On friday Jon was able to come home early from work and we joined Marc and Mere's family to cascade springs. It was so fun to go up the canyon and enjoy the great outdoors! Owen was a little trooper and stayed in his backback the whole time. Emma and Sophie had so much fun walking and reaching over the walk way to feel the freezing water! When we get the chance to head up the canyon for the afternoon and hike and have fun as a family it makes me so grateful that we live here!

So I know that I have been the WORST blogger ever! I don't have very many good excuses but one is that my camera got broken in January and it took me until June to take it in and get fixed! So the first half of the year I don't have very many pictures! But now that my camera is working again I have no more excuses and have to start blogging again!
First up is the Spanish Fork Rodeo! Eric and Holly always invite us to go and we are always busy or out of town! We haven't been since we have had kids! First we went to the carnival and went on some crazy and dizzy rides! Then we were off to the rodeo. We love rodeos! This year was fun because Emma and Sophie were a little bit older and actually enjoyed the whole thing! I loved telling them that they were going to see REAL COWBOYS! They didn't believe me until we got there and they could see for themselves.
Logan had his first birthday a few weeks before he turned one! I keep meaning to email the pics to Chelsea but keep forgetting. So here is a really late (may 23rd) happy birthday to Logan!!! And some pics for Chelsea to enjoy!
All I need to say is....what was I thinking??? What mom puts there tiny baby in a pretend baby stroller and lets her kids push him around.....that's right, ME!!! Owen was 6 weeks old!
So as I mentioned before, we headed to sunny California for our break! I look back and wonder what I was thinking! I flew pretty much by myself (Chelsea was on the same plane, but unfortunately we were on complete ends of the plane!) It actually went pretty good! Emma and Owen slept the whole flight and Soph was content to just sit and talk! Unfortunately I didn't take too many pictures! We mostly played in the pool and relaxed and enjoyed all the family and extra hands to help! Thanks Everyone!
I love Easter! But when I look back to I don't remember much! My sweet little Owen was about a month old...so we were still adjusting to a new life and 3 little ones! I loved the girls Easter dresses and thought they looked so sweet in them! We left for California that night! That will come in the next post!
Well I finally got my pictures thanks to Lindsey taking pity on me and running to Inkley's to pick them up for me!
Ok I have been hassled a little for some pics and update on Owen...
We decided to take a quick break and head to CA for Emma's birthday! It was really rainy but was still way warmer! For Emma's birthday we went to the American Girl Store in LA where Emma's doll got her ears pierced and her hair done. And Sophie got to pick out her baby for Christmas. It was so much fun! I thought Sophie would be too little to understand what she was doing but she loved every minute of it! The worst part of the trip was the 2 hour drive home! The traffic was horrible! Poor Lindsey got stuck being in the back seat with a very delirious Sophie, who would alternate from screaming as loud as she could to laughing!
