Hot August Nights

It's been a while since I have posted. Not much going on until now. The kids came over for Hot August Nights and spent a week. It was great but hectic! Just keeping track of Kaidence is a full time job. I don't know how Nick and Heather keep up with her.

We spent alot of time in the backyard chillin. The guys enjoyed their bonding (or drinking) time in the "Man Garage". Nick and Heather brought their WII. Jack and I played it for the first time. I spent all week getting my butt kicked at everything (golf, bowling, tennis, boxing, even cow racing). It sucked, I am not a gracious looser!!!

Kaidence was happiest when she was playing in water and soaking everything and everyone within her reach, which means I was soaked pretty much the whole time.

Kaidence has been in training to become a "biker babe" on her own motorcycle. She went for her very 1st real motorcycle ride! She didn't want to get off.

You can tell she belongs in our family, she already wants to shoot guns.

I forced them into having a family pictures taken. You can tell by the look on Jack's face how painful it was. I tried threatening the guys about smiling. Obviously Tyler is the only one scared of me!

Oregon-California Coast Trip

Jack and I went on a week long motorcycle trip up into Oregon and down the California coastline. It was my maiden voyage on my motorcycle. We went into Oregon as far as Coos Bay and ended in Chico, California.

We went through the "Valley of the Giants" redwoods.

We hiked a little ways in and it was so peaceful and magical, I expected to see some wood nymphs or fairies or some other worldly creature.

We ran into some pretty thick fog on the coast. It was creepy! I just

tried to stay between my lines and followed Jack's taillights.

My new motorcycle

We just got me a new motorcycle. I am really enjoying it and looking forward to our motorcycle trip to the coast in a few weeks. Hopefully my fanny will make it!!!

Swinging with the Gram

We went to the park and had a swinging good time!

Memorial Day

Kaidence helped grandma clean her special friend's graveside! We had a lot a fun until she dumped the bucket of water in her lap, then she was done!!

1st Trip to the Zoo

Nick, Heather and Kaidence took their 1st trip to the zoo. Grandma didn't get to go, but enjoyed looking at the pictures.

From St. George to Salt Lake

After the week in St. George we went up to Salt Lake to see the family. Kaidence is growing up to fast in her gram's eyes. She is starting to put words together instead of just saying "NO"!

Boy do we miss being in Salt Lake.
