Cotton Candy and Snow Cones

Some of the fun things we do with our friends. That is my crazy friend in the background, she is wearing an apricot colored shirt, you know just in case you thought she didn't have any shirt on.

Just playin' around

This picture is a few years old but I still love it. We were having simple family pictures taken up at the Berg and Beans was being her usual stubborn self and not wanting to take her thumb out of her mouth or smile. So we did a silly face and she took one look at her sisters and their silly faces and jumped right in. It was my favorite one from the group.

Looking forward to the warm weather

Yesterday and all last night it snowed. Waking up to white in the morning is a little difficult after we've been having such beautiful weather. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and hanging out in the hammock and using the fire pit and roasting marshmallows to make s'mores. Summers here are amazing!!! 

Have I mentioned we like to do girly things?!

Cause we totally like to do girly things in our home. We had some Jamberry nail wraps to try and it was a lot of fun to have super cool designs on our fingers we can't paint or stamp on.

Zip Lining with Thing 1 and 2

Brian and I have enjoyed zip lining so much we decided to go to the the older girls. They had a blast. Thing 2 would just RUN off the platform. She also had a hard time stopping because she is so small.

My kinda breakfast

Breakfast of champions. The girls love to get a mouthful of whipped cream. Thing 2 calls it whupt cream. I'm okay with that. I think it is from her mom's southern roots.

Hanging out with a famous producer/director

We are totally stars now. Just wait for the movie to come out. ;D

Okay so Autumn isn't famous...YET!! She is so cool and I can say we were buddies since we were little. It was fun hanging out with her and Ry while Aut was filming her movie Waffle Street. She even let us be extras.

CMEs in HAWAIIIIIIII

B was able to do his CME (continuing medical education classes) in HI this past summer and so we went and had a blast. 

 We went to the HI temple.

 Dinner at an out door resturant.

 Hiking the volcano crater.

 Zip lining and repelling. Zip Lining is a BLAST. Repelling takes a little more courage for me to do. As you can tell, I'm a total chicken. Bok-bok.

My absolute favorite part was snorkeling with the Manta rays. I love them. A LOT! 

We also fell in love with these fellows on the beach. NO we didn't touch them. They are all over just hanging out and sunbathing. Super awesome. Seriously, SUPER COOL!! The girls want to go one day and we keep telling them they have to be old enough to REMEMBER IT!! I think when each one turns 16 or 18 we will take them on a one on two parent trip.

All Worn Out

This is how I like the girls to be when we head back from our adventures. I think means they had a great time and wore themselves out. They usually still sleep really well at night too.

SPRING BREAK

We took the girls to a fun center on the other side of the mountain one day in spring break. I'd have more pictures of the older girls but they were off having too much fun and running too fast for me to get their picture.

Happy Easter

When I went out to see the eclipse I came back in and saw the Easter Bunny had come to our home. The girls loved their baskets! I loved mine too!

The Lunar Eclipse

We got to see this crystal clear. It was pretty awesome. I've always wanted to see one but slept in instead. I finally got out of bed for this one and I was so glad I did.

The aquarium

 Getting ready to watch the 4D movie. Super fun to get water sprayed in your face. No lie, it was cool.

 This snake is gorgeous. I love her. Who doesn't love watching penguins? They are the cutest.

 This is the interactive riverbed. You can move your hands and splash the water. The girls call this bridge the Bridge of DOOM. It is pretty fun.

While Little Brother and his family were in town for their spring break we took them to the closest aquarium. We then went again the next week with B caused we loved it so much. Plus, we got a membership so we will be going much more often over the next year. It really is awesome.

Girls' trip to Vegas.

I love these ladies. We took a trip to Vegas just the three of us. They are such great friends!!

Dying Easter Eggs

I bought these fake eggs to dye for the girls this year. That way my brother and his family don't have to worry about them breaking or rotting in their car on their way back home. They didn't dye as well as real eggs, but the girls had fun. The black ones were chalkboard ones for them to color on. I should have bought fewer chalk ones so they could have messed with more colors. Oh well, next time!!

Short family hike

It was really short. Kind of a bust actually. BUT then we went and fed ducks and did a geo caching and tried a few other things. They all kind of fell through. HAHA. We tried though.

My birthday!!

We took everyone to a pool close by to swim and play for a few hours. SO MUCH FUN!  I tired to do the high jump, I'm still terrified of the high dive.
