Fourth of July weekend

Saturday the 3rd we went up north for the day to Isaac's family camp out. We just made it a day trip but my kids did not want to leave they had so much fun. To be honest so did I.


Kael thought riding the horse was so cool

Mylee is usually terrified by everything so I was so surprised when she didn't want to get off the horse. She loved it.

That's my Emma the little mommy

Aiden getting ready to ride the quad with Uncle Issac

This is what I mean when I say she is afraid of everything!! It just makes us laugh we love to scare her. I know its kind of evil...

Thanks Pembers for letting us have so much fun with you!!!

Then the next night we went to watch the fireworks. I love the 4th of July. I love the cute clothes I love the fireworks, I just love everything about it!

The cousins playing games before the fireworks

I love this pic of the kids lying down they just had so much fun I love him!! I don't think he knows though (:

Getting the cousins to look and smile all at once is hopeless!

I just love her!! She is such a good helper and does the sweetest things it just amazes me. She is not perfect at all but she really is a sweetheart!!

Here is where it gets funny. Once the fireworks started Mylee freaked out! Crying hysterically. Would not stop. She kept saying "I want go home want go home." Or "turn it off". Finally she just hid under this blanket crying the whole entire time the fireworks went off. it was funny at first but after awhile I am sure the people around us wanted her to shut up! I did too (:

My funny little girl!

Dang I am 30 now!!

My dear friend Monica had got a Twilight ticket for me because it came out the night of my birthday. She brought her nephew Jacob. We had a lot of fun waiting in line to see the movie. We made friends with all the Harkin employee's. They were really nice despite people being mean to them all night.


my sis in law Laura also came out to wait in line for the newest Twilight movie

I threw a fit and made josh come see the movie he didn't want to stay up till midnight watch the movie and get up for work the next day. But I totally pulled the birthday card and there he was watching the movie with me (: Love him!! He surprised me and stayed home from work with me on my birthday. It was so fun to get all the facebook happy birthdays texts all day from people. it was also fun going and getting all the free birthday treats. I went and got my dozen free krispie kreme donuts. We went to Joe's Farm Grille for my free birthday lunch. Then we went into my work and the girls I work with had ordered yummy Mexican food. it was a really nice day. I felt so very loved that day. I guess that's why birthdays are so fun. (:

K Josh kind of looks a little pale in this pick!! (;

I have got to say that I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Do you know what I mean? It took me 30 years to realize that I like myself, that I can have my own opinion and its ok. That I am not as skinny as I was in High school but I feel so much better about myself. I just cant explain it,but just that I am finally in a "happy place". I look forward to getting older and wiser. I am at peace with myself. I know it is because everyday my testimony grows and it makes my life so much better. I can feel my Savior's love for me on a daily basis. I am worthy of his love. I am grateful for the knowledge I have of an eternal family. I have a testimony of prayer he never answers it the way I want him to but he answers it and its the right way.

Man its been awhile

It is so hard to get caught up once you take a break from blogging. I am going to try and get caught up just a little bit. We had such a fun summer it seemed liked we were always going some where doing something that summer just flew by. So here is a taste of some of the fun we have had this summer.
