October

This October we were able to take a fun trip to St. George with Joels brother and sister and her family. We went biking and swimming at Sand Hollow. It's amazing that you can go down to St. George at the end of October and enjoy such warm weather and go to the lake. We love our trips to warm weather. Can't wait to go again soon!!





We also celebrated Kaleb's 7th birthday on the 24th. I can't believe how fast Kaleb is growing up. He'll be baptized in less than a year!! We love having Kaleb in our family. He loves to draw, read, play with friends, build with his legos and occasionally you can catch him doing some sweet dance moves. He is such a great older brother. He really watches out for his baby sister. He recently learned how to ride his bike on 2 wheels, which is way exciting! We hope to do more riding when the weather warms up. We love you so much Kaleb. Thanks for being such a fun and awesome brother and son.




For Halloween this year, we had some of my family over for a Halloween party. We had some fun foods and played games and carved pumpkins. We went trick or treating with our neighbors and enjoyed spending time with them.

10 Years BABY!!!

So this September, Joel and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. I can't believe it's been 10 years already. Kind of crazy. We were able to take a trip to Lake Tahoe and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery. We stayed at a beautiful condo on the top of the mountain. We brought along our bikes and rode to the beach and relaxed. We went on a boat ride to Emerald Bay. The water at Lake Tahoe is amazingly clear. So beautiful. I think this time of year was great because it wasn't crowded at all. I can see how the summer would be very busy. We drove around the lake and saw some beautiful homes and sailboats and amazing views. It was a very relaxing trip which was wonderful. I'm so grateful to have spent the last 10 years with my best friend. We have come a long way with raising 3 children. Joel is such a wonderful father and husband. Thanks hunny for the last 10 years. They've been amazing. I love you so much. Here's to 50 more!!

2011 Summer fun!

So It's been waaayyy too long since I've updated our blog. So I'm going to quickly cover a few months at a time. This summer we were able to meet Joels' sister and her hubby in Blanding, Utah for the 4th of July. First time for us. We camped out and went swimming at the lake nearby then drove high up the mountain to find a cooler camping spot. We brought along our rhino for some fun. We really tested out the rhino on some crazy rides, where we stalled in the middle of a jungle. Seriously, it was kind of scary. But thankfully we were able to give the rhino some time and it decided to start so we could head back to camp. We were able to enjoy a beautiful view of Blanding city's fire works. So close in fact, the ashes were falling on top of us. I ended up in the car with the kids, cuz we were scared. It was a pretty adventurous trip to Blanding, 2 flat tires on the way down, poopy diapers, lots of bugs on our rides. But it was all worth it.

The Jungle we got stranded in.

Many times this summer we were able to pull out the slip n slide. The kids and neighbors all enjoyed this fun activity. We even had people stop by to see if they could borrow it. Strangers! It made for some fun neighbor activities.



I also took the kids this summer to Liberty Park to play in the water. This is the first time I've been to Liberty park since I was a kid. It sure has changed a lot. The kids had such a blast. And the best part was it was free!! I highly recommend doing this activity with your kids. They have streams and waterfalls for them to play in.

Tayler loved the water.
