Ms. Hops

When we dropped off pippin at my friends house, Kaylee was excited to see Ms. Hops! Shauna was so Nice to take her in when we moved to St. George. Thanks Shauna for giving our animals new homes!!

Good-Bye Pippin

This past weekend we said goodbye to our little pippin. I found him a good home with my friend Shauna up north. He has 2 other friends to play with at her house. It was sad. I had a hard time thinking about what I was doing as I drove to SLC. But when we got to her house and he seen Holly & Lizzy he was totally fine. I felt good about leaving him, Shauna will give him a good home. She took Kaylee's rabbit Ms. Hops when we moved to St. George. Thanks Shauna!!

1st Day of School

WOW! Where did summer go? I can't believe school has started already. Bryn & Madie were very ready for something to do, so it was just in time.

Brynlee couldn't wait to go to school for the whole day. She insisted on making her lunch, and picked out all her outfits 4 the entire week. I thought I had waited for this day to come for years-when they would all be in school, all day. It was kinda sad. My baby is getting so BIG. I don't know where the last 2 years went. She always told me she would stay 4 years old forever, just for me. :( Madie couldn't wait to see who was in her class this year. She loves her new teacher. And we had to take a picture with the backpacks, because I swear Madie took an hour just to find the right one!

Girls Weekend in Vegas

So last weekend I took Branden to the airport in Vegas. Afterward, I was supposed to hook up with some girlfriends.
Well they flaked out and so I took My Girls.















We stayed at the Rio, which Bryn Loved. Besides all the 40 year old men who always stole the beaded necklaces the dancers threw at us. MEN. ;) I mean really! Here is this little girl waving her hands & arms above her head and the Dummies race her for plastic necklaces. We had to go to this show every hour, on the hour from 7-11 pm two nights in row. Thank Goodness 4 the sweet little shoe shine man who watched this take place, he always gave Bryn her pick of colors when he saw us.

So one of the pools at the Rio had sand around it. The girls thought that was the coolest. So did I until we tried to walk on it without shoes? After we moved our chairs to the edge of the pool. The girls just played all day, made friends, sandcastles, hung with mom. It really was a good time. It was nice to sit the heat of 150 degrees (i swear).
Bryn is a Dork. She loves to be covered in sand? WHY? I think she took most of it with her back to the room too!
Love ya Girls!!! :)

Me, Mom, Tuft, Mindi & Shane



I have been trying to get these dang pics off my computer to blog, however I couldn't find where I had saved them too. So thanks Mindi for resending them! ;) Anyway, here we are at the Shaw wedding this summer.
