Moab 2011

When Kenzley is ready for bed she is ready for bed. She grabs her blankie and Minnie Mouse and heads for her bed.

Now for Moab. Dallas and I have been really excited for this trip. Very rarely do we get to take a trip without kids so we decided it was time and Moab is a little much for the little kiddos. With us being out on the trail for 6 to 8 hours at a time and being in that hot sun it's too hard on them so we went without them. Thankfully my mother n law came down to our house to watch the kids. I was pretty worried about Kenzley because she has only been watched maybe twice over night and they were many many months ago. She also is pretty attached to me and Dallas. Since I haven't had to work at all since she has been born she is not use to babysitters and since Dallas works at home she is also use to having him home all the time. She was not ready for us to leave her. As soon as grandma got here she knew something was going on and started to cry I felt so bad leaving her and of course worried about her pretty much the whole time but it was nice to know she was in good hands. Cohen of course was stoked for me and Daddy's long date and to have Grammy sleep over he was all for it! We left Thursday afternoon got down there set up camp and then went to the Rally where all of the rzrs were. Our friend Jared is in charge of it so we went to check everything out. Friday we went to do Cliffhanger but there was a group of 26 razors and then another group of jeeps so we ended up going and messing around on Hells Revenge. Then we went to dinner and our night ride was on still bender. Saturday we did Behind the Rocks and that night we played on Fins and Things. Sunday we decided to do hiking and we went up to where the Arches were and hiked around there. We were all pretty tired and ready to come home after that.

Dallas trying to do Devils Hot Tub. I was so so scared when he was trying to do it. It did not look like any fun to me. He got pretty close but didn't make it since it was wet in the bottom and that doesn't help.


Next we went to Mickey's hot tub. Dallas did that one easy but of course I got out!. I would so much rather be the videographer than passenger on some of these obstacles. After that his friend Jeremy and his family did it and they flipped back. Their son was such a champ they were hanging upside down and he got a little scared and just wanted out but he never once cried or anything. Once we got him out he just said oh no what did daddy do. He is such a cutie. It sure made both me and Dallas miss our kids. Here are Max and his mom right after the roll. Max had splashes of mud on his face and it was too cute to see. I was so impressed with Haley because I would have been freaking out if that was me rolling. She definitely gets wife of the year award.



Dallas loving little Max. I think Dallas loved the cuddles he got out of it!

Haley giving Jeremy the what were you thinking look!
Travis sporting his lighted whip. Dallas ordered one for us but we got it right after we had left for Moab so we werent able to bring it. They are pretty sweet though.
Me and Katie sitting up on a rock watching all the action.
It was so cool because everyone in our group had their side by sides street legal so we could pretty much drive them everywhere we went. We sure got alot of looks and people stopping to talk to us about them.

The boys helping eachother hike around. Look at that team work. Well except Dallas.
This is Picture Frame on the trail Behind the Rocks.



We lost most of our party on the trail Behind the Rocks so we tried High Dive for awhile and finally Dallas made it. Of course I was getting pretty nervous watching this cause he was trying so many different ways and it just looked scary. But he did it I was pretty impressed.

This is Potato salad you can't see though since it's dark.
This is the day that we went hiking at the arches.

What a fun trip. It is always fun to see all of Gods amazing creations and Moab definitely is a beautiful place. We had alot of fun messing around in the razors and with our friends. But I definitely was excited to come home to my little kids with their slobbery kisses and bear hugs. I missed that the most. And I loved walking in and having them excited to see us. I don't think I will be able to do a 7 day cruise like I have been begging for because this was only 3 days gone and I missed them like crazy. Thanks to Jaymie for watching our kiddos it's not an easy task and thanks to all of our friends we had a blast!

Zoo, Supercross and much more fun!

KKenzley is such a funny little girl. She is always climbing up on our chairs around our table, well one day I looked back to see her sitting in the middle of the table drinking a drink. She cracks me up, I think she looks so stinking cute.

The next few pictures we all went to the zoo me dal and the kids and my mom and dal's little sister Ashley. I was all excited because the weather had been pretty gloomy and one day was suppose to be sunny and 65 so I decided we should go to the zoo to enjoy the good weather. Well it was sunny and warm down in Springville but not up at the zoo. At the zoo it was overcast, windy and cold. Sadly I had me and Kenz in capris so I froze. I was so bummed that the weather turned out to be cold but we still had alot of fun and I love having Dallas come and enjoy these fun times with me and the kids let alone it makes it easier to have his help! Kenzley loved the zoo this is the first time that she has gone that she probably knew what was going on. Everytime she saw an animal pick something up off the floor and eat it she would say kaka. The kids had alot of fun.



















The Saturday we went to Supercross. Dallas wasn't thrilled about going because every year is so cold but I really wanted to go and so did Cohen. He was super excited and he does so good when we are there. While we were driving there he kept asking where all the dirtbikes were. Cohen is also a huge James Stewart fan Josh likes Chad Reed and is always trying to convince Cohen to like Chad Reed and now before Josh can even say anything Cohen immediately says James Stewart. He is so funny! It was pretty cold but now as bad as last year. Sadly James Stewart wrecked so that lost the championship and Dallas was pretty bummed about it.






The next week Katie my friend was nice to invite me and the kids to go to the tulip festival with her and her sisters and mom. It definitely made me realize how much fun it would have been to have a sister growing up and to always have that best friend. Hopefully I can talk Dallas into having more kids so my kids can have that! We had alot of fun. The weather was really nice and the gardens were beautiful. Usually when I go I don't know where to go so it was nice to go with them because they went to all the places I hadn't been and it was amazing. I loved the secret garden part it reminded me of the book/movie. I loved that movie when I was a little girl.














A few years ago we ripped out some plants right in front of our house and Dallas had this vision to do these pavors there. They looked really nice but over the years it had sunk down so he has been wanting to rip them all out and do it again. I have not been excited for that project and didn't really want much to do of it. So luckily I wasn't around when he started it. He ripped them all out and decided he wanted to learn how to do concrete. Jaris his good friend knew how to do it and he came down to help and teach him. These boys crack me up, Dallas always has to have some kind of project going. So I had to get a picture of him, Jaris and Jono working on it.
Dallas is definitely a little boy at heart and will forever be. He bought him and Cohen these little racing trucks and they take them out every day. Cohen has actually became really good at it I was quite surprised. They take them to our neighbors backyard and jump down over rocks and such. Boys will be boys!
