Vegas Baby...

We decided to go down and stay the weekend in Vegas. I was so ready for a change of scenery being as all I've done since Nater left is hang out at home. My Girl friend and her family have a Time Share down there and invited us to stay with them. It was amazing! I was in Heaven! It had 3 different pools and all kinds of things for the kiddos to do! We even got to have Matty Mo spend one night with us! We had a blast! One of the days while we were in town the kids and I went to a BBQ with some old friends. The kids had so much fun playin Rock Band and hangin out.

Yesi and Gene... Thank you so much for having us! We had so much fun!

Pictures for Daddy...

Our daddy wrote us and asked us to send him some pictures... so we decided to take some for him. As you can see the girls were very cooperative and cute ;)

Kennerbugs and the Regs... you are so dang cute! I can't believe how much you have grown!

"I'm Tellin on You, Mommy!"...

This girl totally kills me. I don't know how many times I have had to ask her to help us clean up and she just sits and watches us. I bopped her on the head and she had a come apart...lol. All of a sudden I hear her talkin to her self and she was saying, "Daddy, my mom bonked me on my bean! That's not berry nice! That's not berry fair!" All I could do is bust up laughing!!! She had her little princess phone up to her ear just a tellin on me... I got the camera and told her to tell on me again, but she thought I was taking a picture so you can't really see what I saw and heard.

Awww... the joys of our Children! You gotta love them.

Kennerbug you are special sista!

Dev... We'll Miss You!

I've debated all weekend about posting such a sensitive subject, but I just need to vent I guess. Today was a hard day because I spent it in Las Vegas at a funeral. Nate's cousin Devon passed away Friday afternoon. It was very unexpected. Dev was only 20 years old. I have had the hardest time understanding this all day. Dev was always the LIFE of the party. He was always joking and teasing. I love this kid to the moon and back and I know he knows that. I am so worried about how to tell Nate because he just sent me a letter wanting to reach out to Dev and I had just sent it to him on Friday morning. I know Dev is in a better place, but like I said it being so unexpected... I just wished I would have spent more time talking to him at Nate's going away party... I wished I would of said so many more things.

Dev,

You were one of the funniest people I knew! I have many happy and hilarious memories of you. Nate and I looked forward to the family Christmas Party's only to hang with you. You made them tolerable (No offence to anyone else). You will always hold a special place in our heart's and in our memories! We love you and we will truly Miss you!

Dev... until we meet again.

We're BaCk!!!

Finally we are back in action around here...

I have had all these posts ready to post, but I wanted to post them with pics. So make sure you check underneath this post... I am sure I will be posting a lot for the next couple of days or weeks as I have plenty of time on my hands...lol!

Happy Birthday to Me...

That's right... the big ol' 30! I sure wish my Natey could have been here, but my friends and family made up for it. My girlfriend Candice came up from Vegas. We went and had a massage...it was so nice to get away from the girls for the first time since Nate left and just relax. We giggled a couple of times like a couple of little teeny boppers, but it was so much fun. We went and had Bajios for lunch. Then my niece watched my girls while Diana, Carrie, Meg and Candice took me to dinner. I chose to go to Red Robin... it was yummy! When I picked up the girls from my Niece's house they wanted dessert so we headed over to Golden Spoon! It was the best Birthday!

Thanks girls for making it Special!

Much Love to All of You!!!

I wished I would of remembered to take some pictures... Next time!

Back to School...

Matt started 7th grade and I think he really likes it... at least he sounds like he does. I sure wished I had a picture of him on his first day of school, but this was taken when he came to visit just a couple of weeks ago...

Reg's started her second year of preschool... she LOVES it.

Can't wait til next year when Kennedy can go to preschool. She is so bummed when Reg's gets out and goes into her class. She wants to go so bad!

Church Without Our Daddy...

Oh how I don't miss this day... they looked so cute and I thought to myself I can handle this, but oh who in the heck was I kiddin. I thought this is going to be a good day... we were ready on time for the first time EVER and they were being so nice. If I wouldn't have had to teach I so would have left. They were so Naughty! I thought I could handle it, but apparently not. Since this day we had to revamp our Sunday plans and some days are better than others... ;) A lot of the times we have had to sit in the foyer, but at least we have made it right?!?

Just Us Girls...

This was our first lunch without our daddy! We were really missin him at this point, but I guess this is the first of many! We better get use to it ;)
Any time I ask the girls where they want to go and eat they always pick Subway. We had a good time together and I realized it isn't going to be so bad to be with just the kiddos while Nate is away. People keep asking me if they can take the girls so I can have some time to myself, but I have realized I need them around me all the time because they are a peice of him and when they aren't around me I have a harder time with him being away.

Dora, Dora, Dora the Explora...

We were at K-mart for what ever reason... I can't remember why anymore, but when we walked in the door the girls spotted this huge Dora and wanted to buy her. Obviously that wasn't going to happen so we just took some pictures. They love themselves some Dora!

Daddy Missed His Plane...

Today has flew by so fast I am still in a spin! Nate left for SLC and then off to Fort Benning GA tomorrow.

Our day started off with taking our kiddos to Auntie Carrie and Uncle Shane's so Nate and I could listen to one of the Quorum of the 12 speak to us. There were a couple of different speakers and they all touched on things we needed to hear and know... it was nice to actually listen and understand the speakers at Church... lol! Afterwards Nate's family had his favorite dinner for him. We all got carried away talking and the next thing we knew we were all flying to get to the airport. We didn't make it in time and Nate missed his flight. What a great first impression right!?! Nate called his recruiter and told him that his Dad would just drive him up to SLC... so needless to say it all worked out! As for the girls and I... it has been such a long day the girls went right to bed and I am so tired... I am going to bed right now!

So... Good Bye for now!

Private Traveller's Going Away...

We had a great time and it was so nice to have all of the Traveller's here at one time!

Our Disneyland Surprise...

As you all know Nate is leaving August 16th for Basic Training. Dennis and Diana (Nate's Parents) decided to give us a going away/graduation gift and send us to Disneyland for 4 days and 3 nights. That's right... DISNEYLAND!!! When we found out we were floating on a cloud for days. We decided that we would just take the girls because Matty had been sooo many times and it wouldn't be very much fun for him to be squished in the car between two car seats and having to hang with the little girls doing all the little kid stuff. Josh and Meg (Nate's Little sister and husband) got us the nicest room at one of the Marriott's. We decided the trip was for the girls so we would let them set the tone and we would have no expectations. We wanted it to be as stress free as possible. We did Disney and California for 2 of the days and went to Newport and Hunnington Beach the other 2 days. The girls had a blast. While we were at Disney and California... we had lunch with the Princesses. The food was pretty dang good and I would have to say worth every penny because we got so much accomplished...lol!

This is us at the Beach on the last day in Cali...

This is us riding the Dumbo ride!

Dennis, Diana, Meg and Josh... you all totally RoCk!!!

Thank you!

The Big 2...

We had a fun day with the family!

Happy Birthday Little Miss Kennerbug. We Love Ya!
