MY BABY!!

How can it be that another year has come and gone and she is in her last year of Preschool before she heads off to BIG girl School!! I changed her School this year and was a little nervous how she would be but she did AWESOME. I went to go walk her up to the door and she informed me that "I am big enough to do it myself Mom" so off my little girl went:( She has enjoyed everything about it and gets so excited for Preschool days!!

So sassy

Off she goes:(

Luckily I had Chase with me so I didn't come home to a empty house and want to cry!!

Some of Peyton's favorite things about Preschool in her own words:

* Likes to play with toys *Likes her friends there * Likes to learn new stuff * Likes her teacher

HIKING

We headed up on Labor Day to go hiking up Dog Lake. We have been watching my friends little guy for the last 8 days but I thought we would give it a try. We were a little mis informed on how long the hike was so after about 3 miles up and Chase starting to lose it Quinn and I decided to head back down and wait for them so Chase could fall asleep in the car. So after all that hiking we didn't even get to see the actual lake but at least Caleb did.

Grandpa and Caleb finally reaching the lake.

At least it had some pretty views

My little hikers before mile one

Chase happy and digging the backpack

Caleb collecting a walking stick

This was how the poor guy ended the hike, he looked so uncomfortable.

BEE'S GAME

My Mom's work had some extra tickets to the game and she invited us but had 2 more extra tickets so the kids got to invite a friend. Caleb picked Zach and Peyton at first picked Deb which is Annie's Mom and when I told her probably not Deb she was pretty sad and then said "fine I will take Annie" We were lucky enough to stay in a suite so we had unlimited food and drinks to keep the kids entertained!!

Zach and Caleb before the game started

Peyton and Annie munching on their food.

Everyone in the suite

Caleb, Zach, My Mom, Kelly, Quinn, Crystal and Rory

Quinner and me

Zach and Caleb with their sweet shirts. We went to go get a snow cone and of course the spinning wheel caught their eye and this is the awesome prize they scored.

"Prostate Cancer" good thing they have no idea what Prostate Cancer is!!

Me, Quinn, My cousin Crystal and her husband Rory

Don't worry the girls ended up with the shirts as well!!

Peyton, Annie, Caleb and Zach

My sister Lindsey was there but sitting somewhere else but she came and grabbed the girls and took them on the train and to get their faces painted, the game was not necessarily interesting for them:)

Annie and Peyton looking cute with their artwork!!

IT'S WHAT FUN IS!!

Quinn won some tickets to Lagoon in a raffle at a Golf tournament. So Quinn being the gentlemen gave me the tickets and said have fun with the kids (He hates, hates Lagoon)!!

I talked Laurie into coming with me as well. I didn't tell my kids anything and so that morning I sent Caleb off to School and at lunch time I went and checked him out. He already thought that was the coolest thing ever and then we showed up at Lagoon and he was way excited!!

The kiddos going on the first ride.

I like to think of that ride as the death chamber, it was one of those dumb ones that go around and around really fast. Me and Laurie wanted off immediately the kids thought it was the coolest thing. Why is it that when you get old you can't stand things that spin?

Peyton waiting in line for her favorite ride. I don't remember any of the names, but it reminded her of Ariel!!

After getting off the last spinning ride and not feeling the hottest I made Laurie take them on Tilt A World!!

Caleb and Peyton on the Skyscraper

How can these two be related? Look at his skin compared to porcelain white Peyton:)

Peyton and Kam getting ready to go on Puff

Peyton and Caleb on the swings

I was surprised how tuff Peyton was on going on some of the bigger rides and Caleb is still a little shorty and couldn't quite go on some of them, there is always next year buddy!!

All in all fun day and two tired Mommy's!!

MOVIE NIGHT!!

We had our neighbor's over last week for a movie night and to keep the kids out of are movie we set up their own fort/movie theater. They had all the fixins: Redbox Movie, Popcorn, Drink, and of course a candy to finish it off.

The best part I never heard a word from them and when we were done with our movie I went upstairs and they were fast asleep!!

HaPpY BiRThDaY tO mE!!

Last year in my 20's so I wanted to go out with a bang so what did I do? I started the day off by my awesome friend Laurie coming to get Peyton so I could go shopping with NO kids, gotta love that!! Then my sweet neighbor Taryn threw me a party that all my neighbor's came to, thanks to all that came and made my Birthday special. Then my sweet neighbor Deb took Peyton again so that I could go back shopping. Why is it when you have money to spend you can't find ANYTHING and when you don't you find the cutest things?

Then that night we went to good old Texas Roadhouse with our friends Ben and Laurie and their kids!!

Me mounting the saddle, this was a HUGE reason I did NOT want to go to Roadhouse but I love the food so I gave in. Peyton made me this awesome Birthday crown to wear while everyone was looking at me. Notice how happy Peyton is in the back ground that I was wearing her crown.

I hate attention on me so I was soooo embarrassed and to top it off I had a beautiful crown!!

Peyton and I wearing the "work of art"

Me with all the kiddos

Me, Peyton, Kam, Hailey and Caleb poor Chase got cut out.

Then we ended the night with some yummy Frogurt. Perfect Birthday spending time with family and friends. Once again thank you for all the calls, texts, and facebook messages I loved them all!!

LAKE POWELL!!

Loving the warm water

Chillin in the hotel room with Grandpa while wearing his glasses. She came in to tell me "I am a cool dude"

Getting ready to ski for the first time

Daddy and his kids

Only a face and hair a mother could love

Watching Dad ski...

he was feeling pretty confident and was trying to go outside the wake like Dad

Hey look I can even wave

CRASH

After last experience on the knee board this little girl is done with all things behind the boat. We asked her if she would just sit on the tube and with A LOT of bribing she agreed to that and then Quinn turned the boat on and it was OVER she was ready to bail.

I love this picture she is ready to get the crap off this tube, Grandpa's holding onto her life vest to prevent her from bailing and Caleb is holding his ears because this girl can let out a scream like you have never heard!!

Caleb showing off by standing up

Tate and Caleb waiting for Gramps to come tubing with them

Tate obviously a little bored, Grandpa and Caleb
