Sweet Utah Powder

The girls painted my moms and dads window for christmas. For some reason I don't have a picture of the final results, but my mom did a good job (after the girls were sent inside). They were so excited to have Frosty the Snowman on the window they couldn't wait to get in their paint clothes and get dirty. It was a fun Saturday...thanks mom.

Maren and I needed a girls day. We have been building a house for the past few months and we are almost done!!! We have been going crazy so we decided to go with my sister and her daughter to go get Glitter Toes. It was Maren's first pedicure and she had so much fun. We need to do it more.

HIVES!!!!

This is the 2nd time she has broke out like this. This is result of petting a dog. Last time she was covered for 4 days! 

Awesome logging video

Just some more fun Yellowstone pictures. 

This Bull Elk was huge! 

Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone last week and of course we went to Old Faithful! Taylor thought it was awesome and Maren thought it was a Volcano and was scared to death. I thought it was pretty cool because the last time I was there I was 5. 

Pre-School

Maren started preschool on Tuesday!! She LOVES it. She is growing up so fast I can't believe it.

monthly book club

I started a book club with my nieces and nephews. Each month we have a topic so all of the kids can just pick out a book according the the subject and then we get together and read them. At the end we make some kind of treat and they make a huge mess! Oh well they have fun.

slip and slide fun!

I got the slip and slide out for the kids the other day; Maren had fun, but Taylor thought it was the coolest thing ever. Taylor was so excited about it that she would walk all the way up the hill all by herself. She would get a running head start and then she would stop at the top of the slide and throw herself down it with a huge smile on her face. It was fun to watch. 

Naughty Mat

Taylor wont stop pulling her sisters hair so she has been spending some quality time on the naughty mat! This is how she feels about that.

more summer vacation pictures

This is a picture that Jon took of our family property in Bear Lake. We are hoping one day it'll have a cabin on it...right now just some pretty cool scenery. 

We went on our yearly Bear Lake trip a couple weeks ago and we took some pretty cute pictures of the kids! They are just in there jammies, but it was a perfect time for some family pictures.

WE MADE IT BACK!!!! Needless to say that it was different with kids, but it was a lot of fun. We took a ton of pictures because I got a fun new camera! We didn't make it to the river, but Jon and I decided that we would try to take Maren on a daily river trip next year...starting them young. We went hiking in Canyonlands and went to Arches, we had a blast!!!! Hopefully we'll make it a yearly trip.  

They are getting so big

Holy cow!!! Time goes by so fast. Taylor just turned 1 and Maren is now 3. They are finally starting to play together and that's a lot of fun. They are just growing up too fast. 

Taylor finally found her tongue.
