Labor Day 09

Over Labor Day weekend this year we spend it up at Grandpa and Grandma Cox's cabin. We had lots of fun playing with our family. We also celebrated Karla's 23rd birthday while we were up there. Happy Birthday Karla! Whitney had lots of fun watching the squirrels and chipmunks come and eat seeds.

Grandma Williams was helping Kami feed the squirell that the girls named Chubbs some peanuts.

Its was so beautiful outside that I just had to take some cute pictures of each of my beautiful girls enjoying nature.

Kaylee's 7th Birthday!

For Kaylee's, Whitney's and early Kami's Birthdays Grandma Dahl took the girls to build-a-bear. They had a ton of fun and have really enjoyed playing with their new build-a-bears, Thanks Grandma! Here's our big 7yr old with her fancy birthday cake that her mom made her.

What a bunch of cheesy kids!

Kaylee got a new fancy hat at school for her birthday. That's my girl!

Happy 3rd Birthday Whitney!

Whitney's sporting her new clothes and baby backpack on her 3rd birthday. Grandma and Grandpa Dahl came out to visit Whitney on her birthday and took her to get her ears pierced. She was such a big girl and looks gorgeous with her pretty new earrings.

Whitney's showing us her new barbie that her sisters gave her for her birthday. We are so proud of our little girl and can't believe our baby's 3 yrs old now. She is such a cutie and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. It wouldn't be the same without her. We love you Whit!!

Fathers Day

I just want to let Cody, my Dad and Randy know how much we love them and what wonderful fathers they are. Me and the girls lifes wouldn't be the same without them. We celebrated fathers day a week early with my dad in Yellowstone and had a great time with him. Love you Dad! Of course there's my wonderful father-in-law Randy with Kaylee, Kami, Whitney and Gabe. Each of the kids gave grandpa a special gift that each of them picked out and I'm sure he's enjoying them. Thanks for all that you do!

Here's to my wonderful husband, he is such a wonderful father to our girls and anyone who see's him with them can tell how much he loves and cares about them. I am so grateful for him and all that he does. Love you Cod!

What a bunch of goofs!

Yellowstone Day 3

This is part of the group on our last hike in Yellowstone, we had lots of fun together and can't wait to see where we go next year. Kami loves her aunt Karla!!

This is us checking out Yellowstone Lake.

Peeewwwyyyy!!

Great Grandpa Williams was kind enough to ride with us on most of our yellowstone trip. We can't tell him enough how much fun we had with him and are so glad he decided to come.

Yellowstone Day 2

We have a fun day visiting the park on this day. In this picture we are standing right by the lower falls in the grand canyon. Wow, what a beautiful sight!! Cody had Whitney in the stroller and toughed in through pushing her all the way up and down this steep walk. Many people gave him their condolences but he powered through. We stopped at lots of different places to go hiking around and checking out all the stinky geysers and hotpots. Its really an incredible sight and the kids had tons of fun!

We had lots of help from Grandpa and Grandma Cox and also Great Grandpa Williams. The girls just had a really good time with them and so did we.

I took lots of pictures and wish I could share more of our exciting trip.

Here we are at our first sighting of buffalos.

Stay tuned for Day number 3 of our Yellowstone adventure.

Yellowstone Day Trip Day 1

Last Friday we loaded up the family and headed to Yellowstone Park with the Cox family. We stayed in a big cabin in Island Park. There was a hot tub and the kids were dying to try it out. Except for Whitney, she was brave enought to have daddy help her touch the water. Kaylee, Kami and our nephew Gavin had a good time splashing around in the hot tub together.

We wend for a walk around the cabin we stayed in and the kids had a great time picking wild flowers. Here's Gavin and Whitney throwing rocks together.

Kaylee gathered as many flowers and she could hold, isnt she getting so beautiful. We are such lucky parents.

Of course theres our lovely Kami who made sure to pick flowers for everyone. She had a blast finding all different kinds of flowers.

And heres our whole flower picking crew, almost all of the kids, we were just missing Kennedy. This is basically how we spent our first day, just visiting, lounging, hot tubbing and picking flowers.What a great way to start our vacation.
