We had SOOO much fun with the Phillips'. We LOVED that they stayed for awhile and had so much fun the whole time--so much fun that I forgot to take pictures!!!!! We had Reag's party, and we shopped LOTS, the boys went fishing, we ate TONS, played LOTS of games and laughed uncontrollably--pretty much an awesome time! :) Come again soon!!!!!
LOVE my sweet little girl. I can't believe that she's 6 already. A few nights before I got super teary thinking about it all going by so quickly. She acts so old and is so helpful all the time. I almost feel guilty since she helps so much and gets right on it when I ask her to do things. Happy Birthday Reag!
Wow! It seems like I just posted about Reag's 5th birthday and now here we are again! We decided to do a quick party last minute and Reag wanted to do a Barbie theme. We had family come and it was a FABULOUS time! We got the bounce house out and the kids played in it lots and jumped on the tramp, drove the truck, and blew bubbles.
We had pizza and salad and then enjoyed a yummy cupcake cake and ice cream.
One of my very best buddies and her daughter, Nellie came.
Awesome Phillips family--we LOVED that they decided to come and stay. We had a great time!!!!
After we ate we went to the pool in our neighborhood and had a blast!
My dad and Hunter!
Sweet cousin McKayla and Reag
So this slide was pretty big. Hunter is in the stage of wanting to do whatever Reagan does, so up he went. He actually loved it and kept doing it. Thankfully, he knows his limits and doesn't try things that he really can't do. I can tell him no and he says okay and does something else. Thankfully!!
See! Pretty big for a 2 year old!! Nick didn't even have to catch him!
Isn't she getting sooooo old!!!
Aren't we getting sooooo old??! :)
So the other day we went to a fair--ish. They were saying it was a fair and rodeo. We could only go the opening day so we went that afternoon and let's just say it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and the rodeo wasn't that night. :( The kids played for a minute. We met ut with friends, then we left and went to Chili's! Pretty sad that they had the most fun on the little playground! Oh well, we still had fun listening to music and visiting with friends!
Love these girls!! CPK in Las Vegas--Carmell, Betty, Me, Christene, Mary Ann & Chrissy
Some of my favorite families--The Easton's (who are going to be closer soon--woohoo!!!) and the Lichty's (who I wish were closer!)
This is at the park after the blessing. I go to check on Hunter and he is playing with these 13-14 year olds scooter. There's a skate park there and these boys are all dying at Hunter. They were telling me that he grabbed their scooter and was all about it taking it up and down the park's ramps and put on their "hat" (helmet) backwards and then couldn't see, but loved it! I'm kinda not sure who liked who better. These boys were loving watching him and were totally good with letting him play. And pretty much Hunter could've played on it all day!
It's so great when we get together because there are a TON of cousins and they all play so good together!
New parents (for the 3rd time) Drew and Loke. We miss these guys SOOO MUCH!!!!!
Cousins Ashley and Missy!
So there is a HILARIOUS story that goes with this picture, but no good for the blog. Just another reason I love and miss you!!
Cousins Cassie and Emily
Reagan and McKayla really grew up together. Reag has gone through withdrawl not being with her all the time. They had such a blast all day. COME UP SOON!!!!
Last weekend we had a fabulous time visiting friends and family. That Friday I helped do a baby shower for a work friend right after school then we hurried down to Las Vegas for a fun dinner at CPK. Thanks to Chrissy and Christene for planning it and for everyone that came. It was wonderful to see friends! I laughed when talking to a few friends that couldn't come because they were going to be out of town--to St. George!!! Really?! Too funny! It was a blast though seeing people all weekend and visiting with my AWESOME, AWESOME friends that really were family to me while we were there. I always say that was the hardest part about leaving--my friends and ward. There are so many people there that I know I will be friends with forever. Anyways! That night was great visiting and eating yummy pizza. The next day we had fun park play dates with friends and visited others as well. Reag and Hunter had a blast playing all weekend and were so sad to leave and go back home. Saturday night we had date night, which is too funny that we would get to out of town since we NEVER get to have it at home. Then Sunday, we enjoyed sleeping in and having Chris cook for us for Mother's Day. That's right, we got to mooch off Chrissy's Mother's Day breakfast. :) Thanks Chris, it was good! We did gifts then got ready to go to a baby blessing for our cousins Drew and Loke. It was SOOOO fun to see them and all of our cousins and Loke's sweet family. We didn't leave till 7ish that night because we just didn't want to leave everyone. We've definitely been missing our family and friends. Good thing the drive isn't too long!! Sadly, I didn't take hardly any pictures until the blessing. I'm sooooo sad!!! I stole this one from Chrissy's blog, but I didn't take hardly any Saturday at all visiting with friends. :( It was FABULOUS to see everyone and I appreciate all of you that took the time to schedule with us or come eat or play, etc. And to everyone else that was out of town--Staci, Holly, Sarah or had plans already--Janeen, Tara (even though I saw you Sat!)---you all need to plan a fun trip and stay and play!!! Girls Night in St. George!!!!!! Love you guys!!!!!!! Thanks to the accomodating Lichty family for letting us stay--you're house is beautiful! 
