Utah Trip Thursday

I think Thursday was one of Dylanns favorite days. My in-laws threw Dylann a big Tangled party

She was so excited all day long for all that was going on

For all the decorations, Dylann couldn't wait.

My in-laws went above and beyond for this party it was so amazing.

My kids are going to want a party like this every year and I don't think I can do it.

Here is Bruce playing around before the party

 Here is the most amazing thing ever. My father-in-law, Ed, made this tower for the party. It was over 8 ft tall. It was so amazing the kids had so much fun playing with it. We wish we could have brought it home with us.

 Dylann playing in the tower!! She kept yelling "Rapunzel let down you hair"

 Here is some of the party. My mother-in-law made these banners that went all around the whole yard.

You can see that it was so windy, so its not the best picture, but it was really amazing.

She also cut out all the suns and hung them all around the yard with lanterns too. But we didn't get a pic of them b/c it was so windy the party had to be moved inside, bummer.

 Just hanging out. Bruce couldn't wait to eat, he kept taking all the food, so we had to feed him right away.

  Before the party the kids were dancing to the Tangled music

 Bruce covered in berries. He is so cute!!

 They also made a 'pin the frying pan on Fin' game, the kids were so funny about it. They all had to do it more then once

 Here Dylann is going for her 2 time

 Way to go Dylann!!

 Dylann showing off some of her goodies, Thanks Aunt Pattie

 And the big one, She got a new BIKE, She was so excited about it. She wanted to ride it right away. She has loved her bike so much so far. She always want to go out and ride it.

 Her birthday cake which was so cute but, she couldn't eat. So my in-laws got a specail white cake just for her with no dye.

 All the kids in the tower. They all loved it, what a great idea.

 Even Bruce got in on it.

 At the very end we all had balloons, and we let them go like the lanterns in the movie.

 And they are off

 It looked really cool

After everything it was time for bath. So we got Bruce all done and went to change him. Well he got away from me and grabbed the braid and was strutting around with it. It was so funny I couldn't not post it.

 The party was so amazing, I just wish the weather would have been better. Dylann is still talking about it and wants to go play on the tower all the time. Thank you guys for all the wonderful memories.

 One more day I promise then I will be done!!

Utah trip, Tue-Wed

Tuesday was the main reason we went out to Utah,

Danny was going to baptize his nephew Travon!!!

We were all so excited and couldn't wait for this super special day

Here are all the kids waiting to go in. They were being so funny

 One with Bruce

 Being silly

 My father-in-law, Travon and Danny right before they got dressed. My father-in-law did the blessing and Danny did the baptism. Travon was so excited, it was so cute, I don't think I have ever seen him more happy. We were all just as happy as he was.

 Danny and Travon, these boys are just so cute

 (Travon, Danny and Tiffany) Tiffany is Danny's sister and Travon's mom.

 After the baptism we all went back to the house to have a bbq, here is Bruce getting some love from his daddy b/c he wants all his food.

 Bruce was being so silly, he was trying to get on the bike but some how he got all caught up in it. I couldn't stop laughing, he thought it was pretty fun too.

 One of my best friends from college was able to come, we haven't seen each other in a long time. We were super crazy in college and I think we still are a little crazy.  

 Me and Lindsey, I miss her already!

 My best friend from high school lives in Utah to (we grew up in Ohio together and then she moved out later). She just bought a house and I was in envy. I love how Dylann is posing in the middle

 Andrea and I, all growing up people would think that we were sisters. I don't see it, but one guy kept calling us twins. I don't think he was all with it.

 So Wednesday while I was busy with Andrea, my father-in-law surprised Danny and Travon. He took them to go shoot machine guns. Danny was like a little kid in a candy store.

 Danny wants everyone to know that he only had one shot outside of the target with a machine gun. He is still dreaming about it and he now wishes he can get one.

Couple of more days, I am working on them.

Utah Trip Sat-Mon

Danny and I went to Utah for a long over due trip

Danny's family lives out there and its been over 2 years since we have been out there.

We decided to drive, It was hard.

The kids all packed up and getting ready to leave

It took us 30 straight hours to get there.

 We gave Bruce a piece of chocolate and he had it all over him in a matter of sec,

but at least he was happy!

 When we got there Dylann wasted no time making friends. Dylann was in heaven. She had 3 girls right around her age to play with all day for over a week. I don't think she could have asked for anything better.

 That night was the Orem days, they have fireworks. I like to think that Utah was just celebrating that we have arrived. Hey a girl can pretend right?

 We went to Thanksgiving Point on Monday to there Dinosaur museum, Dylann is really into all things dinosaur. We have never been there so we had to check it out.

 Danny and Bruce showing how big the long neck is

 Dylann and Bruce a little scared of sitting on the foot of a HUGE dinosaur

 A little family pic with some meat eaters in the back

 They had this really great water area for the kids. They can play in the water and sand making things for the play dinosaurs. Dylann did not want to leave

 Dylann and her cousins playing together

 Dylann did not want to be up close and personal with the t-rex, but we just couldn't resist

 She's got the whole world in her hands.

 At the very end they have this thing were the kinds can dig for dinosaurs. Dylann loved playing in the sand, She didn't want to leave, she was so mad at us when we finally pulled her out.

 Bruce on the other hand was really unsure about the sand, he just stood there the whole time.

 Outside, they are playing dinosaurs,

L-R Travon, Carliee, Dylann, Aryana, Keely and Mykaela

More to come!!!

Big things coming

We are going to Utah on Friday,

We are really excited its been over 2 years since we have been, and a lot of friends and family haven't even met our little man, Bruce, yet!

We are driving out to Utah and I just can't wait to hang out with Danny the whole time.

He works full time and goes to school part time.

I also work part time, so we really never get to see each other.

So a full week together is what the Dr ordered.

Also I wanted to try something new on this blog.

When I get back I am going to start a 30 days of hair.

Since I do hair, and most days my hair is up in a pony tail.

I wanted to challenge myself to do something different to my own hair every day

I am really excited but really nervous.

I am also going to tell you what products I use, and maybe do some tutorials,

So you can do them too.

here is a girl I work with, something I just did to play around with.

Fish tails are really big right now.

My sister Mallory is also going to start this same thing on her blog.

So you will have to check it out too.

I don't know when she is starting, but mine will be in about a week.

See ya soon.
