Went Camping on the Rim this Weekend.

Man it was so good to get out of the heat this weekend. We went camping for Johnny's work retreat this weekend right outside of Payson on the Rim. It was nice and cool, and for whatever reason whenever we deciede to go camping we always bring the rain with us. It rained alot but the trip was still really fun, luckily we brought a canopy and a tarp to cover us. We also rode our atv's all around the mountian, the girls couldnt get enough of it!

Here's Johnny and the girls around the campfire after having smores.

Lilly was forever getting dirty or she was getting into the food, I'm glad I brought extra pairs fo clothes for her and Abby.

Here's Johnny with his friends playing show and tell. It was so funny they started talking about their guns and then they all had to go and get there guns to show them off to each other, it was funny.

Here's us atving!

Here's me and my new ATV! It was fun, I cant wait to go camping again!

Venice Beach in Sunny Cali!

It was such an awesome day to go to the beach, what a way to end our vacation!

W played in the sand. Mostly Lilly and me because we couldnt get Abby out of the water. Last time we were at the beach we couldnt get her to get in and this time we couldnt get her to get out! Now the cycle countinues because we could get Lilly to get in, so Lilly and I spent time in the sand.

My girls are the cutiest in the whole wide world!

Disney Land Trip in July

Our first day at Disney Land, Abby wanted to anything and everything all at once. It was a very busy and fun day.

Then Abby and Lilly wanted mickey hats that everyone else had and of course they chose the princess one, and although you cant see it their names are on the back. And of course they only wore them fro about 5 mins after we got them!

Then on the 2nd day at Disney Land it was Abby's birthday and we went to her princess dinner with the princesses. She had so much fun, the primcessess went around to all the tables and took pictures with everyone, it was Abby's highlight of the day.

Ariel

Belle

and Aurora. There was also Snow White and Cinderella. She had a lot of fun. I dont think that two days for Disney land is enough, next time we go it will be at least for 3 or 4 days if we can afford it.

In Snowflake for the 24th Celebration.

Sorry I'm really bad at posting on the blog but I finally got some pictures!. Here we are at the parade and all the kids are playing around. It was so fun up there, it was hot but not to hot and the kids got tons of candy. Just what I need.

Heres Johnny and I goofing around! He's my hubby.

When the parade was done we went back to grandma's house and all the kids got in their suits and went into the back yard to play in the house and the little pool that grandma has out back. I swear the whole entire time we were in Snowflake the kids were in the back yard playing. It was so much fun.

AHHH Snowflake!

Guitar Hero!

Yes! I've rediscovered that I like Guitar Hero. We had Family Home Evening with our friends and it was way fun! Aubrey and I kind of took over the game from the boys and played the night away. We had tons of fun, you rock Aubrey!

Splash Pad Fun!

We went to the San Tan Splash Pad the other day for the first time, and the girls really loved it, it was fun watching them.

I think that Lilly had more fun then Abby did, she started screaming when we tried to tell her it was time to come home.

Dress Up Fun!

I think every kid has to go through this stage in their life. Abby loves going in my closet and coming out to show me what she dressed in. She looks so funny. And of course Lilly has to do everything her sister does, but she kept on running away from me so I could get a good picture.

AHH Mother's Day!

This year was the first year that Abby actually understood mothers day and she talked about it all week! Yesterday she got me red roses and this morning she woke up and gave me a mothers day card and some chocolate. It was really cute I love her so much! Sadly Johnny had to work today so I didnt get to sleep in but thats ok because he got me my mothers day present already. I wanted my piano tuned and he let me get it done and my piano sounds like a new piano! I love it. Thanks Johnny.

Arrgh! Facebook!

Well I finally did, I joined face book, and already I feel like it has sucked me in! "Just when I think I'm out, they pull my back in!"Between facebbok and blogging I have a feeling that I'm going to turn into a computer nerd! What is the worl coming to! AHHH!

Well Lilly's done it!

Well I'm suprised that Lilly hasnt figured this out until now, but Sunday she figured out how to take off her diaper. At first she only got it half way off, and then we saw her and started laughing, so she then proceeded to run around the house like that, then she pulled it off completly and was running around naked. It was so funny it was very hard to scold her!

Fun at the park.

We went to the park the other day and it so happened I had the camera and got good pics of the girls! We had snacks at the park and they played. It was fun being

able to go to the park with the girls again.

Lilly also decieded that she needed to put on Abby's helmet and it was quite funny trying to watch her take it off.

She's so funny, before she tried to take it off she tried to get on Abby's bike, when she figured she couldn't do it, she then demanded that she wanted the helmet off. She has to everything her sister does.

Done with Student Teaching!

I'm finally done with student teaching. It was an awesome experience, I learned so much about teaching and what went on behind the scenes. I now know why my mom was always so busy and tired. It takes a lot out of you but it's so worth it. I made a lot of good friends in the process. The teacher that I student taught for helped me out in so many ways, I'll never be able to repay her for all the help and advice she helped me with, I'm so grateful to her. I will miss the students as well, they have become to mean so much to me, they are truly a great bunch of students I will never forget. They made me laugh so many times and were truly a help to me. I will miss them and my teacher as well.
I'm glad that I'm done though, I have missed my kids so much even though it was only three months that I had to teach. Its great to be home!

More easter in Snowflake

Today we had an Easter Egg Hunt out in Johnny's mom and dad's back yard with all the grandkids. Once again Abby was fastest to gather all the eggs, we had to tell her to slow down because ther other kids werent getting enough eggs. But they had a fun time.

All the grand kids after the egg hunt and as you can see Abby's basket is the fullest!

Easter in Snowflake

Every year for easter we go up to snowflake and participate in their Easter Egg Hunt at the golf course. And this year was Lilly's first year that she could participate. It was so cute, at first it took her a little bit to figure it out but then she was picking them up, but then she figured out that there was something in the egg, so she would pick up each egg and then proceed to open the egg and empty out the contents! My kids!

You should have seen Abby though, she was a speed demon, she ran like the wind picking up all the eggs she could get her hands on. But over all the kids had a great time, and now their teeth are going to rot because of all the candy they've gotten.

We also went to Johnny's brothers game in Pine Top and the girls had a blast unitl they were cold and made me go sit in the car until the game was done. The girls made their dad buy them suckers and they got all messy espically Lilly.

She's so cute it takes my breath away sometimes!

My sister just got married!

On March 14th my younger sister got married in the Salt Lake Temple! It was a very exciting and sad day. She was so happy and her dress was gorgeous, but I wish that my mom would have been there to see her get married.

I got to be her one of her brides maids which all sisters want to do! I lover her so much.

And guess what I got to dress up my girls! They were so cute and everyone was coming up to me to say how cute the girls were, and it made me feel so good.

I'm Bad at Blogging! Sorry!

Sorry guys I feel that I have no time these days to sit down and blog. With going to school full time plus having homework for the university and them my kids, the blog gets put on the back burner these days. As soo as school is done I promise I will make more time!

I started Student Teaching!

I finally started student teaching at the begining of this month and so far its been great. I'm teaching 5th grade and it's a new experience for me, but its fun. I love seeing all of your kids around school. I say hi to them and sometimes they look at me and are like who are you and why are you talking to me! Its funny. So I just wanted to update everyone, more to come!
