CAMPING...

Kenny and I decided to put our new

cruiser to work and go camping

up American Fork canyon this weekend.

Its already getting cold so we are trying

to get it all in...

I'm so glad my man is so rugged!

don't think for 2 shakes

we left the motor

bike at home...

Tate and cousin Kenzie were such troopers!

We had to put glow sticks around their necks

and arms in case they wondered off...

Kenny's sister Erin came down from St.

George for the weekend and decided

to join us. Sitting around the campfire,

her stories leave you in stitches.

Roastin weenies!!!!

For some reason they taste so much

better around a campfire and at a

ball park. MMMMMM, yum-o!

Baby Ashton was

seriously the little

kid on a

Christmas story with his puff-a-lump

suit. No we weren't in the Arctic, just AF...

GoOd TiMEs...

Kenny got Tate his first BIG BOY

motorized vehicle...he loves it! He even

figured out how to get it to go right away.

GOOD TIMES

As you can see he is on it right when

he wakes up until he goes to bed

(hence the jammies)

good times

celebrating cousin Ryder's birthday

at Chuck E. Cheese...

Cute Mikey, Amber and baby Ashton





ahhhh...someone save me besides
that creepy bearded man that wont
stop starring! This may be our
last time to Chuck E. Cheese, they all
come out of the wood works here.


Don't be deceived, these wings are
not for flying, they are mearly for looks.
You too can have a pair, just have a baby
and your hair breaks and falls out all by itself.
"Isn't she lovely...isn't she wonderful"
NOT GOOD TIMES






Kenny and his brothers got a little
competitive/carried away /obsessed
with skee ball... GOOD TIMES!

LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN CALI...

to sum it up... when you are married to a

land cruiser enthusiast, you learn early on,

when you find a good deal...you jump on it!

Kenny was on the internet Friday and saw

a land cruiser he couldn't pass up. (The only

problem was it was in LA, which turned

out to be not such a problem)So we booked

our one way flights that night and left the next morning

at 6am! We are lucky Tate is a good sport and

doesn't mind traveling...

This is Tate figuring out the air conditioning
in our hotel room. It was so funny watching
him get wind blown.


We had to wait for banks to open since
it was a holiday weekend so we had 3 days
to spend at the beach. The first day we went to
Santa Monica and the next we went to Huntington.
Finding a parking spot was a small nightmare,
but the beaches were beautiful.








Like always, Tate liked eating more than anything...

It took a little bit for Tatie to want to go in

the waves, but once he worked

up the courage, he loved it. He is like a little fish,

with a tan line that would make the coopertone

baby jealous!

Kenny and Tate had fun building sandcastles

and sand turtles...

We would never make a trip to the west coast

without making at least a few trips to my favorite

places to eat, The Cheesecake Factory and

In-n-out! Animalized cheeseburger with fries and

a diet coke and my two boys...life doesn't get much better.

Tate took one look at that yummy burger

and could hardly contain himself.

I think Tate likes our new car better

than we do.

I had to get a pic with the sweetest man in the

world. His name is David. He is the owners dad

and just kinda walks around and does PR at the

dealership. I almost cried when we said goodbye to him

not only because I hold a special place in my heart for old men,

(not in a creepy way) but he was so presh to Tate and I. He bought

us drinks and gave Tatie balloons and a teddy bear...he really

is why we bought the car. WE LOVE YOU DAVID!
