Dear thieves

Dear thieves,
I know times are hard, we all are going through it. But please don't steal our gas. It is annoying and really an inconvenience to find that gas is leaking all over the street. And for that matter please use the gas and not just let it go all over the street! I know that is was diesel, probably not what you wanted but if you bothered to read the truck then you would have known!

New projects

Lately I've been trying some new things like fondant, spray painting goodwill things, and of course lots of sewing! I made a couple of cakes for Dallen's B-day parties they turned out pretty cute! I also made 12 little capes for a super hero party sew fun!! I really like the before and after of the top of the desk.(thanks Christy for getting me thinking about the goodwill) Saver's is also a good place to look!! Happy thrifting!

A very long time

It has been awhile since I last posted!! The date was August 26, 2009.

Since then so many things have happen let me see if I can get it all in, We came back from vacation on July 7 th and decided to sell our house again!(it was for sell for a year a few years ago) It sold! So we moved in November! Right down the street but it still was hard! So we went on vacation in Oct.,to the one and only Disneyland!! So fun! Oh yeah did I meant Colten turned one somewhere in there.(Oct.1st)We have had our share of the throw ups 7x's for Colten this flu season, over it! We are currently getting over the lastest bout! We had the most amazing lights display this year! Doug really worked hard! We were putting lights on our house just one week after we moved! And then there were birthdays,Ali 10 (sept), Doug 32(nov), Dallen 4 (Jan),Kathy 30 (jan)! and there were holidays Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, New year's, and Valentine's day! (We choose not to meant Ground hog Day in there because it was not the out come we wanted!) We are back and hopefully will be better about posting!

Sleepy Boy

So, the boy that never naps has taken 2 naps this week!! Yay, now if they were the same time as Colt's we'd be doing good!!

Swimming

Kevin and his Mom invited us to go swimming the other day. My kids should have been born FISH!! They just love the water even Colten!! Please notice Colten's crazy hair, he is so fair and he hates hats so we use alot of sunscreen!! (it took a few shampooings to get it all out haha) It is so cute to see the cousins play together. Kyle is adorable!! Thanks so much Kevin and Vicki we had a blast!!

Lake Tahoe

We went to Lake Tahoe a few weekends ago, it was so much fun!!
I hadn't been for a few years, I forgot how fun it was!! Dallen loved the water (after a little while). We bought these floating raft things, so much fun, the girls didn't get off them the whole day!! Colten thought the water was a little to chilly(so did Mom) but everyone else went in!! It was so fun to just hang out and just have fun!!

Our Pro Hula Hoopers

At one of the cruises they have a big area where you can hula hoop. The kids loved it and were able to show off some stellar hula hooping! I love going to all the summer activities that Reno has!!

Oh Dallen

Dallen went downstairs in the middle of the night to sleep with Brooke!! So cute!

Here he is scrubbing the wall after he colored it!


You cann't really see it but here is where he colored the wall!


He went outside to play in his pool naked of course!


We have all his Pjs in a tub on a shelf in the closet well now that is his favorite place to hang out lay down, the problem is is he dumps out the jammies almost everyday huge mess!! But so funny!!

The other week I noticed that the only pictures I took of Dallen were of him getting into mischief!! So funny he really doesn't mean to be naughty he is just being 3!!

Jonas Brothers

OK, so we when to the Jo Bros. So we might have really like the concert!! The girls loved it, of course. Dallen still talks about seeing them and how loud it was!! The stadium of fire fireworks is by far my favorite I've seen I love it!!
You will notice our killer seats in the nosebleed section!! The girls were so excited I think there were tears when thay came out!! SO CUTE!! The boys weren't to bad we just would go out and get drinks and snacks and use the restroom alot!! I was sore afterwards from going up and down the stairs so many times!! haha How out of shape am I!!!

Sweet baby

Last night Colten was up crying at 12, so sad. I just love when it is not every night they get up but you get chance to hug them and love without worrying about anything else. I love the sweet smell of their hair, the softness of their little bodies, I love it!! I know that that will be the saddest part when I am done having kids is knowing that I am done, no more, but for now I will savor every minute.

Our own Fireworks show!!

One of Doug's greatest friends lives in Utah, so he invited us over for the most delicious burgers in the world and the best fireworks show ever!! (yes they legal in Utah, they have all the fun!!) OK, I'm only slightly worried that Brooke might grow up to to a pyro!! Dallen and Colten did really well, Dallen even joined in at one point. Ali would have not of that but she did enjoy watching and playing with sparklers!! Thanks Jason and Jesse!! We always have the best time at your house!!

Family Reunion Fun!!

We went to Utah for a Family Reunion, not much was planned for the first day we were there so we decided to go to the Dinosaur musuem and the Aquarium in Thanksgiving Point. So much fun!! The kids loved exploring in the Dinosaur Musuem, they are the largest Dino musuem in the US if not the world. They had so many hands on things, toys you could play with, costumes, a huge water and sand play area, even the girls loved it!!
After the musuem we were still looking for things to do, it was rainy and kinda yucky so we went to the Aquarium. The building was kinda funny like a grocery store front but the inside was cool!! Colten just loved to look at all the fish and things move! Dallen was so super cute to. They had people walking around telling you great facts about snakes and other repitiles!

Here are some more pictures from the past few weeks!! I just want to thank all my dear friends that come along on our adventures I love you all and will miss this time (in our lives) we have with our children and friends!!
This week has been a bummer Colt is really sick his fever was 102.7 last night he was just laying on me moaning and crying!! So sad, but today he is better!! HOORAY!! I still want to keep him home and well rested, I just feel so bad for the big kids!! Oh, well we always find stuff to do!
