Week at mom's house!

a week at mom's


Eric went off with the priests this last week and most that know me know i don't stay home alone especially for 5 days. So off to Grandma Jans we went we got their Tuesday night and we started planning our week of pure entertainment for the kids and total exhaustion for me and mom. Wednesday we headed out for some errand running for me and my sticker stuff, took the kids to the mall (by their request) to hit up the hello kitty store then off to sweet tomatoes we went followed by Target (i love that store). Thursday came early not to mention the day before i attended Brandi's boot camp or hell camp whatever you want to call it, so getting out of bed was a little tough. We packed a lunch and lots of drinks and headed to the Zoo. It was so fun to see the looks on Hudson face when looking at the animals we all had a blast there. After packing up from the zoo we headed to the This is the place monument park. We realized there was a lot more walking to be done so we had one thing on our minds and that was ice cream from the Huntsman hotel in the park so our adventure started house after house the kids discovered how the pioneers lived they did some of their chores and learned that there toys back then were not as cool as ours today and that your bed was made of feather tic or straw. I think it was a great experience for them and me to realize how blessed we are to live in a day of technology and to be so grateful for the people who have paved the way for us. needless to say when we got home we were beat it was off to bed!!! Friday came bright and early again our morning was slow and when me and mom got the energy we decided to head out to Raging Waters with Heidi and her kids. What an event that was it was fun but o-the people. Eric asked "is it like a carnival but all the people are in swim suits?. He totally said it! The kids loved it and that's all that matters, right? That night after all were in bed me, Brandi and mom sat around and got the laughs! i really enjoy being with my mom and sister i am glad we have the relationship to be able to hang out together. anyway Saturday morning i thought i could escape Brandi's boot camp- nope no way mom was in there five min. before it started and said lets go so i went and really worked hard and am still feeling the effects. The races were on again after the work out we ran to the movies and Nakisha took Payton and Elli to speed racer while me, mom and Brandi saw Made of Honor (cute).
The week flew by and now that i am home i am trying to rest up for the next thing. It was great to hang out with everyone and i am glad to be home with my hubby. Thanks for the fun mom you are a great trooper!

Fourth of july weekend!

We decided to stay home for the weekend and invite my family up for fun! So it started on thursday we took blankets and pizza out on the grass and watched fireworks. Ryan and Heidi's family meet us there and brought grandma Jan with them we had fun just relaxing and letting the kids play. Friday morning Eric made his famous ebelskibers breakfast it was pretty tasty! We headed outside and set up a water slide and the kiddy pool for the kids well Eric took part in it too. Dad, grandpa showed up along with Brandi and Nakisha and we hung out until Ryan and Heidi left but they were soon replaced with Brad and Krislyn. We had decided to venture to the canal in Logan canyon. Me and Krislyn stayed behind with Hudson and Mercy. I don't think we missed much they were all ice cicles when they got to the end so much that dad couldn't stand up he had lost all feeling in his legs it was quite hilarious. Thanks for the laugh dad! After our fun at first damn and the canal we headed back to our house for a feast and it was homemade french fries, hamburgers, salads, and homemade ice cream (in honor of erics b-day). I think we all over eat or at least i know i did but if i say we all i feel better. When it got dark we headed out for fire works which was great thanks dad and Brad! Satuday morning started out slowly for me i was so exhausted by then, but i soon found the energie to walk with everyone to the good old smithfield implement! after lunch everyone cleared out. All in all it was a great weekend and i am so glad to have such a wonderful family to share memories with. check out the slide show!

summer days at the pool!!!




Payton and Elli took swimming lessons again this year so after there class was over we hung out at the pool all afternoon for 2 weeks strait. It was fun but im glad we are on to a new week of no swim lessons. The two are turning into fish Elli is actually on the same level as Payton, all payton thinks is that they are in the same class and that will work for now anything to keep them from fighting about something i will avoid at all possibilities.
