Down on the Farm- for a good cause

One of our friends is having open heart surgery. So we went to a fund raiser to help out the family. It was such a fun experience for my total 'city slickers' family!

 

Reunited with our favorite girls!

It's been a few years since we have seen these two girls, Leah and Reyanna- and oh how we have missed them! We had so much fun catching up with them, and the kids were just as excited to see them. They have been through so much and have had to rely on each other for everything. I love the strength of these two girls. I only hope I can raise my kids to be as courageous, brave, and smart as these two.  

 

So glad we can be back together with them, and as Leah pointed out, the Family sign in the back is just perfect for this picture<3 p="">

Last Day of School 2013

We had a great school year! Haylee finished up 3rd grade and was sad to leave Mrs. Davidson's class. She is such a fun, cute teacher. She and Claudia have been BFF's since they were 5. Where does the time go?

 

Evan came home with this cute picture on the last day of school. It melts my heart to see this. Love him!

We went to Kolson's new house to eat pizza and swim. The boys were crazy as always, but had a good time. Until- Cade decided to jump on a long board and skate down the street. He couldn't stop and ended up completely crashing. He tore up all of his toes, and had a bad gash on the side of his abdomen. We bandaged him all up, but he was pretty sore for about a week. I can't believe I forgot to get a picture! I'm sure he won't ever forget it though!!

Kickin' off summer at the Condo!

Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins came out for Evan's Kindergarten graduation. They stayed in their condo, and we had 2 fun days of swimming, BBQing, and floating in the lazy river. Definitely a great way to start our summer!

 

End of Summer *Staycation*

We decided to take advantage of being locals, and went with Eric and Stephanie to the Golden Nugget. They have a beautiful pool, with a waterslide that goes right through a shark tank. Awesome!

Cade hanging out with Brielle. So sweet.

We left the hotel to go to In N Out for dinner. Suprisingly, in August, it was acutally cool enough to eat outside. Weird, I don't think we have ever done that!

Later that night, we decided to go on the Zip Line on Freemont Street. Cade was so nervous, and Haylee was dying to go on it. She was too small though, so she couldn't go. She was pretty bummed out:(

Steph took this picture of us as we were on it- and I love it! We had so much fun- and Cade said he couldn't wait to go again:)

A Splashin' Good Time!

Another year, another birthday for my boys!

Cade turned 12

Bryce proved 33 isn't too old!!

Evan turned 6 (Not sure why these pictures are so out of order??)

I can't believe my boys are getting so big! Cade is ready to get the priesthood, and more than ready to move into Young Men's. Evan can't wait to go to Kindergarten. He has been so ready for a while now. I do love my boys!

 

 

This party was such a blast. Some people in our ward own this pool, and rent it out. This will definitely be a yearly event! We all had so much fun:) Now if only I could figure out how to add the video of the mom's jumping off the waterfall?? At least it's on FB;)

Happy 33rd Birthday Bryce!

They say pictures are worth a thousand words.... Yep. This sums up my crazy family:) Happy Birthday babe! Love you more than ever:)

Pioneer Days

Our annual family picture:) I am still amazed every year at how much older the kids look each time we take this picture! Time really does fly!!

Love these kiddos!

This year Evan was dying to do the dunk tank. Haylee dunked him on her first shot!