Nick and I were laying on the couch reading and listening to music one night. Hunter brought in the little dvd player and wanted to watch Cars (he LOVES this movie! Reag watched it constantly for almost 3 years, seriously!! Hunter is following the same path so far! CANNOT wait to take them to Cars 2. They will LOVE it!) so this is where he decided to sit. WHY?? He would even put his hands over his ears. Hello, move!! It was too funny!
How is this comfortable?! :) TOO CUTE!
So this just happened this morning while I was getting dressed. They both think they are soooo cool!
We had a wonderful Easter break. Reag and I had Friday and Monday off too, so it was a perfect amount of time to chill and still have fun. We went to THREE fun festivals and seriously I have NO IDEA how I didn't take a picture at any of them. Seriously, so sad! Friday after Nick got home we went to an Art Festival. The kids got to do crafts, we ate yummy food, looked at fun things, then the kids played in the water. Good times! Saturday, we decided to go to Zion. On the way there, we passed an Earth Day Festival. So we decided to stop and check it out. It was way fun too. Lots of things for the kids to do. Then we went to Zion (which happened to be free that week. we had no idea--bonus!!). Nick and I LOVE to explore and see things and just drive and find new stuff or look at houses, people, etc. So the whole day was great! After Zion, we went to the Car Festival and again ate yummy things, kids did bounce houses and we saw REALLY cool cars. The weather was perfect! The Easter Bunny came Sunday and left us surprises in our baskets. I had to teach so I didn't really get to enjoy Easter morning like I would have liked to! We also had to be to church early for a meeting. And we said the prayers in Sacrament so needless to say, it was a packed morning! After church we made a yummy dinner, some family came over, we dyed eggs and played. Fabulous day! I am so thankful for weekends like this that remind me of why I am really here and what's really important. I love my family and my Savior and I am so thankful for the Atonement and for what Christ did for me. 
Taken by Reagan...not too bad!
My sweet little girl! The older she gets, the more fun we have. She is such a sweet, sweet little spirit!! I LOVE YOU!!!
Reagan definately wears the pants in this relationship. He is so content to sit in the back and let her drive. Most of the time he only gets booted to the back when there are 3. I think he chose this time to be back there so his basket would fit. He didn't let it out of his site for days!!! He wanted "na-nee" 24/7!!!! I finally had to put them away it was getting so bad!
Notice the blue/gray hand? That's also how his belly looked! They had fun though!
Reag and cousin Keely playing on the slip and slide. 
Hunter laughing at the girls.
He really didn't know what to think about the slip and slide so he mostly just splashed in the puddles and mud. 
Hunter's FIRST haircut!! He has needed one for sooo long; he was rockin' a fro! I was scared though that if I cut it, maybe all his curls would go away. NOPE! Still curly and super cute!
Hunter and auntie. Can you tell he was over it?!
The fam on our way to an egg hunt. I was REALLY worried that Hunter wouldn't know what to do. So Nick did a mock egg hunt with them earlier in the day. So we get to the hunt and Hunter goes to the first egg, pops it open for the "na-nee" (candy) and wants Nick to open it! Nick had to bribe him to keep going. He ended up with only 3 because he just wanted to stop each time and see what was in the egg! He was as happy as can be though with his 3!
