Going Camping!

Last weekend we went camping with a few of our friends from Cody's MBA program. Everyone has been away for their summer interns and this was the first weekend that most of them were back home so decided to go camping before all of the boys started school again.

Here we have Brooklyn, Rusty and Karalee blowing on the fire to get it going.

Brooklyn did a great job collecting sticks for our fire. Rusty and Nikki excited to be camping.

All of the girls sitting around the fire, I had the best chair at the campsite.

All of the boys had to have something to hold for the picture it was pretty funny we took a few pictures and in each one each boy is doing something different. All of these guys love hanging out with each other, it is so much fun to hang out with them and their wives.

Cody is so worn out from setting up camp and building the fire.

Cody did a Triathlon!

Cody did a triathlon this weekend with his buddy Rusty and our cousin Craig. Cody has did many triathlons before but this was my first triathlon that I have ever been to and seen Cody do. So I was excited to be there to cheer him on. It was so much fun! He is amazing!

Here are the boys getting ready to start the swim part of the race it is the first thing that they do then they bike and then run! They are the group next to the land over to the right.

This picture and the one before is Cody coming out of the water from doing the swimming part he did such a good job he was the first one out of the three of them to finish the swimming part. I love this picture of Cody he is so happy!

So I missed seeing Cody getting on his bike and doing anything with a bike but he did a great job during the biking section he was still in front of the other two boys. Then he went to running I guess while he was switching from biking to running he didn't feel to hot his legs kind of started cramping up so he had a few hard seconds but once he got going he was doing great and was on a role. He finished the race in good timing he did better than what his goal was so that was great. He is awesome and I love him he makes me so proud!

The boys after they finished the race Rusty, Cody, Craig. They all did a great job!
Rusty and Cody after the race what studs!

Cody and me after the race! Good job Cody! I was so happy to finally see Cody do a Triathlon!

Girls Weekend and A Trip to Oregon

I went to Oregon last weekend for a girls weekend. Every summer since high school a group of my friends get together and go to the beach to have girl time for a weekend. This is my second time going, the first time I went was the first girls weekend right out of high school and finally I made it back for another girls weekend and it was so much fun! This is my good friend Jennie.

Kim and Erin. While we were at the beach we ate a lot of food, talked, stayed up late, and went shopping all of girls favorite things to do!

Kris, Megan, Jennie, Annie and Cedar

After the weekend at the beach with my girlfriends I headed home and spent a few days with my family. This is my niece Anna she just turned one, Emily my sister in law came to Oregon for a few days to spend time with us. He daughter Anna 1, and Matthew 2.

The kids outside eating a cupcake from Anna's birthday party Jaron kept saying "This is the Life" it was so cute!

Hanging out with my sister Angie and Karlee in the backyard while the kids were swimming and we were wishing we were swimming in the pool with the kids.

Karlee is getting so big and so cute!

We went and picked blueberries as a family! I love picking berries it is so much fun and it is fun watching the kids do it!


Emily, Matthew, and Anna came to Utah for a couple of days and Cody got to hang out with the kids while I watched them. It was so cute Matthew loved Cody from the second Cody walked in the door.

Family Fun!

OK before you get started I just want to warn you that I put a thousand pictures up because so much has happened and I want to share all and I can't leave anyone out so I have to put a picture of everyone in this post. So lets get started, my cousin Micheal got married two weekend's ago so a lot of my family came into town and since we live right here where all the action was happening we had everyone over to our place to play we talked, laughed, ate food, played games ( like truth or dare and it was so funny to play that game with my mom, sister Angie, and my aunts we laughed and laughed it was so much fun). And we also did. . . . . . . . . . . .

Pedicures and it was so much fun to visit and to paint toe nails!

Cody even joined in on the fun and let us give him a foot soak and a foot massage you would be crazy not to jump on that! But he stopped at that he didn't let us paint his toe nails, which is a good thing. He is so funny and I love him!
My cousin Johnpaul even let us do his feet as well, he couldn't let Cody be the only one doing girlie things!

Here is everyone out of our family that made it to the wedding. It was so much fun having everyone come and stay with us. My dad flew in for the weekend, he is the best dad. My mom and sister drove the whole way with all four kids they are wonderful and the best too, for coming and staying with me and Cody!

Cody with Kelsie, Kelsie loves her Uncle Cody. She always says that she is going to Marry Cody. Whenever I talk to her on the phone right away she asks me "Can I talked to Cody?" She is so cute and I love her so much she has the biggest and best personality.

What a cute family, just kidding. We are waiting outside for the bride and groom to make their grand entrance.

Here they come, Oh wait that's not them it is the lovely couple Robert and Cody! What a cute couple they make.

Here they com!e What a happy couple Micheal and Ashely.

The bride and groom kissing!

A morning after the wedding all the aunts, Angie and I went to breakfast at Kneaders for all you can french toast I couldn't even finish one piece they were so yummy and so big. It was fun to hang out with all of the aunts one more time before they headed their separate ways.

While my family was still here and Cody's sister and her two kids Sammy and Saddie where here we took them to Chuckie Cheeses for a fun night on the town. Here Jaron is with the best smile ever. He makes me smile all the time.

Chuckie with Kallie and Jaron look at their smiles they are so excited to be with Chuckie.

Kallie and Saddie had so much fun together!

Sam and Kelsie on a ride, they were so cute together. They are only six months apart! A match made in heaven.

Jaron and Sam played a game of air hockey with each other it was so fun to watch them play one another. Jaron was so cute he told me while they were playing that he wanted Sam to score so he stopped guarding his goal as much as he had been, what a team player.

Karlee wanted to join in the fun to, look at how excited she is she is a cutie.

After Chuckie Cheeses we invited Sam and Saddie to come over and play with us for awhile. First they started out with a big pillow fight with Uncle Cody. They kids had a blast and so did Cody, it was so fun to watch all of them.

After the pillow fight the kids and Cody were so worn out they all fell asleep and took a little nap until. . . . . .. . . .. . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Cody decided to steam roll over all of the kids and then Kelsie got Cody!

Don't worry the kids got Cody back by steam rolling overr him!

And then Sam and Jaron decided to tickle Cody! Oh it was so much fun! I love having family around what memories we will all have from our fun visit from both families.
