Bear World!!!

Since we have been back in the west and staying with my parents, we decided to go the the Yellowstone Bear World just outside Idaho Falls and they are not kidding, it really is Bear world. It is chuck full of bears. We went cause I heard on the radio they just had these bear cubs (3 months old) so I thought the boys would love it! It was great fun! Sorry the pics are'nt great, they are from my phone, but I recommend going...it was fabulous!

Goodbye Oregon!!!! :(

If any of you don't know, we had a huge change this past month. Scott's job has transferred us back to Utah. It happened quite fast and we had about two weeks to pack and move, so we are currently staying with family til we find a place to live. Most likely we will be north of Salt Lake somewhere. This move has been a little bittersweet for us. We grew to love Sherwood (where we lived in Oregon) and we made amazing friends. So while we are excited to be back by family, we do miss everyone in Oregon. Some friends threw us a going away party, there are a few pics from the party. It was at a place called Safari Sams, a huge indoor playground, so the kids could play and we could talk. It was great fun and we felt sooo loved! How GREAT are our friends!!Thanks to everyone that came. We love you guys...Utah here we come!!!

Davis turns 3!!!!

Happy Birthday Davis!!! I can't believe he is 3! We had a great time for his Batman themed party! It was one of the last events before the big move, so it was bittersweet for us! The kids had a great time! Batman cake, cupcakes, ballons, party favors, and pizza! You really can't go wrong with that!

CABO!!!!

Vacation!!! Cabo!!! Two words that bring a smile to my face! A much needed getaway for Scott and I, I mean who doesnt love the sun and the beach? Best EVER!!!!!

New friends!!!

We had a great time getting to know everyone from Orbit and their spouses! We made some great friends and memories! At night we played SCUM, ate chips and guac, and ordered many "virgin" daiquiri's. We also went shopping and had dinner in Cabo at the "tailer Park." We had such a great time!

Sailing and the Whales

This excursion is by far the best I have been on! We went sailing out to Lovers Beach and did some snorkeling for about 30 min. The water was so freaking cold that we didnt last very long, but we saw some amazing fish and drank lots of salt water! Then we went out and did some whale watching, and as you can see we had a great time. We followed these 3 whales for about 45 min and they put on a fabulous show for us! It was awesome!

Great Wolf lodge!!!

So we decided to take a mini vaca to great wolf lodge this weeked and had a total blast!! I went a few months ago I went there with my cheerleaders and knew that the fam needed to go! The boys LOVED every minute of it, Blakely not so much! It was a little to cold for her and too much splashing, she hated getting wet! Niels had the time of his life running from slide to slide and going down all of them by himself, including the big ones! Davis thoroughly enjoyed the hot tubs (just like his mom), we spent much of the time there trying to turn his purple lips back to normal color. We had such a fun time, with great friends!!!

a work in progress!

still working on this blog...can't decide on the design!!!

What, my last post was months ago?!?!

Okay, so I was talking to my sister in law tonight and I told her she needed to start a blog, so I could see her kids. I feel like I am missing out on them growing up and as I was telling her to blog, I realized that I haven't blogged in like forever and I had no room to talk. So I came home and decided to do a few month update. I love reading other peoples blogs...so I better do my own. Here is a few pics and things we have been doing as of late...

Miss B

Yes, she gets her own post!!! :) as the princess of the house, she pretty much gets anything she wants! But seriously, look at her! I know we are biased, but we think she is totally adorable! She is growing up WAY too fast, I feel as though I blinked and she is 9 mo...she loves her some oatmeal and bananas in the am, then followed by getting into everything in sight and wrecking all of her brothers toys (because now that she can crawl, everything is hers) and then on to pulling herself up to smile and get so excited she falls right down! I feel as though that has happened too soon and she will be walking before we know it!

Soccer, here we come!!!

UMMM..this might be the cutest thing ever! We have been so excited to put Niels in soccer and it has finally arrived! They are so dang cute, in their uniforms and shin guards, I can hardly stand it. Niels is doing great, he is one of the fastest on the team (he really is :)) and with dad out there coaching, he is all smiles!

Valentines Day!

I love Valentines Day!!! I had so much fun this year doing things for the people I love! My parents sent the kids a V-day package and we all know how much they love those! Yummy treats from grandma and MONEY from grandpa. I did the "14 days of Valentines" for Scott which was fun considering I havent done all that much in the past! and on Vday we had heart shaped everything...pancakes, sandwiches, fruit...and a candlelight family dinner....LOVE.

Happy Halloween!!!

So in true Oregon fashion, it was raining for Halloween this year! Our ward did a trunk or treat on Saturday night, which was fun...but rained the whole time, so the boys were done about half hour into it! We were okay to leave considering we were driving to the airport to pick up my brother Brandon, who surprised us with a visit for a few days. I can't tell you how excited I was to hear we were getting a visitor! So we decided that we would take the boys trick or treating on Sunday night as well! Our little batmans and ladybug were the cutest things ever (I am a little biased) We do have too much candy to handle now! Happy Halloween!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!

My parents sent the kids a huge Halloween box full of treats and toys! Let me just say they were in heaven...My parents sure know how to win them over...."Cars" and Toy Story fruit snacks, animal crackers, oreos, and candy...just a few things in the box! A super cute hat for miss Blakely too! We love you! We also got a Halloween package from my aunt Ann in Montana with candy and glow sticks, we played with them all night long...Thanks Aunt Ann, we love you too!

Carving Party

Just a little Pumpkin Carving party at our house. We had a few friends over to celebrate and had a great time. We played a few games, had a carving contest and ate too much junk food. The kids enjoyed the candy and could care less about the pumpkins. Good times and more to come...
