Today was the annual heart walk - we walk from the rec center to the hospital! This year we brought up the rear... too many kids to keep track of and I had a broken stroller that wouldn't stay up. Good times!!! It was the perfect day to be out walking. Thanks for the company ladies :)

So I've been wanting to make one of these forever... I finally did it today and it was super easy! I love it :)

DaNcE pArTy

Today we brought Brady home with us after preschool. The kids started out on the trampoline and then it started to barely sprinkle and they came in the house. How do you entertain 2 five year old kiddos and 1 two (almost three) year old? You bust out the kareoke machine!!!

A GrEaT day to go.....

4 wheeling!!! My kids have been dying to go on a ride and today seemed like the PeRfEcT day. We just headed out to Bunkerville and up in the hills for a couple hours.. we had a great time and the kids got their 4 wheeler fix for a few weeks! Thanks grandpa --- you'll get your cookies tomorrow :)

No more Grandma :(

On Thursday Mason and I took Grandma Gerry to Beaver... we met Susan and Julie there. We had to stop at the Cheese Factory so grandma could get some ice cream. Out of all the years we've been driving back and forth from Utah (17 yrs)- I'll admit that was the FIRST time I have ever stopped there and I didn't even buy any cheese curds! We had lunch at Wendy's, after our dessert and then headed back for home. We stopped in St. George and met up with my mom and Brooklin and shopped a little bit and ate dinner at Olive Garden!!!
It was fun having Grandma down here with us for a few weeks, hopefully we didn't drive her too crazy! I enjoyed my time with her baking bread and cinnamon rolls... now we'll see if I can remember how to do it! I love you Grandma :)

my BLOG book

I just turned my blog into a book and I LoVe it! It turned so awesome and I'm already working on my 2nd one. I decided I'd do this for now since I'm so behind on scrapbooking and this will have to do until I have the space and time to pull stuff out!
I used Blurb.com and thought it was quite easy to use. It took a little time getting the pages how I wanted them and added a few pictures here and there but it was well worth the time. My book is a hard cover and has probably 150 pages and it was under $60. I'm going to make a book for each year, my first one has from Aug 2007 and all of 2008 in it. I'm already starting on 2009 :) And it only took a couple weeks to get here too!

when grandma's bored.....

We head to St. George to the Dinosaur Tracks museum! First we baked bread, I tracked down a Bosch mixer so we could stay busy. Grandma Gerry saw an advertisement for the museum in the paper, so I jumped on the idea and we planned to go when Brooklin got out of school. The kids enjoyed getting out and seeing the dinosaur tracks! Afterwards we stopped to see Kirstin and then the visitor center at the temple and topped the night off at Pizza Factory! Can't go wrong with bread sticks and raspberry lemonade :)
