It was so gorgeous going through the trees and brush

Dang the ride is over. We also climbed the Dunn River Falls it was amazing and so much fun.

This is after the 625 foot climb to the top. I didn't take pictures because well who wants to ruin there camera.

The sunsets were well you can see.

I've always wanted to come here and yes there is banks everywhere

We had the chance to swim with HUGE sting rays. This is nick holding one. I jumped out to snap a picture. There was about twenty or so. They were so neat and a little scary but I did it.

On our snorkeling adventure it was so much fun. You guessed it I'm not hard to please I was so excited to be anywhere.

This is on of the streets ocean on one town on other.

A lady took a picture at least you can see us.

It was so blue and the water here is the saltest ever.

Look how big Nick guns our(whooowoo)

Our last night

Well lets just say how blessed we were to get to go on a vacation. I was so happy I would have been happy for anywhere at this point in time, but the cards were on are side. We found the best deal half the price and we flew the kids to Texas it was meant to happen. So here is our trip in a nut shell. We love to cruise and hope to go on more in the future.

Saturday of our vacation

We went for a ride to see the wild flowers They were so blue and growing like crazy
The kids were in heaven
The boys even enjoyed it

It was the perfect place with the windmill I loved it

This is as good as we get

It was fun for us to be with Grandpa and Grandma

Here is a field with orange ones and blue bonnets

I just love these picturesWho wouldn't love these boys

This field was all yellow we couldn't get enough

All Kate wanted was pink ones and you guessed it we found some

The kids trying to help Kolby in the tree

At the creamery

Some of the best Ice Cream I have ever had. We had a fun day thanks for all the fun grandpa and grandma. On Sunday we were able to have a little Ester and then go to church with them. Then they drove us down to the ship. When we pulled up Kolby said "is that your boat it is a hotel". They thought it was so cool so did I.

Our Spontaneous Vacation

Just like at home giving the kids a ride

Kate who wouldn't love this kid

Kolby love that kid

Bridger always trying to make me laugh

The kids and grandpa

I seriously took like ten picture before she would let me get one she is way to cool for this.

We decided we needed to go some where for our anniversary and the kids had spring break so a week and two days before we decided to bust for Texas to see Nicks parents. And we asked them to watch our kids why we went on a cruise. They are truly amazing for watching our kids. We left here on Friday morning bright and early and flew to Texas. They picked us up and we got to a meet people in there ward in there class at a Easter party at Ben & Pam's. They always know how to throw a big party with plenty of food. It was fun for the kids to have a Easter hunt and they made some friends. Thanks for the fun party we loved it.

What 10 how did that happen!!!

two crazy kids
Happy Anniversary to my adorable cute hubby. I know it's crazy but on the 6Th it was our tenth anniversary. It is true when life gets going it really gets going. We have had an amazing ten years, yes there has been a little bit of up and downs but for the most part it has been great. I couldn't have picked a more perfect mate. I love having my best friend by my side. We love how far we have come. We have four beautiful children who keep us on our toes. We have our wonderful home that keeps us busy inside and out. We have a wonderful family to keep the down time busy(wait what down time). What's been the best part is I get to spend time with Nick. I know it sounds cheesy but if you know me I want to spend all my time with him. Even if we our running to a job to fix something or running to the endless store of Walmart. I hope the next ten calm down a little bit who em I kidding bring on the teenage years and some gray hairs but a least I get to do it with my best friend. Happy Anniversary sweetheart

I can't be getting older

Yes it is a scary site. I can't believe how fast time goes. If you know me I'm still just a kid raising little kids. Thanks to my cute family we had a fun time together all day. It is nice to have a birthday on a Saturday so I can spend the whole day with my family. They took me out to the Texas Roadhouse lets just say it's our family favorite place to go. On Friday night Nick took me out on a date. It was so needed he was out of town all week working on a church in no mans land. It was so fun we went to Brick Oven my very favorite place. My parents used to take me there since I was little. Then he drove to the mall and said lets go shopping. This is not what I expected Nick doesn't like to shop. So this time we have no kids and he is willing to shop I find nothing. So he told me we will do it again. I totally will hold him to it, because it is so nice to shop without a Child hiding under the racks or screaming to go to Build a Bear. I hope the next year will be just as fun and some of my goals achieved.(triathlon here I come)

Maddie's First

On Sunday we were able to go to the temple dedication. It was so neat because we had our Maddie with us. I can't believe how big she is. She loved it, she was so amazed how the whole thing worked. I love her and the little women she is. I'm so happy to be living in an area where you can pretty much drive over any hill and see a temple and another and another. What a wonderful place to live. I love Utah!!

I want to be like Daddy

My Little NerdsMaddie, Bridger and Kolby
So Nick and I were doing some computer work. We could here the kids giggling. We were wondering now what are they getting into. And this is what we found.
