Benson is 2

Benson turned 2 in July! I can hardly believe that my baby is that old. He is a crazy kid who brings so much joy to our family! For his birthday we went to the Phoenix Children's Museum during the day and then had a lasanga dinner that night. Here is Benson with his school bus cake. (His favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus")

Bear Lake 2010

On the same trip to Utah we were able to go up to Bear Lake and meet up with my dad and the girls. Ben flew in this weekend too, so we could all be together for the 4th of July. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy the cool weather!

July 2010-Utah

Heidi and I and the kids headed up to Utah for our cousin Tiffanie's wedding. While we were there we took the kids to Lagoon. We were able to meet up with Nate and Millie too. We all had a blast. I was impressed at the number of kids rides that there were. This shot was taken after a blue Icee.
We were all able to go on the log ride. Benson is in my lap, I couldn't quite get a shot of the whole gang.

This was on one of those spinning rides. It was so funny to watch the kids faces. They both take after their mom and love to get dizzy!

Here is my cute cousin Tiff and her adorable husband Alex. They make such a beautiful couple!!

This is the kids on the walk to Bridal Veil Falls.

June Recap

In June we had the chance to go up to Utah for Lilly Mishler's blessing. David and Cindy did great work with this little cutie!
Her hair is amazing!!

Our family at Bridal Veil Falls.

My little acrobats wanted to show mom their tricks!

May Recap

My brother Nate and his wife Millie bought a house. In the backyard after having had a huge bonefire to burn out an old tree stump they dug this hole to make their own swimming pool. The kids loved it!!

We are still alive

We are still alive I promise! Life has been very hectic lately, so the blog has gone by the wayside. We had the fun news in June that we were being evicted because our landlord wasn't paying the rent and our house had been sold at auction. We had two weeks to get packed up and moved. Ben's wonderful sister offered to take us in again, so we are back living with family for the next few months.

April Update

We celebrated Heidi's 23rd birthday with a strawberry cake and breakfast at Denny's. Nate was able to join us for breakfast. (Can't get a serious picture out of this kid!)

Michelle and I took a weekend trip out to St. George to visit Tami and meet this cute little man. Reggie was adorable!

These ladies are two of my most favorite!! It is always fun to get together and chat!!

I was also lucky enough to meet up with two of my college roomates while in St. George. I love these ladies!! Steph and Kellie and two of the funniest gals I know!!

Easter was wonderful! Benson and Kenadee loved finding Easter eggs in the backyard.

Disneyland 2010

We just got back from an amazing trip to Disneyland! We met up with the Chappells and played in the parks for 3 days. The kids loved everything! Kenadee had no fear. She went on rides like the Matterhorn without blinking an eye. It was so fun to be able to watch the excitment on the kids faces with everything they saw.
