Slacker

I have been such a slacker with my blog, but between work, making bows and Bladen's activities we have been busy.

Me and my good friend Jenna enjoy doing craft projects together and we started getting lots of requests to make things for others so we got a crazy, hair brain idea to sign up for the Chris Cringle Craft Fair 2 weeks before it started... let me inform you people prepare for this show for a whole year.  We decided we were going to go with the hair bows theme.  We worked our little guts out for 2 weeks to get as many things made before the show as possible.  We ended up doing well at the show and had such a good time.

We have since set up a blog and have had lots of success - check it out

Vacation #7 - Random

During our vacation in Cedar we did so many fun things, but the thing I love most is just spending time with my family. Here are my remaining random pics from our trip home.

Bladen driving us to church

B's favorite - riding bikes and 4-wheelers up and down Nana and Papa's street

And of course, getting ready to go shopping. This picture is hilarious (and kind of sad) because poor B is getting a talkin' to by both me and Auntie :(

Bladen loved riding in Papa's '72 because it "goes SUPER fast"

We took Grandma Sus to Rusty's for her 50th birthday!

This was our 1st time to Park Discovery!

Bladen had to wash his 4-wheeler after getting off the mountain

Because we had to be up so early the morning we flew out, we decided to head down to Vegas the night before and take B to the Strip since he's never been and I haven't been in years. We stayed at the Excaliber and spent our night walking around all the casinos and watching the water show at the Bellagio and viewing the pretty flower garden display that they have. It was super fun and B was in awe with all the lights and all the crazy action!

Vacation #6 - 4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July in Cedar. We enjoyed the parade, park activities, Pizza Factory, fishing at Lake on the Hill, watching the city's fireworks and popping poppers.

Awww how sweet with his hand on his heart

Kapri and Bladen were candy catching fools. B was sooo good to share with the other little kids though when they didn't get any.

B's prized catch from the parade... a free blizzard!

Papa getting B's fishing pole ready

Cute cousins - they have a brother/sister relationship - nice one minute, mean the next thanks to B.

Bladen wanted to get a picture with Uncle Ben all day!

Bladen with Uncle Nick and Candice

I've come to realize my child loves to be in his underwear... hey it was dark out popping poppers so that's ok.

Nice bum, where you from?

Vacation #5 - Sand Hollow and Deer Valley

After our fun filled vacation in San Diego, we were only in Cedar for a couple days before we headed back out on more adventures, which include my 2 favorite places in the whole world - the lake and the mountain!

Our first stop was Sand Hollow where we spent 2 days, which included having a Bulloch BBQ with all my dad's family.

Before we left, B had to put on his "fire" tattoo to match my dad's race truck which has flames going down it

Waiting to load up and leave Cedar

Sand Hollow Reservoir

Packing up the Prowler and heading to the beach

Rylee, Bladen and Zoe could not stop splashing water and throwing mud at each other!

B using his life jacket for the 1st time... he did pretty good!

Marley was so content just playing in the sand with herself

Bladen was so excited to see Uncle Nick that he biffed it in the sand while running to him. Every crack and crevis was filled with sand.

Lindsey, Zoe and Marley headed down again on the second day to get some more playing time in. The kids play so good together.

Marley, Zoe and Bladen

Mmmm... coke and lake water mixed

After 2 sweltering hot and windy days at the lake, we headed to Cedar for a shower and go to the grand opening of the Lake on the Hill before heading to Deer Valley on Cedar Mountain.

Cedar definately needed something like the Lake on the Hill and the new Rec Center!

Papa's co-captain in the bus

Mr. B is obsessed with collecting sticks in his 4-wheeler. Right after this picture him and Nana unloaded the wood into the fire and left his wheeler parked right next to the fire because it wasn't going yet. Little did they know that the fire was still hot and next thing we knew my dad goes to check on the fire and B's wheeler was bring melted. Luckily it still goes and hopefully I will just be able to get a new tire for it. He was devistated!

The 4 beauties... this is off the subject but before we left for San Diego, my dad had Bladen with him down at the Fab shop. Bladen was playing with Buck and the next thing my dad hears is Buck crying. Bladen had slammed his foot in the door, which required surgery the day we left for California. I'm surprised B didn't get his butt kicked for hurting my dad's baby, but he told my dad it was an accident and my dad told me the only reason he didn't kick his butt is because it was Bladen. It's pathetic, in a good way, how much my Dad loves Bladen and vice-versus. No one else matters when them two are together!

B's new jungle gym

Our home for 4 consecutive days

The dogs needed a bath so we headed to Navajo Lake.

B and Nana playing with a broken fishing pole.

I have NEVER seen Navajo Lake as full as it was. The both sides of the damn were covered with water - it was so pretty up there!
