Fourth Of July

Went to Provo on the Fourth and enjoyed some fun crafts for the kids and some vendor booths for me and my friend. Then it was back to our house for yummy desserts and FIREWORKS!! 

Herriuman Beach


Since I can't see my title spot on the new wonderful Google Chrome (HA HA NOT) I now have to add my tittles on this part. Maybe I just don't know how to use it yet but right now this will work!


Went to our "beach" on Sunday and had a wonderful time with our neighbors. Here's some pictures I took.

Our Fire!

                                                                          11 p.m.

                                                                        4 a.m.

                                                           The next morning (Friday)

 These both are Friday Night shots.

As of now the fire is 40% contained. We are so thankful for the firefighters who helped keep our home safe. It was quite a show to watch the mountain burn down though. Madison and Austin loved looking at the fire and watching the helicopters dump buckets of water on the fire through the scope. We plan on baking our local firefighters some cookies next week to say thank you.


****UPDATE 6/25 The fire in 100% contained!!****

New Mexico

Had a quick visit to New Mexico. Grandpa wasn't feeling well so we went and saw the family. Kathy and Ronnie came down as well as Kevin's family. It was a neat little family reunion!

San Diego Trip!!

Our trip to San Diego was a blast!! Made many memories that we won't forget and did some things that we won't again!! The hotel was beautiful and the people were really friendly. Wouldn't stay their again just because it wasn't in town, next to restaurants. The view of the harbor was amazing. Finding places to eat and park was a bit of a pain, everything was so expensive!!
Sea World was so fun!! The whales are so beautiful! We loved them!! The show was super neat, but we didn't get wet...so we went and saw the whale and dolphin show, sat in the front and got SOAKED!! Garrett, Madison, and I loved it...Austin cried and cried!! It was the highlight of the trip for Garrett and I :) Austin on the other hand had a bit of a rough visit. He got soaked and got scared in the bear caves. We finally convinced him to go in the dark, bear cave and a (fake) bear ROARED at him! The poor boy ran out of there so fast, right past Garrett! By the time Garrett got him he was shaking. It was so funny :)
The beach was amazing, alittle cold, but amazing! The kids liked it and had a blast jumping waves, building sand castles, and collecting sea shells.
Stopped in Vegas on the way home and hit Circus Circus, M&M world, and saw the lights at the Belagio. All in all it was a great trip! We learned alot of things about big vacations and saw some pretty amazing sites!!

Little Moab

Took a drive to find Little Moab. Tried going the back way and had to turn around, find a dirt road that cuts across the mountains to Redwood Road. Thankfully Garrett knows his way around these mountains of ours and was able to get us there. Once we got there it was a huge hit with the whole family!! We took a hike to the top, took a "few" pictures, and then back down for a yummy hot dog over an open fire!! Once we all had full belly's it was time to explore the backside and take a "few" more pictures. (I took 136 pictures in 4 hours!) The kids loved climbing and was surprisingly good at it!! After we left it was ice cream for dinner and hot showers!! We had an amazing day together, with great company, and vow to return with the four wheelers and tents!! Here's the Walmart link...
