You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Memory Tag

This tag is pretty unique, so I thought I would give it a shot.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Great weekends

Well couple of weekends ago turned out to be a very great weekend. Mandy & Taylor ended up coming down on a spur of the moment type trip and Aliya was with Jake that weekend so everyone was here! We had so much fun but of course I forgot my camera at home so I have no pictures of the fun here with everyone. It was so cute, now that the cousins are getting older they are really starting to play together. It is so adorable. Raegan and Ali kept holding hands and walking back to play in the playroom. And of course there was lots of swimming and BBQ it was so much fun to have all the family here(but one minor detail, I had only pack for Friday b/c we were planning on going home after Sal's birthday but decided on staying so my poor kids had nothing to wear but oh well)
Then on Monday(gotta love 4 day work weeks) WE went out to the Reservoir in Logandale to get out of the house, swim, fish and just have some family fun. Let me tell you it was a blast! I think we found our Monday ritual fro the summer. I actually got to read a book I have been wanted to read for years. So if all works out I may get a lot of reading done this summer! anyway here are some pics from our Family Fun Day!


Then on the 4th of July we decided to come down to Vegas and spend the holiday with family. That weekend turned out to be a great weekend also. First we spent some time at my Family's home, the kids swam, the boys BBQ, and I took pictures. Then we headed over to the Stankosky Party and again the kids swam and we ate and I took pictures, then back over to my parents house for some firework fun. Lincoln somewhat enjoyed the colors but wasn't all that interest, Raegan was in a daze and Ethan hated them(Which was weird because he loved them last year)and Jake had Ali again this weekend and she loved the fireworks. anyway so after the home fireworks were done we loaded up to try to catch the base firework show, but no luck they were over so we parked and watched the valley's fireworks. All in all it turned out to be a good 4th of July. Then on Saturday we had a fun crazy day. We heard the Disney store was having a crazy awesome sale so we went, no stroller, one 9 month, two 2yr olds, and one 3 yr old at the mall, in the Disney store. That is enough to wear someone out. But the kids were not that bad besides the constant trips to the bathroom. So while the girls(minus Tonya she had to work) were at the mall, the boys went to the Harley Davidson dealership to look at bike(their newest obsession) then we relaxed some, some swam, some took naps, then the boys went to Jake's to watch the fight and the girls(plus DAD) went to Red Robin to eat then off to Tonya's house to play the Wii. After staying way to long at Tonyas(b/c of course Matt had to play after the fight was over) we headed home to Logandale at about 11pm. But we had a lot of fun!!
I love Great Weekends with Family!
PS I have to post pictures later b/c my computer is super slow when it comes to posting pictures so I will do it when I go down to Vegas!

BIG GIRL

That is right I now have 2 potty trained children. We started last Wednesday, I totally was not going to start until all the diapers were gone but she found her pull-ups that I bought a while back when they were on sale and she told me she didn't want to wear her diaper anymore she wanted to wear underwear so I started right then. Again I have to say I prefer the naked approach. I did it a little different with Raegan I put underwear on in the morning and once she had an accident that was it no more underwear she went naked the rest of the day. I was really impressed because we went out of town on like her 3rd day of training and she only had one accident while we were down in Vegas. She even survived the mall trip with no accidents. I cannot believe my babies are growing up!
