Viva Las Vegas!

We have been some traveling fools lately. We headed down to Vegas to see Jeremy's brother bless his new baby girl. It was such a fun trip! The girls were WONDERFUL in the car. On Friday we spent the night in St. George (I would love to live here some day). We went to Pizza Factory (my FAV) w/ Jeremy's parents and did a little shopping. It was fun to spend some one on one time with Jer's parents. The next day we headed to Vegas. First stop the Pawn Stars shop. This place is in the ghetto! It was way cool to see this place. Jeremy and I love this show.
The girls thought it was pretty cool too. I had them fold their arms through the shop and one lady asked me if that was their no touch stance. Yes ma'am it was :).
Next stop swimming at Uncle Brents and Aunt Mary's. This has been something my family has done for years. It was really fun taking my girls there and doing the same thing. I wish we had more time to hang our here. Do you see how Sadie is on that little step......she didn't move from there the whole time. Remember the last time we went swimming and she almost drowned not once but twice yeah pretty sure she's traumatized. After we were done she told me that she has sooooo much fun on her step :). At least she's satisfied.
Raig's strutting her stuff. All she wanted to do was play with Aunt Mary's dog. And she wouldn't look at the camera at all.
The girls found the squirt guns and LOVED them. I might need to get them some of these. Uncle Brent was showing them how to use them and it backfired on him. He ended up getting a little wet.
Taylor was a little fish and swam forever she LOVED it.
Hangin out in granny and papa's room while I went shopping :).
After we went to dinner we headed back to our hotel room and cleaned the girls up. This is my all time favorite picture of Raigen. Who knew a hand towel would look so cute on a baby.
The girls insisted they get a picture in front of a palm tree.
Loved this vacation and I know the girls will remember this one! Can't wait to do it again.

Courtney Graduates!

My baby sister has GRADUATED! I can't believe she is headed to college and growing up. We are so proud of her and she really is an AMAZING person inside and out. Oh and did I mention a total babe :). Love you sista!
(Don't mind Cole creeping in our photo)
My oh so beautiful sisters! Love them all. (PS I may have graduated 10 years ago!)

Mother's Day


I'm one lucky mom! I just LOVE these little girlies and all the LOVE they show me. Today has been a fantastic day. Jer spoiled me rotten, the girls drew me pictures and told me how much they love me over and over again. I couldn't be happier. I have to document some of the funny things these gals say.

Taylor: Mom next is fathers day huh.
Me: Yep
Taylor: When's sisters day?
Me: Hmmmm I don't know
Taylor: Well we should find out. You guys need to give us stuff.

Sadie was trying to convince Jer to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks
Sadie: It has booooyyyys in it
Jer: No
Sadie: It has giiiirrrrrllllls in it
Jer: I don't care
Sadie: It has boys AND girls in it
Jer: You didn't want to watch my show with me (Swamp People)
Sadie: (Annoyed at this point turns her head towards the TV and says) Just get out of here.

We both were laughing pretty hard. Like I said there is never a dull moment in our home and I wouldn' t have it any other way. I love my little family and I'm so very very grateful for my mom and Jeremy's mom. How lucky are we to both come from such great families. Happy Mother's Day!
