Part 3-Sleep Over-YAY!

We stayed with my BFF at her darling home! It was so perfect I had to take shots,

The view from her top balcony was so majestic, the picture doensn't even do it justice.

M and B right before bed, doing what they love,

and the girls...being girls.

So much fun was had at the Colby's this year! Thank you for everything! Our first Wii experience especially! xoxo

Utah Pt. 2ish

Utah's Hogle Zoo is the best!

I really don't know who had more fun...Creed or Grandpa?

Grandpa hadn't been to the Zoo in 25 years...

it was really special to have him there with us.

Creed loved the giraffes,

he didn't like the big fan the sprayed water mist all over you, Grandpa did!

If E would stop trying to do the bunny ears in every picture, maybe I could get a good shot of the three of them together.

Mantua Camping Trip

It has been years since I have been out tenting! Then I go without Rob and with a toddler :] Good thing for Grandma and Grandpa.

Mantua is our favorite place to be. Rob proposed to me in this beautiful area. It will always be a special place. We have gone there every year for the past few trips our west and finally the kids were old enough to rough it out for an overnighter in the tent.

The water was fridged, but Creed didn't care, he absolutely loved splashing around and being a boy!

This is a keeper shot!

M and E trying to help Grandpa John start the fire.

Another keeper!

Grandma loving on the loveable!

Tio Jay and Creedy cuddling by the campfire.

I saw a side of my dad and brother that I have never seen before when it came to this fire! They were insane :)

There were a lot of great memories made on this trip. I am so thankful to my dad for all the work he did, just for one night! Thanks, Dad!

Utah Pt. 1

We woke the kids up at 4 am to board the airplane at 6:20 the morning of August 25, for we were flying West, we arrived in Utah at 7:40! How nice is that!!! The kids did great, Creed only wanted "OUT" the last 10 minutes of flight.

We had all day to soak in Utah.

Then, Tio Jay and Tia Angie come over...

OH, BOY!

They only had a little bit of fun with them :)

Creed not wanting to share his popcicle with Grandpa John, but telling him how good it is!

Tia Angie and Emma spending a precious moment together,

Creed's First Lake Day

YMCA Chase Race

Micah is a great runner, and he showed some interest in my races so when I saw that there was going to be a kid's 1K race in Fargo I told him about it and he was excited to do it. These pics are not in order ( i still can't figure out how to get them the way i want them). He was one of the first 5 in and after wards we went to Applebee's for some steak!
