Trip to see Aunt Kristie and Uncle Ryan!

So this is our trip to Draper, Utah to see Kristie and Ryan.  Adam had a job out of town for a week so I packed up all the kiddos and drove the 6 hour drive to spend the week with the Best Aunt and Uncle in the World!  It was so much fun we did something new and fun everyday!  We went to a very cool Aquarium where we saw jellyfish, anaconda, bird eating taranchela, baby sea horses, octopus, sharks, scorpions, and even touched a sting ray.  I sadly didn't take any pictures of the Aquarium day and many other fun things we did.  But here is some of the fun things we did.  Thank you Ryan and Kristie for your hospitality and love.  It was so much fun and look forward to the next visit! Love you Guys!

 We visited Temple Square, went to the Salt Lake farmers market, and then went to eat at In and out burgers, to make Adam jealous!  Love Ford's smile:)

Love all this sweet kiddos, Izabel was my little helper this trip, I think she knew she had to help and make it easier on mom so I would attempt doing this again.

 These pictures did not go in the order I expected, but we went to the Hogle zoo and took a little train ride, that Easton Loved!  That is until we went into the tunnel!  I love the expression I captured on his face while entering the tunnel.  The excitement before the tunnel, below.

 We got to see a polar bear and big seals, this was a cool zoo, so many cool animals to see!

 Izabel checking out a rhino.  She has her hair done by Aunt Kristie, Mom needs to practice doing french braids.

 Easton checking out the elephants.

 Kristie keeping an eye on all the kiddos!  I would not have been able to make this trip with out her!  What fun we had and hopefully created some fun memories for the kids.  I think they are going to expect at least 2 visits a year to see Kristie and Ryan!

 Going swimming at the neighborhood pool, Benson hanging out with Kristie.  He loves his Aunt Kristie.

 Benson is 10months old now!   Hard to believe he will be one soon!  He is starting to crawl and is making a lot of funny noises lately.  My favorite is when he is eating something he likes he makes a funny raspberry sound with his tongue and lips.  Love this little Cheeky boy!  Sending out much love to family and friends, hope you all are having a fun cool summer!

Izabel's Dance Recital

 Here she is doing her dance to the song "Popular"  in the Wicked musical and she also did the song "I can't do it alone" from the Chicago musical.  This was her first dance class and she loved it, especially the recital. She did a great job on her moves and really seemed to enjoy performing! 

 After the recital Elly and her pose for pictures holding the flowers they received. 

 Striking a pose, two dancing STARS!

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!!!  We love our girly girls! Will have to get the DVD so I can post the performance.



Ranch 2012

 Ford and Easton eating a whole plate full of Swan's vanilla ice cream that Uncle Mark got for them to eat for dinner cause they never stopped to eat food, to busy playing and exploring at the Ranch! 

 Can you see Ford, Easton and Guy?  They are climbing the mountains trying to catch bugs.

 Tons of baby kittens to be found in the barn, the kids loved finding them!

 Branding, lips caked with dirt some dirt on the teeth too! Gross!

 The boys had the job of scaring the calves into the coral, they both loved it and yelled at them too.

 Jeff took us carp fishing, and Ford loved it.  He is looking tough right here putting a foot on the carp. 

Bear River, Love the Ranch!  It was beautiful this year.  We loved seeing the Harris side of the family and exploring and soaking in all the ranch provides.  We did however miss the Hepworth's !  The blitz is not the same without them! 



My Benson

My Sweet Little Benson, he is such a sweetie. He is changing so fast! He is now sitting on his own using his hands like crazy. Loves to grab my plate of food when I am eating. He is eating baby food now too. He likes bananas and sweet potatoes so far.
Weather has been nice, so we outside a lot these days. Gotta love the new life of Spring!

Izabel is now 7 and still my little helper. She is taking dance class and enjoys it so far but is mostly excited for the recital when she can wear make up and wear sparkles in her hair. She is my girly girl, Love it!

Here are Easton, Elly, Ford and Izabel at Izabel's party. Easton is now 3! So much is changing, with a new home, family moving, new babies on the way, season change, so much. So much GOOD! Want to send out so much LOVE to family and friends I have not seen or talked to in awhile. I have thought of you all and wish you all much happiness and success no matter the changes in life!

The House

Here is our new house! What a whirlwind, life is good and crazy busy right now! Is the season for change, and so many coming......
Here is the barn and storage area our back yard is to the left.

The boys and dad checking out the pasture, so much room to roam and run for the boys!

Working, demo and more demo! We have stripped walls, floors, cabinets, toilets, vanities, so much! Gonna be better in the end!

All that is left of the family bathroom is the tub:)

Here is my kitchen all stripped, I have decided to make a book of this whole experience including pictures. Because I am learning remodeling is a very complex process filled with much joy and then tears.
