A week of sister fun and cousin mania!

This last week was such a fun one! It was a week full of sisters and tons of cousin fun for the little kids. All of my sisters were in town and we tried to do as much together as possible. I love each of them SO much and love that we all enjoy being with each other. The cousins had a blast. There is about 15 of them right now so when they all get together it’s loud, messy and did I mention loud but SO fun for them. I love seeing my little boys have so much fun with their cousins. :o)




My amazing, beautiful and wonderful sisters!!!! And of course my hot mommasita.

One of the days we all headed up to Gateway to go out to eat and then to the kids museum.

We had a girls night at my moms house where we learned how to make paper. Sound wierd....but so cool and fun.

My cute sister in law Britt who is due ONE month after me. We are SO excited to have are babies close!!!

We also took the kids to Thanksgiving Point.

Rowans dancing face

I had just dropped the boys off at their schools and was driving home and looked back to see Rowan like he usually is dancing to the music. He has this hilarious face when he is dancing in his car seat where he will stick out his lips and have what we all call his funny face. Don't worry, I pulled over and stopped the car to take this video.

Watch his face at the beginning of the video. :o)

Happy Birthday Rowboat!!!

In our house Rowan is known as Rowboat and our little Rowboat has turn a BIG 2 years old!!!!!

There are SOOOOO many reason why I love this little guy, here are just a few-

-Just the sight of Rowans cute round face put a huge smile to my face.
-Rowan will laugh at almost anything. The one thing that will get him going is when Josh tries to entertain the boys with his juggling tricks. Rowan is usually the loudest one laughing.
-Rowan loves to give me hugs and kisses.
-Rowan will still snuggle with me in bed.
- Rowan loves to “try” and help me cook.
- It’s hilarious to hear Rowan talk to you because he knows a handful of words but will talk you you like he knows everything. You can usually understand what he is talking about by picking out the few words you hear mixed in with the other jibberish.
- Rowan adores his older brothers and dad.
-Rowan still takes naps- WAHOO!!!
-Rowan LOVES the movie “CARS” It’s all he seems to talk about. So, of course for his birthday he got a bunch of cars stuff, which he was VERY excited about.
- Rowan say’s Please and Thank You almost every time it needs to be said.
- Rowan is a feisty little child and has this determined don’t mess with me attitude. Hummmm I wonder where he got that from. :o)
-Rowan tries to repeat and learn as many words as he possibly can. He loves to sing the ABC and count along with me.
-Rowan is a GREAT eater, he loves to eat almost anything….even sushi!
- Rowan calls his brothers Moose for North & Raaraa for Railay. It’s cute to hear him around the house calling out their names.
- Rowan is just a cute and funny little kid. He is always making everyone around the house smile and laugh by just being him. :o)

We love our Rowboat and are So lucky to have him as a part of our family!


We went miniature golfing and bowling with the boys for Rowans birthday. We actually really celebrated it the day after his birthday because we were driving home from Vegas on his birthday. I had all these grand plans to have the house all decorated and this awesome cars birthday cake for him….But life happens and by time we got back it was a little too late. :o)

Quick trip to Vegas

Josh had some business in Las Vegas that he had to be to so the boys and I tagged along. Josh was gone all day long so we headed to the beautiful nearby Red Rock Canyon to spend the day hiking. We were there two days and spent both of them up there. It was so nice to FINALLY be in warmer weather.

On our way home from Vegas we stopped in the St. George area to do a little hiking around. We went to this area close to town that has this fun crack that is great for the boys to go climbing through. Thanks to my ever growing belly I could not fit through it.

I laughed so hard when I saw this picture. When we were taking the picture we didn't realize that Railay was behind us peeing in the bushes. I had not noticed until I was looking through the pics later on. haha i'm still laughing about it :o)

Solo Camping with the boys in Moab

The boys and I went camping in Moab last week for a couple of days. Josh could not come with us because he had other obligations he had to be to. We camped at one of our favorite places to go camping which up highway 128 right before you get to Moab, there are a bunch of campground by the Colorado river up this highway. The day we got there we went hiking up Negro Bills Canyon, which is a beautiful canyon by the Colorado River. It’s a short canyon but if you have kids who are not usually fast hikers you can spend plenty of time hiking up the canyon. The next day we went hiking and exploring around Arches all day long. The boys love going to Aches because there is a bunch a short hikes that end off at some beautiful Arches and there is plenty of dirt and rocks to play in… a little boys paradise! :o)

The day after the boys and I got back from camping we wanted to do something fun with the WHOLE family, so in the evening we went to Planet Play which is an awesome place to take little kids to. The boys love playing video games with their dad and this place has tons of rides and video games. It's fun for the little kiddies..... and yes it can be fun for us adults too, we even have fun riding on the merry-go-round :o)

10 years ago & SNOW!!!

This last weekend Josh and I were able to go to the “10th Anniversary of the SLC Olympics” There was a banquet before which we were able to see Mitt Romney and then afterwards was the event at Energy Solutions Arena. I was very lucky to be able to have a date night with my hubby 2 weekend in a row….. rarely happens but I love date nights!!!! Plus they put on a great show to celebrate the Anniversary of the SLC Winter Olympics.


If you look REALLY close you can see Mitt Romney behind me. He talked just for a bit to our group. Kinda cool to see him, since you never know if he might just be the next president. :o) We will see though.

The boys spent the night at their cousins house since we were going to be out late, So the next morning Josh and I had to go out for an early morning walk. It has snowed all night and everything was beautiful. We started at about 6:00 am, so no one was out which made it even better.

We have not had much snow that has stayed this year, so the boys were very excited to go outside and play in the snow. All morning long they were talking about when they could go outside and build a snowman. They built a BIG one and then ended it off with a snowball fight. The boys slaughtered Josh. :o) He’s a great dad and will take some hits all for the enjoyment of the boys.
