happy birthday to me

I am now 28. I had a great birthday. I had a girls night out to see New Moon. It was a lot of fun. I came home to roses on the porch, My favorite ice cream, and gifts, Oh and the house was really clean. I was surprised because Travis was in New York. He thinks of every thing. He is so thoughtful.

I got a text from him asking me if I thought my gift would match our bed spread. I went to look at the bed. He had come home early and pretty much freaked me out. We really missed him. He was my best birthday present. I also got a awesome backpack for my climbing gear and new running shoes. The kids decorated the house and surprised me. We had such a fun day.

We had a great thanksgiving. Liz cooked all the food. So of course everything tasted great. We went and played baseball after words. It has been a while since we have played baseball.

Lately we have been into rock climbing. We took Angie and her kids out. We like to go to Dixie rock. Again Kaley and Joe made it to the top. Joe was barefoot. Sometimes he would just have his two toes holding him up. Kaley is such a good climber. I remember when she was about 2 we went out. She was good at climbing then. She has so much upper body strength.

Primary appointment

Ari's appointment always takes about 8 hours. Amber had the day off so she came to visit with us. It was so fun to see her. It was actually a fun appointment. I was so hopeful that we would not need blood this time. She gets quite a bit of energy for a few days after getting blood.

The clinic gave her this hat. She looks so cute.

As soon as she got in the car she was out. It had been quite a long day.

FHE Rock Climbing

We took the kids rock climbing for FHE. Travis had them tied to him also, so they were pretty safe. It was fun watching them get scared and then seeing the triumph in there faces after having made it down. The best was watching Dannie go down military style.
































We all went climbing afterwords. Kaley was the only one who made it to the top. She did great. I love how climbing makes you feel strong. Of course We all felt like jello after.

Ari's hair

She has only really lost her hair in the back. I don't think she will loose it all.

BACON BACON

Arianna eating bacon. A piece of the bacon was hanging out and she thought it was hilarious.

Learning to Crawl

Ari and I have been learning how to crawl. We even made it up the stairs the other day. Her face was full of gratification. She had conquered the stairs. Hopefully walking won't be too far behind.

Kim sales the cutest hair stuff. This is one of them. I love the hats! They had a boutique. They would have done great but they had a bummer turn out.

11 Awesome Years

This year we went repelling. For those who don't know are first date was repelling and Travis also asked me to marry him on the edge of a cliff. We used to go repelling and climbing quite a bit. One time i got my hair caught in the rope. It has been a long time since we have gone. I have to say it was a little scary going again. We both loved it and had a great time. We should have gone a long time ago, but better late then never.

It was beautiful. We went at Dixie Rock. There are so many places around St George to go. Hopefully we will go often enough that we won't get hart attacks every time.

I am so lucky to be married to Travis. I feel so bad that his life is so stressful. I have so much gratitude knowing he could just let it all go any day , knowing that would be so much easier then putting up with everything, but he doesn't and it is all because he loves us and wants us to be comfortable, and provide for us the best way possible. We are all so spoiled. My life really is so wonderful, and it is all because of him. It isn't just me either he helps so many people.

He is an AWESOME father. Right now he is at the park playing football with Taylor. He is always takes the kids, so i can have a break, Even though his day has been much more stressful then mine.

He always makes me feel so beautiful and amazing. I think everyone needs that in there life to feel that they are important and loved, and he always does that for me. I really am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lucky. I love him so much. I really wish he new how much. Some times he is just way to hard him self. I wish he could just see him self through my eyes.

It has been an awesome 11 years!!!

Family Home Eve

We went skating for family evening. At the end it was just me and Taylor. We skated till it was to dark to see. We had so much fun. We had to have Dannie pick us up. Dannie is living with us now. I love having her, she is so much fun. She brought me to zumba, it was hilarious and so much fun. Mom, Jamie, Alise, Joe, Dannie, and I were all there. Talk about comedy hour. I loved it!

Our ward has a DI drive every 6 months. So this whole week I have been going through every inch of our house organizing and throwing stuff away. It is so nice to be able to just put all our stuff on the driveway and that's that. I figured it is a great excuse to dejunk our house. I love the feeling of having my house be organized. A house of order and all that great stuff.

During all my cleaning I realized that I had not mopped the floor in months, but yet it still gets done. I believe Travis and Kaley our the culprit's, they spoil me. Kaley has her Dad's love for cleaning and it really makes my life so much easier. I think Alaina will inherit it also. Taylor's room is always clean. He would rather own nothing and have it stay clean then worry about to much stuff.

The kids have been swimming still. I think they are crazy but they love it. Travis is always pushing them in the pool. He is to strong and never gets close enough for anyone to get him back. Travis pushed Taylor in the pool, fully dressed and as he went to help him out, It was just to tempting, I had to do it. It would have been perfect if he hadn't had his phone in his pocket. It was worth it though. HE HE HE

Family. It's all about time.

Taylor and Tawnya came down to go scuba diving. They are so fun to be around. After they were done they came back and helped the kids dive in the pool. It was so cold.



When we were up in Salt Lake the Kids came to spend a few days with us. We went to see the sights. I love temple square./

Arianna's Birthday

She made to age 2 YEA!!! She had a good birthday. She ended up getting tons of stuff. Everyone spoils her pretty good. I think she deserves it. She has been so good about all the torture she goes through.

She loves Dora. Ammon And Hayley got her a Dora movie, witch she has seen about 50 times and has memorised. She knows when to catch the crown for Marianna, She knows when to tell swiper no swiping, and yell backpack. It is quite a fun thing watching her watch it. It takes me back to when Kaley was Little. She loved Dora also.
