Home Again!

After:


2015 miles traveled,
30 hours in the car,
Countless fill-ups at the pump,
6 bathroom stops,

1 day of sight-seeing,

1 day of LOTS of fun,

Lots of time with amazing family,

1 SUPER sunburned back,

0 mishaps,

and 3 very tired travelers ...


We are BACK from our AMAZING vacation in California. We had SO much fun. We did NOT want to come home at all!! It was such a fun and relaxing trip. I have LOADS of pictures to upload and edit and I just don't have the energy to even think about them right now. I promise I will try to get them done soon!! But, until then, here is Kason's recap of the trip.

(please excuse Kason's filthy clothes, clean clothes are at a minimum since I have no desire to do laundry).

What do you think?

Do you consider this child labor?

Before you get concerned and call the authorities, because we make our child vacuum his own room, you must know ...


We allowed him to have a cold beverage.

(and in our defense, he wanted to vacuum!)

Banana Soup Recipe

1 banana, sliced

1/4 c. flour

1/2 c. sugar

2 c. water

1/3 c. honey

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

dash of salt & pepper

Combine in pot and stir.
Do not heat on oven.

Serve pieces of banana to family members.


Recipe from: Kason's Kitchen

The chef himself!

Doesn't it look delicious?!

Kason decided he needed to cook dinner while daddy was making some. So, he would walk around the kitchen demanding ingredients from me ...

"Um ... I need SUGAR!"
"I need 1 water!"

And at the end we got a questionably delicious soup - made by Kason! He's quite the chef ya know!

8 PEOPLE I'VE TAGGED:

Anybody!! :D

Corn Huskin'

Kason got to help husk the corn a couple weeks ago. He thought it was lots of fun. I just love these pictures of him helping out!

pull HARD!

"Feel better, Dad?"

Kason always gets so concerned when Kameron isn't feeling well. The other day Kameron said his back and neck hurt so Kason hopped up on the bed and gave him a massage! It was pretty cute!!

Comfort is Key!

Our crazy son is ALWAYS sleeping in the weirdest positions. He'll wiggle around until he gets comfortable and then once he's comfy - he'll fall asleep that way.


This is one of his many "comfy positions"!

May 8-9

A couple weekends ago we went to Mesa for a couple days to go to a wedding reception and go to the temple.

It also happened to be the weekend after my birthday and the weekend of mother's day. So, I told Kameron that's all I wanted was a fun, relaxing weekend together.

We got a resort (off of priceline of course) and it was SO relaxing. There was hardly anybody there and it was so quiet and the grounds were beautiful. I wish I had taken pictures of them. There were fountains everywhere and lots of flowers. It was so nice!!

I didn't take many pictures but, these are the ones I did take...

this is Kason at the wedding reception. He loved running around with all the other kids there. And he really really wanted to jump in this fountain and go swimming!!

The reception was for Charlotte Hill, now Fairbanks. And my brother, Jeremy, took the pictures for the wedding!!! As soon as he's done with them, I'll have to post some. :D

Saturday morning Matt watched Kason for us so we could go to the temple together and then when we got back we swam and swam and swam! The weather was SO nice and the pool felt great!!!

Here is Kason relaxing ... I love these pictures!!

And no trip would be complete without a nap in the car!!

It was a GREAT weekend! We had a lot of fun and I'm glad I got to celebrate my birthday and mother's day with the two most important people in my life!! :D

Have you noticed the blog facelift?
I re-vamped the blog so that I can do this:

I wanted BIG pictures!

I have always seen people post big pictures but, could never figure out how to do it!
Well, my amazing cousin did a tutorial. And because I was so excited about learning how to do it, I'm passing the wealth of knowledge on to you! After this I expect everyone to have big pictures on their blogs!!

Read and learn here.

*enjoy!*
