Fun times in Provo

Everyone say AARRRGGHHH! Thats right, we went to pirate Island! Mom and Dad came down for one of the nights we were in Provo, and they took us to Pirate Island. The kids were in heaven, and so were the rest of us when we got our 2 feet across pizza! Aptly named "the Krackin"

Me and my dad... ya, we're pirates...

And my lovely sister. What a dork. :)

Olivia helping give Simon a bath.I love this picture because I was just walking through the living room and found 3 of my children singing to little Simon. SO sweet!

We also got to visit the natural history museum on the BYU campus. It was really cool, and FREE! I love free. The funniest part was Lisa and Tyler giggling incessantly as they posed their sleeping little Simon up next to ferocious animals and taking his picture. It was pretty dang funny. I think that its creepy that it looks like I have my face up against the lion next to me.

Kailey was brave enough to touch a real live snake!

Simon was so brave.

Isaac and a GINORMOUS grizzly bear.

Logan with an ostrich and Rhino.

Thanks for the great memories Lisa and Tyler!

Sweet Simon

A couple weeks ago, me and my kids (Jakey had to work) got to go spend the weekend with the Lewis's and I got to snuggle Simon LOTS. But I am missing him already... he is such a happy content little baby. Anyway, I just wanted to put up a couple pics of me and him loving on each other. :)

Bountiful Baskets

Ok, so this is a sample of what you can get when you order from bountiful baskets! This whole pile of produce cost me on $15 dollars! I know, WOW right?! Just click on Bountiful Baskets and it will take you to the website so you can learn more about it.

Golden-crusted Brussell Sprouts from Heaven! I already loved brussell sprouts, but my friend gave me a recipe since we got some in our bountiful baskets. SSOOO yummy! Heres the recipe if you'd like to try them!

Naughty Nutcrackers

So I was rounding the corner of my living room, and saw this. Can you see the one in the far corner? Our two little nutcrackers that the kids love to play with (aka hide, break, place them stratigically so I will step on them, give them a bath in the bathroom sink... you get the idea) and they were placed like this. I asked Kailey (who was on scene) and she said "nutcrackers are naughty!" I don't know what they did to offend my little 2 1/2 year old, but it was naughty enough to land them in the corner indefinitely! Anyway, I thought it was just hilarious. I love this silly girl. Shes always doing funny stuff like this.

And Logan got GLASSES! He loves them. His eyesight isn't too bad, but enough to make a difference in the classroom. I told him about when I first got glasses in 4th grade. My dad said he loved these big hurkin' pink glasses, and thats all it took. If dad thought they were great, then I thought they were great too. He thought I looked pretty. So sweet.... looking back, I'm not so sure... Ok, I have decided to post a picture of me in my "great" pink glasses.

Hot stuff right? I'm pretty sure they came from the grandma section...

Logan is Seven!

Ok, so I know, he turned 7 a couple months ago, but I don't want to forget anything. Kay, here goes!

Logan wanted to have a Blue Football party.... not a blue football, but a blue theme, AND a football theme! Thus this rad homemade cake by yours truely.

Check out all the yummy blue food we had to eat! I know, the Doritos aren't REALLY blue, but the bag was and that was close enough for me :)

Here are the party animals getting their fill of blue dye.

I thought all their BLUE toungues were so stinkin funny, we had to document it!

Logans favorite gift was a remote control car from Jake and I (score! Gotta love getting 25 dollar toys for 5 bucks! Yay Walmart clearance!)

has it really been 2 months already?!

Well I decided to dust off the ol' blog and browsed through my friends and family list, and was happy to see that a lot of you haven't been on here much lately either! With several faithful blogger exceptions :)

Not that I had much to say, just wanted you (if anyone even reads this) to know that I was still alive and kickin. I have quite a few things I would like to blog about, so look for more soon.... Hopefully..... Hope all is well with all of you!
