*HOLY CRAP!*

Don't let this cute little face, just waking up, deceive you...look a little closer....
I have more "graphic" pictures but I thought I would spare you...I have NEVER seen a blow out like this. I have seen my share but this one put those all to shame. His WHOLE body was covered...the WHOLE bed and both blankets, COVERED! NASTY! I had to rinse him in the bath THREE times before I could totally wash him with clean water.....SICK!

But really...look at him! How could you ever be mad at this:


*Learning*

Hunter has been wanting to learn how to ride his bike with out training wheels for a while now but Chris hasn't had much time to do it. I tried a couple of times but I get anxiety as soon as I have to let go and just can't...I'm pathetic, I know:) Anyway, when the time finally came he was scared to death to do it on the cement and thought it would be best if he tried it out on the grass. Chris went with it because that's what Hunter seemed to be comfortable with. He did GREAT and rode across the lawn several times but as soon as he fell he got so frustrated that he stopped and said he would "try again tomorrow" Man I love this kid:)


*The Park*

The kids, Aunt Jess, and I met Aunt Donna at Canyon View Park to have a picnic and let the kids play. We LOVE having them so close to us so we can hang out all the time:) The kids get along SOOO well...I love it:)






*The Farm*

We love when Uncle Kelly asks us to go feed the cows and horses.
It is so beautiful and peaceful down there.




*Sprinklers*

I love when the kids can play out in the water and so do they. It takes Skyla a little getting used to the water but Hunter is all about it:)





*Can't Get ENOUGH!*

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BOY!
He is at the stage right now where he is ALWAYS happy and I seriously can not get enough!:) I LOVE HIM!:)

*Wolf Creek*

For my Birthday Chris surprised me and told me that we were going to Wolf Creek for a little family get a way. His parents own a time share and had extra points so it didn't cost us a lot. This place was GORGEOUS. You had to go through Ogden to get there and it was just little town. The Resort was perfection. We had three bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room with a fireplace, and a kitchen. Cory and Elisha's family joined us and we had the best time!

Little Skyla was SUCH a trooper. Just the day before she was at the hospital getting x rays and all sorts of things done to her. She was soooo sick. Her temperature got up to 104.5 it was really scary. It turns out she had Bronchitis and Pneumonia. They put her on antibiotics and told us that she wasn't contagious and she could still make the trip. I have to say, when my kids are sick it is the saddest thing ever! They are still so sweet and nice and try to be happy. This picture proves it:)

This was the first day. We got up there mid afternoon and checked in, then we went looking for some yummy food. We found this cute little mom and pop sandwich shop. It was SOO good. We pretty much the only ones in there and the owners loved the kids and kept giving them free things...including the ice cream...so nice! After that we went and got our swimsuits on and headed for the pool. It was HUGE and so nice, it even had a slide. The water was really warm and the kids LOVED it.










This is the kids waiting for Uncle Cory and Aunt Elisha to come.

Skyla still didn't feel very good. Poor girl.

It was our 10 year anniversary the last night we were there and Elisha made us the most amazing dinner EVER! We had steak, shrimp, salmon, twice baked potatoes, salad, and garlic bread...it. was. heaven,
She also bought the most amazing ice cream cake that I have ever tasted! The four of us finished up in no time:) (and we all gained weight from it:)
This was seriously the funnest trip ever. It was so laid back yet we could do whatever we wanted. The boys loved playing basketball and we loved playing tennis while the kids played in the sand. So much fun, we're hoping this can be an annual thing:)

*The Zoo*

After Hunter's Graduation we went to the Zoo... we had SUCH A BLAST!:)

They have all of these real looking dinosaurs around the park that rar and spit water and all that jazz and Skyla was TERRIFIED. She stayed as close as she could get to Grandma the whole time. It was hilarious:)









The WHOLE way there Skyla just wanted to see the Elephants...she was SO excited to see them, we stayed there for quiet a while.









Skyla was HILARIOUS with the giraffes. She was on Grandpa's shoulders and there was another family there with their small kids. Skyla kept pointing to the giraffes and in this awesome, growly voice she would say "EWE THAT'S DISGUSTING!" over and over again. The family next to us was laughing so hard. I'm still not totally sure what she was talking about but I'm thinking it was all the poop on the floor. I love this girl:)
