What we've been doin'....

Sorry we have been MIA in the blog world! We've been going and doing...and it doesn't help much our main computer broke while we were in New Mexico! So, for the past month or so Chris has been searching for new computers and ways to make it faster (my blog books take up so much RAM!) So finally we got a new computer and Christopher has been spending every night up till midnight trying to get all my files organized for me. He has at last given up, so I guess I just get to file them any old way! We have been trying to stretch every last second out of summer before Ben starts Kindergarten! Here is a SHORT list of what we have been up too....

So we got a call two days before we were set to leave New Mexico telling us my cousin Krista was going thru the temple. After talking about it for about a second we decided that was too big of thing to miss so we packed up our apartment in a hurry and high tailed it back to Utah! We were lucky enough not only to make it to the temple, but we also got to play with Ahma, Joy, Nini, Brinkley and Bailey! All in all a very good reason to rush out of New Mexico a day early!

K, isn't this the cutest picture! Mom you look FABULOUS!

Most of our days end with the kids looking like this in their carseat. This is heaven for a mom's eyes!
We've discovered little Ava is half fish! She loves the water and loves this little life jacket that she can just float and catch a little bit of sun in!

Kallie is such a big swimmer now and can even venture into the deep end! She is also not afraid of getting her face wet! Hooray!

We have been playing with cousins and loving it!

Andrew has discovered it is funner to get into things with a partner. Caden is always very willing to oblige....

We have been playing dress-up! We have also discovered with the help of a blow dryer and a round brush Kallie can have "Rapunzel" hair! She loves it and it makes her day when anyone tells her how pretty it is! Just be prepared for a long speech about how she gets her "Rapunzel" hair and a modeling show to go with it.

We had a Princess Pool Party for two cute girls who are turning 4 this year! Adorable Princess cupcakes (thanks Aunt Emily!), dress up, gifts, pizza, swimming, pinata, and family....what more could you ask for!

I discovered I had married a mountain man....

We helped to move this shed from the bottom of the Cabin property, up to the very top by the cabin. What a job that was! To be honest I'm still alittle surprised it made it up there all in one piece! Now it is painted green, has a new roof, new floor, and full of wood. Mama Erickson is also very happy!

Hung out with these fun gals and those cute kiddos....

Got a yummy fruit basket!

Had a fun Gillen Family Reunion and got of swim and play with cousins!

So this is as much as I've downloaded from my camera. As soon as I figure out how to download the rest I will update again!
