Sister Love

I guess if you grew up praying for a sister and never got one, the next best thing is to have three girls. I tell them everyday how lucky they are to have a sister.

Growing Too Fast!

I just love this little butter-ball. She is already crawling, pulling herself up, has a tooth, and prefers her mama. Oh ya. She doesn't have a favorite blanket or stuffed animal, but she does love to hold and carry Braedon's hacky-sack everywhere she goes. Does this mean we have a future hippy on our hands?

Summer Days Are Gone! :(

So, I had a crazy busy summer training in L&D and kind of lost touch with the blogosphere. So, here is a quick update on what my kids term as their "most boring summer ever."

A week down south with my family. We started with the Drake Family Reunion, it was great to see everyone. From there we went to Brian Head, the sand dunes, a trip to the top of the world, went off-roading for deer (didn't know I was a red-neck), and enjoyed the stars and a red moon (no not the out-house). We did spend a day at "the property" where there is an out-house with a red-moon. It was fun to see my kids enjoying doing the things I did as a kid. I think I had more fun searching for a horned toad for them than they did. We went by my great-grandfather's home where my dad spent most of his summer's growing up, must have been heaven. Then it was on to St. George where we went to Footloose at Tuacahn--it was great. I can't wait to go again.

A fun-filled weekend with Justin's family in St. George. Traditionally there was Adult Bingo. It sounds worse than it is, the kids supervise and Justin even walked away sporting some sexy red long-johns. There was Fear Factor, lots of pool time, and food, food, food.

We had a fun day at the zoo. Can't you see the excitement on the teenagers face. Grrrrrr. Teenagers!!

We spent the day at the lake with the kids. The water was frrrrreeeezing, but that didn't stop our little penguin from jumping in. You can see the after picture, I think she is in shock.

For our 16th Anniversary, Justin surprised me and swept me away to Zermatt. It was just what I needed: peace and quiet, not to mention a beautiful view.
