Baby got Busted


This picture is pretty self-explainable.

Pizza Pizza Pizza



Last night for dinner we made little pizzas! Taytum put on all the toppings by herself. We made a few extra to save for lunch today, but, this afternoon when we went to get them out of the refrigerator they were GONE! Daddy beat us to them and took them for his lunch at work!

We roughed it...

like the Pioneers for the 24th!

Just kidding, we were actually super spoiled and got to enjoy a trip to Lagoon with the whole Yardley Fam! Ryan's dad pulled his humungoo trailer up so we all had a place to crash and call home for a few days! Taytum and Lexus played "trucker-trucker", and rode in the semi the whole way to Salt Lake and back! We left Wednesday night and stayed at the house in Cedar, than drove to Farmington the next morning! The babies all traveled great and we headed straight for the water park when we got there on Thursday afternoon!

We all had our share of swimming so we ran to the trailer for some dinner, then made the long trek back to the park to hit the rides! We stayed till the park closed, then back to the trailer to hit the hay!(or the air mattress, which was surprisingly way comfy!)






The next day was filled with more water park, more rides, more food, and more fun with family! Taytum LOVED the "lady bug dropper", Fallon LOVED the cars and boats that she could steer herself, although she wasn't to sure about the zippy little whales!Last year Fallon spent most of her time in the stroller so it was fun to watch the excitement in her eyes this year as she went on alot of rides. It made me realize just how quickly my baby is growing up!It was so nice to enjoy the park with our family and not have to be anywhere or do anything at a certain time!






That night Ryan cooked dutch oven potatoes and Russell grilled steaks! After we ate we tried to walk off some dinner and went back to the park till closing again! I made a huge mistake and got on some ride that shot me half way to the moon in .000 seconds and made me scream a bunch of cus words really loudly, then it dropped me down as fast as it had shot me up and made me scream more cus words!I apologize to which ever S.I.L. was sitting by me, I can't even remember now- it was traumatizing!It started to sprinkle that night and by the time we got into bed it sounded like a torrential down pour, but we stayed nice and dry in our cozy little tent. It was actually really relaxing to lay there and fall asleep listening to the rain.
Saturday morning we all got up and helped pack the trailer, then headed to Salt Lake to the funnest hotel ever!





Fins and Grins Water Park was actually in our hotel so you know where we all went! The kids absolutely loved it and had a blast! They had slides and, kiddie friendly wadding pools, and tons of cool little water features that kept us entertained all afternoon!
That evening we went to the Days of 47' Rodeo which was right across the street at the E Center! Great Specialty Acts, but the rodeo contestants- neah! There were very few names there, more like an ameature rodeo, but the kids had fun and it enjoyable to actually sit next to Ryan and watch a rodeo and not be in it, or running wild chasing kids in the dirt! After the rodeo some of us adults (and Tater and Lex)went to a Denny's in the Ghetto for some late night breakfast. (Toots I owe you for keeping Fally)





The next morning we hit up the pool again for a couple hours then threw our bags in the trailer and headed south! The babies had so much fun that they slept almost all the way home!

It was a quick trip home and back to face reality! Ryan and I watched the thermometer from Cedar to home go from 83 degrees to 107! Oh the Lovely desert, but I wouldn't trade it for the snow!
We had a blast and are so thankful for Ryan's parents for making it possible for us all to go! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa- you're the best!

Our FAVORITE Guy...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dear Daddy,
We have sure missed seeing you today! When we woke up this morning you had already been up for hours looking for deer in Cherry Creek. We hope you found a big buck and that you can keep tracking him so you can bring us some yummy jerky! We can't wait to see you tomorrow so we can eat cake and celebrate your birthday a day late with you! We love you, Tater and Fally
