Our Trip to Lagoon

We went to Lagoon a couple of weekends ago and I am just now getting around to blogging about it. My girls were so excited to go. We load up in the car at eight o'clock in the morning and set off for Utah. We got there right when the park opened. It was so cute the girls kept saying to each other "look at that ride it looks so fun." Briley was shrieking in the back of the car the whole time we were waiting in line to park, she was so excited. Once we got in we figured out that Tabrie was tall enough to go on every ride. Briley on the other had was not so lucky, she was about 4" too short for any of the big rides. Both of the girls were little dare devils, they really wanted to get on all of the wild and crazy rides (but Briley couldn't really ride any of them so we didn't let Tabrie go on them either).

We had lots and lots of fun. My girls have been asking ever since we left, "when do we get to go back to Lagoon?" It is an annual party at my work so I was able to tell them that we would be able to go back next year. I had so much fun spending time with my family. It was so fun to see the smile on my girls faces and watch them having so much fun. I am so blessed to have such great kids and a great husband that I just love spending time with.

Sunday Drive

We wanted to go on a Sunday drive so we decided to go Wolverine Canyon. We loaded up in the car and drove up there for a couple of hours. I had not ever been up there and either had the girls so we were excited to see what we were missing. As we drove into the canyon the girls noticed a little waterfall and they were so excited to see more. We didn't see anymore waterfalls but it is a beautiful area and it was only about 30 minutes from our house. We got out of the car and Rex told the girls that he would take them for a hike up this little hill. I guess we haven't ever taken our girls hiking before because just going up that little hill was so great for them. They had so much fun on that little hike they just kept talking about it the whole way home. They asked us to take them camping, hiking, and fishing next weekend. I am not sure that we will be able to go next weekend but we are planning on taking them very soon. We don't have a Trailer anymore so we don't do much camping, I hate to tent it. I think that I could handle going up there for a night and I know that my girls would love it. We just need to get a few more things done in the yard and then we can take them camping. :)

Our Weekend

We had beautiful weather on Saturday and we didn't even get a single thing done in our yard. :( We decided last week sometime that we need to get a new truck ours is really old (1979 to be exact) and just not economical, plus it is only a single cab and we have 4 people in our family. Rex had decide that we need to get one of 3 kinds of trucks so we set out early Saturday morning to test drive. It took us all day but we did finally get a new truck. Wow, was it a long day! I am so thankful for my girls. They had to tag along with us to all of the different car dealerships and they were so good. I am so blessed to have such good kids. I couldn't ask for better children, they are such a blessing to me. I had a wonderful Mothers Day, the girls were so excited Sunday morning to give me the gifts that they had made at school. Those are the best gifts, the ones that come from the heart. I loved what they made. Tabrie had planted some marigolds in a cup and made a sweet little card. Briley made this cute little thing that said "I love you this much" it was a heart with yarn and little cut outs of her hands you pull the hands to opposite sides so it looks like arms stretched out. I am so grateful to be a Mom and the blessing it is in my life. I couldn't have asked for anything more in life. My family is such a wonderful blessing to me. I have a wonderful husband who is so sweet to me and two beautiful girls. I think I am the luckiest girl alive. :)

Please Spread the Word

My sister and her husband are hoping to adopt another child. We know that the chance of them getting a baby increases if we get the word out. She made up this cute pass along card. If you know of anyone who may be considering placing their baby for adoption please pass along their information. You can visit their blog and click on their adoption profile for more information. They are a wonderful family and any baby would be blessed to be a part of their family. Thank you so much for your help.

Fun Idea

I was on a blog and I saw this idea and thought it was so fun I just had to share. The idea was for a Family Fun Day, which she got from the Family Fun magazine. What you do is let each person in your family pick an activity to do that day and you go and do all of the activities that each person picked. I think that this is such a fun idea. I know my girls would love this (I'm not sure I would love what they picked) they love to spend time playing together as a family. On this day you are supposed to forget about work or other things that need to be done, because this is just supposed to be a day of fun. I think that we are going to try this very soon, it sounds so great. I love to spend time with my family and this is a great way to make sure that everyone enjoys the day. Thanks so much for the fun idea Jessica!

The Best Daddy

Today was pretty nice (for how our spring has been) so as soon as Rex got home the girls met him at the door and asked if they could ride their dirt bike. Rex was so excited to let them ride. We put all of their new gear on them and they were ready to ride. Rex had to run beside Briley the entire time she was riding in case she lost control or couldn't stop. He was tired before she was of course.

He then had to take the training wheels off for Tabrie to ride. He got out the little 4-wheeler so he and Briley could ride beside Tabrie. They had so much fun. The girls came in a were so excited about getting to ride. Tabrie said "we have the best Daddy". I was just thinking that thought as she said it, he is the best Daddy, he does so much for us and never complains.


I love that Rex is always wanting to play with our kids even though I am sure he is tired when he comes from work. (he as to be to work pretty early) He spent the entire last weekend building a bed for Briley's preschool teacher, as payment for school, he never complained or even said anything about having to do it. He is such a great Dad and we all love him very much. (I am sure that we all feel that we have the best husbands and daddy's though) :)

Spring Break?

I feel really bad because this week was spring break and we didn't do anything fun for the girls. Although, Briley was in heaven because Tabrie was home to play with her everyday this week and she wasn't "bored". The weather stunk! It wasn't spring weather at all! It was cold and windy pretty much all week. The only sort of fun thing that we did was go to Artic Circle for lunch on Thursday. We went with Janeal and another one of my friends and her kids. The kids really enjoyed being able to get out of the house and play. I just don't love the food at any of the kid friendly restaurants so I have to talk myself into going to any of them. I am also so scared that my kids will get sick from playing on the toys at places like that so I don't like going to them very often. I am hoping that the weather will get warm soon so that we can start taking the kids to the park for picnics and to play outside on the toys . We got them a swing set for Easter so it would be nice if the weather would warm up so that the ground will dry enough that we could put it up for them to play on. I have spring fever so bad, I just hope spring like weather will show up soon.

My Little Gamers

I have always wondered if my kids are the only kids who love playing games. My girls ask every single day if we can play a game. We of course don't have time to play games with them every time they ask. We do try to play games with them as often as we can though. They love all games, but their favorites are Princess Uno, Princess Monopoly, and Chutes and Ladders. They are actually quite good at them too. It is so fun to watch them get excited when they win or they do something that will put them in the lead. I love games too! It is so fun spending time with my little family playing games and having fun together. I love my girls so much, I am so glad that they are a part of my life. All of the things that they do throughout the day that are naughty are all worth the "I love you" at the end of the day. I am so grateful for my daughters and hubby they are the best!
