Lake Cocolalla 2009!

We had an opportunity to go to Idaho with my cousin Lori and her fabulous family in July. They invited us to stay at a beach house and play in the water for an entire week!! We had so much fun spending time with them and their kids it was one of our favorite vacations!! Aspen and Charli couldn't look more different, but act more alike! We are so lucky to have family like them that we can have such a good time together, Margaritaville, Silverwood, late night trampoline, learning how to slalom ski, tubing etc!! We can wait to go back next year!!

Moab 2009!

This year we were lucky enough to get invited to Moab again with Max & Ali. We took the Jeep and let the kids stay with my mom (THANKS!) and went for a much needed getaway! We had so much fun and I even got to drive - I think I'm hooked! Jer is great to let me drive and push me to do things I'm not sure I can do! Thanks babe for a fun weekend!

Easter & Green River

I know - I have been really bad at posting so I figured it was about time!

Every year around Easter we go to Green River so this year we loaded up the trailer and 4-wheelers and headed south - for a fun filled weekend. Too bad it was cold and rainy, but that didn't stop Aspen from riding her 4-wheeler until she couldn't push the throttle any more! It was a ton of fun and on the drive home Aspen wanted to know if we could go camping again? It was a great time and we are already looking forward to next year!

My girls on Easter

Mom - I am SO done taking pictures!

Easter at Jer's Parents - I am so glad my mom-in-law works at Kencraft! The kids had enough candy for a sugar high for the rest of the year! :D

Aspen after the hunt!

Easter Egg hunt in Green River

Jer and Kambri - for the few minutes the sun came out!

Aspen on her 4-wheeler - she was in HEAVEN!

Aspen is 3!!

I know I'm 2 weeks late, but that's the way I roll :D! I can't believe it my little Aspen is 3! How could it have been 3 years already? She seems so grown up all of the sudden. She is doing her alphabet all the way (correctly now) she is "texting" on her Barbie phone and being such a big help with Kambri! She seems to crack us up more and more every day with the things she comes up with! We love you too much Aspen!

We went to Jump on It and had a blast! It was so much fun to watch them jumping around on the trampolines and sneaking in to take tastes of the birthday cake! She loved having all her friends come! As you can see by the picture of her and Zoey it was a lot of fun!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Aspen, Kambri and Winnie on Halloween - Kambri is starting to smile :D

Aspen & Zoey at the neighborhood party, they had to hold hands crossing the street! It was sooo cute!

Carving pumpkins - she was covered in pumpkin guts so the shirt had to go!

Mom, if I smile can we go Trick or Treating? she kept asking me all day!

She makes a great blond - if she would have worn the wig we would have thought of something to go with this - it was too cute!

She had to try on the Mickey Mouse hat

and the punk rocker!

and the purple go go wig!



Needless to say Halloween was fun until the next day when she wanted to go Trick or Treating again. I think that Aspen is ready for Halloween again everyday! We had a blast going (2 cultisacs and she was tired :D) we were lucky that we didn't have to go too far and the weather was nice for my little Tinkerbell!

The zoo!

I can't remember the last time I went to the zoo, obviously I was young enough to not care about all the hills or mind the heat! Oh well, I needed the workout pushing the stroller up the hills. Aspen had a blast, I couldn't believe how hot it was for the last day of September, but she enjoyed it so it was well worth it!
