Covid Week 11 | Last Week of School

Covid Week 11 | Last Week of School


We spent memorial day at the cabin with my family. It was so much fun to spend time outside with all of them. The kids truly loved playing with their cousins ALL day. Stacey had a great time playing some spike ball with the brothers. We helped dad cut down a tree. The boys enjoyed the 4 wheeler rides that grandpa and uncles took them on.




Travis' birthday was Wednesday, his mom came Tuesday evening to watch the kids and we went out to dinner and on a nice kid-free walk. :) I made him a delicious Tres Leches cake.


Last day of school photos! Love these kids. So proud of Sam and how well he did with school work at home and how much he has learned this past year. 



Went to a little preschool "graduation" for Tyler. The kids had fun and enjoyed seeing Mrs. Hamilton again.



We also went to Merlin Olsen park and played in the river cause it was so hot this week.
Glad the playgrounds are open at the moment. Fun time playing with Bronson & Brizzy.


Saturday the boys spent at least 2 hours in the morning playing legos with Eli on his front porch.
He and Cora came over and spent a few hours in our backyard. It was glorious. I forgot how much I love having their friends around to keep them entertained. ;) But really, friends have been missed.



Utah has been looking mostly back to normal, or at least a new normal, lately. It's a little strange, cause there's still plenty of states in lock down, or with more restrictions. We're trying to do the best we can with the knowledge we have. It's hard to know what to do and how to keep us all safe while still living our lives. So much unknown still about this virus and we just want to be responsible. :)

Covid Week 10

Covid Week 10


We got the boy's a bunk bed this week. It was their favorite toy for 2 whole days. :) The boys even helped me paint it.







Amelia came location scouting with me and had a pretty grand time. So many pretty places nearby!



Made this grasshopper cake to celebrate Travis & Shiloh's birthday at the cabin tomorrow. Can't wait to eat it. :)

Covid Week 9

Covid Week 9


The beginning of this week was rough for me. I lacked a lot of motivation. Just kind of hit a mental roadblock I guess. So, Wednesday I took the kids to the River Trail and we had a great time exploring, found a great spot for the kids to play and Tyler even had his first bush wee! Ha!
It really was a great day, so calming to listen to the river. And I do love hanging out with these 3 awesome kids.


We made a little trip down to the Salt Lake Valley cause I had a photo session and Travis had some pulse errands to run. Got to see G&G Stradley's completed basement and had a picnic with them and Matthew, Mary & Nelson. Good to see family. :)


This boy and his faces!!



Gorgeous sunset from Tunnel Springs!


This little girl. She's grown up so much lately. Talking a LOT. Loud. Always snuggling in some blankets, unless she's running around playing with all the toys. :) Love her.





Also made it out to see Grandpa Marble & Grandma Lisa for a little Sunday dinner.

Went out to Travis' mom's for Mother's day dinner. Did a fancy picnic with some pudding parfaits for dessert. :) Kids loved the pool as always.


Love these kids. So glad I get to be their mom.

Covid Week 7

Covid Week 7


This week was...good. Hung outside a bit, hung indoors a bit more. We got the garage all cleaned out.


We got our prize of crumbl cookies from Matthew & Mary for coming in 2nd on the scavenger hunt!


Bike ride to get donuts. :)





For our night out this week we got dinner at Cafe Rio and had a picnic at Old Main Hill. The kids had a blast playing on the hill. Amelia did her best to roll down. Travis rolled down the entire hill. (And suffered the consequences after. ;) 









Got out and took some pictures in the backyard full of phoenix gems, or dandelions. :)


We drove down to G&G Stradley's house since the rules were changed a little regarding the corona virus. We had a picnic outside and let the kids play around for a couple of hours before heading back home. It was good to see them in person. :)


This weeks cake was Dulce De Leche. It was FANTASTIC. Took a piece to Sara, Jamie and Erin, great to chat with all of them!
