Camping in moab

It was so fun to get away to Moab a couple weekends ago. Although in my mind I was a wee bit nervous, it turned out to be awesome and I can't wait to go back. Next time we know where the good campsites are! The girls loved seeing and climbing on all the rocks at Arches national park. They really did, that place is Amazing. My favorite was the windows, or maybe the rainbow arch, because it was a giant sandbox of red sand. It was all pretty sublime.
The girls had a blast, except for Olivia at about 2 in the morning. She was crazy!! thanks to Kenny she finally got back to sleep, (wink wink) With the help of a little medicine.
Camping in the trailer was cool to, a lot nicer than in the tent, and god thing because the first night we were there it was raining and windy all night long. I though we were going to end up in the river.
My highlight was slickrock. I have heard about it for a long time, and finally got to try it, and it was So much fun. The rock is not slick at all, it actually grips your tires. So fun. I hoping kenny will start biking with me, so next time we go down we can do it together, and next time I will remember my helmet.
A few things we learned:
1. Don't camp right next to the campsite host. (They stare at you all day)
2. Have all the food you want prepared as much as you can beforehand
3. Bring dish soap
4. Smores work a lot better in the microwave
5. It might be worth it to invest in a big cast iron skillet

Olivia on her birthday.
The girls favorite thing to do- make cookies
Thank you keyonna for the adorable aprons! The girls look so cute and they love them!!
This cake was actually olivia's.
Maggie's birthday cake. Cynthia let me borrow her cake pans and barbie doll for this one. I have to say that I liked the finished product. Plus Maggie LOVED helping make the fondant she is funny though, because she does not like to get her hands dirty....
Maggie's dance class.
She is so cute. It will be interesting to see if she can actually learn the dance.

Kenny's Graduation

Kenny's award. Whoo hoo. Thanks for coming Kris and Bob, The girls and I were especially glad to have you there.
Thanks to the Lord for blessing us.

Kenny winning an award for best marksman. Way to go!!!

t
Well, he's official now! A utah correctional officer. And the icing on the cake, this time he won the ward for best shooting!! Good Job Kenny (he should win that one right?). I am so happy and blessed to have a husband like Kenny. He works hard to take care of us and he even does so much at home. I am glad to have a man like him!
At the graduation we attended a class for the family, and the girls lasted about five minutes, so we went outside for a little photo shoot. That didn't really work either, they don't stay still for long. But they are cute, and I wouldn't trade them.

All in the name of Halloween

I designed and knitted this Shrug. Fun times.
Log cabin fever!


Maggie loved the princess place at Cornbelly's she spent hours there!! It was so cool, they had dresses for the girls to play in and a play house and a bouncehouse. Awesome.




Good job Kenny!!!!


He looks so Happy.

What a fun Holiday. As the girls get older everything gets better!! They both love pumpkins, witches and ghosts. Olivia especially likes to say: " Milk..Snow...A Ghost!" Which are all things that are white ;) We had fun with Cynthia and Kaylie carving pumpkins the other night. Maggie won't touch the inside goo, because it is "dirty". They both don't like it when their hands are dirty!!

Yesterday at the barnyard.

Kenny just wishes we lived on a farm because he wants a little goat soooooo bad. Maybe one day. Maggie loves loves loves horses. I hope aunt sharlene has us over soon, she has lots, and we won't have to pay t play. Maybe Maggie will grow up to be a horse racer??

Barf, Pee, and Treats, Oh my!

Two things, Two girls. Yesterday while we were sitting a the dinner table, Olivia was amusing herself by sticking her fist down her throat and gagging. I thought to myself: "She is going to make herself throwup, I should make her stop." But I didn't make her stop because I was feeling lazy. Well, sure enough a couple minutes later, she totally barfed all over herself, and the floor. Gross.

Maggie is in the middle of potty training! She is gradually moving towards diaper independence. It's fun to see her grow up and do more. She has to do it in her own and way and time, she gets really mad when we forget that. Anyway, she went potty yesterday and I gave her a treat as a reward. A few minutes later she said, "Treat!" I said, If you want a treat you have to pee pee." So she sat on her portable potty we have in the living room and went pee. Albeit a tablespoon of pee, nonetheless it was pee. And she got a treat.

Two toddlers too much fun.

That water is COLD! Kenny had the day off so we went up the provo canyon to this beautiful park. Utah is gorgeous!
Olivia is officially the cutest girl ever.
Hangin out with daddy at the park
Maggie is a helper! She helped us pack snacks for our trip to the park.





It happens every Sunday after church. Olivia is soooo tired, because the 11 o'clock time frame is right in the middle of her nap time! Kenny snapped these pics of her. Poor girl, she was pooped out!! The pictures are a little blurry, but you get the picture right?

These days

I made this princess dress, but she won't wear it anymore.:(

The girls are cuddling together while watching the thunderstorm:)





What funny girls we have here. Here Olivia is documented doing her fierce mood swing. It must be tough to be so little! Olivia is talking pretty well, almost as much as Maggie! But that isn't saying much because Maggie refuses to talk to us. Occasionally Olivia will be singing "Jesus Want's Me For a Sunbeam'. It's cute because she says 'sun- beat'.
