Random picture catch up

Tooele is really growing on us. We have been happy here and have made friends in our ward. Through this move, I think our family has grown closer to eachother though because most of the time, all we have are eachother.

I have been blessed to fall into a group of really great friends. We play bunco once a month, have Twilight parties, yoga three times a week and between Carter and Mollies preschool groups we have it 3 times a week. So I get to see friends every single day of the week! Not to mention one of my closest friends here is right accross the street from me! Here is Carter's Joy School group.

 Carter and Mollie have become really great buddies and love to play together. They both have met really good friends through church and school and it makes me so happy to see them making new friends. Mollie has been dubbed as a bit of a bullie. She loves to hug and kiss and hold hands and most kids her age aren't down with that which sends them screaming and crying to their moms. Whoops.

 Mollie has developed quite the little mind of her own. If she doesnt want to do something there is usually nothing that can make her do it. This is how I found dad one day after multiple trys to get her socks on.

 And she of course LOVES make up and polish. She really keeps me on my toes!

And just recently she started pooping in the potty!! I can't even tell you how this simplifies my life and makes me soooo happy! She has been pee trained for quite a while but has been having #2 accidents about twice every day! I was going crazy!

I'm so proud of this little stinker!

And here are some random pictures I thought I'd throw in.

Chad's candyland cake for the Blue & Gold Banquet

 Matching pink pedicures for spring! (It snowed 6 in. the next day)

 And one extra large donut for a happy little man.

What would life be with out friends and family to bless it. Sure love my little family.

SUPER fun filled weekend

Last weekend was a blast. My parents came to Tooele to play with us for a few days and watch our kids while we went on an over night date. The kids loved havin gwamma and papa and Adam here to entertain them. Grandpa did play-dough.

 Grandma and Mollie played dress up.

 And grandpa pulled the kids on the sled in the back yard. Who knew you didnt need snow to sled?! The weather was perfect and me and Chad were ready to head off on our hot date!

 We ate at Rodizios for the first time. OH. MY. GOSH. AMAZING!! The food just kept coming and coming and i didnt even feel guilty.
Im not a huge meat person, but this meat was divine. Bacon wrapped turkey and grilled pineapple were my favs.


 Then we did some shopping and headed to our room at the Armstrong mansion in down town SLC. It was really nice!

 Somebody ALWAYS gets carried away with the bubble baths and the jetted tub. What can I say, I like bubbles....just not that much! (he may kill me for this picture!)
 We watched Cinderella Man to fall asleep to and enjoyed a wonderful nights sleep and got to sleep in! The breakfast was really good too.

We returned home to find all well and our kids happy as ever. Carter even told us that we could leave again if we wanted to. It was tempting! ;)

That evening my brother Justin and wife Carrie with their 3 kids came in to town too. We babysat their kids while they had a night out. Even later, my younger brother Jordan decided he was bored and wanted to come too. It was a FULL house but I loved it!

The next day Adam had to go do some missoinary shopping so we decided to take off and have some fun with cousins!

We went to Hoggle Zoo and out to lunch. Mollie loved it all, but Carter was very timid.

 Love this picture of my little monkey.

 Me and my brother have pictures similar to these next few when we went to Hoggle Zoo and we were about the same ages.

 This is the best I could do at getting a picture of them.

 Mollie LOVED the monkeys. She talked about them all day. I think she could have stayed in the money exhibit all day and been happy. (same with her dad)

 Loved having everyone here even though it was a bit scrunched. Im so blessed to have an incredible family that loves to get together even when they have to drive clear out in the tooeles to see us! I hope it is always like that. Thanks for the fun weekend fam! Love you!
