A 4-Wheelin Adventure

We went 4-Wheelin with Lance's brother and his family this weekend in Manti. It was so much fun!! It was colder than we had hoped but we bundled up and enjoyed it anyway:) The kids rode with Lances brother because they had a back seat in their Rhino and we didn't.

Carlie, Cayden and cousin Gab

We went to breakfast on Saturday morning. When we pulled into the parking lot Carlie got so excited because she saw this person!

She couldn't think of his name and so she was trying to describe this person with red hair! We didn't see anyone so we couldn't figure out what she was talking about. She was so excited you would have thought she had just seen Hannah Montana!! When we walked up to the counter to order in walked Ronald McDonald himself!! Carlie was not so excited anymore when he was standing a foot in front of her (he is really tall in person):) She was scared to death of him and we had to force her to be in this picture (if you couldn't tell):) We had to get a picture though, after all how often do you go to Mcdonald's and see this guy!!

Nothing was going to stop us from getting to the top!! I am serious!!! You don't know how many times we came to a roadblock where you thought there was no way we could get around it and Joey would find a way!!:)

Going through as many mud puddles as we could, as fast as we could was the highlight of the trip!! I have never been that covered in mud before:) Lance would intentionally go through the mud just so I would get wet!!

The snow couldn't even stop some of us:) We just wish we would have video taped this sooner because it was so hilarious watching Lance and his brother trying to get themselves out of this one!!!

This is the best picture you get when you set the camera on another 4-wheeler to take a picture so that everyone is in it:)

On the way home! If only I could have gotten the picture of Cayden falling asleep while holding the spoon from his ice cream!! He was getting ready to take a bite and fell asleep!!:) The kids had so much fun and keep asking when we are going to go again!!

Summer Vacation!

Carlie and her cute teacher Miss Lilly on the last day of school!! First grade is already over and now we are ready to play and have fun!!

Still waiting.......

Still waiting for warmer weather!! We hope it comes really, really soon:)

Birthday Celebrations....

Cayden turned 4 today! He has had a week filled with celebrating. He could hardly wait the last 2 days before it was the real day so he could open his presents. He would cry and say "I just can't stop thinking about it"!!:)

Spring Recital 2010

Tonight was Carlie's end of year recital. She did such a great job and has had so much fun this year taking dance:)

Nervously waiting for her turn!

Last day of preschool...

Cayden has loved going to preschool this year and has had fun each week playing with his friends:) The last day of preschool was filled with lots of fun games, popsicles and treats!! What a way to end a great year:)

The best part was trying to throw water balloons at the teacher (luckily for Miss Lindsey no one had a good aim)!!:)

13.1

I finally ran my first 1/2 Marathon, the Ogden 1/2! We were lucky and last minute got to take Danielle's brother and sister-in-laws spots in the sold out race, thanks!!! My official time was 2:17:00 which was better than I had expected! Danielle, being the amazing runner that she is ran it in 1:50:57!!!

We spent the weekend at an amazing condo in Eden, Ut. with our friends, Danielle and Jeremy along with their 3 kids. There kids are the same ages as ours so it worked out perfect:) We all had a great time, especially the kids!

The kids got to run there very own race (I think it was a little under a mile but after already running earlier it felt like 5)!! We have decided that Cayden will be a receiver one day he is such a fast runner:) When the kids finished they each got a cowbell for their medal.

The kids lived in the hot tub, we had a beautiful view!

The kids loved having a sleepover everynight too!! Cayden actually slept ALL night in his own bed for the first time in 3 years!! I hope he continues this now that we are home:)

Carlie and her friend Bailey:)

I was lucky to get this picture, it is crazy at these things!!

Elite Dance Academy Small Jazzline

Carlie had her dance competition today at Lagoon and her team took 1st place!! They did such a great job!! They danced to the song Supermodel. We stayed the rest of the day and went on lots of rides. The kids loved it so much Cayden left crying because he loved the place so much he didn't want to leave!! Lance was sick after the first ride (he doesn't do well with any rides that spin, which is pretty much every ride) so I was the lucky one who got to go on all of the little kids rides while Lance sat and watched:) It was a fun day!
