Pebble Beach

We had a wonderful time in California. It was so fun to spend time with Ryan's parents and Granmda White! We also loved having Scott, Shea, Scottee, and Hadlee there for some of the trip. Here is a recap in pictures!
Easton and Daddy on the airplane!Brady and Scottee!I love this picture! Scottee was so excited to be on the airplane and carry her Dora suitcase!As soon as we got there we had dinner and Grandpa started playing with and reading to the kids. He is such a great Grandpa!On Saturday we went with Grandma to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The kids loved it and were we not all starving and time for a nap, we could have stayed longer. That night we walked out on the golf course and saw the beautiful sunset!After we got the kids in bed we had fun playing Bananagrams! I think we got Shea hooked. The next day we decided to take the kids to the beach and let them play in the sand. The weather was beautiful but the water was freezing. They didn't seem to care and had no problem getting wet. They started out fully clothed and ended up completely naked. I was so embarrassed but they were having so much fun I tried not to care. I didn't take any pictures of that! There were dogs running wild all over the beach and they didn't even seem to bother Brady and Easton. If you know my kids (or me) at all you would know this was shocking. At the end of this video there was a dog bigger than me that almost took Easton out. You can kind of see the shadow of it. It was so funny/scary. Our cute family on the beach!As you can see we had a wonderful time with Scott and Shea! They went home that night and our family stayed a few more days! Stay tuned...pictures from those days to come!

Easton Gary

We recently found out Brady and Easton kind of know their ABCs and can count to 10. The things your kids learn when you let them watch TV. (I know I am such a good mom but I bet you do it too.) When we were in Cali Ryan took Brady to the store and I was hanging out with Easton on the porch and took this video. He usually can do it better than this but was a little distracted but I thought this was pretty funny! Here you go Abbey!

I wish I lived in Utah right now so I could go to this. First of all, I think Mindy Gledhill is amazing! Second, and most important, this concert benefits Stephanie Nielsen. I think it would be a wonderful FHE and you would be helping out someone in need! So go if you can...I wish I could!

Here She Comes...Miss America!!!

Aleena was able to get tickets to the preliminary round of Miss America through Geoff's work. We went on Tuesday night and had so much fun! We were able to see a little bit of everything as the girls were split up in groups and took turns doing talent, interview, swim suit, and evening gown. Miss Utah did swim suit and evening gown and I thought she looked great in both (I am a little biased though). We sat right in front of the Teen Miss America runner ups and they were so cute. They were decked out in their evening gowns and had their hair and makeup all fancy. They were sweet to talk to us and explain how it all works. It was a fun girls night out! I love these girls!Shea, Sarah, Rachel, Aleena

Fun in the Sun!

We have been having the most beautiful weather lately. The boys and I have been loving every minute of it! We have spent many days at the park and hanging out in the backyard. Today I took the boys and their friend Scottee to the park. These 3 are the best of friends and have so much fun together. They were cracking me up. Squinting cause the sun is so bright! I got them all their own Gatorade and they had to carry them everywhere they went. They were worn out from running around so they had to "rest" in Scottee's dollhouse!

More Fun!

When we were in Utah we went to the MV basketball game! The boys loved it!Brady and Aria!Abbey and Easton!Kylee is the sweetest girl around! She is a fabulous reader and the boys loved having her read to them!I just love these boys! We have adjusted to being home and getting back to our normal routine. These kids make me a little crazy most days but I love every minute of being their mom!
