Yellowstone!

SO, I can't even tell you how many things I have NOT blogged about! I really would like to get better with it as well as better with scrap booking my pictures within a timely manner...Anyway, this was our visit to Yellowstone. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures because Savannah was convinced that she needed to take all the pictures and I can't tell you how many I have of her face and the portable DVD player (yes she meant to take all those because she is going to make a book) This page here shows pretty much what we did anyways...animals, hikes, swimming and FUDGESICLES!!!

Digital Scrapbooking!

Last night at work we were really slow, luckily I took my laptop to swork! This gave me the opportunity to once again attempt this digital scrapbooking thing! My sister in law Amber designs the digital scrapbook kits and other digital scrapbook stuff (stolen moments at http://scrapmatters.com/). Her pages are always so cute and fantastic! So, last night I attempted some layouts and I think I am starting to get the hang of it. Here are my attempts!

New Trailer! (at least for us! )

Today we are the officiall owners of this gorgeous 1966, 20 footish (not really sure), Oasis trailer. It belonged to my grandparents and they decided it was time to get rid of it. It has been sitting in their garage for the past 10 years! It is in awesome shape as you can tell from the pictures...

here is the outside.

the entry way/table area also doubles as a full/queen sleeping area.

the actual kitchen/hallway.

sitting area also doubles as the sleeping area. A bunk over a full/queen bed.

and of course....tada! A bathroom! :)

As you can see this is an awesome trailer! We are so excited to be able to have one to go camping in. We had often thought of buying one, but it never fit into our finances really well with job ups and downs we figured it wasn't necessary! This was in a way and answer to prayers because we absolutley love to camp and this will make it so much easier for us to go! THANK YOU GRANDMA and GRANDPA!!

I survived!

This is me coming into the finish line!

I finally made it out to run a race. I ran my first 10K on Earth Day this year. I was with 4 other ladies who are also on the team for the Ragnar Realy Race we are doing in June! This has been an awesome oppurtunity not only to start getting into shape, but to also meet some other fabulous women!! The race was good I had a 10:08 pace and finished 8th in my age group! (it sounds good, but really there were only 15 in my age group!) I felt like I did pretty well, but the last 2 days I have been sooo sore! Hopefully I will get back into my groove tomorrow!

Jeep Safari 2010

Driving the trails!

"airing down" Porter learned how it al works this year!

Meeting up with old friends that come down from Michigan!

Over Easter we once again treaveled down to Moab for the Jeep Safari! We took both jeeps down, the white cherokee and the new 4-door wrangler. It was fun to take the new jeep out and see what it could do since we haven't really put much into it at this point! These pictures above just give a little glimpse of what we did. We also had an easter eg hunt on Saturday on one of the trails. It was fun, and yes we did miss geeral confrence like we do every year (but thank goodness for TIVO we can watch it when we get back!) I hope everyone had a fun easter!!

Savannah is 4!

I can't believe that Savannah turned 4 this week! Are we old enough to have a 4 year old?? j/k! She is getting so big and i a gorgeous girl! We had a Pinkalicious party with 6 of her friends. It was a blast and the boys didn't even mind the pink! (probably because they were 3 and 4!)

JEEP...

Yesterday we bought Matt a new jeep. Here it is in all it's glory! j/k just wait for the jeep safari pictures this year! :) And, if anyone wants to buy a used one we are selling the old one we had!

AQUARIUM FUN

Porter and Sadie

The babies!

Leap frog....Hunter, Taylor, Savannah

Loaded up in the car...who would have thought 4 carseats would be needed for this adventure!

So, on Tuesday i borrowed my parents durango and packed up 2 31/2 year olds, 2 15 month olds and ventured off to the Aquarium. We also met up with one of my friends and her 2 kids!

We had a blast and everyone was exhausted when we got home. (including me)

Valentines Day...

For Valentines Day we had a treasure hunt. This picture is Savannah and Porter checking out their Loot from the treasure hunt!

For breakfast we had pink lemonade, pink eggs, and pink heart pancakes!

The Kids...

Porter latest and favorite thing to do is play in the sink!!

New Shoes, New Year....

Well, it's a new year. 16 weeks off and I should officially be healed from my previous running injury. I bought new shoes and started back on the training. I have big hopes and plans for the year if my body will hold out! I would love to run a half marathon before trying to have another kid, since i never got to last year! I have my eyes set on the Provo half on May 1. The half of course is only if i can make the miles happen without getting an injury. My main goal this year is to run the Wasatch Back Relay on June 18th. I am in a group with 12 other girls in and around my neighboorhood. We are being sponsored so this race of course will be what i am really training for...so wish me luck and strength and is start out on this path!!!
