DINOSAURS!

Ashton loves dinosaurs! He even calls all of them by their correct names, including Dimetridon. I took him the the Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah and he was in heaven! He was so cute because he wanted to wear his little dinosaur shirt there!

4th of July

We LOVE the 4th of July! Every year we go to the Murray parade with Brian's family and attend a bbq at his Grandparents house and then have a party with our friends in the evening. We had the party this year at our house, it was a blast! We lit fireworks and were able to watch the West Jordan fireworks on our roof. Jeremy and Audrey were up for the weekend so the boys took Ashton four-wheeling and up to a lake on Saturday while I spent the day with Audrey and Ellie, we had so much fun! The kids were awesome all day even though they were hot and tired. Ellie sat and watched the whole parade just waving her little flag while Ashton tried to retrieve as much candy as he could. Ellie was funny because she loves to blow spit through straws, yes I know, very lady like, so that also entertained her for awhile. It is so funny because Ellie will just stand everywhere, but hasn't quite decided to take her first steps yet so Ashton will always tell her that it is time for her to walk now. At the parade, I think that he was grateful that she couldn't get to the candy as fast as he could though!

I have a girl!

I remember thinking that there were certain things that I couldn't wait to do if I ever had a girl, one of them was getting her a cabage patch doll and another was putting her hair in pigtails, I have reached a milestone! She is so stinking cute these days!

Swimsuit season is here!

We have been loving going to the pool and running through the sprinklers! I just can't understand why everyone thinks it is so adorable when Ellie's chub is hanging out all over the place and when I look just the same, I get a different kind of look, sometimes things are just different for babies I guess!

Sometimes being a dinosaur can be just plain exhausting!

Continued pictures from girls trip!

So I don't know how to post more that 5 pics per blog, so here are some more, I have so many that I wish I could post them all!

Greatest Girls Trip Ever!

So my closest girlfriends and I decided that it was time to leave the men at home and head out for a week of fun. We went to Las Vegas and Los Angeles and had the time of our lives. We didn't leave anything out from a spa day, nice dinners, going to the ocean, dancing at clubs, hitting up Six Flags, and trying to spot stars on Sunset Blvd. It was a time that I will never forget. I am so furtunate to have a great hubby who will take care of things on the home front for me to get away and also to have the greatest girlfriends in the world!
