Been Gone

We got back from a long vacation 4 days ago and I still haven't recovered! Where did we go??Here are some pics...take a guess!


"accidentally slipped and fell in...ha ha ha"
However, I absolutely fell in love with this lake and the restaurant that sits just above it. If you are ever in Island Park and need a good recommendation, give me a call.


We told the kids we'd give them 5 cents for every buffalo that they saw. Who knew it was the buffalo rut (is there such a thing?) we ended up shelling out $10.00 to each kid!


Thanks to grandma and grandpa for the incredible trip. It was so peaceful and fun..we can't wait to come back.


Finally, a family picture!



This is a game that I used to play as a kid. Gather the golf balls and throw the down grandma's stairs!

Boating with the cousins :)

The molecule.

Yes, it was a typical, yet wonderful family vacation. 5 days in Yellowstone and then 5 days in Salt Lake. We are so lucky to have access to such beautiful places! We miss our family but are already planning next year's trip!

Hi Bianca!
We went on a vacation to Yellowstone last year and had a great time. I love being able to see old friends blogs to see were they are in life. Glad to see you guys doing so well. Pam

Yellowstone was our vacation last year and we loved it. The kids thought we were going back again this year. I'm glad we didn't offer any money for aminals ~ we'd have gone broke!! We stayed at Mak's Inn (sp?!) and everything was closed every time we went back. :)

Great pics of Yellowstone, didn't catch them when you came. My favorite is the one of the 3 boys in the kayak!

Let's just call this paybacks

Dave got the heads up this morning that we were going to have a couple of "special" talks on reverence today as the Stake Presidency was a little concerned about how loud our sacrament meetings have become. I thought ~ great, let's prep the kids ~ I told them that they were to be on their best behavior, no snacks, no toys, no talking, you get the idea... The meeting went pretty smooth until the Bishop got up. He very tenderly started talking about how important it is that we teach our children about the sacrament...it was at that moment that my family fell a part. Eden and Luke started fighting and Liza and Tucker started screaming---did I mention we were on the second row? I grabbed Luke and put him in a body hold and motioned for Dave to get Tuck and Liza out. Dave left with Liza and Tuck (so I thought...) and next thing you know, Tucker is up on the stand running back and forth behind the Bishop. My sweet friend sitting next to me jumped up to get Tuck, but he of cours...

Another day, another blog!

Anyone who knows me well knows (don't you love how I start all my posts this way?!) anyway, you know that I love good referrals, hot tips, good finds, etc...I decided to compile a list of all my favorite referrals/finds and make a blog. Check it out: www.soundsecrets.blogspot.com (link it link it!) If you have any good referrals, hot tips, etc. please email them to me. I am in desperate need of a good general physician and Mexican restaurant---do you have one? In other news... My dear friend Becky and I ran the "Susan G. Komen, Race for the cure" yesterday. We originally did it as part of our training for a relay that we are running in July, but it turned into an incredible, emotional experience. Most of the women in the race either had cancer or were either running for someone they knew that had cancer. It was difficult (to say the least) to keep a dry eye throughout. It was definitely worth every penny of that $30.

Lesson Learned

Have you ever been in a grocery or Target type store with all your kiddos and had a lovely employee tell your children to "please sit down in the cart!"? Well I have...several times. Each time I politely smile and say sorry, but all the while my brain is filled with smart aleck comments like "hey, last time I checked, I was their mother," or, "lady it's either standing up in the cart or pulling product off your shelves-you choose!" I have been sufficiently humbled. This morning, like all mornings, I put Eliza in her high chair to get her out of my hair for a moment so that I could make breakfast. She immediately climbed out and was about to stand on the table when she lost her balance and fell to the floor. I raced over to pick her up and noticed that while she was trying to scream nothing was coming out of her mouth. I picked her up and she started seizing, her eyes rolled back into her head and then she went limp. No words can describe the thoughts...
