Malad

Kip had his annual boy's trip up to Malad the beginning of May.  Jax & I joined him on Sat. along with my dad, mom, Nicole & Ray.  It was freezing for the most part & we went through a ton of firewood! That is also why I look like the marshmallow man in the picture below, I believe under Kip's coat I had on another coat, a sweatshirt, long-sleeve shirt & a short-sleeve shirt.  I fell asleep around the campfire Saturday night & woke to everyone running around cause it was snowing!!  The boys liked playing in the snow with the 4-wheelers & Kip & Ray managed to get themselves stuck.  My dad was just off playing on his new 4-wheeler none the wiser that the other boys were struggling to get out of the snow while us girls sat & laughed at them.  We went on some pretty rocky trails & had lots of fun getting through some sticky situations.  We had so much fun & can't wait to do it again.  Thanks guys for a great weekend!

KiP's B-DaY

For Kip's birthday I tried to make him a wonderful dinner at home since we both had to work that night.  I made crab legs, shrimp, potatoes & corn on the cob.  It all was really good except for the shrimp it had a really rough texture.      I hope you had a good birthday babe, I LOVE YOU!!

JoRdYn'S 2nd B-DaY

Our sweet little Jo turned 2!!  Oh I can't even describe how much I love this little girl!!  Jordyn & I share a bond that is so dear to my heart, she makes me feel like the most special person on the planet.  She has such a strong personality & I know that she will do great things in life!  She had a fun birthday party with lots of friends, balloons, a pinata & a bounce house!! We are so lucky to have her in our life & are thankful for every minute we get to spend with her.  We LOVE YOU Jordy!!

Our 1st Camping Trip of the Season

We went camping down near Green River for our 1st trip this season.  It was cold and windy most of the time but we still had tons of fun.  We went with Kip's parents and got in some fun 4-wheeling time.  Unfortunately, this is what happened about 20 miles from our destination.  When we pulled down the spare tire we found a large crack through that tire.  Not the best thing to find when you are in the middle of nowhere. We put it on & hoped for the best & luckily made it to our destination.  Let's just say approx. $200 later we were all set to go home.

BiRtHdAy FuN

Happy birthday to my favorite 1 year old!! My niece Charly celebrated her 1st birthday today. We were able to go over & have dinner, cake & ice cream with her.  She has such a sweet little personality & we are so lucky that we get to spend so much time with her.  We have spent the last couple of days hoping she would walk before she turned 1 but her stubborn, timid personality is just not ready to take that leap yet.  Charly we love you & are so happy you are part of our life!!

Why we love summer

Warm weather, sunshine, & truck rides.

Lunch Date

I had the opportunity to go to lunch with these lovely ladies. Kip's grandma HATES pictures of herself so I had to be sneaky & snap it quick before she could protest to much.  My mother-in-law was also there but I know she would not be pleased with me posting the picture I snapped of her & I would like to remain in her good graces.  Thanks for the fun day girls!!
