Cabin August 4th & 5th

The weekend before school started we made a quick trip up to the cabin. We played games Aggravation, Sardines, Kick the can, Skip-bo & Phase 10. We had Cody & Kelsey's bow & arrows, took a walk to the country store for a treat, found this beautiful spot to go fishing. The kids made forts & of course we always have to go down memory lane and on the way home had to stop for Mexican food.

Newport California July 8-14th 2012

 Landon and Carter: Buddy's for life!

 Kelsey, Sydney, Presley, Cody and Kennedi

 Besties! Sydney, Presley and Kennedi

 Bus ride to the fun zone!

 Cousins are the best!!!

 This little guy was my bud the entire trip and I loved every minute of it! Whenever I would walk in the room he would grab his blanket & want me to hold him. And, when anyone would try to take him he would say NOOOO! and wave them away, sure made me feel good! Pierce would also get very serious when it was time to give me loves. Love this boy!

 Attempting to get a cute photo of all the cousins! We took them shopping in LA what did us mamas expect?!?

 Downtown Disney! They danced, ate ice cream, shopped and watched fireworks who needs Disneyland!

 I love my new sister in law Kansas, she fits in perfect & is a sweetheart to my baby brother Steven.

Newport Temple the girlies posing! We had a blast and this is what happens when you spend a week in California. Thanks Paige for getting the beach house we sure had fun and already planning for next summer! Things I don't want to forget: Circle K, Cronic Taco, donut runs at midnight, Mama D's, Paige & I walking in the rain with the Hello Kitty umbrella, brunch for Mom's birthday, shopping & more shopping, hanging out with Jacki's family, bike rides, Jack's surf shop, second trip to LA! Oh the fun!!!

 Tatum, Cody and Kelsey

 All the fun games before the fireworks!

Ice cream at Nelson's after.

Sydney's birthday bash!

Sydney turned 8 and we celebrated with a big bash! Paige got a party bus! Everyone met at Sydney's house dressed in their best cowgirl/cowboy get up. We headed to Joe's Farm Grill for very yummy food. WOW was the line long, out the door & down the sidewalk. Thank goodness that it was a beautiful night & most of the seating is all outside so plenty of room for the kiddos to run free without annoying others:) She opened gifts while we waited & then after some very good grub we headed to our next destination. Rustler's Rouse for dessert, line dancing & of course the big slide! But, I really think we could have just had pizza on the bus drove around for hours & grabbed ice cream on the way home because the best part was dancing in the bus. Cody was able to met up with us after his football practice. Sydney is a sweetie & told Paige she needs some cowboys at her party.

Makin' Memories!

This last weekend us girls had big plans to leave the guys at home to watch the Super Bowl & we would bring the kiddos to California for some good old cousin fun! We rented two SUV's and headed to Cali! Paige and her kids Tatum, Sydney & Landon, Bridget and her kids Presley, Tess & Pierce, Me & my kiddos, Jacki, Grammie & MaryKay and her kids Mia, Nate, Eden & Will. We got to the hotel late & the kids were a bit hyper since they slept most of the way! They had fun figuring out all the sleeping arrangements.

The next day we had to get a photo of mom with all the grand kids. She is such a fun Grandma!

We took the kids to Legoland and we had a fun day! Everyone seemed to love the roller coasters the best and it took us awhile to get to them and the day went by way too fast.

Kelsey being silly at Miniland which was pretty cool. They have a whole new Star Wars section and we never found enough time for the Aquarium. Another great part was the major discounts we got, gotta love that right?

Cody & Presley having fun on the boat ride.

Aunt Paige and Carter

Here's the crew!!!

Tatum, Pierce, Eden, Tess (freaking out), London, Nate, Mia, Kelsey, Carter, Kennedi, Cody, Sydney and Presley

Love this photo of Miss Kennedi

The next day I didn't take one picture with my camera I did take a few with my phone. We slept in and got packed up. We had to run to Target to get swim suits & few other things to go to the beach.

We were leaving Target to grab food & head to the beach well mom backed into a lady in a small car so while they dealt with that, Paige & I got food. The food took forever and thank goodness the lady mom backed into was so kind. After all that we headed to the beach and it was a beautiful day and fun! The kids had a blast! It was a little chilly but you know kiddos don't care. Collected seashells, play in the sand, run in the water and eat ice cream. After a full day we headed home! Here's to making memories!!!
