Our 7 beautiful children.. So hard to get 7 all to look, smile and keep their eyes open LOL..

From braces, chruch dances and training bras to changing diapers, chasing kids, and book discussions!

This is one of my bestest friends ever! We became soul sisters our 8th grade year in Silverton at Mark Twain Middle school. It seems so long ago, and how sometimes i wish i could return to those care free days where our biggest frears in life was when we had our first kiss would we do it right? LOL.. o those were the days. We have so many home movies of us making up new dance routines for the church dances LOL.. Hey we thought we were cool, thats all that matters! Jessy lives in Alaska with her 4 beautiful childern now.. She came home to Bend to stay with her mom for the summer while her husband is away with the Air Force. So Hannah and i took a mini vaca to Bend to see her and her kids. We had so much fun, It was great to catch up, and go shopping at Ross "DRESS FOR LESS" HAHAHAHA insiders joke! I love you girl and miss you so much. I was so blessed the day God planted you into my life, he knew what he was doing.. I will tell my angles to watch over you and your family!! Beware of the Moose and attacking bears=].. Muah!

The Log ride.. I opted out of this one and held baby Logan and got pictures of all my family coming down.. ehehehe some of them got soaked!

The mouse.. The kids said forget the kiddie rides they loved the roller coasters! They went on this about 5 times.

We found the newer roller coaster THE BAT.. The kids LOVED this and went on it like 3 times and tried to go 4 but the park was closing.. it was one of those roller coaster where your feet hanged and you did all these loops and spins.. I was shocked at how much my kids laughed and loved scary rides... no more kiddie rides for them now.. We had a blast!

Waterslide park in Lagoon, Lagoon-a-beach!

So on our last day in Utah we went to Lagoon. Its like a huge 6 flags and has a huge waterslide park and we did the waterslide park first.. We arrived at Lagoon at 10am and left at 11pm.. It was so much fun!!!
