A new tradition...

Moab, 3 years running, now a tradition. We went camping this weekend and rafted down the Moab Daily. Fun fun. The kids didn't love the rafting cause they got drenched... but they loved the dirt and eating a lot of junk food. Chloe was just so excited to play with her bestest friend ever, Emma. Tate just rode a bike that Nikki brought and played in the dirt. I had horrible allergies the first night and my eye was swolen, so that was good fun. Tate had some breathing problems so Anthony drove down to the hospital and slept in the car in the parking lot until it cleared up so he knew he wouldn't have to take him to the ER. It was fun, but man camping is so much work! Not to complain, I am just complaining... It was worth it though, really. I am not just saying that. It is just fun to see the kids have fun together and go crazy.



rafting away. We got our new raft and this was the first time using it. Daryl found us a killer campsite that we could put in from.. sweet, much better than last years site.

San Rafael Swell

Tater didn't like the cliffs too much.

Guess what he's gonna be when he grows up?

Guess who's got a camera in their eye?

Hawaii... nice coconuts.

He'z crazy.

We drove up to Tibble Fork tonight an I planned on taking some photos of Tate. I think I just need to take a break from taking photos of him, he is at such a crazy stage!!! Love him anyway.
He did get a hair cut today though, he looks SO much better, although they did butcher his hair! It was so long.

Orchard

I took Chloe out to the orchard tonight... Anthony and Tate are out on a river trip. Isn't she just cute? I think so. Well she lasted for 10 minutes, but that was enough.

Cali Vacation!

We had such a blast, we went swimming a ton in this fab posh pool at the hotel we stayed at. We went to the beach a lot too. I miss Cali so much. Here are some pictures from the trip!

It's business time...

So freaking funny! Anthony and I love this song.

they pretty much rock,,, when they aren't crying.

Chloe & Daddy

my new favorite song...

a girl from the show Taking The Stage from MTV

This is the kind of music I would write and sing if I were a singer song writer, I used to play the guitar and sing and I really wanted to write songs but I figured out I sucked at writing pretty fast.

Taters

So here is my Tate...
I hardly take pictures of him lately because he is seriously SO crazy. I can't believe he actually sat for 2 minutes. I think it had something to do with the candy involved. These were just taken in our backyard, no biggie but I love how it shows his personality. He is so sweet, crazy, and loud all in one. I love this little guy. He is going to be our little soccer star, that is all he does all day. Tonight we just threw a ball at his head for about an hour and we were all dying laughing because he loved it. He loves going to the REAL games with us and it is the only time he ever sits still. He chants,, Go REAL Go REAL. Love my Tate.

so big

My kids are getting too big. Chloe is so huge for her age. I feel like she isn't even a toddler anymore! Tate is a couple pounds less so I still feel like he is my little one. It is crazy how fast they grow and how much they eat! Costco loves us. Chloe has been super obsessed with dogs lately and she now talks to herself and plays school.
Tate is our little counter and knows his numbers pretty good from watching elmo. thanks elmo, we owe you.
They fight constantly but miss each other so much when the other is absent. I can't believe they are mine sometimes. so cute, so naughty, so crazy and so fun. love you guys!

Ode to the remote

Chloe just found the remote and said, "Hi remote, I love you".

I must be nuts.

So, I am taking over the lease tomorrow on my studio so that means everything is leaving and I have to purchase all new stuff. Sounds fun right, no it's way stressful. But anyways, I bought this victorian couch and I am recovering it. Shelley help me put this together and we are doing a mismatch flower patch crazy couch. I love it, but I hope it turns out how we envisioned. It's a camel back look but I couldn't recreate it too well in photoshop. what do you think? I will take a real photo of it when it's all done!

snow is so overrated...

I am a 70 degrees or nothing girl, so done with the snow already... anyone else? Can't wait for Hawaii, it's feeling more real now! Here is Chloe when we went sledding up AF canyon, she went down twice (unwillingly) and then cried the rest of the time. She just wanted to eat all the snacks I brought and watch Tate have fun instead. What a weirdo...

a lot a bit of funny...

this is Tate saying a prayer, don't need to say much else, he is a crazy loon that's why I love him.

HAppy NeW yEar to YoU!

To all of our friends and family and random people, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Here are some photos of Tate and Chloe just hanging out like ususal, after they have taken off all their clothes, their favorite! I love these bumpkinds. This year has been one of the best. I feel SO lucky to be doing what I am doing and to have Anthony pursuing his dream career is even better...

Tate has Anthony's blanket from when he was a baby and it's so cute how much he loves it. HE won't go to bed without it. As you can see they are on the counter with a plethora of toys, their new thing is to fill up bags and baskets full of toys and carry them around the house, then they always walk toward the door and say, "bye mom, I love you!" I know too cute, I can't handle it sometimes. Sorry there are lots of photos, I couldn't narrow it down and since this is my scrapbook/Journal I have to!
