Lagoon

Our once yearly trip to Lagoon is always a big party the whole family goes and we make a big day of it. I didn't really get any pictures of Pacey because he was laying down the whole time we found out a couple of days later that he had pnemonia-I know we are awesome parents dragging our child around at Lagoon with pnemonia I am hoping that someone puts my name in for some kind of parenting award.

Paceys last day of school

Preschool Graduation

If only beating children was legal.

My daughter is going to be the death of me! Whoever said that girls were easier than boys has obviously not had a girl-at the moment Tenley is currently banned from lip gloss, markers, crayons, pens, and

pretty much and form of writing untensil. This is the gem I came down stairs to find one day.

It is a really good thing that I can play dress up with her or I might lose my mind.

Petting Zoo in Scipio?

My friends that came down to St. George told us that we had to stop at the petting zoo in Scipio I was pretty sure that they were smoking crack until they showed me the pictures and yes there is an actual petting zoo at a gas station in Scipio-if you get a chance stop by. Tenley was a little gun shy about the goats because my friends had told her that the goats liked to nibble you, one climbed a rock by her and she let out a blood curdling scream (note these are tiny baby goats)it was beyond

hilarious. There is a couple of handicapped animals and a mini zebra it is a must see!

St. Jeezey

My friend from beauty school got married down in St. George and asked me and my other friends if we could come and do the wedding parties hair, so we packed up and headed down to St. George for the weekend. My kids week consisted of swimming, swimming, and more swimming.

We yanked them out of the pool and forced them to go to the wedding but they ended up having a good time because she had a photo booth and I am pretty sure Pacey took about a hundred pictures but it was way fun.

Looooong Post with lots of pics!

JBJ had to go up to Oregon to train some of his employees up there so I tagged along and played with my sister for a week-it was rough:). On ou way up there we ran in to two accidents that closed the road for 4 hours!! So we turned around and took the other way which is a mountain pass-after being told by the locals that it was a bad idea but we thought we were Utahns and we know snow-Oregonians don't know snow! Well we should have listened multiple times I was white knuckling it and almost had a panic attack then as when head up into a canyon the road was closed again and we couldn't turn around so we sat in the car for 2 hours and 15 minutes it was a total cluster />

I took pictures to ease my anxiety a little bit and these kids were troopers I was so proud of them. We finally made it to Sherwood after me nearly offing myself in the car. We had never been to Canon beach so we decided that on Sunday we would head up there and go to the Tillimook factory on the way-because I love me some pricey cheese. We took the tour and taste tested a bunch of cheese then had some of there lovely ice cream(even though no one is as good as Farr's I am just gonna put that out there).

After we left the factory we headed over the hill to Canon beach it is the beach that they filmed Goonies at and the rocks in the water are amazingly beautiful-but it was FREEZING cold the kids flew kites and looked in the tide pools and JBJ,Pacey, and McKay found a couple of hermit crabs that I actually held and it was disgusting. Kaden and his friend decided to hop in the water and die of hypothermia and I took pictures of their stupidity! Tenley I think had the best time though she sat wrapped in two blankets on my lap the whole time it was a party.

We found out that their mall had a Lego store and an H&M so we made a trip to the mall so Pacey could pray to his Lego God-he had a great time.

The day before we left we had to go into crazy Portland we had grand plans but once again it was freezing so we cut the party a little bit and just went to VooDoo doughnuts and try a couple of their infamous doughnuts, Pacey got the VooDoo which was a robot with a pretzel in the heart and raspberry filling in the center we also had to get the maple with the bacon on top-I thought it was disgusting but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. After we got our doughnuts we headed to a place that was on Diners Drive Ins and Dives and had the best sliders I have ever eaten.

We were all a little sad to go I miss my sister so much all the time but it is fun to be able to go up to Oregon and take in all of its amazing beauty!
