Silly Faces

sILly FaCeS are what Alexa does best

in front of the camera these days...

But I also wanted to post about this amazing new park in our neck of the woods! We've been enjoying the splash park so much! It is easy to just zip over there on these hot days for a little cooling off! There is a fun fountain (that you see in the background), and also a little "interactive waterfall" or stream with fake rocks and things for the kids to play in!

Another fun activity my girls have been enjoying...very simple, but fun...is painting our patio with water! :) I give them a little cup or bucket of water and sponge paintbrush, and it keeps them busy for awhile!...a great way to practice writing their letters!

We are trying to enjoy everything about this warm weather while we have it...not really looking forward to the cold.

Yee-Haw!

I LOVE MY MOM and

I LOVE RIDING HORSES WITH HER

Tonight was so much fun!
Just a little something to help you imagine, no pictures were taken, but I had such a great time and wanted to post about it!

Thanks Mom!

and Thanks Tyler!

I feel so refreshed and ready for another day.

Pendleton's Visit

Tyler's sister Amber's family came for a visit about a week ago from Indiana!

We had a great time having them around, and we did A LOT of FUN THINGS!

We spent the weekend they were here at the CABIN in Sundance--WE LOVE IT THERE!
We did so much the week they were here, it has taken our little family awhile to recuperate! We are finally getting back to normal :)

TKAK enjoying the cabin

Ty and Karli enjoying a little time outdoors

Alexa "found" some pretty flowers...we enjoyed them during our stay there.

Cousin Nathan tackling Alexa right next to a beaver dam we found...these two love each other and "fight" each other like brother and sister :)

The THREE cousins--Jackson, Nathan, and Alexa--all born the same year, together again!
Watching Gordy...one of the only movies up at the cabin.

Alexa trying to play in the broken tire swing

SO MUCH FUN being able to visit the spot we got engaged a couple times each year!

STEWART FALLS is so pretty!

Here is a glimpse of some pictures Ronnie took of us while up there.

Thanks Ronnie!

Two Dollar Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point in August!

VERY crazy-busy, full of people, but FUN :)

We went to the Dinosaur Museum...not sure if I'm up for another Tuesday there or not...we'll see!

We'll miss you Dave, Amber, Jackson, and Megan!

Cupcake Club

Just had to post this cute little idea our neighbors had! This family of three adorable girls (around the ages of 8, 10, & 12) put on a Cupcake Club for little girls around the neighborhood. They colored, played games, and decorated cupcakes...all for $3. They did it to make money, and Alexa had a ball!

Already a dress-up Queen

Karli LOVES to play in Alexa's dress up box!

There is just way to much to pull out and throw on the floor, and dress up in! Her favorite is the necklaces! We are amazed at how well she puts necklaces on...and then the other day we found out she not only can put necklaces on, she can undress herself too! She is crazy and fun, and we could not live without her...but this age is a crazy one!

Girls Camp 2009

I was at GIRLS CAMP last week!

It was SO MUCH FUN!

It was up American Fork Canyon, so it made it easy for me to take care of my girls at night and still be there for every day at camp!

I am so lucky to be in Young Women's! I really feel like it is where I am supposed to be! I love the girls and I love the leaders!
I didn't take very many pictures throughout the week, but did take a couple at Tibble Fork Res!

THANK YOU

to my Mom and Mother-in-law for watching the girls during the days...it was so nice knowing they were in good hands! I didn't have to worry!

Cousins are the BEST!

Alexa was in heaven having some of her cousins and her Aunt Sara hanging out with her!

It was so cute finding them all downstairs watching Barbie and the Nutcracker :)

Our girls LOVE spending time with ALL of their cousins!

They are so much fun!

Gideon and Lucy

We met my Mom at "The Horses" (is what we like to say), which is only about five minutes from our house. She was spending some time with Lucy, a horse that she was thinking about buying...well, we had a great time!

The girls with their Grandma K and Lucy

Alexa had a little ride by herself...quite the little cowgirl!

Karli enjoyed her turn sitting on Gideon, my Mom's horse!
Both of our girls are going to be so comfortable and good with horses! They LOVE it!

My Mom decided to buy Lucy! What is really neat about it is that Gideon and Lucy are brother and sister! They are both beautiful and so much fun to ride! I am so excited for my mom!

Pioneer Day

We spent the 24th of July in Spanish Fork with Tyler's family!

The night before, we had a BBQ, went Swimming, and camped out in their backyard!

We went to the Fiesta Day's Parade and Carnival in the morning!

Sunny St. George

We went to St. George for the weekend
with some of our favorite people--The Johnson's!
We had a great time

...even though it was about 115 degrees

...it was SO HOT!
We enjoyed the pool, and we spent a day at Sand Hollow Reservoir (first time trying it out, we LOVED it).

It was a fun weekend, spent with fun people, in one FUN city :)
