Where did the summer go?

I cant believe we are back to the grind and starting school already.
My kids have done a lot this summer most of it has been a "STAYCATION"
thats where you vacation from your own home and try to hit all the local things you don't normally do. Here are the kids at the fair. Dont you just love the fair. 110 degrees, dust flying, weird people, and crazy rides that end in throwing up in the nearby trash can. (Brynli you know what im talking about) but we usually try to support the local wards and have a navajo taco. (Way to go Lav 4th) they are always so yummy! This is Ashia with ansley, I usually have to fight to get to hold my own daughter, Ashia is so good with her!

Here are all the crazy kids! after their fun rides!

Here is the girls at PIRATE ISLAND PIZZA- Last monday we took all the girls to
ANNIE and went to dinner before hand- if you havent been there it is really cool for kids. The decorations are awesome- the food is pretty good, but its just worth going for the atmosphere!

Annie was really good too! I love the Dixie Direct! it has been our constant companion this year! everywhere we have eaten and most of our activities have been used from the dixie direct, it has saved us so much money! we got annie tickets 50% off! and last Friday Trevor and I went to see "Annie get your Gun" at the st. george musical theater- It was so good! you guys all missed out if you didnt see it! we also got that show-buy one ticket get the other free! So it was a pretty cheap date night!

Here is a picture that was taken a couple weeks ago- we hiked the narrows with the Rowland family! it was a lot of fun, but I was so glad that I only brought Ashia and Ashlyn with us- It was really rocky and I sprained my ankle once! but it was so beautiful. It was cold and the water was up to our chest in some areas but it was worth the hike! what a fun day! I can't wait to try some more hikes! Sorry Ive been such a slacker in my blogging , for some reason I just want to read everyone elses and not post anything! Ive got to get me a better camera- Im using ashias Polaroid- and it is horrible. But anything is better than nothing i guess!

GOING TO VEGAS

Do you ever have that feeling like your going to explode if you don't
get to get out of the house once in awhile! Well that is how i have been feeling lately besides the fact of being sick this last 2 weeks (IMAGINE THAT) me and my sisters decided to head to vegas on a whim! and it was so much fun! We got a free stay at the new palazzo & Free tickets to Lion king- What more could you ask for! - It was so very nice! thanks meg!

Here is the waterfall that is by all the shopping!

Here is a picture of what our bathroom looked like-
I really hope i can be good enough on earth to have a mansion that
looks like this in heaven!

Here is our suite- it was a two bed suite and had its own living room - it had 3 tvs and was so very nice!
We went school clothes shopping! and we got to go to the broadway version of the
"LION KING" it was so fun- and the costumes are so awesome! the tickets are pricey but if you saved up it is definitely worth taking the kids to! $58-130.00 a ticket!
all in all it was so much fun! I love being with my sisters- they are so much fun and we have a blast together and get along great! We always have our inside jokes and just have a good time! Thanks girls for the wild trip! (Peanut butter!) We always have so much fun just people watching! Its free and its the best entertainment ever! Especially in Vegas! People are Hilarious! In one store that we went shopping in one girl asked if we were from UTAH- and we said yes! but we were wondering how she knew we were from utah, were we dressed a little too modest- did we look a little bit too much like each other! Did we look like cousin had married cousin! I guess we will never know! it was a lot of fun and I cant wait until the next time!
I need something to look forward to something! HINT HINT TREVOR!

BROKEN CAMERA & $15.00 Bug sprays!

So i havent wanted to blog because i have been upset by my camera being broken!
It was in the baby bag and had milk from a bottle spilt on it and it is totally ruined!
So I just cant bring myself to blog with a broken camera! I need to post pictures to blog about
so this will just have to do- I will use my daughters little camera until mine can get replaced!


By the way for all of you money savers out there my husband is in the Landscaping (so great to be in in this area) &

He is just going to school full time and is trying to get a small clientele to get him through school.

Once crazy weekend!

Last weekend we went to ogden, and went to our neice brittanys wedding!
It is so nice to go to a wedding at the saltlake city temple- so special and so good! They actually had 44 weddings the same day! can you believe it- thats a lot of kids getting married at the right time in the right place!

This is me and trev! We hardly ever get our pictures taken

This is the family in front of the temple

Here is all the cute girls- Notice the cute dresses! they all match!

We had a great weekend and our family has been reading the scriptures and we made a goal that if we read for 60 nights straight we would do something fun! So we went ICE SKating! It was a blast and I didnt even fall down! We are almost done with our second set of 60 days so I guess our next adventure will be Pirate Island Pizza- Its what the kids pick- some nights its 11:00 pm and the kids will come in and say we forgot scriptures and we will all be dead tired but they make us read them- Even if I have to bribe them to read them! - Maybe just maybe they are getting something out of it! We need all the blessings we can get!

I think im in love

This is my one true love! ROAD RACING! Trevor took me down last year and had me
get fitted for a new bike! They actually measure you and see which size a bike
that you should be riding- The perfect fit! I wanted to get into road biking a lot more but the bikes are very expensive, Well trevor surprised me last christmas with this bike! And i think that I am in love! It is so light and nice! I love going biking, last week I rode out to sandhollow from my house and back. It is a very good ride! Lots of hills to climb. I just feel so free when im riding! Plus I don't huff and puff so much on this guy! and it just so happens that RED is my favorite color! Maybe my husband has been listening once in a while! WHO knew!

BLankets ON the Lawn!!!!!!

THIS IS NOT PUDDING!!!!!!!
This is what my daughter looked like this morning when I found her in her crib, and the blankets and the walls.
Yea I know it has been one of those weeks- First of all 4 of my kids have had the flu. SO not fun, especially at 3 in the morning when one comes in and says MOM i threw up all over the floor, and another throws up a RED, I repeat RED icee from maverick all over my tan carpet. And then my baby this morning. OHHHHHHHHHHH,
We had just put her bed back together from the throw up incident, cribs can get so messy, so about 9:30 this morning we found her in her bed, It was the saddest thing ever, She had poop on her face, her hair, down her legs, all over her blankets, the cribs and wall, Her eyelids were caked, she even had poop on her pacifier(on the inside of the pacifier i might add) She had slept in it all night long. We never heard her cry once. The funny thing is , is that she was still wearing her diaper and only one side was attached. (OF COARSE, TREV HAD PUT HER TO BED and changed her diaper. .... ) and the diaper was clean as a whistle. We had to scrub her for an hour, which she hated and I hated more. Gagging, and gagging, We just threw her pacifer and bottle away. and sprayed off the blankets on the lawn. So if you are ever doing a drive by, and see blankets on the lawn. you know Ive had a bad night. Im sure my neighbors are tired of seeing my blankets on the lawn. This week it has been about 4 out of 7 nights that blankets have been on the lawn. IF my kids ever say that I dont' love them, I will repeat this story over and over! I hope this week is better!!!!!!

a little bit better

I just love these! They inspire me everyday to do just a little bit better! It only
takes a second to watch!
