Penny Girl!!

She's been a Diva since she was born!! haha! I'm so blessed to be Penny's mommy! She brings us so much joy! With all that sass we wouldn't change a thing about her! She just turned 3 1/2yrs old! Penny LOVES to sing, dance and perform!!! She is absolutely obsessed with Frozen!! The singing of it!!! She will song all day long!! She has so much personality that some days I think she doesn't even know what to do with all of it! haha! She also Loves anything to do with school! She loves to learn! She is so sweet to her little brother!! She loves helping mommy especially when it comes to helping her little brother!! We sure Love our little Diva!!! 

Oh the Excitement of Glamis!!!

Oh what a trip!!! We just got back from our annual Glamis sand dune trip!! Glamis is pretty far to drive to so we only go down there 1 rime a year!! It was so dang windy the whole time!! That didn't stop the kids from having fun!!! Here's a few of the good highlights from the weekend! The Ice cream Truck is one of them!!! Penny can hear that music from miles away and she will come out of what ever trailer she's playing in and yell "Ice Cream!" It's the best! This time she had grandpa a jumping to buy!! It was so funny to see my dad move so fast to get ice cream for his grand kids!! I love it!!

Here's the scary highlight..... Chad crashed on the first day on the first ride of the long weekend!! What! Yikes!! So Scary!! He was fine!! Just a little sore the next day from whip flash but that poor Razor!! But that doesn't stop my honz! He loaded it up on a trailer and took it into the town near by and had it fixed! It was done with in that day!! So needless to say Chad was out riding again! But while we were gone getting his razor fixed Chad's dad crashed his razor and he was hurt! He crushed 2 vertebrates in his back! We can't believe it! We are just so sad for him!! His dad's Razor was completely fine that's the crazy part! That was some crazy scary excitement for the weekend!! We have been really lucky with as much as we go out to the dunes to be as safe as we have been!

The cutest highlight was when Gma Ruthie named these girls the "Pinkie Girls Club!" They LOVED it! Penny felt so special! Gma Ruthie made Valentine Heart Necklaces with them and then they all watched a movie together!! They all get along so good! Penny is still talking about the "Pinkie Girls Club!" and she also told me that she is Gma Ruthie's Grand Daughter! What! How does she know to put those words together! and the funny part is Gma Ruthie is really my cousin thru marriage but we are just going with it! Because Penny LOVES her Gma Ruthie!!!

Brianhead Fun!

It's always so fun to go to the snow!!! We try to go to Brianhead at least once a year! Chad gets to snowboard and I get to take pics of Penny playing in the snow all day!! This year we had little Cash!! So I bundled him up and hooked him right on me so I could be hands free!! :) He was such a good boy all day! Always is! Love my little man!! Penny Loved the snow! We were going to put her in ski school but she has to be 4yrs old! So next year should be even more fun!!

For lunch I met up with all the boarders!!! So fun!! And then Chad decided to stay with me and kids for the rest of the day!! We had a blast! We just road around looking at all the beautiful cabins and scenery! I just love our times together!!!

Chad and Penny had a blast played in the snow together! Penny just kept squealing and giggling!!! All Penny wanted to do was make Snow Angels, make a Snowman like "Olaf", and roll and slide down the snow!! She's so funny! It hadn't snowed up there since before Christmas so the snow was so icey! So when we went to make a Snowman it would just fall apart!  The snow just wouldn't stick together! Penny thought that was funny too!! We had such a wonderful time!! Thanks Johnson's for letting us stay with you guys!!!

Yee-Haw!!! Ride-em Cowgirl!!!!

 

We sure do LOVE our bff' Simisters!!! Doug and Elise took us out to ride their beautiful horses last Saturday!! Every time Penny would see Doug she would ask to ride his Horses! So we finally found time between both our crazy schedules to do some riding!! Oh man was she in Heaven!

So Doug has 2 Horses a reddish brown one named Red and a white one named Diamond! Diamond is a baby only like 8mons old! Awe so cute!!! I thought Penny would be a little scared to ride such a big horse but nope!!! She hopped right up on Red and we couldn't get her off!! She LOVED it!!!!!!

 Yee-Haw!!!! Ride-em Cowgirl!! She had the time of her life! Such a BIG girl up there! Daddy was pretty dang proud of her too!! He's such a country boy at heart!! Love it!! I could hear him out there coaching her how to hold on and ride! So Sweet!  He walked her around and around and around for quite a while and she still didn't want to get off!!

 Such a fun morning! Thanks bff's for letting us come out and play! We can't wait until next time!

This is why I LOVE pulling my camera out a taking pictures of this little miss sassy pants! This is all her! No coaching needed here! She just started a moving and I started a clicking!!! LOVE HER!!!! She makes my heart happy!!!!!

Little Cash is eating something new!!

Oh let the fun begin!!! I can't believe my little man is old enough to start eating Rice!! We just started a couple days ago! Cash just turned 5mons! and boy do we have a big helper!! Penny gets so excited when it's time to feed her little brother! He loves it too!! He opens his mouth better for her than for me!! Oh I just love these to with all my heart!

