UTaH tRiP!!!

This past weekend we went on a little vaca to southern Utah. We mainly hung around Bluff, which is an old pioneer town. My Aunt LaRue lives there in an old house that my Great Great Grandfather built after he came throught the hole in the rock. We stayed with her and it was fun to learn a little more about what the pioneers had to endure. (ya, camden gets all her modeling skills from me)

Camden and Cawas would have made some cute pioneer children!!!

Camden, Harley, Hunter, and Cawas hanging around "The Fort".

Pulling a mini handcart!!

This was the actually wagon that came across the Hole In the Rock.

This is the old house my Aunt lives in. It has had a little work done to it but it's such a cute old house.

After we got back from Bluff we hung out at my parents house for a few days to get some quality time with the newest member of our family. Little Aspyn is my best friends (basically sister) new little baby. She is so freaking cute. Camden was a big fan, she kept saying, "mom, when are we going to see that cute little baby."

2nd generation best friends!!

We have a pic of Lacey holding me when i was a brand new baby, (she was a little bit older than me too). I wish i had that pic.

In some down time we even busted out the old games. Bed bugs was a hit, do you think they still make it???

And of course the swing set is a must!!!

We love time at grandma and grandpas. Thanks for letting us stay and hang out!!

on a mission...

So we have been working on finishing Cawa's room, slowly but surely. Pictures will be coming soon, i am super excited about how it is turning out. But i decided that i wanted to decorate a little with some old licence plates. The only problem is i only have like 5 and i think it would be fun to have a few more. So i am sending out a shout out to everyone and if you have any old ones just laying around collecting dust and getting in your way, feel free to send them our way. They would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!!!

Thanks Grandma Great!!!

Brooks grandma who the kids call "Grandma Great" made these amazingly cute little crocheted elephants for them. They are so stinkin cute and the kids love them.
The green one is for Camden and the red is Cawa's. They fight over them all day. Cawa's is starting the age where he knows that the green one is Camdens so he grabs it and takes off running. Then you give him his and he throws it cause he just wants to bug his sister. It is super naughty but actually quite funny. SHH, don't tell him.

Camden absolutely loves hers. The day after she got it she just had to take it to preschool show and tell. And she has slept with it every night since. Thanks so much Grandma Great. We love them!!!

First day!!

There is a first for everything and this week was Camdens first day of Preschool!!

I have always known that Camden would love school, so there were no worries at our house on Tuesday!! And she did awesome. She was so excited she kept looking at the clock and saying "mom, look at the clock it says it's time to go, right now!" It was cute!! So ready, i hope that lasts til High School, right!!

One happy kid!!

Cawa's just went along for the ride, not quite sure what the crap was the big deal. Just another day!!

I stole these pics off of Melindas blog(Thanks) so they are little different.

Like the amazing mom i am i totally didn't take my camera. But here is Camden and Chandler super excited that they are in the same class!!

Here are the little brothers. They are a little timid without the bigs. But they managed okay, they will get use to it!!

Such handsome little buddies!!!

(Cawa's looks HUGE, he looks the same size as Deegy, 9months older)

Wow, that went fast!!!

Summer, didn't that just start???

Ya, i'm sure that the summer went as fast for everyone as it did for us. Bummer cause things just started to slow down enough to actually play out in the yard. Well at least we did it once. These little naked babies are the best of friends and had tons of fun in the little pool!!

What a happy handsome boy!!

Oh, Kylee will be missed at our house. Come back soon!!!

Loungin' by the pool!!

Just a few close up's of my babies!!!

Sad day at our house!!!

This morning when we woke up we had a BIG problem!! ALL of Mr. Cawa's binkies "disappeared"!! We looked everywhere for them but we can't find them anywhere!!! UH- OH, that makes one little boy very sad!! (and a bitter sweet day for mom too)

Oh, but he looks so handsome without it!!!

Doesn't get any better...

It really doesn't get any better then this. Good company (Brooks family), good food, fun toys, tons of water, beautiful canyons, and perfect weather. We had another successful year a lake powell. I took tons of pics so here are just a few. Thanks for the fun times Stuart and Carol!!!

Mr. Cawa's had fun running on the tramp. He was such a little trooper and did really good this year.

Chandler, Deegy, and Camden were watching over the edge of the top of the house boat.

The boys play this fun football game every year. It's a blast to watch and the guys have fun playing it. Someone stands on the top back of the house boat and launches the football. Then two guys on the wave runners take off after it and jump off the catch it. It's hard to see but Brook is catching the ball and even keeping his feet "in".

We took a ride over to the Indian ruins near by and went for a hike to see them. Camden liked the little underground houses.

Mr. Cawa's didn't want to get out.

Brook went for a crazy ride on the wave runners. He even flooded it so bad that it didn't work the rest of the week. He felt really bad.

Brook wake boarding!! He did awesome!!!

This is our fun little cove. It is so perfect. This is the 3rd year in a row that we have gotten it. It is in the shade ALL the time and there is tons of sand and rocks for the kids to play on on.

That's one happy little girl!! I think this is her favorite place on earth!!!
