Sorry!!

I know I know!! I am really bad at this. I feel like my days run away from me and I can't get little things done like my blogging!! But when my sister in law wants to know what my baby looks like I start feeling bad! :) So here you go. I just put a bunch of posts together of our summer and this fall. Enjoy, until next year!! LOL!!

Bishop's Pumpkin Farm

We did our annual trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm in CA. We always have a great time. Chad's parents ended up joining us. The girls loved the animals, especially Lauren!! To this day she still talks about the goat that she loves! She says that she is the mom and she needs to go take care of her "baby"!! Funny!!! I always look forward to their walnut pie!! It's like a pecan pie but with walnuts. I love it!!

Big Springs Garden

Mom and Dad went on a double date with Chad and I to Big Springs Garden. It was so pretty there!! We had lunch and then did a little hike in the hills. The weather was great and very enjoyable. Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Lauren's first day of preschool

Lauren was so excited to start preschool!! She wanted to be a big girl too. This is her teacher Mrs. Fowler, we love her!!! She does such a great job!! It's fun to see the crafts that they make and hear about the things that she is learning.

Lauren turns three!!

Lauren had a fun birthday party at Ballocity at Coconut Bowl. She has a lot of friends come and play. This picture of Lauren, she loves to pose for the camera. I think that it's so funny!! I can't believe that she is getting so big!!

AUBREY'S FIRST DAY OF SECOND GRADE!!

Our "Wicked" trip

I took my Mom and Aubrey to San Francisco to go see the play Wicked. All in all we had a great time! We took a cab from our hotel to the theater which was a mile or so away. I asked the cab driver if we have to call or reserve a cab for the ride home. He said no there should be a lot of cabs here waiting so it shouldn't be a problem. Well long story short we couldn't get a cab. We ended up walking back to the hotel which we were a little nervous because it's not in a nice area. We just kept walking fast and looked busy. All of a sudden we walk into a big group of goth looking people. It ended up being a Marilyn Manson concert that just got out. I just laughed and said,"Figures!!" Anyway, we finally got to our hotel around midnight and I had to take a picture because we were so tired and we all were wearing high heels! :) Love it!!

Camping at Meeks Bay

We went camping at Meeks Bay at Lake Tahoe. It is amazing at how blue that water really is!! It water gets choppy fast so it was hard to wakeboard. We had to do it early in the morning. Anyway, we had a great time!

We went camping a lot. Here's some random pictures.

Portland Temple

We got the chance to visit the Portland Temple. The kids loved the little "pool". We had to make sure that Lauren didn't get in the water, that would have been crazy!! We really enjoyed our trip to visit the Smiths. They are such great friends!!! We love them!!

Multnomah Falls

When we visited the Smiths they took us on a hike to Multnomah Falls. It was very beautiful but was a tough hike with three stollers!! I wish that we took a picture of our group. We had four adults, three kids walking, and three strollers which one of them was a double stroller. I don't remember how long the hike was but the kids did great. We went all the way to the top. Man, if I did that hike once/ twice a week I'd be super skinny!! :)

At Canon Beach in Oregon

We stopped for some ice cream and to hang out at the park.

Haystack Rock at Canon Beach in Oregon

The beach was really fun to go to. I liked the fact that the sand was silky but hard but it was easy to walk on it. I thought that the weather was perfect, we have a great time!! It was a lot of fun hanging out with the Smiths!!

Aubrey takes great care of Lauren!!

The Girls Playing at the Fountains

Chad's Talent

My handsome husband decided to flip off one of the cliff at Frenchmens Lake. He's such a kid at heart! I love him!!

Hailey Belle is three months

My baby is getting too big too fast!!! She's three months in these pictures! She loves playing in her jumperoo. She is the first baby to suck her thumb. She's very easy going and loves to be held. AND she sleeps through the night!!!! My other girls didn't for a long time.

Jackson Meadows

We had a chance to go camping at Jackson Meadows with some great friends. The weather was a little cool and it rained a bit but we had a great time. Doesn't Hailey look funny with her lifejacket on?! She was a good sport about it though. I tried a new recipe which was dutch oven ribs; they were awesome!!!! They were so soft! We brought the boat with us to wake boarded and knee boarded. It was pretty cold but it was great.

My little family loves making faces in pictures!

Sorry this is sideways, I wasn't thinking!! :)

Driving to San Diego

On our way to San Diego, I wanted to stop and let the girls run around. So I thought that it would be fun to walk down one of the orchards and check out the trees. While we were looking at the trees ( we think they were plumb trees) Lauren started screaming!! She had tons of red ants crawling up her legs biting her. She had about twenty bites and we got bit a couple of times while trying to take off her clothes and get rid of the ants. They were really mean!! After we got back to the car, I said that we had to stand by one of the trees and take a picture. We had to document our trip! I know I'm mean, but we checked for ants first. :)