Baby Boy is 5mons Already!

Another month has come and gone!! We can't believe our little Cash in 5mons old!! He is the most chill baby!! He's just as happy as can be all day long!! He loves making sounds! He sounds just like a little dolphin! He absolutely loves his big sissy!! If he catches his eye on her he starts smiling and talking!! It's the best when he starts a giggling! He's also been drooling a ton! No teeth yet and don't really expect any anytime soon! Remember Penny didn't get her 1st tooth until she was 16mons!! Yikes!!! :)  haha! He loves to eat!! Loves his special formula bottles! He's and expensive little eater! :) Our little Cash has been such an added delight to our little family!! We are just loving you....baby Cash!!

Loving Our Long Stay Out On The Dunes!

The day after Christmas to almost the New Year we spent out at the Dunes! We loved it! This was the longest we had ever camped out there!! It was so nice to get away and just shut our busy lives off for a wk!! It was awesome!! The kids had a blast! Played so hard and the boys rode so hard!!! It was beautiful weather the whole time! We had a huge circle of campers this time! Even Eryn came out for 3 days before she flew back home to Oklahoma!! That was the highlight for all! We love that Eryn!!! Lots of picture collages to enjoy! I have been loving my new lens as you can see!! Ever since I have gotten it I have been shooting in manual mode! Wow! That makes a huge difference in your pics! I have never done that mode with all the picture taking I do! I have been missing out! Not anymore!! :)

As you can see the kids had a blast!!! So much freedom out at the dunes!! They just run wild all day!!!

This face is to die for!! He Loves his momma!!!!Well pretty much anyone that smiles at him he will give a BIG smile back! Awe...just melts your heart!!! He's truly the best baby! He even stayed on his little sched out there! He hardly makes a peep!! Love him!!!

Penny rode for the first time all by herself on her little quad! We were so proud!! She loved it!!! She's getting so big even though she looks so small on it! haha! We love our times at the Dunes!! Happy New Year!!!

The Merriest Christmas!!!

So here's our Busy Christmas FUN all wrapped up in some cute picture collages!! :)

The top collage is from my Dad ans Janeen's Christmas dinner! Its tradition to always get together the Sunday before Christmas! We always have a great time eating, laughing, opening presents and taking pics!! The grand babies are filling up! Everyone had a baby this year except my brother and my sister! That's crazy! All of Janeen's kids had babies and me and Eryka!! It's been a busy 2013!! So fun to get the cousins together! I do have to say the highlight of the night was when Penny opened her present from Grandma Janeen! It was a Princess Microphone! We couldn't get her off the mic from singing!! She hasn't stopped either! She LOVES to sing and now she said she's a "Rock Star!!!" The perfect gift for her Grandma!! Great job!!!

Just couldn't resist this pic collage! I snapped these on Christmas Eve! I love getting these candids of Penny holding Cash!! She loves holding him!! Its so fun to catch their faces!!! Love these two so much!!!

On Christmas Eve we headed to Chad's dad for dinner! He took us to Lucille's BBQ at the Red Rock! Such yummy food!! If you haven't been...You better! You won't be disappointed!! :) We had such a great time! We have gotten together with his dad for the last few years on Christmas Eve and it's just nice and relaxed! No rushing around trying squeeze time in on Christmas! We will continue doing this! :)

Then it was Christmas morning!! Oh my!! The BEST Christmas yet with Penny!! She was hyped all morning long!! Santa found her and Cash and she was so excited!! She finally is really getting it!! She loved everything! She kept thanking Santa over and over saying "Santa loves me...he got me everything I really wanted...Thank you Santa where ever you are!!!!!" haha! She's the best! and at every present she opened she would say "Oh my gosh!"... "shut up!"..."no way!"..."stop it!" haha! She totally kills us with her big sassy words! She loved her Stocking too! Little Cash stayed awake for just about 1 picture and he was off to bed! He loves his little schedule! :) He truly is the best baby! We all got spoiled! Chad got his first Coach Wallet and I got my first high end camera lens that I have been wanting for a long time!! We are so grateful! The Best Christmas ever!!

Then it was off to Deedee's (Chad's mom) for her traditional Christmas Breakfast! We Love going over to her house every year for her homemade scones and all the fixings! We stuffed our bellies and opened fun presents!! but the highlight of the morning was when Drew proposed to Tara!!! I'm getting a new brother-n-law! Little Auntie Linn is getting Married!! We are so excited for the both of them! It was such a special morning!!

We ended our busy amazing day at my brother's house! We always end our Christmas here every year! It was the best because Eryn was there!!! We love that Eryn! All we were missing was little Eryka and her sweet family! My brother requested a white chicken chili soup for dinner and I volunteered to make it! What...me!!! Yes me and it turned out perfect! It was the best yummy soup! I was quite impressed with my self since I never cook!!! haha! So we filled our bellies up and opened more presents!! Such a FUN day!! We love being with our families on Christmas! It's always such a busy day for us going form house to house but so worth every year! We Love Christmas time!!
