San Diego.....

This last week my mom took, my sisters and I to San Diego for a girls trip. My Dad is taking the boys to Alaska next week and offered to send us on a girls trip :) Thanks so much mom and dad it was a great relaxing vacation...that was exactly what I needed after last semester. We flew out Monday morning, after we got there and to our hotel we went and had lunch, bought some groceries for snacking and b-fast, then drove to La Jolla, shopped, got pedicures and had dinner!! Tuesday we went to Disneyland....I know w/o kids...I couldn't tell them I was going, and actually didn't want to go,but it was a lot of fun. My mom got us reservations @ Club 33, a private club,there are not a lot of members....so thanks to my moms friend who has connections we were able to eat there. This was my second time eating there...the first was a few years ago and we had Preslie with us...she was 2, it was so stressful all you could think and worry about was her breaking a nice piece of china...this time was much more relaxing and enjoyable. After lunch we walked around some more, and went on a few rides. After getting there and seeing how crowded it was,I was glad that my kids weren't with me. I think everyone was trying to fit in their summer vacation be fore school started. Wednesday we spent the day at the beach and then drove into Old Town for some Mexican food and shopping. Thursday we drove to La Jolla for lunch and then went to San Diego Zoo...that place puts Hogle Zoo to shame,you need atleast two days to see it all..very nice. Friday we spent at the beach again and then went on a ferry across the bay and went to a Luau, that was a lot of fun. We came home Saturday!! It was a lot of fun to spend time with my mom and sisters!! Thanks Again :) I wasnt great about taking pics..

Life's a Beach....

Finally I had a break from school so a couple of Friday's ago it was our friends daughter's b-day and they invited us to go to the Herriman beach for a couple hours with Tana and the kids, & Cindy,Peyton and Houston. It was a lot of fun, and not too crowded!! The kids had a blast playing with each other like always! Thanks again Tana for the invite :)

Fullmer Grandkid Pics....

Here are the grand kids pictures, they turned out SO cute...Thanks again Evonne we love you!!

Family Pics....

About a month ago we did our family pics, and did pics of the grandkids for my parents....As you can imagine trying to take a 2yr old picture in 94 degree weather and in the late afternoon, and then causing mom (me) stressing about trying to make it perfect....we had a rough time getting all the pictures we wanted...but thanks to Evonne and her patients waiting for Colter to cooperate, we did get some!! Thanks again you are so awesome :) Here are just a few of my favorites!!

Hogel Zoo...

For Preslie's b-day we decided to take the kids to the zoo,and then went and had lunch at Guadalahonky's with Jake, Tana, Hallie and Hazen. We went early to try and avoid the heat and the rush. The kids had a lot fun..and it's always fun to see the baby animals. Thanks Jake and Tana for going with us..we had a ton of fun!!

Horse Show...FiNaLLy

We finally made it to a horse show for Preslie this year. Silver Spur's put on a horse show at Riverton arena...Preslie did the walk and trot and won a medal...she was SO excited. She also did speed barrels, Poles and Barrels. She did so good and is starting to get her confidence built back up...for some reason this year she acted like she had never been on a horse,but she is doing much better the more and more we ride!! Colter was a little menace and thought it was fun to take off running all around the horses..this kid has NO fear...so thanks to G-ma Claud and Papa Larry...they saved us and Colter from a REALLY long night. He ended up going to their house, riding the 4-wheelers, helping dad put water on the pasture, and taking the dogs swimming in the canal..he was in heaven!! Thanks again mom & dad for helping us out with the kids so much!!

Preslie's Birthday.....

What better way to celebrate a birthday, than to celebrate ALL month long. Thats what we did for Preslie's birthday!! We started out the month by celebrating Preslie and Dyson's birthday with my family...then it was her actual b-day and we had a little party with just us. The next weekend was time to celebrate with Hadley's family. I promised her that this year she could have a friends party....so we ended the month with that. She had A LOT of fun and got spoiled. Thank you to all of our families and friends for celebrating this special day(s) with us!!

HaPpY 4th...

For the first time in years, we actually stayed home and enjoyed the parade, and fireworks. We usually spend it in Ruby Valley, or at Rodeo. I will admit it...the kids and I miss Hadley rodeoing, the summer just isn't as fun. This year we went to the Parade in Riverton with Kallie, Kendall, Kyler and Kensley. They had a lot of fun. We took the kids to see Toy Story 3...so cute,and Colter actually did really good, we only had to leave the theater once..lol!! Then we went up on Sunday to see Hadley's family camping up at Strawberry and went fishing for a few hours. It was nice to be home and enjoy the festivities..

Colter got bored, and this is how Hadley entertained him.
Colter was in heaven, we pulled him out screaming!!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy...COLTER

WoW...Colter turned 2 the end of June. He is such a character, and a little monster. He keeps us very busy and laughing all of the time. He would spend all playing with trucks,tractors and anything that he can pull behind them. He loves Toy Story..especially Buzz Lightyear...we love to sit and watch him watch the movies, he gets so excited and is always saying, "to infinity and beyond", he is so funny!! We are so glad that we have been blessed to have in our family. We celebrated with both families and then got pizza, had cupcakes and went swimming the day of his b-day.

Father's Day

Fathers Day @ G-pa and G-ma Bennett's. The kids were in heaven.They played in the water and we had a GREAT dinner. I know this is a little over due,but I am so grateful for all of the father figures that are in my life. For my dad and what a great example he is to all of us. I don't know what I would do without him. I am grateful for my father-in-law for raising a great son, husband and father. I am so thankful that my kids have such a kind, patient and loving dad!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY..Late!!

Fun in the Sun

The kids have just been enjoying the sun and playing in the water every chance they get. Hadley finally got the sandbox done, and it is the best babysitter. Colter would play in it all day, if I let him.

Preslie......

In May, Preslie decided that she wanted to play soccer. We signed her up in Herriman. Preslie and Raylee were on a team together. She had so much fun, and it was so good to see her be a little more aggressive than she was with T-ball. At the end of May she graduated from Rising Star Pre- School. They put on a program every year of what they have learned and she was especially excited this year because they learned how to play a pre-corder, and they got to preform for all of us. We are so proud of her,she is growing up so much, I cant believe it!! We love you Preslie...
