Utah 2012

Bridger, Lilly and I went to Utah.

I miss seeing sunset's!  Too many hills and trees in Oregon.

Gardner Village.  My kids learned a little about their great-great-great grandpa Archibald Gardner.


Lilly was in heaven when we found this little doll shop.
It was so fun to watch my kids play at my grandparents house.  It brought back so many memories of when I was a child playing there.

Look at that garden....even at 89 years old!

I helped Austin learn how to make fondant cakes.

North Ogden Auquatic Center
We love the lazy days of Summer!

Water Fun

We had a rare treat of having four cousins come to visit!  Bridger was so happy to have Austin in the mix so he wasn't alone with only girls!

First stop while in Portland was VooDoo Donuts.  Portland didn't disappoint- we got to witness a "classy" wedding taking place right there in VooDoo.  I even took them across town to the tamer VooDoo Donut shop.

We spent a day at Sauvie's Island.  I can't remember what else we did but it was fun.






Bridger and Lilly had their first boating trip.  They loved it.  Derek and I spent so much of our single life on the water and it was great to be out there again!  Boating is one of my favorite things to do.


Beautiful view of Mt. St. Helen's






What we've Been up to part 1


Brief overview of the last several months.

Grandma visited and was here for Bridger's 1st Grade "graduation" picnic.

Lilly successfully ran a baby doll daycare.
We spent many hours at soccer practice and games.


Lilly got to go to a princess party and meet Princess Tiana and Snow White!


Lilly graduated from her first year of preschool.  (only two more to go)

We spent more hours than I can possibly count at the park and with friends.
