September 2015

September was a fun busy month here is a quick photo summary.
Cason is obsessed with football lately. He loves to play it, watch it, talk about it... Here is Dan and him playing catch at the park on a Sunday afternoon. 


Snow cones and swinging at a fun new park for FHE. 


We tried out a place in Toquerville that is famous for their cinnamon rolls. It is a tiny little place but you sit outside on the edge of a huge cliff overlooking Confluence park. Not very kid friendly but at least we can mark it off of our to-do list. Oh and the girls are obsessed with their daddy! He's the best. 

Cason taking the wheel on a Jeep adventure while Kami and Ellie slept in the backseat.

My parent's have flood irrigation every two weeks and they have a little retention pond that fills up in front of their house, perfect for kayaking! The kids look happy in the picture but they were actually both super grumpy the whole time we were there so we didn't stay very long haha. 

On this day the girls and I left to go pick up Cason from school, we live super close so we walked as always and on our way home it started to pour. A little warm rain never hurt anyone! 

Ellie continues to be a mover. She pulled herself up (a new trick of hers) on one of the toy baskets and flipped right in. I can't look at this picture and not laugh. Does it make me a bad mom that I stopped to take a picture before I pulled her out?

Ellie and I made a quick weekend trip to Northern California with all my siblings and my parents for the weekend. It was soooo much fun and Ellie was a fun little travel companion. We flew into Oakland and drove up the Mendocino Coast (I think that's what it's called) and stayed at the little Vegan resort which turned out to be really cool. Dan was nice enough to stay home with Cason and Kami so I could have a much needed getaway. 

Ellie didn't sleep so good the first night and we were sharing a room with all of my sisters so as soon and the sun came up Ellie and I went exploring so they could sleep in. It was a little chilly and very beautiful! 

We rented an outrigger canoe and paddled up the river for a couple of hours. Ellie stayed with my dad and cried the whole time but I was blissfully enjoying the beautiful scenery with no cell phone service. I felt pretty bad when I got back but it was really fun while we were out. We saw seals and otters swimming up the river. 

We ate LOTS of really great food on the trip. We stopped at this little restaurant for dessert. It was located on a cliff overlooking the ocean and the sun was setting so we asked them to bring it to us out in the garden area. It was magical! 

We drove through a redwood forest. My first time. 

Did mention the food was really good yet? I have the greatest family. It is really fun to be together without all the kids sometimes so we actually get to talk... or should I say laugh? I think we laughed all weekend long. 

In the picture Cason and I were lucky enough to go to Tuacahn with my mom. We saw "When You Wish" which was compilation of a bunch of different Disney songs. It was amazing. I could have cried watching Cason watch it all. He was completely mesmerized and so excited about everything. It was so much fun. 

Kami continues to be the cutest little girl of all time. We sure love her fun personality. 
And there you have it, a few of my favorite parts of September.

February 2017

February refused to slow down for us. The kids also refused to slow down for us. I sure do love these busy days with our little family.  Unfortunately, Ellie figured out how to climb out of her crib and decided that climbing out and playing with toys is much more fun than napping. So, she is done with naps, which makes this tired, pregnant mom very sad. When I put her down for naps this is usually what I find when I go back into her room. She keeps me busy! As you can see from the picture, the kids (I think it might have just been Ellie and Kami that did the damage) decided to pull ALL of the books out of the cabinet. They love to look at books, which I love. They usually just get the books out that they want to read, but this day was obviously different. Luckily, it is an easy cleanup.  Dan turned 32 this month! We had my parents over for mint brownies and ice cream to celebrate. He had to take the youth snow tubing up at Brian Head on his birthday so we didn'...

December 2016

Once again, I have fallen behind in posting our monthly journals but here is a quick picture recap of December (at least what I can remember of it).  Kami had her dance recital at the Festival of the Trees here in Hurricane. I could have died from all of her cuteness. She did great!  In early December the girls and I took a quick trip with my parents to Monterrey to visit Amy's family (evidently I didn't take any pictures while we were there haha) while Dan and Cason stayed home because of work and school.  It was a really fun trip for us girls. I always love a chance to be around my sisters and to let our kids play with their cousins. It was also a good excuse for Dan and Cason to have a boys weekend. In this picture Cason is helping Dan rake the leaves at the house of a widow he home teaches.  They also raked a lot of leaves at our house! Dan is a such a good dad and take every opportunity to teach our kids to serve others and to work hard. Al...
