OmAhA.....10 years

We were able to head back to Omaha this Spring for Kevin's 10 year reunion! WOW has it been 10 years?!?!?!?! It seems like yesterday we were living there and plugging through school! It was so much fun to go back and see friends and our old stomping grounds!! It was a fun get away for Kev and I!

Some of our friends at the Dinner!


Rob and Kevin had to take a trip to the Crescent Moon to enjoy their favorite Hot wings!



I got to spend some fun time with my cousin Mia who lives in Omaha! Mia and Brooklyn spent the day at the World Famous Henery Doorley Zoo with us! Then we had a fun dinner at Jams that night! Thanks for everything Mia! Our visit was cut short because they had to return to Utah for Bruce's Nephews Funeral.
Mia and I have so much fun when we are together! It is just like we are kids again! We are all praying that their family can move back to Utah!

I came home a day before Kevin to attend Ally's Dance Competition! He got to see more friends, hang with the guys and even take in 18 holes on a nice Omaha Golf Course! We look forward to the 20 Year Reunion and our next visit to good old OMAHA, NEBRASKA!!

Spring Showers!

We threw a Baby Shower for Mandy and her new baby girl! It was fun for me to get to hang out with the girls from the office! Where was JaNae hiding??

I made this yummy treat!!

15 years!!!

Happy Anniversary Babe!! I love you! Thanks for making marriage so fun and exciting! We always said we wanted go to Portugal for our 15th and we made it!!!! -- but who knew we would take our three kids with us!! Here is a picture our kids took of us in Portugal!

I want to go back BEFORE our 20th and maybe leave the kids home this time!!

Thanks for 15 wonderful years!

(The pictures from the rest of our trip are coming soon -- I promise)

Bear Lake..The Greatest Place on Earth

Beautiful kids and surroundings!! Mylee enjoying the sand and the toys!!!
Ally getting ready to dive off the boat!

Dallon getting ready...
almost up...
You did it!! Dallon is now a water skier! He had so much fun. He has caught the water skiing bug and cannot wait to return to beautiful Bear Lake!!

A rare picture of Mylee clean on the beach...she is usually covered from head to toe in sand!!
Our spread!! And boy are we thankful for Amber and Nate providing us our private beach to enjoy!! The secret is out on Bear Lake and the beaches are becoming more and more crowded!!

Amber and Nate threw the funnest party on the Beach...a 4th of July BBQ with an amazing Fireworks show!!

Ally and Natalee trying to drive the boat!
The hottest boat driver on Bear Lake!!

We love the time we get to spend at Bear Lake In the summer!! Who could ask for more, beautiful water, nice sand, sun, family and lots of fun!! My older two are moving from the sand to the water and on to the BOAT!! The babe on the other hand ate more than her weight in sand!!

Thanks to Amber and Nate for the use of your boat, beach and time!! And thanks to all our family for the great summer days at Bear Lake! We will be back soon!!

Now we are off for our BIG summer adventure of 2008....we decided to let Mylee try some sand in another part of the world... from the Mediterranean Ocean! We are so excited to visit England and Portugal! I just hope we can survive the long plane rides with 3 kids!!

Skiing.....Finally!!

After a few years of not skiing (baby, nursing) we got to go skiing again!! The Grensing's were in town for the President's Day weekend and the UNLV vs BYU game. So we took a day to go skiing!! After all the hard work of getting everyone in their gear, ski passes on, and on the lift we started to wonder if it was all worth it!! It was and I can't wait to go again!!! I forgot how much I love to ski, even if it is an easy hill like Chickadee! Michelle and all the kids just picked right back up where they left off! Just like riding a bike!! Dallon did awesome and has improved so much. Ally is still working on her confidence, but she has great skill. Here are some fun pictures of our day of skiing!!



And a Big Thanks to Kevin who stayed home with Tryce and Mylee!! Now I can't wait for Kev and I to have a Ski Day!!

Tagged!

This is hard for me because I usually don't put much about me on my blog. I would rather talk about my kids, husband, or my family. So here it is the best I can do about me!!

I am a sucker for: buying stuff for my kids, chocolate--anything chocolate, Tiapan(home decor store) chick flicks, shoes, the News, my KIDS.

My Worldly Desires: To be a size 4, to live in a LARGE house, to have everything in my life organized, to invent something that makes life easier for someone, a bigger closet, and a beautiful backyard that people will want to have wedding receptions in.

My prize possessions: Kevin, Dallon, Ally, and Mylee. My scrapbooks and pictures. My house(On a good day) my mom, my dates and vacations with Kevin.

I will never wear______again: my pants pegged, overalls, big bangs, and stirrup pants.

Things I Love: Sleep!!! A clean house, my family, parties, my DVR, giving gifts to others, planning trips, a date with Kevin, a good book and doing fun stuff with my family.

Things I Hate: Cold toes, my small kitchen, dirty kitchens, fixing my hair, getting out of bed, and when my cleaning lady is slow or doesn't show.

Randomness: I wish my mom and sisters lived in the same city as me. I want more hours in the day! I wish Exercise didn't take time. Why can't my dream house in the perfect neighborhood just fall into my lap??

I Finally Did It!
