Best Buds

We do a lot with our friends Nathan and Denise. Denise and I were college roommates and were in the same major. We were together ALL the time in the same classes and we did homework together. We liked to think that we both shared a brain. Anyway, we even had kids 6 weeks a part. It's perfect because we can get together and do things and our kids love to hang out with each other.



Kailey and Grant (Buddy) have been friends ever since they were born. They like to do lots of things together especially play in the water. Kailey loves buddy so much that she even prays for him in her prayers. Won't it be cute if they get married and we have all of these pictures of them together when they are young? Buddy even likes to wear Kailey's pj's on occasion. (As you can see above)
Kailey and Buddy strolling along in the mountains together. You should have seen their faces and hands before we took them home. Buddy likes to throw dirt, so he was completely covered.
We went to Bear Lake and the kids loved it! They didn't stop running around. We were lucky to get this picture of both of them sitting for 1 second.

Thanks Nathan, Denise and Grant for being such great friends!

Daily Happenings

Kailey loves cheetos and so the other morning (yes, before she at breakfast) she was asking for cheetos. So I gave her the bag while I finished making her some breakfast. I was getting in and out of the fridge and she managed to sneak in there and sit because it was the "cool" thing to do..

A new house is being built behind ours and Kailey cannot stay out of the dirt. She climbs up to the top of the hill and then runs back down again! She has so much energy!
She is really into drawing lately and always wants us to draw her bugs and worms on the paper. Daddy definitely draws them a lot better than I do!

She loves to wear Trev's hats. She only likes them on backwards though, probably because she can see better. If you look close, you can see that she has my shoes on too! What a goof ball!

WE LOVE TO GO CAMPING!!!

We went camping last weekend. It was good to get away from all of the noise and enjoy some peace and quiet! The 3 musketeers! They are lots of trouble when they are together!
All the cousins playing with Play Dough! It's a good thing Grandma comes prepared to keep the kids entertained!
Our Pet DEER.....Dad made some popcorn and Kailey dumped her bowl out on the ground. The next thing we know, the deer is right behind us eating the popcorn. It snuck up on us while we were talking around the campfire. The next night we made popcorn again to see if we could get the deer to come back and sure enough, THEY did. We had several deer in our camp. We even fed this deer Chocolate Pie! Lucky deer, don't you think?
Can you believe how close they were to us?
Here's a cute picture of all of the Grandkids for my mom. They are actually all looking, can you believe it? That never happens! What a cute bunch!
Kailey liked to pretend to drive Wyatt's 4-wheeler! She just loved being able to run around and be OUTSIDE!!

Bear Lake Round 2

We went to Bear Lake swimming AGAIN! We love it, what can we say? It's going to be winter all too soon, so we have to take advantage of the nice weather!


Kailey had fun with her cousins, Katie and Alyssa.
These two just laughed and laughed! They were entertained just sitting on the tube!

We rented a Jet ski! Ashley and Sarah and I were laughing so hard that we almost peed our pants. But don't worry, we didn't!

Fun In the Sun

We went swimming on the 4th of July at Bear Lake. Kailey loved playing in the sand! We had to strip her down to nothing to clean the sand out of her diaper! She loved it!

Kailey had fun helping Grandpa drive the boat!

Kailey loved laughing and playing with her cousins, Garrett and Carlee!

It's Been a While

I know I haven't posted for a while, but its summer and I spend most of my free time outside. Plus the fact that I have a 2 year old that LOVES being outside and I can't drag her inside without her screaming. Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to lately. Here is a picture of Kailey posing in the bathroom after I did her hair. She knows when she is cute!
I spoke at the Relay for Life the end of June. It was really a neat experience to see all of the cancer survivors and be able to give people HOPE! I walked the first lap of the track with my dad and grandpa who are also cancer SURVIVORS. We celebrated Kailey's birthday the first part of July. She loves bugs so I had to make her a bug cake. And she actually blew out her candles herself!We celebrated her birthday twice and here is a picture of her eating her birthday cake at Grandma's.

This is a typical picture of Kailey. When I want to get something done in the kitchen, all I have to do is put her in the sink and let her play with the water and she will be content for hours!

Kailey & Water

We have been fishing two times in the last week and we have managed to have Kailey fall in the water BOTH times. The second fishing trip, we weren't even there 3 seconds, and she already found the water. As you can see, her pants are soaking wet, but she obviously didn't care. She was still as happy as can be!
We stripped her down to her diaper because we didn't have any other clothes. When we got home, she escaped out onto the driveway and found MORE water. She is something else I tell ya! This is another time when we went up in the mountains and of course she ended up in the water. We just took her pants off and let her play all evening long! She loved it!

Tribute to Fathers

As Father's Day came and went I just wanted to dedicate this post to our Fathers! I am so blessed in my life to have such a wonderful husband who is so caring and thoughtful! Trevor is so good to me and Kailey! I couldn't have asked for a better husband! Thanks Trev for all that you do for our Family! I Love you!

I also want our Dad's to know how much we love them and appreciate all that they do for us! We have learned so much from you and are grateful for your example to us! We Love You!

Sunday Drive

We took a Sunday drive up to see a waterfall. It was so pretty and Kailey loved running around in the mountains! It's always good to get out and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Congratulations Hillary!

Hillary just graduated this last weekend. Great job Hill! We are really proud of you!


Here is a picture of Kailey with Grandpa and Grandma and Brandon. She loves her grandparents!

Planting Our Garden

Kailey loved to help Trev plant our garden. We planted red and yellow onions, carrots, corn, tomatoes, red potatoes, and radishes. We can't wait until we can eat what we planted!
