We LOVE our Cousins!

We had Sunday dinner in P.C. with our cousins.  It's always a pleasure to be with family!

T-Ball: Green Giants

Kate had a fun time playing T-ball this summer with the Green Giants.  She was the cutest one on her team, being the only girl!

(I realized I am a little too competitive even for t-ball)

Kate & her buddy Dominic with their trophy medals!

" I'm potty trained "

This big girl is finally potty trained!

(stickers, clapping & M&M's were her motivation) 

*** On the second day after she went to the bathroom, I said "good job Sagey!"  She then replied, "mom you're not clapping!"***

Aladdin at the Tuacahn

We spent the Fourth of July at the Tuacahn in St. George, watching the Aladdin play & having our own personal fireworks show (probably the best I've seen).  Aunt Shanda, Lacey & Uncle Evan joined us for the fun & festivities!

(Chandler wouldn't get 10 feet near the Genie, he was too scared)

Jackson Hole

We had an amazing trip at Jackson Hole with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Sarah & kids.

We saw several animals; buffalo, elk, moose, antelope, beaver...

Sarah & I took the kids to Yellowstone for a picnic & to see Old Faithful.





We celebrated Steve's 33rd BIRTHDAY while we were there; breakfast burritos in bed, shish kabobs for lunch, Bubba's BBQ for dinner, golfing & ice cream cake for dessert!

Happy BIRTHDAY Stevie!

(wildlife drives, swimming, tennis, Brave the movie, picnics, Yellowstone, yummy food)

FATHERS Day!

Happy Fathers Day...

 to the BEST dad in the world!

Our dad got a a mini fridge for his office, a bag of gummy bears, a new shirt & dried apricots.

We LOVE you dad!

Father & Sons

You know he had a GREAT time on the Father & Sons campout when; he came home with marshmallows in his hair, his face, hands & legs were filthy black & he crashed on his bed at 2 o'clock in the afternoon!

Chicago 2012

I joined Steve on his 3 day work trip to Chicago!  What a beautiful city with lots of history to see, do, eat & shop at.

I took the double decker bus/ trolley tours for 2 days & learned more than I could ever imagine (one with 14 stops & 2 with 4 stops each.)  I walked every morning to the Yolk for breakfast & then went to some shops ( Macy's, MAC, Disney, American Girl, Gap, Nordstrom) & tours.  Wednesday night I met up with Steve at Navy Pier for  dinner & the fireworks.  Afterwards, we rode the double decker bus home for the night light tour of the city... gorgeous! I had a wonderful time in the not -so -windy city. But, I wish Stevie could of joined me for more adventures & fun!

Last Day of School Party

We had a last day of school party with water activities, lunch & running wild with all the neighborhood kids!
