10! Year Class Reunion

A few of us went to Applebees on Friday night to catch up, and eat Blondies. (Yum!)
Kena (Black) Slater, Me, Annie (Turner) Nelson, Jen Karren, Malea (Hansen) Ellett
It was fun seeing everyone that came. There were a few people that I would have loved to see that didn't make it. Mabey next time.

 

Soccer

 

Kace & Kell had their first Soccer games today. They both did so good. Mckell is the oldest and the biggest on her team and she pretty much dominated! She scored all of the goals for her team (8 or 9 of them.)!!! K.C. is really fast and aggressive. He scored 2 goals for his team, and one for the other team (ooops- total acident). Good job kiddos you both did awesome!! We have so much fun watching them play.

Everybody is doing it!........

Confessions that is -
Since everyone else is doing it I might as well. I guess that leads me to my first Confession.

[1] I am a follower and get sucked into peer pressure.

[2] I eat cold cereal for lunch way too often.

[3] I hate working, why do we have to have money to survive?

[4] I hate how much Kevin works, again work + money = survive, why????

[5] I dont bathe my kids everyday. Is that gross?

[6] My daughter is almost one, and I have no desire to get her off the bottle. All of my other kids were completely off the bottle by the time they were one.

[7] My Grandparents live around the block from me, and I rarely stop to visit. Sad I know! I am going to be better! Sorry G&G.

[8] My 29th birthday is a couple months away, and I am dreading it!

[9] Our 10 year High School Reunion is Tomorrow and I have no desire to go. But, we are going anyways. (please refer to #1)

[10] I am cheap! I hate how much food is anymore. I dont buy "name brand" food. My kids have to suffer with the Walmart, Harmons, or Albertsons brand.(wherever the sales are.)

[11] I am sitting here eating my lunch (Cinnimon Life cold cereal) why blogging instead of working. (please refer to #2 & #3)

[12] I really do think I have the cutest kids in the whole world!

She's ... 5 * Five * Cinco

 

My Girl is 5 today.
[1] she is strong willed
[2] she is a social butterfly
[3] she loves fruit

[5] she loves princess's, hannah montana, the colors green & pink, & camping.

I LOVE HER!!! Happy Birthday Girl!

She's walking and ouch!!

My little baby is walking!! She has been walking here and there for a couple weeks now. She can walk, but prefers to crawl most of the time. She is growing up way too fast! She has her first big "ouch" she fell and hit her eye on the coffee table at my mother-in-laws. She is still the cutest thing ever - even with a shiner!

Bow Hunt

Last weekend was the opening day of the Bow Hunt. We went with a bunch of my family, I think there were 8 hunters in our camp. Nobody got anything, but we had a lot of fun! K.C. was in heaven, he loves hunting and camping. The girls had so much fun with their cousin Katie and her friend.
Mckell loved taking "the Girls" for rides on the 4-wheeler - Silly Girls!!

Yay for Pauline and her Ice Pops!!!
Tay loved riding the 4-wheeler - [I love her dimple]

K.C. & Easton target practicing. They had so much fun shooting their bows.
My aunt Pauline brought their dog and Mckell was in heaven!!
Tay thought she was so cool, she would climb the stairs to the trailer over and over.

First Day of School

My little boy is all grown up! He started first grade yesterday. He was really excited and nervous, but I think he enjoyed his first day. I love you Kace!!

24th Weekend

We went up and stayed the weekend at Kevin's Grandma & Grandpa's in Santaquin. We took the kids to Lagoon on the 24th and watched their fireworks that night, and then did their Bounce Back and spent the next day at Lagoona Beach. We also went to Cabela's (of course!) and to Chucky Cheese. The kids were in heaven all weekend. We had so much fun. Thanks Kay & Norma for letting us stay. (Sorry lots of pictures to follow)

Fishing

We went camping/fishing again. The kids all caught fish, and had so much fun!

It rained and hailed pretty good on us every afternoon.

This is for Gramma & Papa

My mom and dad sent all of the kids these New York shirts. They asked us to take a picture of all of them together. So - Here you go. We took all the Grandkids to McDee's where they had so much fun! Thanks Gramma & Papa!!! We love you!!!

I won!!!

I just found out that I won this new Crockpot off a Crockpot recipe blog that I love. I was just thinking the other day that I need a new crockpot. I love to cook with my crockpot, and the lady on this blog (her link is under my favorite blog list) makes a new recipe in her crockpot everyday. wahoooo!!

4th of July Weekend

We had such a fun weekend. We took the trailer and went camping on Cedar Mountain. We went fishing, rode 4-wheelers, shot our bows, ate lots of yummy dutch oven food, relaxed & played cards. The weather was beautiful! We drove down to Cedar City to eat dinner and watch the fire works. Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!

 

 

Kevin made this yummy Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake. Here is the recipe - you really should try it!! (I think next time we will try it with toffee chips, or peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips (or mabey just both)).

1 1/2 cup water
1 (10 oz.) bag miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 chocolate cake mix; prepared as directed
1 cup light brown sugar
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Line the bottom and sides of a 12" Dutch oven with heavy foil. Mix the water, cocoa powder, and brown sugar together and pour into the Dutch oven. Add marshmallows and spread them out evenly. Pour prepared chocolate cake mix over marshmallows. Sprinkle chocolate chips over cake batter.

Cover oven and bake using 8-10 briquettes bottom and 14-16 briquettes top for 60 minutes.

Serve warm with whipped cream.

Favorite Things Swap

I did a swap that Jaesi organized. My swap partner was Pam Dana. I sent her a cook book, and some cooking stuff, tic-tacs, sour cherries, a cute card making kit, and some lotion. I received a Scentsy warmer and scents, MaryKay sunless tanner and satin lips, bath and body smell goods, a shirt, and yummy treats (dont mind the half eaten Big Hunk:)) I DEFINATELY THINK I GOT THE BETTER END OF THE DEAL!! Pam - Thank you so much, I love it all!! I think YOUR favorite things are now MY favorite things!!
