Beautiful View

You can't get the full effect of this sunset, but is was beautiful tonight. We have a great view from our home and this was one of the best that we have seen!

Front Runner Adventure

Ryan took a day off work last week and we decided to take the train to Salt Lake. The girls thought it was quite an adventure (Ryan is now determined to ride the Amtrak train somewhere for a vacation, he first wanted to take a Greyhound bus so I guess I can't complain about Amtrak, it could be a lot worse!) Anyway we boarded in Ogden, rode to Salt Lake, spent the day at the Gateway, walking around, eating, going to Build-A-Bear, catching a movie, and then headed back home. We had a great time together!

The girls on the train (you can see Ryan's mom and nephew Kade across the aisle)
Maddie with her new monkey from Build-A-Bear! It was really cute to watch her. Grandma even built a bear for herself!
Running through the fountains at the Gateway. (Notice we are all in long pants and sweatshirts, it has got to warm up sometime....)
The group (except me) sitting by the fountains.

Wheeler Farm

The girls and I were visiting some friends in Salt Lake last week and decided to stop at Wheeler Farm on our way home. We have always loved Wheeler Farm and I am loving it that my girls are getting old enough to enjoy it as much as I do! We had a great day!

The three girls in the back of a wagon!
Ashlyn and the duck they were trying to get pictures with!
Morgan is pretty close to the duck (this was very brave for her!)
Our Little Miss Maddie Sue

There was a mama duck with eight little babies. Here are Mads and Ashlyn seeing how close they can get!

Summer Time!!!

Those of you who know me know that I LOVE my summers, and it started today!!! I know school got out last Friday, but it never really counts until Sunday night and Monday morning when you don't have to get up and do anything. The girls fell asleep at 7:00 p.m. last night and woke up at 9:00 a.m. this morning. I'm think these last few weeks have been as hard on them as they were on me. We have had a wonderful day working in the yard, taking Ryan some lunch, and I may even make dinner tonight!!!

Ashlyn's Gym Performance

Ta Da!! I think this was Ashlyn's favorite part of the entire year, saying tada after each thing (and you have to stand on the start to say it!)
Ashlyn has absolutely no fear and is a crazy girl on the tramps. Just after I took this picture she tried to flip backwards and landed on her head and hurt her neck. Scared me (and her)!
This is her with her trophy, she was so excited and did a great job this year. She can't wait to start gymnastics next year and get to be in the "big" gym without her mom there! I can't believe how quickly my girls are growing up!
