Slip n slid video

This is a very unclear version of Regan going down the fun slip n slide with a snow sled! So much fun!!

Still a kid at heart!

Last night, Regan and I had the time of our lives! It just goes to show you that you still can have fun as an adult! For our friends birthday, he made a HUGE slip and slide out of billboard vinyl posters and nailed them down a very steep hill in Sandy! When you have water, baby soap and slippery material, you are bound to have a great time! I am glad that we wore goggles because the baby soap got in everyone's eyes! I want to always remember to do something SO fun on my birthday to remember that we are all just a kid at heart!

1st day of Kindergarten!

Today is a bittersweet day! My oldest child is entering school today, and mom is a little scared about it! The good part is that Riley couldn't wait to get on the bus and get into his classroom! It would have been so much harder if he was scared, but this time it was the mom who was scared! Regan and I are probably wierd parents, but Regan followed the school bus the whole way to school, and I met Riley at school to make sure he got to his classroom okay! Anyway, here is a cute picture of Riley's 2 little sisters saying goodbye to him! Life will never be the same now!!!!

PTA Mom-I'm there!

So my oldest child is in school, so what do you expect of a concerned parent and an old 1st grade teacher? Of course I will be on the PTA! My friend asked if I would do bulletin boards for the pta, so here is my 1st one! I really do miss teaching school and the excitement of the 1st day of school!!!!

Bear World

So our friends convinced us that we NEEDED to go to Bear World in Rexburg, so we decided to take them up on it and pay the $75 to go!!!!! I have to say it was pretty cool-driving around with bears coming up to your car, and a wolf trying to bite our bike tires on the back of the car was pretty cool! They had fun rides for the kids, a great petting zoo and cute little bear cubs!

Island Park

More fun pictures of Island Park!

Family Time

We just got home from Island Park where we spent some great time with Regan's family! We went to the Beautiful Mesa Falls {I went with my Roommates my 2nd year at Ricks-good times! I even passed by my old apartment; good old Birch 302~!} Went on a dirty 4 wheeler ride and just got lost for 3 hours, went in the hot tub on the porch, played horseshoes and Bacci Ball, played cards, talked a lot, andwent to the big springs. We had a great time!

Caution: Many photos to come!

Star Wars & Tired Girls!

Riley was the 1st one chosen to be in the Star Wars show at Disneyland! He was trained by a jedi master how to use his light saber and then really did fight darth vedar with the light saber! He thought it was pretty cool! Sunny and Elle really did do a good job being a disneyland from 8 am to midnight but they did take a few little naps throughout the day! Everything Sunny was able to ride, Elle rode it as well so it worked out great with a baby at disneyland {especially with the rider switch pass!}

The Fam

So we went on the Oceanside Vacation with my whole family and it was a blast to be with them to whole time! We went to Disneyland for a day and the highlight for me was to eat a delicious lunch at the Blue Bayou which is in the Pirates of the Carribean ride. All 13 of us were able to eat at a table right by the water in the darkness and watch the pirates boats glide by while eating our fabulous monte cristo sandwiches! Between all 13 of us, let's just say we had a LOT of luggage, but luckily we had 2 rental suv's and all 13 of us and our luggage fit just great! Have you ever been to a Bug's Life show in California Adventures? It is hilarious!

The Girls

Elle and Sunny had a great trip I think! They wore matching dresses to Disneyland that looked like Minney Mouse and went to Minney Mouse's house, Sunny also wore her Snow White dress, Elle ate a lot of sand and then pooped it out in her diapers, and Sunny absolutly LOVED the beach!

Food, Food, Food

Trips are all about Food right? Well, in Regan's case that is so true! He looks forward to all of the different kinds of food we will be eating while on vacation!
*The picture of him eating a HUGE burger is at a cafe named Ruby's that is on the Oceanside Peir.
*The picture of him eating a turkey leg is from Disneyland and it was HUGE! He had to go searching for it since he was drooling over other people eating it!
*The picture of the HUGE pizza doesn't even look that big compared to what it really was! This pizza was 26 inches and the box alone was like reaching your arms as wide as you could. Seriously, this one pizza fed 13 people!
*The picture of Britta blowing out 29 candles was when we went to Hunington Beach to visit our great friends the Holmes! We celebrated Britta's birthday by eating a delicious chocolae cake {Like the one in Matilda!}
*The picture of Britta and I is because we had a delicious dinner at the Holmes house on Sunday and enjoyed hanging out with them in their gorgeous house in Hungington Beach!

Paradise, Sunburn & Oceanair

From our window, we had an amazing view of the ocean. It was just like paradise and so relaxing! {It would have been 10 times more relaxing without kids though!}
Can you see how bad I got sunburned on our first Beach day based off of my 2nd ocean day swimsuit? WOW-I never learn!

Oceanside, California!

We just got home from an amazing trip to Oceanside, California with my whole family! We had a blast going to the beach which we walked to from our condo! WOW-how would it be to wake up every day and walk to the beack? The weather was amazing too! It was so beautiful and the water felt great! Elle ate a lot of sand, Sunny loved being in the waves with Regan and Riley loved boogie boarding and pretending to surf!
Let's just say that I LOVE the BEACH!!!
