Dream Vacation

Jared is always teasing me about planning vacation on the way home from a vacation. What can I say? I love to go on vacations! So here is basically my dream vacation:

That's right...it's Atlantis in the Bahamas. The last time I made up a dream itinerary it was going to cost us about 5 grand. Pocket change? Right. Hopefully I can go someday, preferably when I still look halfway decent in a swimsuit.

Camping again?

For something that I really don't enjoy doing, I sure have been camping alot this year. I am learning to like it more because my kids love it and I am starting to realize that it's not just about me anymore!













We decided to go out by Mosida with my whole family and the Epperson cousins. It was a blast, even G&G Epperson came out for the day.













Tre loves riding the four wheeler and he insists that we wear helmet and goggles.

Here we all are getting ready to leave for a long ride. I think there were about 25 heading out for this adventure.

Easter Weekend

For Easter weekend we headed down to Zion's National Park. It was a quick trip but really fun. Camping isn't really my thing, but the kids absolutely love it. We borrowed grandpa Steve's trailer and stayed at a RV park. That is my kind of camping-showers for 1 dollar!

Tre was on the watch for bobcats-his new favorite animal. He was positive that this is where they sleep at night. See the excitement on his face? Eliza always seems to fall asleep when we go hiking...bored?

Easter morning was of course filled with candy and fun. There is nothing like candy at 8:30 in the morning and continuing the rest of the day.

9 years! WOW

Engagements

Today I was thinking about all the great things that 9 years have brought us:

Lived in 5 different appts/houses.

Bought 5 different cars.

Painted almost every room in our house.

Been on so many fun and memorable family vacation, I can't count.

Visited 8 different states. (Pennsylvania was our favorite.)

But the very best thing that it brought us was Tre and Eliza.

It funny how 9 years goes by so fast. I am still totally and completely in love with Jared. He is the only person who I can be with all the time and I don't get sick of. I actually get sad when he has to leave. I love it when he comes home early, even 15 minutes. I call him atleast 3 times a day, usually with not much to say. I keep him up all night just to talk because I really enjoy his company. He is lucky if he gets 4-5 hours of sleep sometimes. I love how much he loves our kids and how excited they get when he walks in the door. I love how much he loves me!

Happy Anniversary Jared!
