Salmon weekend #1

So every March and October we go camping up to Salmon and go Steelhead fishing. I love it!! I love the scenery, the weather, the company, everything!! The weather up there is gorgous compared to home. On Saturday it was in the low 60's. Long sleeved shirts and no coats! Awesome! So here is a picture of Skylar and Evan in Izzie's dog house. The kids loved playing in there, and most of the time Izzie was in there with them! While we were up there it was Skylar's birthday, and my parents bought her this wagon. I love it! I have wanted one for my kids for a long time. So this was really convienient so we could go on walks. The other 2 kids are my friends Daphne's kids. Wyatt and Peyton. This wagon load was pretty heavy though. Especially when we would have to go up hills!

The kids playing in the wagon again!

Grandpa and Evan fishing! I love this picture! Funny thing is Evan only had on a bobber and a sinker on his line. It was perfect! He thought he was fishing, and we didn't have to watch him real close incase he got a bite. We may have to put a worm on his hook this next weekend though. He had a hard time with everyone else catching fish and he didn't!

Derek and his first fish of the weekend. All in all he caught 5, had to put one back because it was a wild and not a hatchery fish. This is the only picture we took. I wasn't with him when he caught his other 4 and I had the camera!!!

I am sooo ready to head back up to Salmon this weekend!!! Wish us luck!

Skylar's 2nd Birthday!!!

Busy busy weekend! We went to Salmon for the weekend, got home Sunday at 4 and had Skylar's birthday party at 7. Which isn't so bad, but I had to make her cake for her. So if it doesn't look good.......that's why. I was in a hurry! Evan wasn't feeling too good on Sunday, so he is being kindof goofy in this picture. I wanted to do a Minnie Mouse theme, but it is hard to find anything birthday stuff that has minnie on it! Everything is Tinkerbell and Princess stuff. So I found these cheesy Mickey ears. They look kinda dorky, but oh well!

Here is a picture of her cake. It didn't quiet turn out like the cake in my head, but it worked. The pans I bought were pretty thick, so I assumed the cakes would be that thick. But they weren't. I guess I didn't put enough batter into them. So the layers were small, but overall I think it turned out pretty cute.

Skylar and Grandma before her party started!

Happy Birthday baby girl!!! She is at the point where she is putting sentences together. It is way cute to hear her talk. She thinks she is as big as her brother (which she almost is) but there is a big difference in ability to do stuff. She sure tries to do everything he does though. She loves to take off her clothes. Don't ask me why! She is always walking around with no pants on. Or she goes through her dresser and pulls out all her pants/shorts and tries to put them all on. I have had friends who have girls who are obsessed with clothes and shoes and necklas's and makeup, but I am suprised at how it is pretty much in little girl's DNA to like that stuff! She always is pulling my shoes out of the closet, putting on makeup when mommy does, she now has to pick out what she wears (funny but frustrating). She puts a smile on my face every day and she definantly is my little princess!!!

Winter Fun

So other than Christmas, we really haven't been doing much. And I don't want to post Christmas pictures in February!! :) But we sure have had fun in the snow! (Except for Skylar! She doesn't like getting all bundled up and going outside). One of our favorite spots to go sledding is out on my grandparents driveway. They live out on the Menan Butte's, so their driveway is a perfect sledding area. This picture is of Skylar and my grandparents. She didn't want to go sledding. Even though we tried once. She cried the whole way down! Here is my little man making snow angels. He LOVES playing outside in the snow!

My little princess!! Doesn't she look cute??


Here is Evan getting pulled back up the hill! He loves sledding!!

Our one attempt to get her sledding. She wasn't too happy with me!!

We hope everyone's winter is going good!! It's almost springtime!! YAY!

Gingerbread Houses

Every year we go out to my parents house and make gingerbread houses. They aren't real gingerbread though. They are wood cut outs that you can just wash up and re use next year. Anyways, so this is a picture of all of them. It goes Evan's, mine, Derek's, Dakota's and my mom's. They all turned out really cute! I made Evan's out of grahm crackers. It turned out way cute!! And Derek's......well, Derek has alot of fun making these as you can tell. He added a second story on his house :-)

Evan's cute little house, mommy and daddy's mansion!

Dakota and my mom!

And cute little Skylar! Isn't she adorable?? She didn't make one, but she sure ate enough candy, Probably as much as would go on a house!! Gotta love her!

And my favorite little boy!! This is his first year making houses and he is just so proud of his house!! At first when we put frosting on, and had him grab some candy, he asked "what do I do?? Put these in my mouth??" Haha. After we explained that the candy goes on the house, he had alot of fun making this. It is still out to my mom's, and he keeps asking me why it isn't at our house. Poor little guy! :-)

Santa is coming to town!!

So every year, Rigby does a little Chrismas parade and Santa comes to town! So I decided to bundle up the kids and take them out to the parade. Evan loved the parade, and Skylar didn't. Sigh! It would be nice for them both to be on the same page! :-) Anyways, after the parade we went to see Santa. In this picture, Skylar is doing pretty good, but as soon as I try to put her on his lap with Evan, she freaked out! Evan on the other hand was super excited. This is the first year that he finally get's it. When Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, he just said "I don't know." Then Santa started asking him what he likes to do, and he said he likes vroom vroom cars. So now anytime anyone asks him about Santa, he says "Santa is going to come to my house and bring me presents. He is going to bring me a vroom vroom car!" Too cute!! Good thing he is getting some cars!

Craft Fair

I'm not sure how many people even look at my blog!! :) But this is worth a shot I guess?? Just wanted to let everyone know about the Craft Fair this coming Saturday (14th) from 10-5 at the Rigby High School. I have a booth in it, the first time ever doing that, and I am a little nervous! Hope it all goes well!! Anyways, come enjoy the fair and stop by and say Hi! By the way....there are over 90 vendors!!

Halloween

Here are a couple of pictures of my adorable kiddo's!! Incase you can't tell, Evan is a pirate, and Skylar is a tulip fairy. Of course I had to put long pants and shirt on them though, which isn't fun. We went to our ward Halloween party and the kids had a blast. They had a costume contest, and Evan won for the 3-4 year olds. He was sooo excited! That night when we came home and got ready for bed and were saying our prayers, after every sentence, he would say"and eat lots of candy." Derek and I made the mistake of laughing the first time. He didn't stop after that. He always puts a smile on my face! I am totally in love with my kids! Hope you all had a fun Halloween also!
