UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!

So please be patient & don't pay any attention to the current layout of this blog...I'm not sure what blogger has done, but I don't like it! It takes WAY too long to make any changes now! CHANGES & NEW POSTS SOON TO COME! :)

Outdoor Adventure

Since Jake & I both have Monday off & it's finally started to warm up, we've decided that Monday is our fun day. We're going to try out a new hike every week - we'll see how it goes! We started last week & just did the hike up Logan Canyon from the Stokes Nature Trail up to Second Dam. It was a good warm up for us all - we're just a little out of shape...

This week, we thought we'd finish what we started & hike from Second Dam up to Third. About halfway up the hike, we were kinda thinking that we got a little more than we bargained for, but we continued to the Spring Hollow Junction. As we were walking along, we saw a trail sign with directions to Spring Hollow, River Trail, & one other one...we walked down to the River Trail & believe it or not, we took the wrong way up! No wonder we thought we got more than we bargained for! Of course, we took the actual River Trail on the way back down...

It was beautiful up there! Lauren was a trooper & we had so much fun, even though we got more of a hike than we bargained for...
We might just get in shape by the end of summer! Wish us luck...(we'll need it!)

This & That...

So, just a bunch of random pictures from our week...

*It doesn't matter how many pictures we take of Ben -

he's always got a different expression...he's full of it!

*Lauren wanted to go to the park on her birthday - the weather was beautiful - probably the best day of the year so far, so we walked to the park, played, took LOTS of pictures, & just had FUN! (That wasn't the only thing we did for her birthday...we scored some tickets to the Real Salt Lake opening game (soccer) - we had a blast! (We just forgot the camera, as usual!)

*Ben & Lauren all dressed up from church.

*He's finally sitting up...he has been for a while now, we're just slow getting pictures!

*& last but not least, some silly pictures...we were having fun at the park (I'm a little old for swings, but Ben had to get on there somehow!)
& some pics of my silly kids (yes, 3 of them!) playing in a box...

4!

Our sweet little angel turned 4 today...where does the time go? I remember bringing her home from the hospital like it was yesterday.
We LOVE you Lauren!

Happy Birthday! :)

It's Gone!

So...Lauren has always loved her long hair. Anytime she was uncooperative while we were trying to brush it, etc., all we had to do was tell her we were going to go get it cut the next day & she'd shape up. Thanks to her cousins getting short haircuts, this back-fired on me one day...she actually WANTED her hair cut... so here she is with short hair & we LOVE it! No more snarls! (The only downfall is that she looks more grown up now... )

Bring It On

Ben really loves FOOD! He's so happy to finally be able to eat; he's always grabbing for whatever we're eating & he's loved EVERYTHING that we've given him...gotta love it! Such a change from Lauren - she's very picky. She has never eaten as good as Ben does. One of us will have to get a 2nd job just to keep food in this kids belly! :) We love it!






Lauren decided she was going to help me feed Ben - the results...

The Next American Idol...(or something like that!)

Turn up the volume! Lauren REALLY likes to sing and dance...the video says it all in itself, but this little princess has really started getting into her music. Keep in mind, this video was recorded at 11:00 at night! Not sure if the asthma medicine is worth it or not...I'm sure our neighbors loved us that night! :)

We love you Lauren! Keep up the beautiful singing & the amazing dancing.
