More pics from the Wet Land adventure!

This was honestly such a fun trip outdoors! (:

Enjoying Las Vegas Wet Land's

Today, we went and explored the Vegas Wet Lands. We hiked along a river and enjoyed the beautiful and not so beautiful views and enjoyed all the fresh air that Vegas has to offer! We discovered this little trail in "no mans land" right by "Lake Las Vegas" I don't think very many people know about it. We just happened to stumble across it while we were four wheeling last week. We decided to go this week to see what it was like. I believe we hiked for a good 2 1/2 hours. It was great! We saw ducks, found a cave, enjoyed the 65-70 degree weather and even got some good exercise in the process! (:

I had to talk Rylee into going into the cave with me. She didn't like that it was dark (hence the weird face she is pulling)! lol

What we saw... I'm sure it will look even more beautiful in the Spring/Summer (which we will be hiking again when that comes!!!)

Sneaky little Stinker!

Every night for the past 2 weeks strait, Bo has been sneaking into our room and falling asleep somewhere on the floor or at the foot of our bed. I stay up until the kids are 100% asleep but, when I wake up in the morning, POW.... He's there! This morning proved one thing though, he does it when we're 100% out or Owens off to work. Owen left to work this morning around 5am. Bo wasn't in my room, I know... I looked! When I woke up this morning, I was thinking, "wow, He slept in his own room!" Then I rolled over and there he was! ): Such a sneaky little guy isn't he? Anyway, better luck tomorrow!!!

It's that time again for us!

We are needing to move at the end of this month (Our lease is up). I have been looking like crazy for a home to move into with our direct needs. I am coming up empty handed so far and the Realtors I have had help us, haven't even called me back! Does anyone know a reliable Realtor that can help us? We are planning on staying in LV, we just need somewhere that isn't so expensive, but still nice! (:

Tis the season again!

So this nasty bug was caught by all three of my poor children this WHOLE week. They have had a high fever (I'm talking in the 105's), croupy cough, runny/stuffy nose, throwing up and just plain miserable. Owen and I haven't caught it yet (knock on wood) since I have been trying my best to keep things clean and sanitized really well. I hate to see my kids sick and not their normal selves. They have all just been laying around the house and sleeping all the time, not to mention that they have been in our bedroom the whole week as well. I honestly hope everyone else is healthy and keeping this nasty thing out of your homes! If by chance someone did catch it, hopefully you'll have plenty of Motrin, Tylenol, Triamenic, Mucinex and Kleenex to last a good week +.

Our Christmas trip to Utah!

Owen took a whole week off of work last week so we could go to Utah to spend Christmas with the family. It SNOWED and SNOWED and SNOWED some more. We absolutely loved the snow and played in it almost everyday. We went to Coalville to Owens families farm and fed the pigs.

Owen's entire family and us, went to Temple square to see the lights. It was WAY to cold outside to be out for to long. We walked around, ate a donut and drank some hot chocolate and then headed home.

Christmas morning was so much fun. My two brothers and niece Brinly woke all of us up at 6:30am. I'm sure it would have been earlier, but all of us "grumpy adults" threatened all of them with their lives! (: Needless to say, we had a great Christmas and Santa spoiled all the kids! (;

My tired little man. He passed out right when I got him dressed for the day.

Trip to the Springs Reserve

On Friday, we all went with our friends Mike and Heidi to the "Springs Reserve" to see the lights and Santa and to just see what it was all about. While we were there, the kids got their face painted and we did get to see their Santa. Bo didn't want to get close and Kodi just stared. It was a fun night out out with the family! (:

Trial 2 week exercise/diet.

On Monday, I started working out every morning and sometimes night for a good 30 minutes to an hour. I have been eating SUPER healthy and watching my calories that I eat and not snacking. My goal is to lose 10-15 lbs in 2 weeks! On Monday, I weighed 127.... I now weigh 123 and it is still dropping! (: I feel better then ever and am looking forward to what the end results will be and who knows, I might keep it up! (;

My new RING!!!

Those of you who know me really well, know that I have wanted a thicker band since Owen first proposed to me. Well, after almost 5 years of waiting.... I GOT IT!!! I am so excited and had NO idea how it was going to turn out and I LOVE IT! It's totally not what I expected, but I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! (: Anyway, Thanks honey for letting me get it done! (: (: (: I love you!

(The old ring is the two bands and 5 diamonds in the middle. The new part is the sides with the diamonds)
