Family Fun at Black Island Farm!

Hay stack slides, cow trains, hay rides, pumpkin walk, kid mazes and a chili cook-off! Doesn't get much better!

"E" is for Elephant!

Kalli is LOVING preschool! For the letter "E" they made elephant ears and trunks.

This is "Harry the Hippo" for the letter "H."

Kalli made a house with a straw as a water spout for the Itsy Bitsy spider to climb up. How clever! Isn't preschool the best!

Kalli's first day of school

Kalli on her first day of school. She was so excited!

I didn't realize how emotional the first day of school can be. I cried when I dropped her off, cried when I got home and cried again when I picked her up. My little girl is growing up so FAST. Ugh! Why do kids have to grow up so fast?

I cherish these moments.

Blake, Kamden and I
cheered on our little
Kalli from the stands
as she danced in her
first dance recital.
She has had so much
fun and has made so
many new friends.

Afterwards,
Blake & I
took the kids to the
Clearfield Aquatic
Center for swimming
and pizza. I had such
a fun time hanging out
with my little family.
I love being a mother
and cherish the time I
get to spend with my
children. I love my
family so MUCH! xoxo!

sand dunes

The sand dunes at St. Anthony. We had a fun weekend trip to the sand dunes with the Whitney's, Galer's, Archileda's, Perry's and Conroy family.

Playing in the lake and looking for sea shells.

Blake brought some pallets for firewood. We thought they would make a good picture.

Group shot's of everyone around the campfire. Heather introduced us to a new way of making the s'more. Vanilla and chocolate marshmallow's, Reese's Peanut Butter cup's and graham cracker. It was delicious!! So long Hershey bars.

Kalli getting ready for a ranger ride! Gotta love the goggles.

Kylee and Heather with the kids.

Cute Maddie and Tessa.

How many men does it take to fix a belt on the ranger? 4-5! My first experience driving the ranger up a sand hill turned out VERY bad. I got the ranger stuck and completely shredded the belt. Oops! Sorry, Honey. xoxo.

Our shredded belt. Nice. Good thing Klint brought an extra belt. Thanks Klint.

This is how Kamden's face looked almost the entire trip. He was always covered in dirt. He's all boy!

Riding the rangers and 4-wheelers in the sand.

Blake looking pretty damn HOT in his riding gear. What a fun trip (minus getting stuck in the sand on top of a hill). 'Til next time.....

Having fun with PB & J

Las Vegas

The Swimming pool at our condo. We spent a lot of time here.

The kids had fun playing in the pool. They loved these "noodles."

A view of Vegas from on top of the Stratosphere. I'm afraid of heights, so as soon as I got up there, I started to get really nausea. We did the Big Shot and I was so afraid that I was going to throw up everywhere. Don't worry, I didn't. Blake thought it was hilarious.

In front of the Lion Den. In case you can't tell, there is a huge lion in the background. He pretty much slept the entire time. The kids weren't very interested.

My sister. My shopping Buddy!

The fish aquarium at Caesar's Palace.

Kalli and Kamden in front of the fish aquarium.

Kalli watching the fish.

The water show in front of the Bellagio.

The erupting volcano at the Mirage!

We went and saw the Treasure Island show. Basically, these skimpy, bikini clad girl's would dance provactively around and their "amazing" dancing skills would destroy/sink the pirates ship. Seriously?!? Whatever happened to pirates fighting pirates?

Happy Anniversary to us! We celebrated 7 years!
