Ahhh :)

Home sweet home! Finally we are together again and loving being back at home. It was a long month for all of us, but we are grateful to have had the experiences we did. Lets hope this month goes slowly! I updated the slideshow pics from our trip :) enjoy

campout

We went to vernal for the weekend to go to my parents ward campout, it was a blast. The kids had an awesome time. There were pony rides, face painting, fourwheeler rides, and games. Kailer rode the pony probably 30 times, and I'm not kidding. Meili oddly enough rode it once and didn't feel the need again. Kai rode the four wheeler 3 or 4 times, and when asked which was his favorite thing to do, he said, "oh mom I can't choose they are both my favorite." They were so excited to sleep overnight in the camper. We ate great food and roasted marshmallows. Meili got absolutely filthy, she is one of the messiest children I know... She almost needed 2 showers to get the caked dirt off of her. She loves to sit in the dirt and pour it onto herself then rub it into her legs. Such a boy thing to do! Kai is so not like that. Camping was so much fun and we are so glad we went.

sisters and more sisters

Love hanging out with my sisters. We have been spending a lot of time together this week and doing plenty of fun things. It has helped to take my mind off of things lately, although hasn't completely filled my ever missing void... Ahh we are half way done with this month and are now on the down hill slide. Can't wait to be a family again :) Anyway on the positive note, we've been playing at water parks, enjoying the outdoors, playing at the zoo, and spending time with cousins. Bridal Veil FallsOne of the highlights of the zoo :)Cousins Jaydn and Brenon, had a great day playing with them at their house :)And yes, It is exhausting, this just might be one of my favorite pictures of all time... :)I shall leave you with the latest creative burst of energy, yes from both of them :)

Vernal Fun!

We spent a week in vernal with my parents and my sister Brenda came down from Minnesota. It was so much fun to see her and spend time with the grandparents :) Here's a bit of what we spent our time doing. Pics are the best way to show all our happenings, so prepare yourself, there are many...

Football...
Bubbles...
Remote controlled cars...Fishing...which apparently is soooo exhausting :)Geocaching...if you don't know what it is, google it, it is our new favorite thing!!!And last but not least, hiking... Kai was the biggest hiker, we climbed the hugest mountain! He was so proud of himself that he did the whole hike. It was definitely a challenge, but felt so good, we were pretty high up and got some great pics. He was my little hiking buddy, while Meili slept in the camper with grandma. He did ask me on the way down if I would hold him, but with further proding it wasn't because he was tired, it was because he was afraid he was going to get bit by a rattle snake :) No worries, we didn't happen upon any...These babies miss you Daddy, but we are keeping ourselves busy. Here's to the next 3 weeks :)
