Trip to Utah

On June 14th the girls and I embarked on our first trip out to Utah without Justin. I will break it down into 3 blogs. The first week, The princess Festival, and the second week! First we stopped in St. George and saw my Dad for lunch. It was the first time in 4 years that I and Issy had seen him. 6 years since the other two had seen him. It was so good to spend a little time with him again. He couldn't get over how different the girls all look and act. Then we continued our drive to Nephi, and met up with Brittany for dinner. As always spending time with my sister is one of the greatest things on earth. I love that girl! We finished it with our final Destination at my friend Julie's home in Saratoga Springs. Her and her lovely family took us in for the week. Thank you so much Jules for allowing us to come and stay with you! We had so much fun! Our kids all got to spend time together and get to know each other. It was awesome! During the week I also took the girls to see their Grandpa Jim, their Grandma Corinne, Aunt Robin/her kids, and Also Ken and Vickie came out to Julie's house for a Bbq. We had lots of fun with everyone.

Chelsey took this pic of Issy crashed out on the car ride out to Utah. I was surprised my girls did such a great job with the long travel, even without movies to watch. Issy stayed awake for most of it, but took a nap towards the end of the ride.

After 4 years of not seeing each other, it was sure great to see my Dad! We had a nice little lunch with him and then stopped and saw him again when we headed home.

The girls with their Grandpa Randy! Issy of course was a little shy, but the other two had no problem at all. They loved talking with their Grandpa and telling him about their life as if they have seen him everyday!

My first Hostess! Julie has been one of my best friends for about 10 years now. It was fun to stay at her house and get to know her 3 kids!

This is Veronica, or Roni for short. She sure is a cutie!

Swimming at Grandpa Jims is always a favorite past time with the girls!

Ok so Ken and Vickie came out to Julie's house for a Bbq. I took this pic to send to Justin because ever since Chelsey was born we have joked that Ken is her father. Just because they have the same red hair and complexion. Its really funny, and will always probably be an inside joke to us. It was good to see them, and also their son Michael who is 16 and huge!! He is about 6'3" or so! A giant next to me.

Spending time with Robin, Grandma Corinne and Robin's Kids. Little Katie and I at Texas Roadhouse about to eat some delicious dinner after a full day of Bowling, painting nails, and playing with cousins.

Issy was trying so hard to bowl and knock down the pins. But I think she is like me...Bowling doesn't agree with her... ha ha

Katie trying to hide or play peek a boo with me..

We celebrated Taylors 7th b-day at Texas Roadhouse. They put him on this saddle chair and we sang to him.

All us girls at Julie's house before we head out for our next destination. Aaron and Ammon was at a father & sons campout. Thanks so much Julie again for hosting us :)

Camping out in the Backyard Fun!

Last weekend Justin and I put up our tent in the backyard for a trial run since we had bought a new tent. On Saturday night the girls and I decided to have a camp out. Justin went out with friends to a cruise night. We had so much fun, the neighbors next door were having a graduation party and they had a Dj going. So we had music, ate impromptu smores, danced around the tent and took silly pics. The girls and I bothed loved it and slept great in then tent.

Last Day of School

Chelsey and Kylee's last day of school was last Friday May 27th. I was able to help out in Chelsey's classroom for their end of year party. I made 45 cupcakes for it. The kids had so much fun, and took pictures with some of their closest friends. Now i have them home for the summer...oh what will i do..ha ha!

Kylee and Gabriel, they have been a little item since Kindergarten and his mom just informed me that they were moving this summer :( We will deffinantly miss our little Gabriel stories!

Last Awards Assembly

On Monday the girls had their last Awards assembly of the year. Kylee had been chosen as Student of the Month. I was so proud of her she started this school year with Student of the month and ended with it! She has really become a great student and her teacher will surely miss her next year. She also had Perfect Attendance all school year and was given a trophy for that as well. I was also surprised to find out that Chelsey was given an award too. Her teacher gave her an award for succeeding out of the Read 180 group program. Which now means she is reading at her grade level now and no longer having issues anymore. I have been so lucky to have Ms. Roach for Chelsey's 5th grade teacher. She has made such an improvement this year and is truely ready for 6th grade.

Chelsey receiving her award.

She was super happy, and as you can tell she is looking older. I've caught myself starring at my gorgeous little girl and realizing she is no longer little anymore but growing into a Young woman. I'm realizing that she is done with Elementary and moving on to bigger things. It just seems crazy to think I have a middle schooler now.

Ky with her Perfect Attendance trophy. Chelsey was sad... she missed two days from being sick. She so wanted to have a Perfect Attendance Trophy. Maybe they will do something in Middle School for it.

Im so proud of my girls! They really are great students and awesome Girls that make my life complete!

Mothers Day

I had a great Mothers day this weekend. It started off by going to the Drive-In last night with the family. Our Drive-In gives you a Double feature. So we ended up seeing Fast 5 and also Rio for the girls. Both movies were awesome! The girls had a blast as well. We took popcorn, licorce and drinks. Fun fun!

Then today I woke up to breakfast being made for me. Ky also made me a card from school. Then I got a new coffee traveler mug as well. To top it off they blind folded me and took me on a ride. We ended up going to a frozen yogurt place. It was so good!! I took a nap when we got home, and to finish it we had Sanpete Style BBQ turkey, corn on the cob, and a nice dessert :) My girls make me so happy, and give me such blessings in life! My husband also loves me so much and takes such good care of me. I love my Girls and Hubby! I also got pretty Flowers!

Bday Party Weekend

On Friday we ended up taking the girls to Tatiana's Birthday party. She is Daves daughter, that Justin used to work with. She was so happy to see the girls and spend time with them again. The girls had a blast at the park. Then on Saturday went to another friends birthday party...

Celeste is Ky's best friend from school, but its a hispanic family and they tend to invite the whole family over to party as well. They had a huge jumper, and some good food! The girls had so much fun!

Ha ha.. For the big Pinata the dad hung up a handle from the roof so that it would be easier to hang the Pinata from.

Here is Ky passing by, and if you look there is feet coming up from the slide, that is Issy..lol

Look how much fun she is having!

There she goes diving through the obstacle course at the end.

Here comes Chelsey...
