Rachel's Party! WOO HOO

Rachel's birthday party was a HIT! She wanted an Alvin and the Chipmunks party.... and that's what she got! SUPER FUN! As each girl arrived they chose which "chipmunk" they wanted to be and Kevin and I made t-shirts for them to wear! Kev designed and did the iron on while I painted their fingernails in the cooresponding color.... red, blue or green! The t-shirts turned out sooo cute! (great job babe!) The back said "Rachel's Chipmunk Party 2008"

Here are the cute kiddos... Olivia and Avery had gone before we got this picture... darn... but you get the idea of the cute little rascals!

The girls modeling their colorful nails!

They loved the fishing game...

Thanks for helping me set it up Tate!! (I put the tape on the fish and he stuck them in place!)

The cake turned out darling and was yummy!

Such DARLING friends!!

A Day Out With Thomas!

Memorial Day weekend was a blast! I thought I would post some pictures of the fun! On Friday I took Rachel and Tate to Heber to see THOMAS THE TRAIN! Kevin was at work and Mitchell at school so it was just the three of us. We had a blast! The kids could hardly sleep the night before. We drove up and went for a ride on the train and did ALL of the activities at the Thomas carnival. We actually did everything about TWICE! It was very cute! Then we had lunch in Heber before driving home. What a fun day!

WE LOVE THOMAS!

On Saturday we packed up and headed for St. George. Aaron and Michelle and the kids went too. When we pulled in the driveway the kids all ran to the pool room and threw on the extra suits that Grandma has there... and were in the pool in about 3 minutes flat!! They couldn't even wait for us to get their bags from on top of the car. We thought that was pretty funny! My Mom and Dad's house is always SO much fun! We are grateful for our Southern Utah getaway! We play... hike... go on bike rides..... have mini golf tournaments..... shop....(well the girls always sneak away and hit the stores) relax by the fire pit..... eat good food... and of course SWIM SWIM SWIM!
Below is a slide show of the fun weekend activities!
PS... that is a hummingbird nest in the wind chime on the back porch.... YES, Kev really is vacuuming the putting green.... and NO that is not a real knife that Tate's chopping the cactus plants with! :) Enjoy the slides.....

Ok, I know I have about a thousand pictures on this post but I had to include this clip of Tate going down the slide. He is so stinkin' cute!
