Ladies night

Summer fest was last week and my good friends and I all got rid of our kids and hit the town:) I didn't do a very good job taking pictures of our adventures but we had a really good time laughing and being silly! We started at the new pizza place in town to try it out and it was pretty good. Then we headed over the the summer fest in search of the infamous fried twinkie. We found it but I didn't think it was that great.

We spent the evening looking at the booths then bought some kettle corn to take home to the kids.

Here is a shot of my silly friends gracefully making their way through the park:)

It sure is fun to have great people to hang out with!

Sasha

We would just like to introduce Sasha, the newest member of our family. We got her from a box in front of Wal-Mart Thursday afternoon. She is about 10 weeks old and the kids LOVE having her. I don't think that she has walked on her own since we brought her home. She "mostly" belongs to Bizzy because Bizzy used her birthday money to help buy supplies since the cat was free:)

Logan Canyon

The sunshine has finally arrived and we are so excited about it! We really do enjoy every season change and look forward to all the new fun things we get to do but I think summer is our favorite. WE LOVE CAMPING! Last weekend we headed up the canyon with our good friends the Walkers for the day and had a great time. In this first picture I am not sure what was so funny to LaRecia and I, but it just shows how much fun we have!

We roasted steak over the fire and it was YUMMY! This was our first time trying it but we will definitely be doing that again.

"Playing" in the fire pit is one of the girls favorite things to do. They burn a stick, put it out, then write with it like a pencil.

We love exploring the area and found this tree that the kids thought was cool.

We have our first big camping trip planned and can't wait to go!

My Ladybugs!

This spring my friend Nici and I coached Andrea and Bizzy's soccer team. We had a lot of fun with the girls. They worked and played really hard. Our team chose the name Ladybugs. We played 10 games and were undefeated! Good job ladybugs!! We also had amazing parent support. Nici and I look forward to coaching again next year:)

We had an end of season pizza party for the team and gave them all trophies. I am usually ready for the season to end but not this time.

After they ate, the girls played one last game of soccer as the Ladybug team.

7 years ago today

Seven years ago today Alizabeth Rose Arevalo was born. I can't imagine our family without her. She is funny and LOVES life. She likes to draw, dance, play ponies, push the tire swing, she is kind to people and she is a good friend. Those are some of the things her classmates said about her when I went to her room to celebrate her today. She is all of that and more to her family too! The day started with her opening a special gift from me to her. Her favorite animal is a frog and she LOVES to store and carry "treasures" in little boxes and bags so I made her this frog box.

Today was also the schools fun run. Our whole school runs the mile. Last year I was able to run it with Andrea but as a PTA board member, I helped sponsor the run so this year my friend Gary came and ran it with the kids. Here are Gary and Andrea before they ran. Andrea ROCKED it and ran her mile in 11 minutes! It is really fun to watch the kids work hard and finish the run.

Bizzy did GREAT. A mile is a long run for a 7 year old but she did it in a little over 10 minutes. I was so proud of both of my little girls.

After the day at school was over, Bizzy had some friends over to help her celebrate her special day. We went to the park, had and ice cream cake and opened presents.




I am so glad that my little firecracker Bizzy was sent to me and I look forward to all the amazing things that she is going to do in her life!
