Bear Lake

Since my Senior year me and these lovely ladies go on a girls trip every year. This year makes year 12.

OOh how lucky I am to have such amazing friends. Cone of Safety Ladies:)

Parker

On July 3rd Parker broke his leg while we were here in Utah. He jumped off a window ledge and got bumped while he was in the air. He landed wrong and broke his tibia(big bone in lower leg). It was horrible, we thought the summer was ruined.

He was in a lot of pain and had to be carried everywhere at first.

After a couple days he wasn't hurting as bad, and we found creative ways he could still play with all his cousins.

He loved all the attention he got.

After he got the hard cast Grandma Debbie nicknamed him "Scooter" because he became mobile. He could get anywhere he wanted to go by scooting all over the floor.

Now after 2 weeks of being in the cast he taught himself to walk.

Parker's cast doesn't even phase him, he can still do all the things his cousins can do, and he has a cast from his foot all the way up to his thigh.

Vegas

Anthony and I are vacationing in Las Vegas. We have been relaxing, we let the maid make our bed, and clean up after us. We haven't made one meal or dealt with one tantrum in 3 days. We haven't been this lazy in years. We have however:
Visited the Pawn Shop where Anthony's favorite show Pawn Stars is filmed:

Got to visit Heavenly Bliss, the chapel in Vegas where my brother and his wife eloped 2 years ago. J, Alex does this look familiar? :)

We saw Phantom of the Opera:

Testing out my dream Harley:

Thanks to mine and Anthony's parents for watching our kids and making this trip possible. We love you.

Mount Rushmore

I have heard many times that the faces on Mt Rushmore are too far away to see. You probably can't tell from our pictures but we Moellers think it was totally worth the drive.

Our favorite part was the lighting ceremony. They gave a tribute to the Presidents honored on the Mountain, then to all the former and current members of the military, then they lit up the mountain. It was so patriotic, we live in a great nation.

Chicago

When I think Chicago I think:
#1 Oprah
#2 cold & windy
#3 Baseball
We went on a family trip to Chicago. It was not cold or windy it was beautiful and full of things to see. Our favorite part of Chicago was the amazing beaches.

Ducks

Every spring these 2 ducks show up, and the kids love it. The ducks are so entertaining, they always keep the kids busy. The kids love to feed them, and follow them around.

The other day the ducks played Hide & Seek with the kids. One minute the kids were feeding the ducks bread, the next minute the ducks were hiding in the pond. Here is a shot of the ducks in their hiding spot while the kids were looking for them.

After 20 minutes of hard searching Parker finally found them.

Katilynn's hiding spot

Every now and then Kaitlynn likes to hide under Kaitlynn's bed. When I call out her name she comes crawling out with the biggest smile on her face. She makes me smile every day, I think she is so cute.
