Our new addition to the family................

so this is what went down......

We were a little bored last Saturday and anyone that knows Steve and I know that we hate being board! So I had a thought that we could go and JUST LOOK at the pet store, well anyone that knows me enough knows that I have a hard time JUST LOOKING at the pet store, and I even told myself no pets before we got there........But they had this cute little guy on sale and all the stuff to go with. I folded the kids folded and even Steve folded. So now we have a cute little bunny that gets a lot of LOVE from mainly Me, Caden and (unfortunatly) Hadley! But don't worry PITA it is under control.

Island Park and Yellowstone 2009

We had a lot of fun going up to Steve's Grandma's cabin and parking our trailer on her land. We road our 4 wheeler, played in the river, made good food in the dutch oven! and went into Yellowstone for one of the nights. Caden really enjoyed Yellowstone this year, he loved all the steam and the big Buffalo. Hadley loved seeing the animals of course and she just loves being in the trailer. We also really enjoyed spending time with Steve's Grandma. Good times we shall never forget!
And I love to take pictures there because everything is so beautiful!!!

Steve had fun finally catching fish....it has been a few years since we caught any on the river.




The kids had so much fun playing on the banks of the river making up all kinds of imaginative games. I just sat in the boat and enjoyed the beauty and the peacefulness of my kids playing happily.

Camping

This is one of two trips up two Payson Lakes. It is so beautiful up there and we enjoy being out in nature, just to get away from the craziness and enjoy some quality time with our little family. Hadley and Caden loved fishing, every time Caden would put his pole in the water he would catch one! And Hadley mostley liked "Petting the fish" as they were dying on the shore! She loves animals just like her mom!

California.........I will live there one day!

We went to California for a 9 day vacation in Oceanside at a private beach house on a semi-private beach! I found this place and convinced the guy that he could rent it to us for half the price because school was not out yet and he would probably not rent it out anyways. Well it worked and my parents came so we were able to go and live the life of luxury for a few days! Needless to say, we did not want to come home....Ever! But Reality set in and we came home to allergies, mosquitoes, Really long grass and a very mad cat! (she is a people cat and hates being alone!)


We went to Lego Land (wasn't impressed) and Sea world (really good!) Hadley my animal lover liked sea world so much she did not want to leave! We did not make it to Disney Land, I think we just liked our beach house so much we did not want to leave anymore than two days!

Lots of pictures ahead!!!!!!!!

Big Suprise!

Steve surprised me on Friday with a trip to La Caille (the last time we were there was when we got engaged) He said that it was for Mother's day and that I could not know where we were going. We ended up at this beautiful restaurant and after we were done we took a stroll around the gardens and Steve opened up a beautiful velvet box with a NEW wedding ring in it! (I lost mine last summer) I was shocked and excited! It was so thoughtful and sweet and a lovely night!

Our latest project on our house.

Steve has been working for weeks to finish this baby. And it is finally done, so now we can work on all the other things that this project led to! I love it and Steve did a great job for never building a deck before!
