Our first camping trip of the summer!!

Can I tell you you how much I love to go camping!!!! Sorry for all the pictures but I had too many to choose from (like always) When I was little we went camping all the time and I loved it and still do. O my gosh we had a blast camping this weekend!!! We did just about everything we could do in the time that we had. We went on a huge motorbike and 4-wheeler ride and it was a beautiful ride and we had so much fun. We spent a day in Jackson Hole and had a horse and carriage ride that was wonderful and the girls giggled and loved it!!! The girls got a play pink gun and their Daddy taught them how to shoot it in the trailer at a stuffed moose, very funny :) Josh bought me a gun over a year ago and I have never even held it but I finally got a chance to shoot a log with it and it was fun. We went fishing and Maddy caught a tiny fish, she was so excited!!! Kenna reminded me of myself when I was little and went camping, she packed her babies around everywhere she went. She was always saying shhhhhhh baby sleeping, she will be a good Mommy someday. Maddy learned how to ride the little motorbike and she was a natural, it was so fun to watch her. Josh stayed right with her and was helping her, I remember my Dad doing that with me when I was Maddy's age, so much fun!! We sat by the fire and had smores and dutch oven peach cobbler....yummy:) We had the best weekend ever!!!

Year End Dance Recital 2009

Another year of dancing has come to an end for the girls I can't believe it. Maddy and Kynzee have now been dancing for 3 years and they are getting so good at it!! I love to go and watch them perform at the end of the year and see how proud they are at their good work, they are always grinning from ear to ear at the end of the night and I just love it :) They practice so hard all year and it is fun to have two little girls in dance, next year we will have three that is crazy, but so much fun and so worth it!!

Whitney and Shar (the girls that babysit for me) also take dance through the same place as my girls so we got this fun picture of all of them together!! It has been fun to be able to watch all of them dance at the recitals. My girls just love these two and look up to them so much :)

Trip to Salt Lake City Utah

We made another fun trip to Utah last weekend, and it was a blast!!! We went with my sister Katie and her boyfriend Rodger. My girls just love them both so much and they were so fun to spend the weekend with. It was nice not to have to be anywhere at any certain time, we just relaxed, slept in, swam everyday, and played until late at night!!! The girls had so much fun that they said we should move to Utah and live in a hotel :) :) I thought that was a great idea because the weather was just beautiful and then we got home to nasty wind!!! The girls love to swim and it was fun to watch them laugh and laugh and have so much fun in the water. Little Kenna kept wanting to jump off the side of the pool and have her Daddy catch her, she would say "again, again" she is such a brave soul. We spent the day Sunday at Temple Square and the Conference Center and it was worth every minute. We went through some of the Visitor Centers and listened to a fun little skit on families being forever and the girls sat there and listened and watched all of it, I was so proud of them for being so good. We went to the garden on the top of the Conference Center and it was amazing, I had been there before but it was fun taking my girls. The girls saw the Angel Moroni on top of the Temple and asked what that shiny gold thing was on the top of the temple, it was funny, but a great opportunity to tell them who that was and why he was up there. Josh proposed to me in front of the big waterfall and it was fun to come back to it 7 years later and take a picture of my girls in front of it. We had so much fun, the time always goes by too fast but it was worth it, I love a vacation even if it is just a few hundred miles away :) :)

Our Fun times in May

I keep getting further and further behind so I decided to take a few minutes during nap time (when I probably should be taking a nap) so I can get caught up on our fun times we have had lately.

So first of all the girls had their little graduation night for Preschool and it turned out so cute. They had a part they had to memorize and they both said it so loud and clear I was so proud of both of them. I don't want to forget their cute sayings so I am writing them down here.

Maddy's

A is for alligator

his mouth is a trap

if come near him

it will shut with a snap

Kynzee's

K is for kangaroo

she lives where is hot

she jumps all day long

with her baby a lot

Maddy and Kynzee have been so good to each other in school this year I am so lucky to have them so close in age and be such good friends. They are just so happy and fun and it was good for them to go to school together and learn to take care of one another. I just love these girls. Sorry my pictures are so terrible it was dark and for some reason my camera was not working well. And it didn't help that those little people are always moving when they are singing their songs!!

Happy 54th Birthday to my Dad!! We celebrated my Dad's birthday and it was a wonderful day. My Dad means so much to me. He has always been there for me when I needed him the most, he has set a good example for me, and has taught me so much in my life. I am lucky to have a Dad and to share my Dad with my sweet little girls who love him so much. Happy Birthday Dad I love you!!

O and I can't forget Mother's Day!!! I had the best Mother's day ever, really it was. I am so blessed to be able to be a Mother of three beautiful girls. I know the Lord must have put a lot of faith and trust in me when he sent them to me. I think being a Mother is the best calling in the world. I feel so sad when people put Motherhood off because they are busy with other things in their lives, when there are women out there who would give anything to be a Mother. I will never regret starting a family, and being able to a Mother. I am so lucky!!! Josh had taken the girls to town and made it so fun for them to remember me on Mother's Day, I was so proud. They each had something special to give to me and it was so fun to watch them bring me their thoughtful little gift and say "Happy Mother's Day" and give me a hug. I felt like a real princess, and my girls had smiles from ear to ear. They kept telling me how wonderful Mother's Day is and how they can't wait for next year's Mother's Day. Mother's are wonderful and they do so much for us that it is nice to remember them on their special day. After church we drove to Palisades to see my Grandma. I had a wonderful day with my Grandma who has always been like a Mother to me, she is so special to me. My Mom was also there so I got to spend the day with both of them and it was just great!! My Mom is so good to me and is always there for me, I am so lucky to have her in my life. I have always felt so blessed to have the time I have with my Mom. We then went for a little drive in the mountains and it was a beautiful wonderful day.

Look at this cute shiny purse that my cute little girls picked out just for me!! O how I love those sweet girls.

Beautiful flowers with a heart locket, I am a flower lover, I always love a nice fresh vase of flowers in my kitchen.

Each one of my girls gave me one of these flowers so we can plant them outside.

How can I forget that my sweet mom and sister remember me every year for Mother's Day and they gave me this adorable watch and I LOVE IT!!!!

For the girl's last day of Preschool they got to go to Tauphus park Funland!! What can I say they had so much fun riding the rides. Life is going by so fast I cannot believe another year of school is over. The girls had the funnest school year and today was a wonderful way of ending it.

We were suppose to pack a lunch and have a picnic and it was so windy that we came home and ate our lunch. My girls have the best imagination because the whole time we were eating they kept saying "We are pretending that we are at the park Mom" "We are on a blanket having a picnic Mom" "Isn't this a nice picnic lunch Mom" O they were so cute and made the best out of a bad situation and our nasty wind!!!
