California Adventure

We started our trip with a 15 passenger van and a mini van and 17 people. Which included both my brothers, my sister, mom and all my nieces and nephews (minus one niece and her family. We missed you Jamie). We stayed at my sisters house in St. George the first night. Yes all 17 of us it was an adventure and we were mostly on the floor but it was worth it. Thanks Tiff. The next day we stopped in Vegas at Bass Pro.  Yes Brian was driving one of the vans =) Then we made our way to California. The first day he hit California adventure and had dinner with the princess’s. Paislee was so excited to see the princess’s it was money well spent.

Happy Birthday Dylan

Since it was Dylans Birthday last week we got everyone together to celebrate. We went to the cheesecake factory first and then to scheels.

Brent and Brian had the boys posing like they were peeing with a mt lion looking at them. Can’t leave them alone for one minute.

We had a great day. But then again we always do when we get together.

Ice Fishing Starvation

We decided to pick up Dylan and go our to starvation reservoir to ice fish. We ended up not catching anything. But we had a great time visiting family and drinking hot cocoa=)

Mitchell giving Paislee a ride. I don’t think he appreciated it when Brady jumped on too=)

Cousins

Ice fishing is pretty hard work!

St George and Krissa’s Adoption Day

I love going to see my sis in St. George and it doesn’t hurt that it was 58 degrees there and no inversion. It  may have rained a little but it was warm. My kids love going to see there cousins. In fact while we are there my kids are constantly occupied which makes the trip so relaxing. As we were driving one day Paislee told Brady to be quiet because she was trying to find her inner peace. We went to the Sweet Tooth Fairy one day and I got the kids all something. Brady wanted to buy some more treats with his own money but he was short one dollar. So he walked up to my sis, mom and I and said “which one of you lovely ladies wants to help a little boy out and loan me a dollar.”

‘ The next morning we woke up and I told Brady to get dressed. He accidently grabbed Paislee’s pants instead of his and put them on. When he came out he looked like he had really skinny jeans on. I still don’t know how he even got them on. Paislee was laughing at him and he said I don’t know why your laughing I don’t have any underwear on. That kid always has a come back. Just like his daddy.We had such a great time and now we are planning a Disney vacation with the whole family. Shhh don’t tell my kids. They are going to be so excited. Heck I’m excited I’ve never been to disney either.

Brooklyn, Krissa, and Ava

Brady and Nathan slept in the garage (man cave) all three nights.

Paislee was quit the mother hen. If she wasn’t doing Ava’s hair she was asking her if she needed to potty train or asking tiff if she could change Colton’s diaper. In fact Krissa and Paislee changed their first poopy diaper last weekend. They are old hands at it now.

Krissa and Brooklyn made up this Rule Book for Girls. I have to say its pretty funny.

Colton loved getting piggy back rides from Krissa. If she sat him down he would immediately throw a tantrum it was too cute.

If these boys weren't in the man cave they were playing Mine craft.

We celebrated Krissa’s adoption day while we were down there. In fact she got a little spoiled we usually just do a cake. But this year Tiff got her a Piñata and she got to spend the day with extended family. We are so lucky to have this little girl. She is turning into a young woman right before me. I’m not sure how to handle it.
