Beautiful St. George ,105°

We just got back from a wonderful week in St. George! Nate has the whole month of July off of school so we decided we needed a get away. We left Monday morning around 10 and arrived in St. George around 3 which was perfect because that is when we could check in. Our hotel was so cute and nice. Here are some pictures of our first day in St. George at our Hotel.

Stay tuned, I'm going to post each day of our trip! Tomorrow will be our swimming pictures.

Happy 4th of July!!

We got tickets once again to go to the Stadium of Fire! They just keep getting really good entertainment that we just can't seem to pass up:) This year Carrie Underwood performed and she was so great. She is so beautiful and has an amazing voice. The fireworks are always awesome and Nate and I would rather pay to be in the stadium then spend money on rinki dink fireworks that are allowed in Utah.
We had my sister Hayley and her family, my brother and his wife,Shawnee and her sister Melissa, my Mom, and Nate's parents Kirby & Elaine with us to celebrate, it was fun thanks everyone for coming with us to celebrate!

All my girls ready to go see Carrie Underwood!!

Twlight Triology

Ok this movie was SO Awesome!! My mom, sister Hayley, her friend Annie, and I went to see all 3 Twilight movies Tuesday night. The only theater that had tickets left was in West Jordan. Twilight started at 7:15 pm, then we watched New moon around 10 pm and then Eclipse started at 12:08 pm. The movie theater had assigned seating so we were in the first row with the bar in front of you so we had tons of leg room. They also had a resteraunt in the movie theater so we got a hamburger, fries and a drink to eat while watching the movies.
Oh it was so much fun!! We didn't get home until 4 in the morning and Bella woke up at 6 am. I LOVED it, I felt like I was in college again hanging out with my roomates, thanks girls for such a fun night

What have we been doing this summer?

You can't have a summer without swimming!! Every Monday my sisters, mom, and I go to the pool. The girls have also started swimming lessons, Kylie asked "mom how much longer do we have to take swimming lessons?" I said, Kylie, if I threw you over the boat into the lake would you be able to stay a float? "No!" Ok then when you can swim in the lake with out a life jacket on then you can be done with swimming lessons. "Mom, that will be FOREVER!!" We love our Kylie:)


Finding new and fun things to do with this little girl. Bella is sooo happy and playful. She smiles, laughs, grabs objects, (as you can see), loves standing on her legs, and sitting up and looking around.


We've been taking lots of trips to the canyon. We usually grab a pizza or some hot dogs and enjoy dinner where it is nice and cool. Then we play in the river, catch bugs, and play games together. It's a lot of fun and time we get to spend with Nate.

TADA!!


Playing in our new sandbox (it's the closest thing we are going to get to a "Beach")


We hope you are finding lots of things to keep busy this summer too! Although I have to be honest I am anticipating school being back in session, then I will have 2 girls gone all day, and a preschooler half a day Wahooo!! It's hard keeping these munchkins busy all day without spending a ton of money. Life is a lot cheaper when school "entertains" them :)
