Morgan tries to do everything on her own. She had made herself a drink of chocolate milk and left the can of powder on the floor. As you can see Dallas found it. He was so proud of himself. He was so dang cute giggling and smiling. How could I get mad??? The can was almost full and this was all that spilled... thank goodness!!! He drools a lot and his foot were sticking out of his jammies. Yes... he was kind of homely that day!

July 4th weekend!!!

We started out the weekend at the Honeyville celebration.

There we lots of toys to play on. Of course Jace would not come down. So this time I sent Brance up after him.

Before the parade they play lots of music and my kids were having the best time messing around and dancing.

Jace, Morgan and friend Macie had fun on the ride.

Such a sweetie!!

Dally got tired of being in the sun!

Honeyville also had a fish pond where the kids get in and catch fish with there hands. I was not paying much attention and Grandma had taken them over and let them get in.

We did some fireworks!

Monday night we went to the fireworks in Brigham. Dusty and Brance had gone to Idaho to check on the cattle. They got a flat and didn't get home till 11:00 pm so me and the other kid loaded up and went in the the fireworks. We stayed in the car and had snacks.

We had so much fun hanging out in the back of the car. We put the seats down and made a bed. We all had on our jammies. The kids keep bugging me to let them do it again.

Dallas had fallen asleep on the drive in and woke up in the middle of the show. We weren't close enough for him to be scared of them. Morgan was glad we were far away they make her really nervous.

I have the best kids. We have so much fun together. We are all best friends!!!

ZOO!

I had to take Jace to Primary Children's to a follow up visit. We decided to go to the zoo so my whole family meet us there.

Cutest little guys you have ever seen!!!

Dallas is the best baby. He sat there the whole day and never even got mad.

We all loved watching the new baby elephant play in the mud! So cute.

Here they are watching the elephants. The mommy decided to go to the bathroom. Very interesting!!

That was scary... we almost lost our heads!!!

We had the best time hanging out with all the cousins. Me and Jace had to leave and go to the hospital and my family took good care of my kids for me. I felt bad we missed most of the animals so we went back in after everyone else left and walked around again. My kids were so good and patient. They all crashed as soon as we got in the car. We had tons of fun thanks everyone for going to the zoo with us.

more vacation pictures...

Okay... so I should have posted this before the Nebraska post. This is the second part of our vacation.

We stopped in Cheyenne, WY and stayed the night. They were having a "super day" at there park. It was all free!!!

It took me a long time to get Jace to come down. Then he wanted to do it again and I was being stupid and let him. I ended up having to go up after him. I could see why he didn't want to go down. It was a little scary. Made my belly get butterflies!

All the kids road on the bull. Morgan was not happy... they had to stop it and let me get her off. Brance loved it. Jace was scared to death he got on and right back off.

There were big boots all over the city. Each one was painted different. It was kind of cool.

My kids love hotel's. It's also one of there favorite things about vacation!

We don't go swimming much. They are scared to be alone in the water. They loved going swimming in the hotel's.

Nice farmers tan!

My sweet boys enjoying the pool!

We stopped at the first ever Cabela's in Sydney Nebraska on the way home.

We have never even been to the one here in Utah!

Well there it is. I hope I didn't bore you. We had a great time. It's always hard to want to come home... and back to normal life again. We had a great time. Love my family!!!

Nebraska

For our family vacation this year we decided to go and see Dusty's little brother and his wife in Nebraska. Dalan is doing an internship on the Church ranch for the summer. We left on Monday and stoped half way and stayed in a hotel and arrived on Tuesday in Nebraska.

Uncle Dalan and Aunt Timari with the kids.

On our way out we took a quick family picture. I set the timer and ran...it turned out pretty good. It was so beautiful. I was so confused the whole time... I could never tell which way was north!

Timari has been taking care of some baby calf's that don't have mommy's. The kids loved giving them breakfast and dinner.

We caught lots of frogs! This was the biggest one we found.


Jace was so tough. Those calfs were hungry and they would get really excited and knock the bottle right out of your hand!

We also found turtle's!!! They were everywhere. The kids all says they were there favorite part. Timari was so cute. She was worried that we wouldn't be able to find any so she saved some for us. We ended up seeing a few walking in the road. It was really cool.

I think Dallas was really going to try and eat this frog.

One of the main reason we went to Nebraska was so that Dusty could help Dalan brand cattle. Morgan is helping Dusty hold this one down.

Brance is helping Dalan with this one.

Morgan my little cowgirl!!! She is not afraid of anything!

Dallas is not afraid of anything either!!! He makes me a little nervous!!!

We had a long 10 hour drive. We spilt it up and made it more relaxing. We are so greatful to Dalan and Timari for taking us in your home and showing us a wonderful time. It was the perfect vacation for our family. We so excited to be your neighbors in a month or so when you get back.

Brance had lots of fun playing baseball this year! He did a really good job. He is growing up way to fast!

Jace's 3rd Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACE!!!!
actually it was a month ago...

Jace's Birthday was on a Saturday and Dusty was gone to Idaho all day to check the cattle. So we had a fun day at home and he opened present with our family and I made him a small cake so he would have candles to blow out on his actual birthday.

We had a birthday party for all the family the next day. Everyone of mine and Dusty's family came that lives in Utah so it was pretty big and crazy, but very fun!!! We had hamburgers and lots of good food. He requested a Mickey Mouse cake.

We love Jace so much he is so much fun!!! He can make me laugh so hard. He is so cute. He has more energy than I can keep up with most days. He is the sweetest big brother to Dallas. He can smell out mud from a mile away. If we lose him we will be sure to find him in the nearest mud puddle. He chnages his clothes many times a day! I hope he had a wonderful birthday and I'm so glad he is feeling better and is the same little guy he was before he fell out of the shopping cart. We are so blessed to have him in our family!
