miss our cabin that we used to go to when I was little so BAD!!
We decided to go to Bear Lake and let the kids swim for a few hours and hang out on the beach. It was alot of fun and it was so nice to be able to spend time with my dad after he was out of the hospital. The drive wasn't bad at all and we will definately have to go back up next summer more often.
The Raspberry shake on the way home was soooooooooo goooooood. Poor Kris missed out with all the hours he has been putting in, but I am so glad that he has work.

So glad that school is about to start!!! I have decided to make some changes...got rid of FB and I am recommitting to my blog.

I am also going to take my blog private so if you would like an invite please leave your email.

Trying to decide whether or not to recommit to my blog...It's been awhile, and I can't make up my mind. Plus, I did sometheng to the format when I upload pictures and can't figure out how to fix it. What to do, what to do.

Mothers Day

I found this card for my mom and I couldn't have said it better myself.
I've had hard times,
but I've never been alone.
I've had doubts and fears,
but I've never been without
someone to tell me
I could make it.
I've had disappointments,
but I've never been without
an example to follow-
someone who went before me
and made her way in the world
with courage and strength.
I've had good days,bad days
and days in between,
but I've never been without love.
And, Mom,you'll never be without it either.
That's how it is between a mother
and a daughter.
That's how it is between us.

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER'S DAY!
To all my friends that are Moms Happy Mother's Day!

Change

I feel a big Change coming on. I am not going to say what it might be because I am not a hundred percent sure its going to happen. If and when it does, I have made my peace with it. I am someone who doesn't like change all that much, but if things never change how can we grow?
Back from our BEST vacation ever and trying to get back in the grind.
Kris may have deleted all of the pics of the airplane ride and Disneyland. I hope Inkleys can find them somewhere...he says he reformatted or something and now they aren't showing up.
Thank goodness for his mom being there so we have some kind of backup.
Can't wait for more Vacations in the future.

Vegas Trip

We decided to take a weekend trip to Vegas/St. George for our Anniversary and Birthdays. We went down with my parents and we had such a great time. It was so nice to have a break from our kiddos. We went and saw Alice in Wonderland 3D the night we got down there. It was ok not something I would go see twice. Friday we woke up and went to Vegas. The only gambling we did there was to try and win a camaro. My dad won 8.60 and we lost our 2 dollars. It was worth a try though right? We also went to the Mandalay Bay to see their Shark Aquarium. SO neat. AFter we had our fill of the strip Kris really wanted to go see the new bridge they have been building at Hoover dam. OMG! That ended up being a nightmare but it was funny. We got there and the traffic was a little backed up going in but not too bad. The traffic going out....HORRIBLE. My dad said we could go another way home and miss all the traffic. hmmm. Boy was he wrong. We drove 30 minutes and saw a little gas station. We had my phone telling us to turn around but my dad wanted to double check. The lady confirmed that we did need to turn around or else it would take 4 hours. We bought our drinks and some pringles which ended up being $14.00. I would say that was highway robbery. Anyway, we made it back to the dam and waited for 1.5 hours just to get back over it. My dad told Kris he would give him 100 dollars if he beat us to the bridge walking. IT was funny and something I dont think any of us will forget. Saturday we went to Mesquite and Kris gambled his birthday money. It was a great trip and I can't wait for our next one.

VACATION

WE ARE GOING TO DISNEYLAND,UNIVERSAL,SEA WORLD, SAN DIEGO ZOO, AND THE SAN DIEGO AQUARIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait! Just was wondering if anyone else who looks at my blog had any recomendations on places to eat in California or things to do. We are definately going to go to Ruby's in Long Beach or Huntington beach but other than that I dont have a clue. The countdown has started my kids are so EXCITED!!

Trike

We took a bike ride down to see the ducks at the creek by our house. This was Mason's bike of choice. He also chose to wear his sister's purple bike helmet and bring a drink along. I sure do love this boy. He knows how to make me smile :)

Valentines

Kylie and I had some Girl Time on Valentines Day. She picked the papers and stamps. It was alot of fun and something we decided to do more often. We made a card of each of their grandma's.

How many straws do you need to get a drink?

This was so funny! Yes, it was a waste of straws, but very amusing to watch hime stand up and try to drink out of them.

CIRCUS

We went to the Jordan circus last month. It was my first circus that I have ever been to and I have to say for $16.00 for 5 of us to get in it wasn't bad.
The elephant ride cost more than the actual circus, but it was worth it for the smile on our kids faces. We drew the line at buying the kids a TOY and that was a huge meltdown, so we told them if we go again next year they have the option to choose either a toy or a ride.
I love getting out and doing fun things like this as a family.

SpRing FeVer!

I am ready for spring!! Tulips,jackets and short sleeved shirts. I hope it comes soon!!
