Kolob fishing for the day!

We all decided to go up and go fishing on Saturday.  It was our family, Josh's family, and my mom and Jacob's parents.  We also thought we would try out Jacob, and Josh's new boat too.  

Kolob is so pretty!  This was a meadow on the way to the reservoir, I just had to take a picture!   

As soon as we got there, Amiah was the first...and only one who caught a fish!  Good Job you mighty fisherman girl!  

Such a proud girl!

Gabi and Jeremiah getting a closer look at the fish.

Little Talia trapped in her toy!

Here's Gabi all ready to go on the boat!

Jeremiah wanted to go on the boat...he just didn't like the life jacket, so he didn't go after all.  Poor guy...he was so mad!

Check out our cool boat...HA HA!!!  Here's a picture of the 4 who tested out the boat.  It was hilarious, the boat looked like a low rider out on the water.  But hey, it floats!  

It was nice to get away for the day, even if Amiah was the only one who caught a fish.  We enjoyed the cooler weather and beautiful scenery!

Amiah's 3rd lost Tooth!

Amiah lost her 3rd tooth!  She lost it at school, and got a cool tooth necklace to keep it safe for her.  She was so excited when she got off the bus to show me!  She's getting so big...and loosing all her teeth!

It's a Girl!

We had an ultrasound done today, and it say's we are expecting a girl!  I am still in shock, I for sure thought it was a boy.  I think I need a second opinion, cause I just don't believe it!

Jeremiah's Sheep!

Jeremiah loves to eat broccoli, so we thought we would try some steamed cauliflower too with him.  Well, it didn't go exactly how we planned.  He picked it up and said, "Look Mom, and sheep!"  Then he makes the Baaaaa sound, it was so funny!  We sure do get a kick out of this kid!  He is always making up laugh!  

He never would eat his "sheep", but he loved his broccoli!  

Perkin's Elementary May Day Dance!

The kids did really good this year at the May Day Dance.  Aiden was so cute dancing the macarena to an alphabet song!  He looked so cute preforming!

 Amiah did a good job dancing to a Hat Song, they all looked super cute out there.  Everyone loved it!

Good Job Kids!  We were so proud of you!  Everyone did a great job, and you guys looked so cute!  Love you kids!

Happy Easter!!!

Here are the kids all wide awake so early showing off their Easter baskets, just before we left to go to the Valley of Fire for sunrise mass

 Easter Egg Hunt!!!

 All the kids after the egg hunt!

 Poor Amiah...she loved it though!

 Check out this trio!

 This one hilarious, naughty Bryce...LOL!

 Jeremiah chilling in the shade with his momma eating some candy!

Happy Easter everyone!  We love Easter at our house, it is the longest day, but always well worth the fun!

Easter Egg Coloring!

This year we got some crazy character egg decorating kit.  The kids had fun with the stickers, hair and hats.  

 Jeremiah tried to hold so still so his hat wouldn't fall off!

 There always has to be one kid that ends up with dye all over their hands!

 The wonderful eggs all decorated!

Clark County Fair 2011

Who doesn't love the fair?  We actually didn't go until the last day, the weather was so nasty, and windy, and rainy, I heard it even hailed!  But we finally gave in on Sunday, and took the kids.  They had a blast, and  were so happy to go.

Here are the kids on the pony rides!

 Here they are looking at the small animals.

 Here's Uncle Josh and Gabi and Jeremiah riding on the merry go round.

 Here's Jacob with Aiden and Amiah

 Amiah going down the big slide!

 Aiden going down too!  

 Jeremiah and Gabi on the cars.

 I love this picture...Jeremiah being himself, and Gabi in her own little world!  

 Gabi is so done...but look how happy Jeremiah is!!!

 Jeremiah had to ride alone, but that didn't bother him at all, he loved it!

Jeremiah and Aiden on the motorcycles. 

 Amiah and Gabi on the motorcycles.

 This picture is so funny to me...boys, having to check out everything as soon as they get in.

 Then we took the older kids on the balls that float on the water, they loved it.

 We watched some mini monster truck show.

We had a fun time, and they can't wait for next year!

Girls Weekend!

I booked a wedding in Salt Lake, so I flew up all by myself for the weekend with no kids.  My sister pampered me, spoiled me, and took care of me.  She is truly the best sister in the whole wide world.  We got a massage that was simply HEAVEN!!!  Then a spa pedicure, who doesn't love that!  Then she sends me all relaxed to go shoot a wedding, while her and Stephanie went back to their place and took naps...I was so jealous.  I was in the I don't care mode, and I wanted to sleep too!  LOL, but it was a great wedding, and a dear friend of mine. So I was honored to be there for her on her special day.  Then the next day, my sister took me to watch a play, it was great!  I had a wonderful time just have girl time, and not having to worry about kids, or cleaning, or cooking.  Then that night I flew back home to my crazy life, which I did miss, but the break was awesome!  Thank you sister for a weekend I will never forget!  Love you!

A Hike around Valley of Fire

I had a session at the Valley of Fire, and it was such a beautiful day, I thought it would be fun to go home and pick up the kids and Jacob and bring them back out and hike around for a little bit.

They sure had fun climbing all over the rocks, and exploring.  Here are a couple we took with our little snap and shoot camera.
