Stupid Utah Weather

It sucks because June is almost over and we haven't done anything fun outside because it just keeps raining. I should be taking my kids swimming, or going to the park, or just going outside and playing in the backyard. I'm so sick of the rain! ENOUGH ALREADY!! Bring on the sunshine. I'm officially ready for summer to begin.
I should be sun kissed with a bronze tan by now. I'm ready for my bikini... ;)

Weekend at Jackson Hole

We had a GREAT weekend. We went up to Star Valley with Kyle and Ashley Redd. We stayed up in their cabin which was freaking AWESOME!! It was like a 5 star resort. It had like 7 bedrooms all with 1-2 Queen size beds, and bathroom. We definitely were NOT roughing it. They had 2 rangers and we took them up to a little reservoir and let the kids throw rocks. We roasted marshmellows, watched movies, and ate ALOT of great food. (I will be hitting the gym good and hard this week). Saturday we went to Jackson and shopped, and then went to eat up in the Teton Village. It was yummy! There was an awesome thunderstorm up there too. It was so cool to watch it from the mountains. Thank you Kyle and Ashley for letting us stay up there. We had sooooo much fun with you guys. Kyle's friends Jedd and Kylie came up Saturday and went to Jackson Hole with us. They were great and fun to get to know, although I think we swore off kids for them the way Trey was the last 24 hours, sorry guys, I think he was just done. Here are some of the pics from the trip. Keep in mind I forgot my camera (I know, what the crap!) so I had to get a disposable and they didn't turn out that great.

This is the cabin. It's gorgeous! There was a little pond in the back that Trey loved going to.


The view when you walk in.


Isn't this kitchen awesome?! It was so spacious.


This is the reservoir we went to. It was really pretty. The kids had fun throwing rocks in the water, and Kyle's dog was keeping us entertained fetching a ball and swimming back and forth.


Kyle and Addy on one of the Rangers.


Peyton and "kid" the dog. Peyton was so cute he just kept walking in the water without thinking twice about it. Such a boy!


Us in Jackson Hole.


The kids playing with Avery.


This is Trey after dinner up in Teton Village...poor thing was pooped!


Addy and Trey...she is so stinking cute!


Addy took this pic. I'm quite surprised at how well it turned out. Trey was jumping off the bed onto a mattress on the floor and I think she took a much better picture then I would have.


Thanks Again You Guys!

3 years old already?

We celebrated Trey's birthday on Sunday. His actual birthday was on Monday the 1st, but it's so easier to get everyone together on a Sunday. We went to Harrisville Park and had a barbecue. The kids played on the play ground and ran around. Everyone had a good time. Thanks to everyone who helped out and made Trey feel special. I took a TON of pics so I just put them in a slide show. We also went to the Dino park this last week with Grandma Alene, my sis in-laws, and their kids.

We spent the day together as a family on his birthday. We took him to Weber State and let him feed the ducks. Then we went to the toy store and let him pick out another Transformer toy. He loves them all and couldn't decide. He settled for Bumble Bee. We then took him to eat at the Oak's. He loves to eat outside so we thought he'd like to look at the river while he ate. Him and Jeremy made their way down the hill so that Trey could throw rocks in the water.



And of coarse Trey found some caterpillars and they just HAD to watch him eat his dinner.


Grandma and Pa Chambers gave him this Transformer toy. He came up with the idea that Optimus Prime and the Hulk should fight...and of coarse Optimus always won because as Trey says "Mom, he has guns on him arms!"


...and Avery is really enjoying the outdoors and the warm weather. She could spend hours and hours out on the grass watching Trey and Halo run all over the place. She just loves, loves, loves that dog! She's not afraid of her at all. It breaks my heart that we will have to find her a home before we leave:(

Anniversary/Memorial Weekend

We had a great weekend! It's always nice to relax and be with our kids. We celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Friday the 22nd. We took Trey to a park and let him run around. We had a little picnic, and let him play by the little river. He loved it! Warning:Picture Overload!

