Family Vacation


Okay so I know I said I would post pictures of my trip to Idaho and then I didn't ..... life is crazy, trying to get into a new routine with Ashlyn being in school! Well we are a good 2 weeks into school and we are starting to settle in with homework and playtime and then bedtime.
I just want to take a minute and just say that I love my family.... we are all in such different places in our lives but we love each other so much and we are there for one another and this makes me very happy, although I live far away and have a life here I know that I also have a place in the hearts of my family back home.


I enjoyed spending a week with my sister Megan and her family we had such a great time and she kept us busy with all sorts of fun things! I am so grateful for her and the way she loves me... I love you too girl!


They took us to Cherry Hill a water park with water slides and a lazy river! Ashlyn had so much fun with her cousins!
Oh how cute me and my sister Meggy
That was a fun week. We went from Meagon's house to my moms house in Twin Falls and met my sister Amber and her kids there and had a fun week with my mom and her.... meagon had to get back to her hubby. Amber and I had so much fun together... I miss living in the same house so that we can share cloths and do each others hair!

So we took our kids bowling and there was no one to take a picture of me and my sister but me so this is how it turned out.... our little ones were like what the heck, but we did it! Brook is so stick en cute! I am so lucky because not only do I have my sister Meagon but I have my sister amber as well I love her so much and am so glad that we are sisters! I love you girly! I have one other sister who is just as great.... she lives in Texas and I miss her and her kiddos I wish we saw each other more, thank heavens for blogs!


Here are some pictures of the kids bowling! Carter and Ashlyn were so cute and they played so well together!


I don't know if you noticed but my little Ashlyn likes posing for the camera each pix she is striking a pose.... oh what a drama queen.
I always have a wonderful time visiting my sisters and I love spending time with them and their kids, I also love spending time with my mom and dad they are such great parents and I love them so much.... I love getting to know them as an adult I feel so lucky to have them as teachers throughout my life, I can appreciate that now that I am grown and have my own kids!

I love seeing my parents with my kids its like the circle is complete we are one big happy family and I love it! I love my mother she one of the most selfless people I know, and I have always been a daddy's girl there is just something about him that owes me... he know just the right things to say he knows how I think a little scary sometimes but I am sure that comes in handy because I can be a little crazy at times. I love you all and thanks for loving my hubby and my kids, and making it such a great visit.... until the next time.... and yes this is a formal invitation to my family to come and visit me here in calil!

I love this video of my mom playing with Collin its so cute!

Summer!

ok so I haven't posted in quite some time but to my defense I was gone for two weeks visiting my family in Idaho! I had a great time, then as soon as I got back I was off again at the beach and then we went to our friends wedding.... it was a great way to end the summer! Ashlyn is on her third day of kindergarten and she loves it, wich makes easier on me!



I have so many pictures to post be prepared its gonna be a long post! I will start with what a blast we had at Brook and TJ and Jaylens wedding, jaylen is brooks son and they did such a good job at making him apart of the day... a shout out to how beautiful their wedding was we love you guys.





look how cute their family is!





Brook and I on her big day!






megan and I trying to cool down from dancing our booties off!



Chris and I getting ready to eat... yum yum.




Okay so my hubby let loose and decided that he was going to be a good sport and dance and have fun.... I thought it was great when he danced with me without having to beg him! Boy was I sure surprised when he came onto the dance floor wearing my heels, (I had to take them off so that I could dance more) and started dancing with me.. I couldn't believe it and at first I was a little embarrassed and then I was like did someone spike your drink babe? It was a great night!


All of his buddies were getting pictures on there cell phones they couldn't believe it either!



It was a fun night! I love hanging out with my friends they are all so good to me and it nice to be back home and know that even though my family is far away I have manage to make a pretty good one here in cali!
