San Diego

Aaron's brother Tim and his girlfriend Eryn moved out to San Diego a little while ago and we couldn't be more excited (we do miss you)!!! They were very nice and let us come for a visit and we had a ton of fun!!!

Uncle Timmy spoiled the girls and got them hot chocolate to walk around by the beach!!
Patsy walking around La Jolla like this! We only got a couple of stares and one yell from a car!!

We found sea lion cove!!!!!

Here is Monroe after she got swept away by a wave!! I tried to get a picture of her falling in but I was laughing too hard!! The water was so cold!!! But she didn't care she loves the ocean!!!

Sea World

I think that Aaron was way more excited than the girls when we saw Shamu!!! Let's just say everyone was staring at us!!!

Patsy went on her first roller coaster ride and she said that it was really scary and went really fast!!!

A very successful Sea World trip 

Professional Bird Catchers

The other day the girls were outside trying to call birds in so we had to take some pics!!

They had rocks set up all over with bananas sitting on top of them

Here is Monroe mixing up some kind of concoction for the birds.

And here is Patsy with a stick with some cheese on top trying to call the birds in!!! (I think that we have a couple of weirdies)

Sheyla's Shower

This last weekend we had Sheyla's bridal shower and had a ton of fun!!!! My mom helped me put it all together and we had a lot of fun figuring out some fun games. The highlight of the games was the "honeymoon panties" we separated everyone into teams and handed them a pair of white panties and some permanent markers and let them get creative!!! They came up with some really funny things!!!

Sharlie + Scissors = DANGER

Here are the little girls being big helpers with all of the presents!!!

Overall everyone had a good time and a lot of good laughs!! It was really nice to meet Luke's sister and two grandmothers who were ALOT of fun!!! Now the wedding is in less than two weeks!!!!

Crazy Girls

The other day at Patsy's preschool they had a park day and Patsy collected a few rocks and pine cones. When we got home she asked Aaron to bring her little table outside and she taped a sign to it. We asked her what she was doing and she said that she was selling her rocks and pinecones!! She did get one customer our neighbor Charlie from across the street and he asked if they were expensive and she said "not today they are on sale"!! She stayed out there for about fifteen minutes yelling "get your rocks and pinecones"

Tonight we asked Monroe to load up the mini fridge with water bottles. She came in and said its all done and I did a really good job!!!

Utah Trip

Last Wednesday we headed up to Utah with all of Aaron's family and had a really good time!! The girls love road trips and were so excited!! We went through Payson and picked up Filip so he could come and hang out and experience good ol Utah. And as Aaron says see some Utards!!

Here are all the girl cousins getting warm by the fire. They all had so much fun having a four night sleep over together!!



Monroe playing in the snow.

Trying to make frosty the snowman.

Here are all the kids helping to make a snowman.

And of course you can't go out in the snow without having a massive snowball fight!! Aaron made three kids cry!! So everyone gained up on him and by the time it was over he was soaked :)

On Friday we went Snowboarding at Brian Head with Filip, Brett, and Kyle and Mandy and had a really good time!! It was Aaron's first time going and he caught on pretty fast and had a good time. It was my second time going and I was still on my butt most of the time :)

Filip put us all to shame!!!

On Saturday we went to Zions National Park. It was so pretty there and made you really thankful for all the beauty around us!!

Aaron dressed Monroe this day and put her in Patsy's pants and when she was walking in front of us we got to laughing so hard because she looked just like her papa Charlie!!

This was a great time of the year to come because there were so many waterfalls coming off the mountains!!

Aaron and Filip acting crazy! They took a bunch of "Rotary Club pictures" but I spared all of you and only posted one!!

Filip and Patsy!!

New Years

This year for New Years eve we went out to the Flake's ranch out on Ironwood.

Here is the big fire that I am sure you could see for miles away!!

Here we are hanging out by the fire and enjoying all the good company.


The girls being silly.

Here is Aaron and Spencer roping the dummy.

And here is little Monroe enjoying some potatoe soup that my mom made. And Reed made some really good mini weenies wrapped in bacon that were to die for :) -For Amy!!

I think that the potatoe soup gave Aaron some gas or something........
