Reunion

We spent this weekend at Fish Lake in Richfield for a family reunion. It was so pretty there, and we stayed in nice cabins. It was MY kind of camping! Family came from Arizona, Nevada, New York, and Virgina. It was so fun to have most of the family together!

Josh taught Addie how to fish. She LOVED reeling in the line! She was super fast at it. :)

The family sure is growing. Here are the mommies with their little ones.

All the cousins that were there.

My sweet cousin, Alyssa made all the little girls matching skirts. How cute are these!!! Addie loved playing with all the cute babies!

Big Five

Flashback to 2005. Our beautiful wedding day. Sweet little Josh, looks so young.
Our wedding luncheon. What a WONDERFUL day!!! :)

This is were it all went down.

Happy 5th Anniversary to my sweetie! I am such a lucky to girl to have Joshy all to myself. He is such a loving father, hardworking provider, and my best friend.

Summer fun

Daisy's. My favorite flower. And Addison. My favorite buddie.

So glad Addie allowed me to take pics of her with the flowers in our yard.

Addie and Emma are spending LOTS of time together this summer. And we all love it!

.. feeding horses.

The other day we had some friends over to enjoy the sunshine. Emma, Addie, Josh, and Zac.

Independence Day

We took Addie to her first parade. She loved it. I hated going to parades as long as can remember as a teenager and kid for some reason. But I knew I needed to go for Addie. And it turned out being a lot of fun, even for me! Addie of course LOVED all the candy and the flag she got. Her favorite was the guys on 4 wheelers, motorcycles, the princess floats, and the cheer leaders. They also had a lot of people in costumes and mascots, that was cute too. I can see this being our new tradition. It was fun to watch her excitement as something new was coming up the way. She really makes so many things in life much more enjoyable!! Love ya my little firecracker!

Add and Grandma sylin with their shades!

It's not California but...

we still have a great time here! I love this little lake by our house. It has everything but the waves! I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time here this summer!

Our trip to California!!

Our first stop was Disneyland!! Yahoo! Josh and I were so excited to take our own little princess there! She enjoyed it so much and so did we! We were lucky to have nice weather and it was close enough to our hotel it was just about a 7 min walk. We met up with 3 other couples and their kids there too. We each had our own family plans, but also got together for some fun with friends. It worked out so perfectly. Addie would of been bored with just mom and dad for the whole week. I'm so glad it worked out for our friends to be able to go to Cali the same week as we did. :)

This Princess Lunch was the best part of Disneyland! Kim, Emma, Addie, and I had a lunch date with most of the Disney princesses! How cool is that!? It was in this really cute Under the Sea themed room and had a yummy fancy lunch. (too fancy for the kiddos.)lol Then every 5 min or so a new princess would be announced and in she would come. Each one would stop at each table and take pictures and visit with all the "mini princesses". The girls were so excited the whole time they couldn't even eat, they sat on the edge of their chair anxiously awaiting their turn with the princess. It really was so much fun for Kim and I also. At one point we both looked at each other with huge smiles and said, "This is so cool!!" We had our childhood wishes fulfilled too! lol It was so worth it! Thanks so much for talking me into it Kim. :)

Addie and Emma. They were SO trilled to see each other at Disneyland. The Taylors got there a day before us, so we met up later on. They are the sweetest buddies!

The whole group.. lots of cute little kidos that had a lots of fun together.

The classic picture! I'm so glad Addie wasn't anxious around the characters. For the most part she loved to run up and hug them all!

Hooray! We finally got to meet TinkerBell!! After an hour plus wait in line! She was so cute with Addie. She took time with her and they chatted together.

We had the unique opportunity to visit my cute little brother on his mission in San Diego. We took him and his companion to lunch and got to hear all about what they've been up to. It was great to see him again!
