Kyle & Kayla's trip to California!

For the past 2 years Kyle & Kayla have had the opportunity to go to California in the summer for 3 or 4 weeks! They have a blast every time they go! They visit G'ma & G'pa, Aunts & Uncles, & cousins. They go to Discovery Kingdom (amusement park), to the mall, and Kyle this year had the opportunity to go help in the Cockpit at my Uncle's race track! Kameron looks forward to the year he can go too!

Hogle Zoo!

While Kyle and Kayla were in California Greg and I took Kameron & Karianne to the zoo! Karianne was terrified at first. It took her a little while to warm up to the animals! We saw the animals, played at the kid's playground, had slushies and ice cream, and rode the train.

Girls trip to Vegas!

My Aunt turned 60 this year and her family and my mom put together a surprise party for her in Las Vegas. So we decided me and the girls would join my mom and sister to surprise her for it! It was a fun bonding trip for me and the girls!

After getting up really early to head down to Vegas, we were so exhausted! We went to lunch after we got there and surprised her! Karianne rubbed Kayla's back while we were at the restaurant!

After lunch on our way to the hotel, Karianne decided to take a nap!

That night there was a retirement party for her also at a Mexican restaurant that her work put on. The girls decided to stay and play with some cousins while my mom, sister, and I went! The next night was her surprise birthday party that I don't have any pictures from.

These are some of my cousins (her son and family)!

The girls swam everyday whenever there was free time! They got a little silly with cheese-whiz!

Fall cookies!

After Easter I didn't make very many sugar cookies. I got burned out! But by Fall I was ready to make them again. I decided to try some chocolate frosting on some of them and those actually ended up being our favorite! It was one of the treats I made to take to Vegas with us in September! They were yummy!

Kameron's 9th Birthday!

Kameron decided he wanted to do a Halloween party this year. They didn't dress up but did some fun Halloween games! They also played a game where they had to find mushy eyeballs in a bowl of spaghetti blindfolded that I didn't have any pictures of!

There were 2 teams and each team had to push a pumpkin around a course in the yard with a broom!

This was the winning team!

They also played a game where they picked up cut-out Halloween figures with a straw! Whichever team got the most, won!

This was the winning team!

These are some of his good friends from Eagle Mountain!

This is a good friend he grew up with in Eagle Mountain and lived next door to for a long time!

Kayla's 12th Birthday!

Sometimes with Kayla's birthday being close to Halloween, she chooses to have a Halloween Party! This year she wanted to be a cowgirl! She invited some girls from her new school and they did some fun games.

One of the games they had to search through this bowl of spaghetti for mushy eyeballs blindfolded!

They also played a game where they had a race to pick up these cut-out Halloween figures with a straw. Wow they are talented! This was Kayla's team!

They also played a charades game! This is her group of friends that attended!

Update...please bear with me!

So I have a lot to catch up on! I was trying to decide if it would be best to start fresh this year but decided I can't let last year go by without highlighting everything that happened. We had a lot of fun things happen that I need to journal for myself. I'm doing it kind of backwards. I don't know what I was thinking but I already have a lot done. Still a lot left to do too. I hope you have fun and it's not too torturous for you to go through! I plan on trying (that's the key word) to keep up with it this year! Happy looking...if you can make it!