I love this one of Trey and Jeremy.


Me and Avery posing for Jeremy.


Playing on the jungle gym


Going down the slide


I think she is getting sick of me putting the camera in her face.


We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Chambers after and Uncle Shayne had his motorcycle out so of coarse Jeremy had to ride it...


but not without a helmet!


And on Saturday night we decided to celebrate our anniversary by going to the Melting Pot. It was delicious!! I was in heaven the whole time with the cheese and then the chocolate. It was so fun. We have never been so it made it even better. It was expensive but worth it. I remember a certain someone ( I wont mention names...Amanda..) telling me that when they got married they put a quarter in a jar every time they "got busy in bed" and for their one year anniversary they had enough money in the jar to pay for their dinner at the Melting Pot..sad to say that we only had 5 dollars...JK, but it was fun and then Jeremy surprised me with a beautiful bracelet that he picked out all by himself. Of coarse I don't have a pic of it but it has all the first letters of our names and my kids and then cute little circles of everyone's birthstones as well. He was so thoughtful to think of me and I love him for that. I can't wait to be with him for another 5 years!

Good Times

We took Trey to the park after church on Sunday and let him run like a wild man. Him and Halo had fun chasing each other up and down the hills, swinging, and throwing sand. Avery was so tired she could've cared less about the whole thing...plus it was bloody hot that day and it made her more tired.

He threw a rock up in the air and it landed on him...it was so funny I wish I would've got it on video.


Halo pooped out under the table. It was so hot!!


Swinging, Swinging, Swinging!


Tired Avery almost asleep. If you look really close you can see the pizza sauce Jeremy dropped on her head. And of coarse the good mother I am didn't wipe it off very good.


Look out! Halo was chasing Trey and Jeremy down the hill. She is so freaking fast! She had the best time too.


Avery started crawling. She is loving being so independent. But now we have to put the gate back up.


Ahhh...sibling love. JK, she loves to lick faces so he was trying to get her to lick his face...no wonder she's always sick:)


Hair bow galore!


Mom and Avery. Her hair bow matches my shirt...I know, we are awesome.

Too Funny!

As you all may know, I really, really don't like those stickers that people put on their cars (no offense to those who have them)...you know, the ones with the stick figures and the family names and sometimes their pets. I'm not sure why it bugs me so much. Maybe because it is such a Utah thing. They are everywhere. Well I finally found one that I would put on my car. Halarious!!

~RaNdOm aCts~

My life hasn't been that exciting the past week. I did however, manage to get a few pics of the kids. Again, not that exciting, but at least I'm being a good mom and capturing all their moments...I know, lame!

Here is Trey and Payzlee being romantic. I tell you, Payzlee is such a character. I love her!! She is my buddy. She has her own little personality that is just FAR from everyone else's and I love it!


Dad and Trey building a village of trains. This is one of Trey's favorite things to do with dad. They see how big they can get the train tracks.


Little Miss Avery. She is sitting up by herself now. Actually, she is kind of crawling too. She can scoot backwards and go from belly to sitting up. She hasn't figured out quite how to move forward all the way. I think it's her massive thighs that are weighing her down:)


And of coarse she has found her voice. She is always jabbering about something.


Dad and Trey watching a movie. Trey found a comfortable spot on Dad's legs.


More worms! Only this time these ones were massive. They had to be the biggest worms I've ever seen.

I have to hurry and write about this as well. As I'm sitting here I can hear Trey in the other room saying a prayer outloud. He's is telling heavenly father thanks for the juice in his cup, and the goldfish crackers. He is so funny. When we say our prayers with him at night thats pretty much how it goes. "Thanks for the juice and for all the worms I can find, and thanks for my cars and that I can crash them"...anyways, I'm sure if you have a toddler then their little prayers are just as sweet!!
