RANDOM FUN THINGS

OK I need to thanks so many people 

that played a part in my SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY.  

Dani and Kari, mom and dad, Nikki, Russ.

......................  All you that came with such fun gifts, those of you who couldn't come but wrote such nice things about me.  I  bawled like a baby.  It's so hard when so many people put so much time into something for you.  It is so overwhelming.  Thank You, Russ for the bike, Dani and Kari for the Movie of my life you made and the amazing book, I love you all.....................

Sand Hollow is truly one of our favorite places, it's so easy to get to and so marvelous once there, the kids had a great time with all our little cousins.

Dutch Oven and Camping at MT. Charleston:  So many people would never know 30 minutes away from Vegas are the greatest mtns. and camping.  The kids love it, we love going their especially with fun friends, thanks Nelson's. 

Shopping and Kareoke Grill @ Coyote's

No trip to California is fun unless shopping is involved. 

MAN I LOVE THIS GUY

We love to go to Coyotes grill and kareoke, we about died when Madi and Tylei got up and sang Mamma Mia, despite their facial expressions they loved it.......

San Diego Zoo and WIld Animal Park

Pandas are my FAVORITE ANIMALS......you have no idea.....

I do have to give kudos to these Dads, all the men with us were awsome, thanks boyz

BEACH HOUSE with Wonderful Friends

We truly had the best time ever.......with the greatest people ever.  Thank you Cam and Michelle Kelsh for inviting us to such a fun week, Thanks Dani and Wade and Kayla and Jeff Hall.  We stayed in this beautiful house in Carlsbad and we were so sad to leave.  The kids all played so well together and the weather was AMAZING.....

These girls are a riot, they were inseperable and love the camera as you can tell, I would have to say that these snails (below) were a major part of the trip, they were everywhere and the kids played with them non stop.  These are the cutest kids ever.....

This is the whole Group, in front of Sea World, always a favorite.  Shamu was a hit as always....

One night after the beach we went to a Padres game and sat on the grass.  The kids played baseball the whole time on the mini field, we just ate and ate and had a great time, If I could go back right now this is probably what I would choose to do, it was so much fun....as you can tell someone changed a dial on my camera so these are the greatest shots...

More pictures of the trip to come later, but don't want to bore you to death.........

Busy Summer Fun!!!

...............................We have had a fun couple weeks, going to a Beach House in California with Friends, kids first triathlon, hanging out in St. George with family and frequent trips to Sand Hollow..................  I will be journaling them as I have time.  Also many pictures will follow as I can get them posted.  SO be ready for a lot of Pictures.    

Kids 1st Triathlon...........

No Words Can Express the feelings Russ and I had this day......  We were so proud of Madison and Koda we couldn't believe it.  On Saturday June 5th we got home from a week trip to California at about 11pm, ONLY to wake up the next Saturday at 6am to assist the kids in competing in their first kids triathlon.  AND BOY WAS IT WORTH IT.......

They did such amazing jobs, when they started their swim Russ and I coached them along the side, I was so proud of them I HONESTLY started crying.........right during this above picture

They both got medals and had a blast,  we will be doing more that's for sure
