She's a shoppn' girl!

Eva's first time in the shopping cart!

I don't know what it is about having a girl. It just makes you wanna shop!! I usually don't like shopping but having a companion makes it a whole lot easier. I don't mind dragging her along, she likes it. She likes it when I try hats on her and she loves to chew the shoes. I guess it's JUST FUN BEING A GIRL!

Finally a vacation!

On the way to Park City we had to stop at Bridal Veil Falls. I couldn't believe Brent had never seen it up close before. The kids were tired out from our hectic lifestyle lately and were ready for a break.

We rode the trolley down old Main St and got some yummy ice cream and pizza.

Relaxing at the pool and resort.

So sorry for not posting this sooner. We have been trying to clean, paint and move to our old house. We finally did make it away for vacation though. We went up to our favorite place in Park City, The Westgate. At the resort they have so many things to do, we had so much fun.

First Day of School

Jake's favorite new shirt- star wars Lego's

Jake's cool new school shoes- "my cool sketchers"

So excited for school

Jake loved his classroom, it's a space theme room, which he is really into right now.

Sorry I'm a little late on blogging. Jake started school last week, which he was so excited about. He has a great teacher, Mrs Sanders at Little Scholars. He will be learning to read this year and is excited to be able to read to sister. He has been coming home with some amazing art projects that I still keep asking him if anyone helped him. He is such a smart boy, we might have to hire a smart person to help him with homework!

Six months old!

We took these pictures a couple of weeks ago when Eva was around six months old. She is getting so big so fast. She is such a wonderful baby. She is mostly happy, giggles allot and is very huggy. She loves her Daddy and her brother so much. She even loves to be mauled by them, she just giggles and mauls them back. We love this girl and can't imagine anything without her! She adds so much to our family and has such a amazing little spirit. We are so lucky to have her, We love you Eva Bug!!!

Seven Cavities!

His cheek was really this swollen, he doesn't even have food or anything in it. He looked like a one chubby sided chipmunk, so cute!

How on earth does a four year old that doesn't like sweets, get seven cavities!? Jake did so awesome at the dentist though. He didn't even flinch, I guess Lego bribery really works. Poor kid!

Thanks Mom and Dad!

It stormed in the afternoon, so half of the people at lagoon left. So we had line free water rides and we got soaked! We even talked Dad into going on the log ride with us. I don't think we have ever made a splash that big (we had four adults and poor Jake).

Jake and the girls, waiting so patiently in line for the rides.

I went with the my older nieces and they took me on the scary rides and ones that make ya sick!

Eva was such a good baby the whole day! Jonny and Eva

My Mom and Dad are so awesome! They took us all to Lagoon. (Of course there was the party poopers who just had to work.) We all had such a great time. It made me feel like a kid again except tens times better because I was also enjoying my own kids. We lost track of time and didn't get home until midnight. All the babies stayed happy all day and we were able to enjoy almost ever single ride!

SALMON

This last weekend we went up to Brent's home town of Salmon, Idaho. We love it up there and the family there too. We had so much fun taking the kids four- wheeling (Eva's first time). Brent of course had to try out some of his dad's toys while the us girls went shopping. Jake got a little spoiled by his Grandma, Grandpa fed Eva every chance he got (she is defiantly not starving) and we got to visit Brent's old friend, Stevie D. We had so much fun, and that's what I call a vacation!

Saturday was the Stoddard Family Reunion (AKA- the Chief's birthday). This is a four generation shot and some pictures of B and his cousin JP with their girls.

Oh ya, and I can't forget that we went boating up to Williams Lake. I love this lake, it reminds me of the lake in Parent Trap. It is surrounded with cute cabins that all have docks down to the lake. I tried boarding, and never thought these mommy legs would get me up, but to my surprise I was up the first try. I forgot how much I love to wake boarding. Jake even got in the water, well after I pulled him in. Aunt Tell (Brent's sister Kelly) came with us and was amazing on the board. She helped us out so much on this trip. Thank goodness for awesome sister-in-laws! We love you Kell!

I love going to Salmon, and fall more in love with it each time I go. Who knows, maybe I can talk the husband into letting me live there.
