Wicked witch of the west

While I was packing for the BIG MOVE (post to come sometime or another) Rylin wanted to put on her Halloween costume from last year. This may seem like a little thing to some, but you have to know that she has never worn it before…that’s right, not even last Hallows Eve. Better luck next fall!

Strawberry Pickin

A few weeks ago, we went to pick some strawberries because it sounded pretty fun

 

and it was pretty fun, now I have to do some jam-making with all my frozen strawberries!

Summa time

 

Brinlee and Rylin are prettymuch besties these days. They love doing things together and play so well now. They even call eachother! It is so much fun to watch their relationship grow! During their little swim date their most fave game was to “hug” eachother but really fall down into the water. I just wish I had it on video because it was halarious!

The next day was some sister sister time in the one pool, Kennel loved it, she just floated around in her bimbo chair and kicked water on Ry. These girls are so funny I am so glad to have them in my life!

Five Years= Viva Las Vegas

When we first arrived, our room was dirty, so they upgraded us for free to a huge suite…it was dirty too (see pic 1 & 2) So we called the front desk and they gave us a free dinner while they cleaned it. When we returned there were chocolates on the bed :) Nice

There are a ton of pictures on here, but I wanted to sum up our trip and all the things we were able to do with each other

We went to a sweet mall where it rained inside, played games at the arcade at New York, New York (and went on the roller coaster…no pictures though). We saw the Lions at the MGM Grand. It was feeding time shortly after we got there so it was fun to see the little trainer guys in the cage with the lions chucking raw meat into their mouths.

I guess the cool new way to advertise everything is for people to were these little sign things on their backs and walk up and down the strip…at night the signs lit up…I guess if Landscaping or ICOM don’t work out for Dustin then we can both do that for a living

We gambled ;), Went to build a bear to get some goodies for the girlies, went to Hoover Dam (so glad my mom and dad came down for a few days!)

On our actual anniversary, the ‘rents took us to a nice din din and afterwards we went to Fremont Street. I have never been down there before, it is pretty cool because they do shows to music on the HUGE screen above the road. When we were there they did one to the “bye bye miss American pie” song

Sad to go, but happy to see our babies again!

I have to say how much I enjoyed spending time with my Hubbo for 5 days. It was awesome and definitely something that we needed.  I can’t believe it has been five years since we were sealed in the temple for time and eternity. I am so grateful to be able to share my life with him, and I am excited for all the years to come.

black bogging (not a racial slur)

Time to do some back blogging. For my birthday (April 4th-mark your calendars) I received a new camera for my purse from mi familia.  I finally uploaded the pictures from this thing and remember now an important trip that never reached my blogging records. Around April 10th or so we went with Dustin on a training extravaganza for ICOM 911. The girlfriends and I stayed at the hotel mostly swimming, but made a few excursions to the mall down the street and to the OMSI center in Portland with our dear friend Gail. These are some pictures that will now document our trip.

 

  

One picture of Kendall for Calley…I told you she is always just in the stroller :)

On the trip down there, she passed out like this…too funny

Being a girl

 

Ry has already made her way into the world of numerous haircuts, I was able to finally catch one in action because Grandma Sockick did it for her instead of me. I think she listens better to grandma  anyway.

Wow

Since it has been so nice outside these days, we have been taking advantage of the nice lawn that Dusto put in for us.

  

Kendall has discovered her feet and loves to SUCK her toes. Actually, the other night I put some footy PJ’s on her and she was mad because she couldn’t get to them. I keep telling everyone that she is just “a funny girl” there is no other way to describe her. She loves to make us laugh,and does the craziest facial expressions to get a reaction (see picture #2)

Ry loves these pompom things I got for some crafts with her. Instead of making something out of them she just likes to play with them. We discovered that they stick to hair well. She likes to call them butterflies for some reason. She is full of crazy talk these days. Crystal and Mike brought her a coconut bra/grass skirt home from Hawaii and she officially calls the coconut bra her “boobies” (is that appropriate to say on here?) I am not kidding, she came out from the bathroom the other day and I guess had found it because she told me she  “found her boobies”.  In case you were wondering, Ariel has “boobies” and she isn’t scared to tell you that little tidbit.

 

Dustin is working his bottom off. His favorite saying is “gotta make hay while the sun shines”. Between dispatching and landscaping I feel like a single mom most of the time, but it will be worth it in the end to be out of debt.  Whenever he is home he makes us his priority even though his phone is ringing off the hook. We love having such great hard working man in our lives and can’t wait for him to be home more. Especially so Kendall can give him more back rubs…eventually without the burp cloth (she is the spit up queen you know).

The End
