I'm dreaming of a White Christmas!!

This is a little bit of what Vegas has looked like the last couple of days. There was actually a lot more snow than this, but this was the best picture I had. It's probably the ONLY time Reese will ever wear her snowsuit, but it was perfect timing for it. Thats Ethan and Ryan having a snowball fight in the back. It's crazy how the weather's been out here. Crazy enough, it doesn't make me miss the Utah winters!

Future movie star??

I was going through some of my pictures on the computer and came across this. I had forgotten all about it, but thought it was funny so I thought I'd share...

Hey everyone I added the followers gadget to my blog, so if you wouldn't mind adding yourself as a follower, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!

Oh my Crap!!

Ok, so what happens when you send your husband and kids to the lake without you so you can go shopping with your mom??? This... Seth got Ethan and Ryan to wakeboard. Um, hello maybe I am just totally freaking out but they are so little. Anyways they said that it was a lot of fun. Seth had to bribe Ethan, that if he would get out there and try it then he could have a taste of his Mt. Dew, and he did. I'm glad they are safe and no one got hurt. They do look kind of cute out there though. And props to the pictures taken with an I-phone not too shabby! Good job Bryan . :)

This one is Ethan
Ethan again
Ryan
I think this is Ryan too. It's kind of hard to tell.

Green River, Wyoming!!

Well after about 2 years we finally make a trip back to Green River. Seth was excited to finally go back home. It's definitely a small town, but lots to do. We packed in our 4 days with lots of fun. Hopefully we can do it again soon. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Van for our fun filled weekend. We love you!

MeMoRiES!!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

4th of July!!!

To start off our 4th of July day, we went over to our friends Brian and Melissa's house for some yummy steaks and babyback ribs. The food was so yummy and our kids and adults of course had a great time just hanging out and playing the Wii. Later that night we went over to some other friends who put on this HUGE firework display. I'm talking like getting a deejay and putting it to music and everything. They go to Pahrump and spent hundreds of dollars on fireworks. I've never been able to go because I always go home for the Stadium of Fire (which I heard was really good this year. Rats!!) but I must give the Bryan's props this year cause they really did do a good job. It was a lot of fun. I hope everyone had a great 4th as well.

Our Disneyland Vacation!!

Well, I finally was able to make it back to "The Happiest Place on Earth." Last time I was there was 1987. So you can do the math, but it was a long time ago. It is amazing how much I thought I remembered, but really didn't. It was great being with my kids and watching all their expressions. We are definitely going to have to go more often. I took a ton of pictures, so I'll just post a few. Enjoy!



This is me, my mom and my sister standing in front of California Adventure.

Ethan thought Peter Pan was really cool and funny. It's crazy how much these characters really look like the cartoons. They do a good job with that.

I think Belle was my favorite princess. We went and ate at Arielle's Grotto, so we got to see all the princesses, and Belle was so cute.

We also ate with Seth's side of the family at Goofy's Kitchen. It was fun.
This is in California Adventure, A Bug's Land. So cute.My mom and her grandbabies in their matching pj's she bought them.Obviously it's Chip n Dale!!Reese loved the princesses. She just kept starring.We were also able to go to Sea World. It was fun, but it rained on us the whole time, and it was cold. So I think we were out of there by 3:00 that afternoon. The kids had a good time though.
All in all we had a great time. I can't wait to do it again. Next time hopefully it won't be in 20 years!!

Another Tag! Bow-chick-a-wow-wow!!

The Hubbie Tag

What is his full name? Seth E. (you all know his last name, and yes, it's just an initial) How long have you been married? It was 7 years on Feb. 16th. How long did you date? Um, lets just say not long! :) We met and were married within 5 months. Yeah, I know. How did you meet? He dated my roomate. Sorry Tanna. Who eats more sweets? I would have to go with Seth on this one. Who said "I love you" first? Him How old is he? 27. Who is taller? He is for sure. 6'2" to my 5'4" Who is smarter? Him. He's like a human caculator. Who does the laundry? I do. Who pays the bills? He does. I probably should get more involved with that, but what are ya gonna do?? Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Him Who mows the lawn? I don't even remember what a lawn looks like. How sad it that!? Who drives? I usually let him, but he scares the crap out of me. He says I'd probably have a heart attack if I went a day with him to work where he does Valet, and ya know what, he's probably right. So, no thanks. Who is more stubborn? Well, I'd say him and he'd say me. So who knows. Who kissed who first? He did. Who has more siblings? Holy cow, one for me!! I do. 6 to 4. Who wears the pants? I like Kendall's answer for this one, which was...I think we both keep each other "in check."

So now I'll tag...Lisa F., Melissa, and Kimmie. Have fun girls!

Nothing Like Best Friends!!

K, so my wonderful friends from Orem came to visit me last weekend, and can I just say I had so much dang fun. I seriously miss you guys so much and can't wait to do it again. Thanks for thinking of me and for the great times! More to come for sure...!
Can you tell it was about 2 or so in the morning when the "giddy" starts to happen and we want to take pictures. Aren't we beautiful??
K girls I wish I looked that HOT in a swimsuit. I think Reese have you both beat though. :)
Especially when she walks like that!Two of my favorite people for sure.
And I must say I LOVE my double chin. Its (i think) one of my best features.

All in all girls I had a great time with you. You are the best and I can't wait to do it again. Til next time.

Holy Cow, I'm actually posting!!

Well, hello my adorable friends and family! I've been getting a lot of trash talk, so I thought I'd throw up a few pictures! :) Sorry it has been so long, I guess I just got really lazy or something. Anyway here are my cute kids at Easter time. My mother-in-law sent then some little matching outfits, so it was fun to get them all dressed up.


Reese had her 1st Birthday April 17. I can't believe that she is already one. Crazy!! It was kind of a low key day. We got her a couple gifts and let her eat away at her cake. It was a fun day.


Now I know there's not a ton to look at now, but it's a start, right? So I will do my best to hop back on the band wagon and post more often. See you real soon!

Thanks Jess! I love ya for this!! :)
