Snip, Snip....

You gotta love Cookie Cutters for kid haircuts. Dane loves the video games and movies you can play while you get a trim. And it is way cool to be able to sit in a car or motorcycle instead of a plain old chair. Getting a haircut is not a new thing for Dane but this time it was Ian's turn and he did really well holding still. We did have Baby Einstein on and he was eating a sucker.
Mullett!
Mullett, no more!
Couldn't leave Dane out. Scary face!
Clean cut.

Good thing he didn't see the brothers after him that were getting mohawks. I don't think I am ready for that yet.

Two by Two the Fun Begins.....

Angie's Baby Shower!

We had a great time celebrating Angie and her Babies with a Noah's Arc theme party.

My mom's friend, Colleen, made animal cupcakes in two's. They were the cutest things ever! And tasted great, too.

I made balloon animals in two's for the centerpieces. They were fun to make and pretty easy. Animals not shown: pig, panda, and chicken. I took the pictures after the party and the sprinklers had come on and kind of ruined the other ones.

Angie got quite the loot for the babes. We can't wait to meet Jack and ?????

We Love You Angie!

Sun, Sand, and Fun! Oh My!

Our family trip to Bonaire was great. The cousins had so much fun together. Dane was just in heaven with so many buddies to hang with and Ian loves all the attention he gets from everyone. Dustin and I would have gone insane if it wasn't for all the help we had with the boys. These are only a sampling of the pictures I took. I still need to get copies of everyone's elses. Unfortunatly we didn't have the best wind for sailing. We were able to sail the first two days of the trip and then it hardly blew the rest of the time. Saturday morning when we are packing up to go home the wind was howling so Bob, Carol and myself hit the beach for a couple of hours and had the best sailing of the trip. Thanks to my lovely husband who did all the packing and for Auntie Megs for watching the boys while Dustin did some kiteboarding. With the wind so low it was the perfect opportunity to let the little kids practice their skills with a sail. They all had a great time. Dane loved it and did really well for being the youngest kiddo out there. I will post a video if I can figure it out. One of the trip highlights was when our friend Kenneth (who works at the windsurf beach) took us to a really cool cave. Jackson and Dane founds some old bones from a dead goat and were conviced they were from a little kid. Nobody told them otherwise since we figured we could use it as a threat to leave them there if they were naughty. There were tons of hermit crabs too that the kids liked. They founds some pretty bigs one's too. After the cave Kenneth took us to this really neat swimming hole where the waves crash into it. The water was so clear and there were tons of little seashells all over it. It was fun to stand at the edge of the pool and wait for a big wave to crash over you. Well, I am sure to be boring you know so enjoy the pics. It is nice to be home again especially since if finally feels like summer here.

We Made It!

After a grueling one week of training :) Myself and 3 friends rode 62 miles (a metric century) in the Little Red Riding Hood Race for the Cure. Participating in an athletic event is something I have always wanted to do but never had the guts. I always came up with many excuses why I couldn't race. Nancy, Sherry and Crickett didn't even give me a chance to find an excuse. Before I knew it I was signed up to spend half of a Saturday riding through beautiful farm country in Wellsville, UT. I am so glad I did this ride. We three amigos had a great time. We called ourselves Team Chatterbox because we didn't stop talking the whole time. We just took it easy and enjoyed ourselves.Above: Sherry (L) and Nancy. Me below at lunch. Check out the lady in the background scratching her butt!

Us at the finish line. My Aunt Lori and cousin Allison came to cheer me on at the finish line. Allison lives in nearby Smithfield. It was a total surprise. I loved it! I am so bummed I didn't get a picture taken with them. Thanks for the support Ladies!
Celebrating with our sparkling apple cider.
The after party at Nancy's gorgeous home. We sat in her sauna, swam in the pool, lounged in the hot tub and ate delicious food. What a great day. Anyone want to go for a ride?
