TWIST & SHOUT

Peyton had yet another great, successful dance recital, she totally rocked it and did the moves great. She is loving dance and its fun to see her improvement every year.

 P and her drunk looking brother :)

Beautiful Girl

I didn't take a ton of pictures because the lighting was so horrible that they wouldn't have turned out anyways.

MUDDY BUDDY'S!!

Cheesecake, Shopping, Late...late...late Night, Sleepovers, Muddy, Laughter, Perma-grin, Friends....

things that describe the Dirty Dash. A couple of friends decided to run this talked about race and let me tell you it does not disappoint. Kelly Nixon was oh so kind and let us stay at her Condo up in Park City the night before the race. It was way fun and my Mom was able to come up (she just happened to be in Midway this weekend) and see me come through the finish line. I think I found mud in place I didn't think was even possible:)

 Me,Laurie and Deb

Looking nice and clean before the race

 Deb, Christie, Laurie, Me, Kelly and Brandy

 Look at these two girls clinging to the side so they don't get muddy

 I think these 3 girls did just the opposite

 Let the fun times begin...

 MUDDY MESS

Christie,Me,Deb,Laurie,Kelly and Brandy

Running through tunnels 

 This was HILARIOUS the little red thing behind Kelly's head was a big dude who decided to cannon ball these "clean" girls!!

 We got to be kids again while crossing the monkey bars.

I will tell you those aren't as fun when you are older

WE DID IT!!

GIRL'S NIGHT!!

A couple of girls from the neighborhood decided to go to Cheesecake Factory for all the girls who had Birthday's in May. It was a fun night with lots of laugh and pictures. I feel so blessed to live in a neighborhood that I feel like all the girls are truly good friends to me, I love all you girls!! Big thanks to Bob who watched my kids for me so I could go (Quinn was out of town). Whose friends husband would be willing to watch my kids for me...mine do? :)

 THE GIRLS

Kelli, Taryn, Baby Kendyl, Andrea, Debbie, Deb, Holly, Ambur and cute, tiny Stefanie up front (plus she's pregnant)

 What a GREAT group!

 It was Deb's Birthday so she got a pretty plate for her Cheesecake

This girl (Deb) is truly one of the BEST people in the world. She is so willing to help you at a moments notice, loves me for me, most honest, caring, non-judgemental person you will ever meet. I feel so blessed to become such good friends with her and her family. I could go on and on about her but I will stop and hope that someday you could all get to know her. Love you Deb!!

CABIN/YELLOWSTONE

Over Memorial Day we headed up to Island Park for a relaxing getaway of hiking, fishing, scavenger hunts outside, rhino riding, canoeing BUT the weather thought differently and was raining/snowing in the 30's and FREEZING cold. So instead we were stuck inside with LOTS of kids so we had to make our own fun. 

Look how beautiful though

So we Hot tubed

Peyton and Kam

and of course we made the Dad's take the kids

We decided to try a run and let me tell you that high altitude kicked my butt.

Lindsey, Laurie and Me

YELLOWSTONE

After being stuck in the Cabin for a full day I told Quinn he had to take me somewhere so we decided to try Yellowstone. Maybe the weather would be nicer up there...right? WRONG we were in a mixture of rain at times and at other times a FULL on BLIZZARD. So we pretty much drove around but was still fun. After we went to the IMAX theater to watch a show on Alaska. It was fun and got Quinn excited for his trip to Alaska coming up.

These little dudes just decided to walk down the middle of the street like they owned it

Seeing the geysers from inside the car

We did jump out real quick to see this waterfall

The G Family

All of us (don't mind Ben's hand signal)

MY BABY IS GROWING UP!!

How can my baby be heading to Kindergarten? Little Miss P graduated with flying colors from Preschool. They had a cute little Graduation program and then she got to pick where to eat and she picked Training Table.

 Proud parents of our baby girl

 Goodbye Preschool hello Kindergarten

Insert :) face for Peyton :( face for Mom

 She even had a little speaking part about the month of February

The lighting was horrible so don't mind the freaky eyes!!

 She did so good with all the songs and sung her heart out

Ready for the next big chapter

ST. GEORGE/MOTOCROSS

A while back we headed down South to go to the Motocross finals in Las Vegas. We spent 2 nights in St. George then we left little Miss P at home with Gram's and headed down. The boys spent the day shuttling Stefanie and I to mall after mall, so we returned the favor by going to Motocross with them.

It was a fun night/weekend!!

 The boys all tried their luck at making a basket from the deck and I am happy to report they all succeeded!!

 Playing on the court

LAS VEGAS

 Poor little buddy was so tired by the end of the night he was out

Getting ready for the "BIG" event
