Picture overload!

Get ready for picture overload!   
Here they come! :)

 Loved seeing the Joshua trees on our way through AZ
As well as driving over the bridge and then back over the Hoover Dam!
 A stop in St. George reunited cousins who are so much alike!!
And introduced us to Bubba and Sawyer!  Loved hanging out with them! 

4th of July fun at Andrea's house included squirt guns, chalk, bubbles and water balloons! 



Poor puppies were a little overwhelmed by all the kids but they survived!

Love my grandma and am very sad to realize that I forgot to take any pictures with her or of her with any of my kids!  Love you Grandma, sorry we didn't spend more time with you!


Gwen playing water balloon hot potato with Annie and Adam 
Bryson and Chrissy 
 Love my Uncle Tim!
Sparklers!  We had so much fun trying to see if we could capture letters or shapes with the sparklers!  A heart was the best one we got!  Thanks for playing Lexi! 


Friday was Lagoon day!  SO SO MUCH FUN!!!
The boys learned that rollercoasters don't have to be scary and that it's kind of fun to be a little scared on a ride!  The girls were so adventurous and tried just about every ride they could get on!!!

Cayden found the Kontiki ride which he LOVED! 
This was a favorite of all three girls! 
Cayden also discovered a love for Puff the Dragon rollercoaster!  Never thought I'd get him on one! 


Nothing's better than playing in a water fountain with cousins! 



Saturday was family reunion day in Bountiful!  Zac brought his guitar and sang to us all!
I got to finally meet my cousin Nonie!  She's even taller than me!  Such fun! 
Cute babies and kids all around and a great day of fun!  So glad we got to see everyone! 


Later Saturday we headed to Temple Square to check out the visitor's center. 
 We were going to go to the Church History museum but we got there right as it was closing.
 We still had fun with Ashleigh and Hannah as we went through the visitor's center and around Temple Square!










Sunday we stopped in St. George to hang with Jarrod and Rachel and the boys again!  It was hot but still a fun little break from being in the car!

 Bubba and Gwen were 'best friends' while we were there!





and Sawyer even warmed up to me a little bit! 


It was a super busy and fun weekend.  I didn't get pictures of everything or everyone I wanted to.  Like, no pictures of Grandpa Bob playing with my kids every morning and showing them the birds.  They had so much fun.  And Jan helping make sure we had everything we needed. We didn't get enough time with anyone else either.  Next time maybe we'll make it a full week so we can see everyone!  
Either way it was a fabulous weekend of fun and I can't wait to do it again!

Mother's day and other things...

Because I am trying to do better....

And because it's been a while since I posted anything......


I figured it was time for a couple pictures!
 Maryn loves having her hair curly!  

 Cayden's a little ham!

 Ethan's getting so big!  Can't believe he's 11!

 Ashlynn is a goofy girl but so sweet and kind too!

 Gwen learned how to do "I Love You" in sign so she does it to me all the time!  Such a sweetie!

And me and my crew!  I'm such a lucky mother!
