Family Summer Trip 2009 - Part III - Las Vegas

I LOVE these girls and this chair. We are getting ready to go swimming at Melissa's - and I was trying to figure out how to get this chair home with me. Please let us have it - the girls fit perfectly!

The Fam


While there, Jeremy celebrated his 29th birthday! Old Man. My mom made his favorite:

yellow cake with rainbow chip frosting!

Great-grandpa Kennedy with the girls. Kennedy's face cracks me up.

3-D

The boys with the girls. There is a water park really close to my parents house and we went to to keep cool.

Ethan with Kennedy
Arran with Bailey (my brothers are getting so big!)

What the....????

This picture makes me want to have a crazy glasses party! This is at the Hard Rock Hotel where we had just gotten done eating a FREE fine dinning dinner. How you say? Easy, just watch a HUGE, black, sewer rat crawl down the wall behind your cousins back. Seriously. It was gross.

My fish gals.

A little ranch with your fries never hurt anyone, right?

Am I seeing double? It's Jeremy and Jeremy. Oh no, wait... one has hair!

My madre with both babes.

More swimming... it's the only way to stay to sane in the Vegas heat.

Family Summer Trip 2009 - Part IV - Utah

For the last part of our road trip, we stopped in Utah. When we pulled in and saw all the beautiful mountains, Jeremy and I looked at each other and realized how much we missed it! We went directly to Cafe Rio and then to Amy's house (where we were staying). That night we went out with the Losee's, Fawsons, Yagers, Adam, and Keith (plus 7 kids).Can you tell they are excited to be with us?

We then went to good ole Liberty park where they children feed the ducks and ran a muck!

Bailey jumping in the air.... cutest picture ever!

Out in Herriman, where we were staying, they built this little reservoir that you could go swimming in. The kids loved playing with Jordyn and had a blast.

Last night there, we took Adam and Keith to sushi. Kennedy seriously picked up the chopsticks and used them to eat a couple of bites. Holy Cow! That is amazing considering I just figured them out a few years ago myself!

5 Years

On June 26th, Jeremy and I celebrated our five year anniversary. Crazy, huh? Time flies. We are pretty much the same just a little fatter! We celebrated by staying at the same hotel we stayed at for our Honeymoon. We had the girls with us there in the day - and took them swimming, then we dropped them off, went out to dinner and had a night alone! It was much needed and awesome. Jer also bought me a beautiful ring to symbolize our five years -

I LOVE it!

*This is a picture of the side of our dining table Jeremy made when we were first married.

Grouchy Ladybugs

My Aunt took us to get some pictures done of the girls and their brand new second cousin baby Faye! Let's just say that all of the 6 adults present were worn out by the time we were done!

For these shots the girls had to sit on my lap and legs (hence why Bailey looks shorter) because they were freaked out by the camera lady. These are all unedited pics the lady just gave us from her C.D. - so don't look too closely!

Great Grandma Olvera and her Great Grandbabies!

The Three Amigos

Loves being an Only Child....

Funny Outtakes:

For the life of her, Bailey could not hold still. She was running all over the place, so Jeremy (as seen on far right) was running in circles around the other two girls with Bailey chasing. This is what a snapshot of that turns out like =)

Again Bailey having little to no patience. She is yelling "Dad" over and over and over again. We called it a wrap after that.

She may get her looks from me, but her dance moves are from her DAD!

4th of July Fun!

We started our morning off by going to the ward breakfast and parade.

This is our attempt at a familly picture. They all are looking very similar to this lately.

Jer and Kennedy with her cute cheesy grin!

Me and my hunny buns!


Me and grumpy Bailey. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.


Kennedy and cousin Monroe


That afternoon, we took Kennedy to the lake with us (Bailey NEEDED a nap so she stayed with Nana). We rented a canoe and met up with one of Jer's cousins. We had lunch then went over to the rope swings. Kennedy totally went on the rope swing all by herself over and over (she never let go over the water - just kept coming back). Brad took a video so we will have to post it later! That night we walked to Nana and Papas house and watched the neighborhood fireworks. This is the first year the girls really watched them as their first year they were afraid and last year they were asleep! I was too wimpy to let them try sparklers - maybe next year!

Pampered

For Trish's brithday this year, Aaron threw her a suprise party. He needed someone to keep her occupied during the day - so he gave us some funds to spend the day out. We spent most of our day at the spa: getting back massages, pedicures, and our hair done! Then we went out to lunch and talked girl talk. Finally we retured her home and everyone shouted "SUPRISE!" It was so fun to spend a whole day with my sister-in-laws getting pamerped!
