Girls get away ST. George and Las Vegas

This past weekend we took a mini vacation to St.George and Vegas. We had such a GREAT time doing a whole lotta nothing and everything! We have been planning it for awhile but it ended up being just the three of us, the rest of the clan could not make this trip. Haley, Kim and I did a lot of laying by the pool, shopping, eating, movies, and just relaxing. We went to Vegas on Saturday and met up with Rory and had such a fun day. We shopped hit Cheesecake of course, played at the pool at Mandalay Bay, shopped some more and stopped by Serendipity for frozen hot chocolate and lots of food then topped the night off by watching the water show at the Balagio. That is still probably one of my favorite shows in Vegas. I LOVE IT!!




Kim, Haley, Rory and I...


Haley was so EXCITED to see that they got a Serendipity there. She has been to the one in New York and LOVED it. She loved it even more when she saw they had peanut butter frozen hot chocolate!


Some of my wolf pack!! hehe

So I must say this Batman and Robin sucked, but we had to get a pic!

Can not wait to get back. Especially cause the weather was so nice there and it did nothing but rain here and still is! Thanks girls for such a great weekend. Counting down to the next one and for the rest of my girls to go!!

DAKODA GRADUATES!!!

Dakoda had his preschool graduation on May 28th. He has LOVED school. He is so excited to start kindergarten. I on the other hand am a little sad that he is this big. To think that more than likely he is the last and that I will never have these little moments again is kinda sad. But on the other hand I am LOVING where I am at in life. GOOD JOB BUDDY!!! WE LOVE YA!!

WOW!! I caught a pic of Clint smiling.. He was trying to be funny! This is Koda and his friend Gracie!

HAPPY "10" BIRTHDAY COLT!!

Can't believe that I am at this point in my life! Having a kid with double digits that is. Colt is such a great kid I feel so blessed to call him mine!! He is still really into anything to do with army, military etc... he can name any plane, ship, gun,bullet, and tell you about different wars and war heroes. Its crazy, but I have explained to him that its just not happening! Really I am not to worried because last night his little brother pulled a tooth out and the blood made Colt sick! haha.
He is so great with his little brothers and is definitely a peacemaker. He stands up for what he knows is right and has no problem telling someone other wise. He gets along really well with others and is a friend to everyone!!

Dont ask me what this picture is I just found it and I am LAUGHING!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

ZOO DAY

My sis Haley told Colt she would take him too the Zoo for his bday so we decided to all tag along with! It was a great day for the Zoo not too hot or cold. And what more can I say about the zoo...hmm.....

PARTY..PARTY..PARTY

We had the weekend of festivities! Gage had all his little friends over on Saturday and let me tell you I thought my 3 boys were loud, add 12 more to the mix! The girls were not so hot on the noise but they all had so much FUN. I soon realized all the games you plan they do not care about they just want to run around and have fun! I really want my basement finished but I am sooo glad its not right now cause we kept the mess down there. So nice!

Then we had all Clint's family and mine over for some more partying.

My grandma, Anj and Haley

Bostyn is getting so big and usually tries to be the center of attention. Give the girl some music, a pig and balloons and she is good to go!

A big THANK YOU to all of our FABULOUS family and friends!!

Happy 8th Birthday Gage!

Happy Birthday! I love this little guy so much! I can not believe that he is 8. Time for sure goes by in the blink of an eye. It is so much FUN and bittersweet at the same time cause every year that goes by you know you ll never get back. He is the clown of the family and is always coming up with a random line to throw at you that will have you laughing. He is a friend to everyone. He is for sure strong willed and once he has his mind set on something that's it! At the age of 8 these are a few things about Gage:

Favorite color-Yellow and Green
Place to eat-Tepenyaki
Favorite place to go-Toys r us
Thing to do at school-talk and hang with his friends
Favorite vacation-DISNEYLAND
TV show-Sponge bob
Favorite movie-Monsters vs. Aliens
Favorite Book-Giraffes don't dance
Favorite song-Wanted dead or alive-Bon Jovi
If he could have one wish what would it be-That he could live at Disneyland with his cousin Cody!

This is still my FAVORITE Halloween costume! He did such a good job at staying in character as Kip!

We LOVE you lots!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAKODA

I can not believe this little guy is 5!!! Dakoda is such a great kid....

*He loves to eat ANYTHING. He will at least try anything.
*He loves to play with his brothers. While they are at school he is always asking when will they be home??
*He is really into power rangers right now.
*When he grows up he wants to be a huntin boy. Those are his exact words!
*He loves to pester Gage. He knows just how to push his buttons.
*He loves sleep overs at grandmas and Papas.
*He loves to take HOT bubble baths!!!

Koda has been so excited and has been counting down from about day 20! He has had more like a Birth week than a Birthday. Earlier this week we took the kids to see the lights. The kids love to do this. Then we hit Tepenyaki a few nights later. This is the kids favorite place to eat and Koda was so excited to finally catch the shrimp in his mouth! Him and our cook had quite the conversation going on. It was funny because neither one could understand each other! Then Dakoda pretended to be the cook!

Tepenyaki

We threw together a last minute get together with some of his friends at the bowling alley! They were all so good and had so much fun. It is so funny to listen to little 5 year old conversations. He LOVES to play with these guys and was so excited they could come.

This is Gage a little jelous because Koda got some skates!

He has had such a fun day and all he keeps saying is that it is the BEST DAY EVER!!
and a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to HALEY and BOSTYN! Haleys is the same day as Kodas and Bostyns is 2 days later! We LOVE you guys and hope you have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!

I just want to tell my parents Happy Birthday. There birthdays are only 4 days apart. You truly are both amazing people. They are the best friends, parents, sister, brother, mother, father, grandma and Papa you could ask for. Thanks for all you do for us. They are both there for any one at any time any where! WE LOVE YOU!

I threw in some older pics of them...

My mom grew up on horses and was really really good!

Happy Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday! So for my big 30 I spent the day in bed cause I just had a bone graph done on my mouth. For Clint's big 32 I spent the day in bed for the exact same thing and so Clint's day was pretty much sunk. His Mom and Dad had everyone over to their house for a barbecue so a big thanks to them! Clint you are the most amazing dad, husband and friend!!! Thanks for all that you do! I was trying to find some better pictures of Clint (like his Joe dirt pics) but they are on the other computer, and it is having issues, he is probably really relieved right now!
Happy Birthday, Love you LOTS!
