the Fair!

they loved their balloons! They were swinging them up and down everywhere we went.
I love her tongue sticking out! It's her new thing

Chance wanted to stay on his horse






Lyndee having a snack













He went on this slide about 20 times! He LOVED it!!





















We had so much fun! I can't wait for next year








The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

Chance on his first day of preschool
We made him a picture chart to describe how his day was going to go


I love his new backpack!

He sings "Round & Round" everytime he gets on or off the bus
He loves to ride it!



He did really good. I thought he was going to be scared, but he was just fine





Antelope Island


Espenca checking out some Buffalo I think



















It was really fun to go for a jeep ride around Antelope Island.
My favorite part was walking around the old farmhouse and seeing how
people used to live. It was really interesting. I can't wait to go again. Hopefully with Clay's
grandma so she can tell us a little more about everything






Our Park City Group!

This is the only picture I got of the whole trip! How sad :( Good thing we had two photographers there!

Random Pictures I had to post

He put on my boots and walked over to the neighbors house. LOL!


She looks so sweet and innocent in this picture!







Chance playing in the water. An everyday thing at our house



We're training her early




Chance was pushing Lyndee around. She was laughing so hard







Do you think we need a pantry lock?

So..he's not in the pantry here, but it just adds to everything else he gets into. I wonder what time he went to sleep that night after getting into all that sugar!He dumped an entire LARGE bag of marshmellow mateys on the floor. I made him shop vac it up himself. I think he had fun doing it though..


I was putting Lyndee down for a nap and when I came out, this is what I saw. Chocolate Nesquick powder. I am getting a pantry lock for sure!

Ashley's Diaper Shower


Congrats on your 3rd girl! I'm sure she'll be just as cute and sweet as the other two!She's due within a couple weeks!





My first attempt at a diaper cake. I was pressed for time so hopefully next time I can do a little bit better, but I think it turned out pretty cute.


4th of July

Our friends from New Mexico came to Utah for the 4th so we ended up going to her parents subdivsion party. We had a lot of fun and it was so good to see them again! We miss them so much and can't wait to hang out again. Chance played with his cars on this dirt mound most of the night. He would also slide down it
Lyndee breaking my sunglasses! I wanted new ones anyways :)

Hunter getting all hyped up on Mt. Dew! :)

The Kids had way too much fun at Lagoon and were all tuckered out



We spent a day at Lagoon with Tyson and Angela too!
It was a ton of fun! I won't post the pictures they took while me and Clay were going down a ride at Lagoona beach! ha ha (inside joke)




Lyndee's 1st Birthday!

She got this train first thing in the morning so she could enjoy it all day!
I can't believe she is one! We've enjoyed our past year with her so much

Her Ladybug cakes. Thanks so much Keli for letting me borrow your pan on such short notice:)


Eating.. Just where she likes to be. Clay calls her Miss Piggy!



I wish I had a better picture of her whole little outfit! She looked pretty cute :)




She didn't eat very much of her cake, I was surprised. She must have been full.
I want to thank everyone who came to share her birthday with us. We had a really fun time and we're so thankful for all the gifts (which you weren't suppossed to bring)..We truly just enjoy having you come enjoy the day with us, but we also appreciate you for thinking of Lyndee on her specail day and don't want to seem ungrateful. But next year..No gifts! lol!

Our Home Away from Home

So I bought Clay a little SURPRISE this summer! He goes hunting every year and always feels bad when he has to leave me and the kids behind...So we have been talking about getting a trailer. Well, little did he know I found the perfect one! I found it on ksl for DIRT CHEAP, but Clay was working graveyard and I couldn't get ahold of him. Luckily my next door neighbor Mark was willing to come with me and do all the man research on it for me. I was going to go for a drive the next day and show Clay his surprise but I couldn't wait.. so as soon as he got home the next morning I told him I bought one and he had to go pick it up! He laughed...Luckily. I think he cried when he first laid eyes on it though! ha ha. As soon as he got it home we started fixing it up and didn't stop for about two to three weeks. It is pretty much brand new now and we giggled the whole first week we had the thing! I am so sorry to all my poor neighbors who had to look at this thing sitting in our driveway and wondering what the heck we were thinking! I had to take the kids to the park while Clay worked on it so he could get something done

Chance had a good time feeding the ducks!
He found Clay's gloves and was flapping them around. (and he was potty training) He'll kill me for this when he's older!


Yes, we did get a new mattress. The other one was 50 years old!









Chance loved it right from the start!





The panels by the front and back window had a lot of water damage so Clay replaced them. This is a before shot.






Before/After we recovered the seats






This is how we bought it! "It looks like a pink nightmare!", Clay would say.








AFTER! It looks really good now that it is all done! Inside and out. We've had a few fun little camping trips with it and can't wait to have many more! I think it fits our little family perfectly and will be a little sad when we outgrow it.
