Weekend Away!

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my kiddos and hubby. However, a girls gotta get out every once & awhile. It was Ammon's idea that I go meet the fam in utah for the weekend. What a sweetie. I'm not quite sure he knew what that would entail with the kids but he sure did awesome. He juggled carpooling, softball game, soccer practices, soccer games, coaching, primary program, school carnival, & church, all by himself. Needless to say the kids were clean and happy when I arrived home. I was able to go visit my friend Nicky in Utah , watch Chad play soccer, visit with family & watch an awful game of BYU football!

Brother Chad & friend Spencer

Mom, Dad, Chad & I - love the trees!

Fall Break Fun!

We decided since we weren't leaving town for the break that we would try to do a fun activity each day as a family!

Freestone Park

feeding ducks, picnic & rides

Rocko said "mom it's like disneyland & the train ride is like big thunder mountain"

Easily pleased!

Museum for Youth

(AJ's friend Landon from Boise came & played with us for the day!)

Miniature Golfing

Bowling & Arcade

Someone took this very seriously....... & he takes after his dad. We decided it wouldn't be smart to do our Christmas shopping here!

Disneyland here we come!

We decided to leave Addi home and take the boys to Disneyland. We opened and closed down the park both days. We were completely exhausted by the end of it, but it was well worth it! AJ's favorite was big thunder mountain & graduating from Jedi training by fighting Darth Vador himself!  Rockford's favorite ride was the submarine Nemo ride and It's a Small World, however, he was a good sport and went on Splash mountain  numerous times. Ammon's favorite was taking pictures with all the characters..Ha, Ha! I just loved feeling like a kid again and seeing the kids faces light up with excitement.

Tarzan's tree house.

Fun in Chicago!

Ammon & I were able to go & visit Chad & Ryann over Labor Day weekend. We had so much fun sightseeing, playing with Cole/Henry, shopping, going to the pier, playing games at night, & most importantly eating lots of great food and Garrett's Popcorn. Thanks Chad & Ryann for such a fun weekend! 

  

Help!

I just thought I'd let you all know why my blog is sooo lame. I HATE MY COMPUTER! It takes me about 20min to do one post because my computer is so slow. So until I get a new one or acquire some super power that doesn't require me to sleep, then don't expect to hear from me very often through this portal. No really I'm trying to bring blogging back into my life....but my computer has another idea!

Fall in AZ.

We enjoyed the fall weather in Arizona. We had one of the warmest Halloweens in a long time. We didn't have to work in full body suits or coats into our costumes for once. We had thanksgiving at Uncle Don & Shanda's. The kids had fun as we stayed at their house the whole week prior too thanksgiving. It was one big party!

I haven't been very good at logging in our lives. I don't know how everyone stays so up to date. Oh well, i'm working on it so forgive me. Here are some pictures we had taken last week.
