7 Years!

Wow! It is crazy to say that Kayleb and I have been married for seven years! Last weekend we celebrated by going to dinner and a movie by ourselves thanks to my parents! We went to the Cheesecake Factory. It was my choice and it was great. We rolled out of there and decided to hit a show before we called it a night. It was fun to just hang out with my husband since we don't see much of each other on a one on one basis. I love him so much and I am very grateful for the patience, love, and support that he always gives me. He works hard for our family and is a great dad too! I had fun this last weekend and look forward to many more years to come! Happy Anniversary Kayleb! I Love Ya!

Splash Park

Jenny and the boys invited us to go to the splash park with them. It was so much fun. The girls just followed Ryder around the whole time and loved playing in the freezing water. We camped out on the grass and they would run back and forth from the water to us and get snacks and had some lunch there too. It was lots of fun thanks to Jenny, Ryder, and Jax for inviting us! The three stooges!

Cute little stinker!

Lance and Breckon's Wedding

Next on the line-up for the summer was the much anticipated wedding of Lance and Breckon. It was a beautiful day in Salt Lake and everything turned out great! Breckon was a beautiful bride and Lance was well...okay he looked pretty good himself. We started the day at the SL Temple and then took some pics there..not me cuz I of course forgot my camera duh! Then we took a break before the luncheon at the Joseph Smith building and had a mini lunch before lunch. We were all starving and it was very hot outside and the kids were getting onery. Then we went up to the luncheon room and ate again of course and had a good time with family and friends. Then we dashed over to our hotel to check in and rest a little only there was not much resting because we only had an hour to get ready and back to the Joseph Smith building for pictures. So as soon as Kayleb got the bags to the room I started doing hair. Miah and Mazie were so good while I did their hair even though they were sooo tired. We were about a half an hour late for pics but considering what had to be accomplished in an hour we did good. The girls looked so cute! They just looked like little girls not babies and they had so much fun with Ryder and Jax. The reception was pretty and then we went back to the hotel and all crashed for the night. We are so excited for Breckon to be in our family and wish her the best of luck with being married to Lance!HaHa! Just kidding Lance we love you! Thanks to Jenny for the pics! I will get one of the bride and groom posted soon.Todd made an appearance and the kids loved him. His speech was very moving! We miss you Toddie!

These girls were the cutest ones there! Mazie refused to wear her flower but she didn't need it to look adorable. Don't let these cuties in purple fool you though. They were not very helpful for pictures. Especially Mazie! Oh well. We had a full, but great day!

Dusty Camping Fun!

This year instead our usual trip to Escalante we decided to go somewhere close so we went to Strawberry River. It was great weather and we got the best of both worlds. We got to camp with both sets of Grandparents which the girls just loved. We camped with Grandma and Grandpa Walters the first part of the week then Grandma and Grandpa Carlton came up along with Lane and Jenny and family for second part of the week. We had a lot of fun. We didn't get the campsite we wanted but it turned out good. If you measure fun by how dirty the girls got then we had loads of it! The girls did really good and loved being outside and playing in the trailer. The only thing they didn't like was naps and baths. We took the four wheeler and forgot the registration sticker so when we ran home for my cousin coming home from his mission and stopped home and grabbed it. It was very dusty and dry up there, but we had some good family time together! I will look forward to next year going to Escalante how I love that place and Kayleb not being able to get cell phone service!! Kayleb was getting lots of help between Buddy and the girls with putting on new lights on the trailer. We took a drive to Strawberry to throw some rocks and cool our feet.We took some truck rides looking for animals and the girls loved riding in Papa's truck.
My parents water cooler and cone cups had the kids lining up.I took the girls on some short rides around camp since we don't have helmets for them yet. They liked riding with Mommy. Just kick'in back!

The Terrible TWO!!

I know I am over a month late on this post, but oh well. My sweet one year olds are now terrible two year olds and it leaves me wondering where all the time has gone. I just can't believe that we have made it to the two yr mark and we are all still alive! They are so full of energy and keep me going for sure. They love to swing, play with cousins, go to visit Gama's and Poppy's houses. They love to sass their parents, sing, dance, scream(ouch), and just play with their sis. Miah and Mazie's favorite song is "Hear you me" by Jimmy Eat World. They call it the angel song and ask for it all the time. Miah loves to do the guitar and drums in the beginning and they both love to sing it of course. They like to help with prayers most of the time, but usually get distracted by their sister or something else half way through. They only like it when their dad pushes them on the swings because he pushes the highest. They always complain about the way I push them. Mazie is still a Daddy's girl and Miah is still a Mama's girl. Mazie is still a couple of inches taller than Miah. Their weight is the same at 30lbs each. They are pretty good eaters, but have to be negotiated with. I have become pretty good at bargaining with them(sometimes). They are so much fun and sometimes I find myself just being so frustrated with them and their behavior that I forget to enjoy this stage they call the terrible twos which I have a double dose of why they do. I wouldn't change it and I love them so much! Each day is something new from what they say, like when Mazie told me "In a minute." when we had to leave Gama's house to what they do like when I walked into their room and found they had both taken off their clothes and their diapers and were both jumping up and down in bed instead of napping. Help me! Happy Birthday Miah Jean and Mazie Mae!!Mommy and Daddy Love you!
