TAGGED

So Jo tagged me and here are the rules: Link the person who tagged you --mention rules on your blog--tell about 6 quirks of yours--tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same--leave a comment to let them know. I tag Kara, Malissa, Stephanie B., Crystal, Ally, Krishel Six quirks about me: 1. I am pretty sure I am obsessive compulsive about having my house clean and organized...I spend every spare minute cleaning it seems most of the time. The sad thing is that Riley is totally taking after me, she is constantly asking me for a rag while she is eating so that she can wipe the counter off if she spills! 2. I love salsa so much that I will even eat it plain. Jason thinks this is totally gross, but the thing that bugs him the most is I will pour me a bowl and eat it while we are laying in bed. He gets so mad at me. 3. I procrastinate with almost everything. I never do anything in advance. This is the cause for my high stress. If I would only start things sooner instead of putting them off until later. 4. I have a bit of a temper that usually only comes out with Jason and my family. Most of the time I am very selfish with it, I refuse to admit that anything is ever my fault, the fault is always everyone elses. 5. I am a sucker for Riley. Pretty sure she is a brat because I always give in and spoil her. I even criticize Jason if I think he is being too hard on her. I need to do better at this I have created a monster. 6. I love to play games. Any game. My family plays games almost every sunday night some of our favorites are Rainbow, Hand and Foot, Settlers and UNO. We would stay up playing all night if we could but as Jason says some of us have to get up early for work. He obviously thinks that I get to sleep all morning.

THE HOGLE ZOO

To finish off our Labor Day weekend we went to the zoo. We had such a fun day, it was perfect weather and not very crowded because it had rained that morning. Riley LOVED the animals and was such a good sport. I think her very favorite part was riding on the carousal (hope I spelled that right) Pa bought all of the grandkids a ride! Afterward Pa took us to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory, YUMMY.

BEAR LAKE

Well, I am finally gettting some posts done!! Yeah! Over Labor Day weekend we went camping at Bear Lake with my family. We had a great time, we rented some wave runners and spent Friday at the beach. Riley loved playing in the sand and she loved that she could go out so far in the water. She also loved the wave runner!

Riley's Ashey! Riley loves to play with her cousins. Brynn and Ashley are two very good big cousins to her! Kenzie and Riley on the other hand have their differences! But if you watch them quietly they play very cute together!

We're Back

So...I knew I wouldn't be very good at this blogging thing. A few new things about us, I have been trying to get rid of Riley's binky for a while now...but let me tell you I don't have the heart for it. So the other day she was crying for it and I was so mad that I cut it off right in front of her, she just laughed at me and said "Mom you cut it?". She doesn't care she still wants them. Someday I will be brave and go cold turkey but until then my 2 year will still have her binky. She is in a big girl bed now though and that is going well. Hopefully I will get some pictures and activities posted soon! Don't give up on me.

Thanks to Brandon

I just wanted to let you all know my basement is for the most part finished. Thanks to the very talented and amazing Brandon! I am so excited to have the toys downstairs so that I can open my front door with confidence! We love it and are enjoying it so much, there are pics in the slideshow!

The Basement

Congrats!!

I just wanted to shout out congrats (a little bit late) to our great friends the Hatch's. Ryan, Crystal and Mayli welcomed their new little baby girl Breelyn on the 20th of July! I have only seen pictures so far but she is sure adorable. Congratulations you guys we love you!

I guess Riley is deathly afraid of fish? We had no clue she normally loves fishies but she sure didn't like this one at all!

This is one of the many fish Jason caught while he and Ryan were fishing on our trip.

Camping Trip

So this is a little bit late but toward the end of June we went camping with our good friends the Hatch's. Riley and their little girl Mayli are only 1 month apart in age and they love each other.

On the way down we stopped at Thanksgiving Point and went through the petting zoo and let the girls ride the ponys! They had so much fun.

Happy Anniversary

So Jason and I just celebrated our sixth anniversary. My how time flies! Jason was so cute and planned a fun trip for us to Vegas. It was a great getaway and we had a good time. Even though I am very fat and pregnant we had a blast. Thanks Jas for being such a great husband. Here are some pics of our fun trip.

Here I go...

Well for a while now I have been contemplating starting a blog for our family. I never really wanted one until all the girls at work started them. It was so fun to read everyone's and keep up on what was going on. So I decided I would give it a try and Jason thought it was a good idea so I can post pictures and tell stories about what a good dad he is!! He had been looking at everyone elses and was jealous of all the comments I guess! Hopefully I will keep it up since I am not good at keeping much of anything up. We'll see how it goes...
