First Annual Girls Weekend!

This weekend Sarah, Kami, Carrie and I enjoyed some much needed girl time in Salt Lake. A HUGE thanks to Carrie for letting us sleep at her house.....well stay at her house!!

On our way out of town, Sarah had to stop at the fair grounds in Blackfoot to turn in her pictures for the fair.....I thought it appropriate to document that for her! :)

That night, we met up with Carrie and ate at Tipanyaki....SUPER TASTY!!

After a little late night shopping, we headed back to Carries house to "sleep".....we didn't get much of that....but Kami got us up bright and early at 6am to go to yard sales in Park City.....David was completely amazed that we had driven 200 miles to buy junk!! But after a few FANTASTIC finds....we made our way to the outlet malls and shopped till we literally couln't shop any more!!

The most important and most talked about purchase was Sarah's topiary trees. We all extatic when she found them!!

The last and final hurdle was to get all of the stuff that we bought into the back of Sarahs car!! We are FANTASTIC packers!!

We had a BLAST!! It was so nice to get away and get re-aqauinted......just us girls. By Saturday afternoon talk had switched from excitement of being gone, to excitement of getting home and seeing our families.

Thanks girls!! I had so much fun....you guys are the BEST!!

Truck Show

Today was the first annual Peterbuilt Truck show and Aiden and I decided to go. My older brother David, had his "home-away-from-home" in the show and all the proceeds went to help a Peterbuilt employee who was diagnosed with Lukemia.

David doesn't do ANYTHING on this truck 1/2 way!! It is the shiniest, fanciest, best looking long haul truck in the group!......complete with hard wood floors!!!

He also entered his "other" truck into the show.....

Aiden desperately wanted to make his stroller part of the show...he kept trying to squeeze it in....but Uncle David informed him that there just wasn't enough chrome on it!!

Davids big truck took 1st place in the show.....he was robbed of best interior!!! But thats just my opinion!

Boating

Tonight David had to work, so Aiden and I took my brother up on an offer to go for a boat ride. Aiden loves riding in the boat, so it seemed like a good evening activity!!

The water at Gem Lake was FREEZING!!! So after a quick zip around the lake on the wake board, we hung out on the dock to get warm!!

It was a super fun evening!! We are soaking up all of the warm weather that is left!! Hoping that there are a few more boat trips left!!

The Zoo

This afternoon, we decided to take a trip to the zoo.....a big thanks to Mike and Kami for the tour!!

The two Aidens stuck together....riding in the stroller!! Gave me a work out anyway!

Aiden loves hanging out with his buddies....his most favorite buddy is Adler...when we got in the car to go home Aiden kept saying..."no mom...ader."

The 2 Aidens, when not in the stroller, held hands!! So cute!

We had a super fun afternoon! Its always fun to get out of the house for a while!

Jefferson County Fair

Today we decided to go to the Jefferson County Fair with some other pretty crazy moms!! I always have the best time when I go anywhere with Kami and Sarah, so the fair was an absolutely FANTASTIC place for us to go!

Aiden made friends with a sheep right off the bat! They became such good friends in fact that the little sheep started to eat Aidens shirt....and then Aiden didn't want to be friends anymore....The best thing is, is that I am such a great mom, that I decided to get a picture before I saved my son from the wild beast!

The bunnies were a little less aggressive.....and not as hungry

They had a real fire truck that they let the kids get up in and hang out....My Aiden was in heaven....he didn't want to get out!!

We had an awsome time at the tiny little fair!! It was actually nice because we sat and had lunch and the kids just ran around and we didn't have to worry too much about them!! It was a fun play date!

One last thing....I have been trying to catch my little man showing his muscles on camera and I finally got it!! So, to end this post here is the cutest little face you have EVER seen!

Practice makes Perfect

I finally got Aiden to cooperate a little for some practice time with my camera. I am not a pro by a long shot, but I have found a hobby that I really enjoy.....here is my first attempt! I am also not very good with photo shop yet....but I am learning!

took a bunch more....but Aiden was only cooperative for a short time! :)

Sleepover Part 2

After Cambree's courageous time in Aunt Melissa's home-made dental office, we had to have some girl time and do mani/pedis in my home-made salon??

After the mani-pedi party, of course we had to do hair....I love having the girls over.....our house is all tractors, and big trucks....it is nice to get to do some girly things once in a while!

Thanks for coming to stay with us kiddos!! We love you guys like our own!!

The things you do...for the kids you love!

Tonight I have my favorite little people here for a visit. We like to have the Hathaway kids over especially for sleepovers!!


Last time the Hathaway chillins came to spend some time, my little Cambree was in New York....we missed her very much and we were SUPER excited to get to have her this time. When Cambree came in the door she said that there was two things that we MUST do at this sleepover......

• Paint her finger-nails and....
• pull her baby teeth!

That last one may seem like kind of a wierd request coming from a 5 year old....but since I used to do that kind of stuff, apparently she trusted me to help her out with that!

Since the tooth loss occured while Cambree was not at her own home....I was informed that I needed to call the tooth fairy and tell him to find her at my house!!

Tomorrow....Manicures!

Oh Aiden!

David made me swear not to post this picture....he said it would haunt poor Aiden his whole life....but I am a memory keeper type of person, and I laughed so hard when I saw this, that it is only fitting to remember it and share!!

Yes, this is my little boy wearing girl shoes and pushing around a "big truck!" This doesn't mean he is girly, he is just well rounded!

Son, we will be using this picture for years to come to keep the girls away!!

I am sure we will be needing much more incriminating pictures to keep the chics away from this little stud muffin!!
