bikini beach

joshua is the man! he loves the beach and is not afraid to get in the water.

it's been so so crazy lately! but i just wanted to let everyone know that we are still around and having so much fun! (sorry for not posting) we are in between homes right now so me and the kids decided to take a month long trip to hawaii! (well actually i had to be talked into coming out here...lol!) but we are so happy that we made it out here safely and we are having a blast. my sister emily decided that i needed to detox from utah, hopefully i don't have terrible withdrawals. i really love it here, it's so lush and green and the ocean is beautiful with nice white sand...totally paradise.

stay tuned for more pictures...

the mormon miracle pageant (manti pageant)

last saturday we got to go to the manti pageant and it was really really neat. the production was awesome. i thought it was going to be a small play and it turned out to be an incredible performance. i'm so glad we were able to attend because i've never been before and i was really impressed. even the kids did awesome considering it didn't start until 9:30 p.m. and ended at 11:30 p.m. (that's really late for my kids!) if you haven't been yet, i highly recommend it. it's worth the long drive, i promise you won't regret it!

off to a bad start

steve's wallet got stolen. i don't know if it happened this morning or last night. they either got in through the window or we left the truck unlocked we really can't remember. they took his wallet that had $160 and all our credit cards and his cell phone. great. ugh! i hate when stuff like this happens it makes me feel violated! they other day the kids left the longboard outside and it also got stolen, what a joke. so far we've had joshua's dirtbike stolen, the longboard, and steve's wallet and cell phone. i swear this people must think we're retards and we probably are 'cause we keep getting our stuff stolen. we just need to make sure we put everything away and keep it under lock. i swear it's getting harder and harder to trust people.

roses

this are the beautiful roses from my garden. last time i cut the rose bushes i didn't cut them short enough so they are seriously growing wild. i have so many roses this year and they are so pretty. next year i'll have to cut them super short so they don't get as big as they have this year. if anyone has any idea on how to take care of rose bushes, please let me know it would be greatly appreciated!

3 years ago...

i had a beautiful baby girl named Abigail
and she just gets more and more beautiful as the years go on, inside and out. we love you sweetheart. happy birthday!

good ol' times!

today i got to go to my friends' homecoming. she just got back from Germany where she went on a mission. she is one of the sweetest girls i know. it was so nice to see my friends and not just any friends, i've known this girls since junior high (about 10 years ago.) they are awesome friends and i'm so glad we've been able to keep in touch. it's really neat to see what everyone has been doing and where we're at now. some have kids, others just graduated from college, some newlyweds, and others single and working. i'm the only one that has been married for seven years and has a five year old (considering how young i got married!) we got to talk about the funny stuff that happened when we were younger and how we were all pretty dumb. good ol' times, definitely!
