Father's Day

On this Father's Day I'm so grateful for Eric. He is such a great Daddy. He is so good to his girls. They adore him. I think it is so cute to see him play all the girly things with them. He will play family, babies, dress up, games, puzzles, doctor, pretty much whatever they want to play he will. I love that he will bathe them and brush their hair. He has let Bella play with his hair and pant his finger nails. He loves to take them on dates and have some special time with them. They are lucky to have him as their Daddy!

I too am very lucky to have him. He is a great provider and supporter. He is a great help with the girls and around the house. We have a great time together and enjoy being with each other. And he is pretty darn good look-in!!! 

I asked Bella what she loved about her Daddy and this is what she said:
-go on dates with him
-make pancakes with him
-playing games with him
-he is handsome cause he's a boy
-when he holds me
-he tickles me

We love you so much, honey!! Happy Father's Day!

And to my Dad.
Dad I love you! You have always been special to me. I love going home and seeing you. I love that you still rock a good 'over-all' when you do the yard work. I love that you make the best dutch oven food ever! And I can't wait to have some in a couple weeks. I love that you were always home and around. I love that you always let me know you cared and still do.
We all love you and wish you a happy Father's Day!!! See you soon!

Not sure when this picture was taken but I think it was either in Iona or maybe California? It's me, Dad, Jarom, Mom and Josh. Rachel probably took the pic and Jordy maybe wasn't born yet? Probably not since Jarom looks big and is still rocking his baba! I love it!

And to all the other Father's out there. Happy Day to yo too!

NOOO

I'm glad it took her 20 months to start saying no. She still doesn't say it a lot but when she does, she says it in such a sassy little voice and really draws out the noooo! 

Oh I love this crazy little baby love!

Sweets

Our good friends invited us to go to Sweet's Candy Factory yesterday for a tour. It was really fun and cute. And always fun to be with friends! The tour was only 15 minutes so it was perfect for little kids. We got to sample some of the yummyness they make there and of course we had to buy some sweet treats to bring home. This was such a good idea and I'm glad we went! Sweet's makes some of my favorite treats. I love their cinnamon bears and salt water taffy. So needless to say I, well we all were in heaven!

Road Trip

We went to Denver with Eric's family last week for a few days. We went to Elitch Gardens Theme Park one day and then the Water park the next. And on Saturday we went to a Rockies game. It was really fun and everyone had a great time. 

The girls were really good. Minus the car ride. Well Bella was perfect. She was so sweet and didn't complain once. Lyla on the other hand was hideous both days of driving but mostly on Sunday coming home. She pretty much cried and screamed the entire way! We won't be making a long road trip like that again for a long time. 

Both girls loved the rides and loved to run and play outside all day. Bella loved the kiddie roller coaster! Lyla just loved any ride she was able to go on. This park was pretty small but had several super fun roller coasters! And a pretty nice little kiddie area. Grandma doesn't do roller coasters so she spent the day with the girls. Me, Eric and Grandpa would trade off time with Grandma and the girls so all us big people could go off and enjoy big coasters. 

The water park was super fun also. I wish I would have taken more pictures there. It's hard when you are always wet though. It had a ton of fun slides, a sweet wave pool, a fun little kiddie area and a fun lazy river. We all had a great time there! 

Saturday was the Rockies game. I'm not super into baseball but Eric grew up playing and he loves it. This was my 3rd time seeing a game at a Major League ball park. It's always fun to watch live in person. It's a fun atmosphere. It was like 93 degrees that day so it was super hot. Our seats were in the shade but still it was crazy hot. The girls only lasted 4 innings. So we left and went to the outdoor mall near our hotel until the boys were back from the game. 

All aboard the crazy bus!!!

Tuckered out after a long fun day of rides!

Non of us could make it to the top of these stupid rope ladders. We all tried about 10 times. Ha ha. We couldn't have looked more ridiculous!

Running through the halls of the hotel. Always a good time.

 Thank you Kent and Lisa for taking us on such a fun Vacation! We had a great time!! 

Memorial Day Weekend

We went down to Emery as we do every year. We went for 2 days and each day was so crazy windy that it made it hard to be outside to much. It was a lot of sitting around inside the motor home. We were still able to get some riding in which is always fun. We had plans to go out on the desert to do some "real" camping and riding. I was looking forward to that actually, camping just isn't camping without a camp fire. But with the wind that didn't happen. Maybe next time. Eric, Austin, Lyla and me left Saturday night but Bella wanted to stay with Grandma and Grandpa so she didn't get home until Monday night. Miss independent! She had a great time and got to go on rides on the 4-wheeler with Grandpa!
