Santaquin Canyon

A couple of weeks ago we had the chance to just hang out with Cory and Elisha and their family. We had a yummy dinner, went to Kaulin's Baseball game and then headed up Santaquin Canyon to have smores. It was so much fun!

Our 9th Anniversary

This year we had a pretty lame anniversary. Don't get me wrong it didn't suck, it just wasn't the same as past years. Chris was in school ALL day but came home with beautiful flowers and I had made his favorite dinner. We had planned on "celebrating" on Saturday night but that didn't quiet work out. Chris was going to take Hunter to Fathers and sons with Cory and Kaulin but once Chris went to pick them up they had a brilliant idea to go to the cabin, which usually would be just fine the beginning of June, but Oh wait, the weather has been retarded this year so they were just hoping they could get in. They didn't have any problems on the way up and drove right in but the next morning when they went to leave they got stuck...not just a little stuck, like BIG stuck. Anyway, to make a long story short my mom and I ended up going to Los Hermanos for dinner while the boys finally made it home after being stuck for 9 hours! Once Chris got all cleaned up we went to Pizza Factory where Chris got dinner and I got a delicious dessert. Then we went to Fresh Values to get milk and came home. And that was our anniversary! All I know is that we better do something awesome for our 10th! I should start saving up for a cruise;)

Dance Recital

A couple of weeks ago I got to watch Savannah, Brooklyn, and Rees. We had a good time just hanging out. Jen came and picked them up around 4:00 to go get ready for the dance recital.

I couldn't resist putting this picture in...this poor little girl was so sad, her mom finally came and got her off the stage. It was so cute!

And here are some pictures of Savannah and Brooklyn.

They did such a great job and I was glad I was able to go!

St.George

We went on a random last minute trip to St. George over Memorial Day Weekend. Cory and Elisha literally called us on their way and said "Hey you guys want to come?" Heck yes we want to come! We ended up staying in one of the homes that Chris' parents own that happened to be vacant.(lucky us:) We had such a good time.

This is Elisha doing Skyla's hair like Sadie's for church. It looked sooo cute!

Chris did a little homework.

The kids played with the pig out back.

I know these pictures are super random but I haven't gotten mine from Elisha yet so they will have to do.

Friday we drove down and stopped by our favorite pizza place "Hungry Howie's" and met Cory, Elisha and the kids at the park for dinner. Then we went to the house and got settled in for the night.

Saturday Elisha and I did some shopping while the boys took the kids to McDonald's and Red Cliffs. When we came home we headed to a BBQ joint that was very disappointing and we paid a butt load! Then we went home and the the girls put the kids to bed and we watched "Dear John" (Lamest movie ever) and the boys went to Iron Man 2.

Sunday we hung out and got ready for church. Cory and Elisha only made it through the sacrament and left. We barely made it through the rest. It was so good to be in our ward again. We got to visit with a lot of old friends but we also missed to talking to a lot of them too. We came home and got ready to head to Uncle Bruce and Aunt Vanessa's for a delicious BBQ. They treated us like royalty...it was so good. Then we came home, put the kids to bed and learned how to play "Rook" it was actually a really fun game (especially since me and Elisha won;)

Monday Elisha and I went back to a couple of stores and then came home to finish packing up. Chris' Dad had flown into Texas so we were able to go to lunch with him at Pancho's and Lefty's. It was so wonderful to see him, we miss him and Mom so much! Then we dropped him off at Uncle Bruce's and were on our way home.

It was such a great weekend...thanks again for inviting us guys!

Hunter's 4th Birthday!

Hunter's Birthday was on a Friday this year. Chris had to go to school all day so we decided to have his party on Saturday...Don't worry though we still celebrated on Friday. We got to watch Kaylee while Jake was in the hospital in Roosevelt. We loved having her with us. This is the kids playing and Hunter opening a present that Skyla got for him. It was a Thomas the Train puzzle. He was way excited.

Later when Chris and Grandma got home we opened up more presents. Grandma got Hunter a scripture bag....he was so happy. (it clearly shows in the picture) After that Hunter took Grandma on a date to McDonald's and then Chris took him to "How to Train a Dragon"

He also got a Batman costume and a leap frog thingie.

Grandma and Grandpa sent him a check so he could get what he really wanted for his birthday and this is him holding it up, showing the signature on the back (an H)

And him holding his cash. He is waiting to go shopping with it until Grandma and Grandpa can go with him to pick something out.

This was Hunter's Birthday invitation:

We had such a good time at Hunter's Batman Party. The main thing we did was a Batman Training Course. They had to jump through 4 tires, go through the Caterpillar, knock down 3 of Batman's enemies, Hulahoop, and then do the limbo through the finish line.

Skyla in training.

Hunter knocking down the bad guys.

Even some of the guys qualified. Go Sean!:)

Hunter opening presents.

Everybody seemed to go with the "Car" theme. He got a lot of fun things.

Hunter hugging everyone and telling everyone thank you.

This is a mat that Tori made for Hunter that must have taken FOREVER! She made it totally personable to Hunter, she even has a sign to St. George on it. We absolutely LOVE it!

Hunter's Batman Cake! I think it turned out pretty cute!:)

Happy Birthday Choncho Moncho! I can't believe you are already 4....where has the time gone! We love you more than you will ever know!

We love it here!

We have had four little visitors in our backyard off and on for the last 5 months and we LOVE it!There are three adults and one "toddler:)" They just hang out until we accidentally scare them away. How fun is it to live in a place where wake up to deer, pheasants, and horses...So Fun!

We love living here!

My Birthday

This is a text I got on my Birthday from my awesome sis in law that sums it up perfectly:

Happy Birthday!

One year older and wiser too...Yeah, that is such a lie, I would rather stay young and dumb!:)

I really did have such a fun Birthday this year. The day was pretty routine, Chris at school, take care of kids, you know the drill, but that night we invited our family to the park to just hang out. We got some KFC and Donuts and just played. It was very relaxing and a lot of fun to be with our awesome family!

My little Skyla is one tough cookie. Tom had just given Hunter an Underdog, so he was flying and Skyla walked right out in front of him and

BAM!!!

she got knocked down so hard, face first. I was nervous that she would have been pretty banged up but she just cried for a minute and then continued to play.

Chris got me a new point and shoot camera (that I ended up taking back so now I get to use the money to go shopping:) Skyla got me a camera bag and Hunter picked out the most beautiful flowers. Chris also made my very favorite cake (BTSC)

Mother's Day

I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day this year. Chris took me out the night before to

Smokehouse Pizza and BBQ, it was DELICIOUS! After that we went shopping. He bought me two pairs of really comfy sandals and a ceiling fan for our room. It was fun to just hang out with my man! I love him so much and I have really missed being with him.

On Sunday we got up and played card games and got ready for church. The kids were really good at church and Hunter made me a beautiful paper flower (you can kind of see it in the picture) Then we came home and had a yummy dinner and then went in the backyard and blew bubbles. What a fun day to spend with my cute little family!

I love you guys so much!

Bonks, Books, and Bubbles

Wow...it's been a while since I blogged! Here are a few random things that have been going on: Skyla got a new Tinkerbelle nightgown complete with headband and slippers. She LOVES her new PJs and she looks so cute in them!

You can tell little Lala is going to be turning two soon! She is SOOO accident prone all of the sudden from shutting her fingers in the door, running into things and tripping. This particular incident, she was standing on a chair and started rocking it and fell face first, it knocked the wind out of her and gave her this nice little owie on her eye.
