4th of July fun!

This year for the 4th of July we went up Nephi Canyon and camped at Big Mountain, aka KOA! Seriously we had a BLAST! The kids including my biggest kid, Chandler ;) swam a bunch and we ate lots, played baseball with the entire family (sad I didn't get any pics of this), and just relaxed and had a good time! Our trailer worked out great for us and we're wanting to go up there again this summer! We always have so dang much fun when we are with family, they are truely the BEST! This will have to become a tradition for sure!

Relay For Life 2011

This was our 2nd year doing Relay For Life and it was tons of fun yet again! This year our team name was TEAM UFC (Ultimately Fighting Cancer)! Our team was so big we had to devide it into two different teams. Rachel and Jason were our team captains and did an awesome job!
I didn't get a whole lot of pictures cause I was a little worn out...being pregnant, staying up all night and walking really kicked my butt! I wouldn't have missed it for the world though, but I have to be honest, I didn't walk as much as I would have liked to. I love walking and remembering my grandma Steiner...I miss her dearly. She was one amazing lady!

Our family has been effected lots with cancer so on the first lap they had our team go first, it was pretty neat and special! We had a fabulous night and cant wait till next year!

Chandler won this stocking hat and looks like such a goof in it! He also won a really nice tiller...our luck was actually good for once!

The luminary bag I made in rememberance of Grandma Steiner...

The reason for the camera's on the bag are because Grandma Steiner ALWAYS had her camera and was taking tons of pictures. We even burried grandma with her camera...she really was a "Pathological Picture Taker!" What I miss most about Grandma Steiner is sitting on her lap, watching Funniest Home Videos and admiring her pretty finger nails...I always wanted my nails to look like grandmas! Miss and love you tons grandma, xoxo ;)

Kudos to Chandler, Jen and Rachel! They walked tons and stayed up ALLLLL night long! WAHOO TEAM UFC! :)

Father's Day!

We had such a great Father's Day this year! Chandler is one amazing dad and the kids think the world of him! Their favorite thing to do with Chandler is wrestle on the tramp...they think that's the BEST thing ever! He is such a fun dad and we love him to pieces! I myself am the biggest daddies girl EVER! I dont know what I would do without my dad, he's the greatest guy I know! I'm sad I dont have a recent picture of me with my dad but the old one will have to do! :)
Ps I know I should really try and keep up on the ol' bloggin stuff cause it's boring to read after it's been so long...sorry :( I will do better, maybe ;)

Oh the things they say!

"In McKall's words"

6/10
*I asked McKall why she was going to the bathroom in the dark. She said, "cause I'm saving energy!" Ummm ok!
*"Mom can you buy me some pixie dust so I can fly with
tinkerbell and the other fairies to the mainland!" Sure if I can come too!
*"Mom dont you think it's a good idea if we put my room in yours?" Pretty sure it wont fit!
*"I'm worried about Grandma Lori, she's getting old and I
dont want her to!" Your not old mom, just wise!
*"I drank milk from a box at school lunch today!"
*I told McKall if she would eat all her lunch she could have a
cupcake. She said in her sassy tone, "mom the cupcakes aren't that good!" Ok I'll eat it then!
*My mom was playing hide-n-seek with the kids and said to McKall, how did you find us? McKall said, "cause I used my brain and I have eyes in the back of my head." Ha ha silly girl only moms have eyes in the back of their heads!
*We were looking at my ultrasound pictures of when I was pregnant with McKall. I was showing her and telling her that it was her in my belly. She looked at me funny and said, "Mom why did you eat me?!?!?" We laughed and laughed!
*I told McKall it was time to do her hair and she said, "I dont want to." I asked her why not and she said, "it's just my attitude today!" Yep she has a little attitude!
*This girl LOVES cereal...must be my girl for sure! Both kids love to eat honey bunches of oats. McKall calls them "honey-a-boats"...it's cute, I love to hear her say, "mom I wanna eat honey-a-boats!!!"

*McKall woke up this morning with a sleepy arm. I told her it will go away soon. She said, "I know how to make it better, I'll eat my breakfast and it will go straight to my arm. Then my arm will say, FOOD and wake up!"
*Chandler gave McKall a father's blessing. He explained to her what a father's blessing was before he gave her one. Not too long after the blessing she said to him, "dad I need another father's blessing, I have a headache." HA HA! At least she gets the concept of it!
*We were eating Sunday dinner and Chandler was saying how it was good and it hit the spot. McKall said, "ya if mom wasnt here we would starve to death." She's too dang CUTE!

*She was sick and tired of being sick and tired! She said to
Chandler, "If you wouldn't have got me in this mess, I wouldn't be in this mess!" Chandler said, "what do you mean?" She said, "you got me sick and got me in this mess!" LOL!

*I was taking her to dancing and asked her if she needed me to go in with her to get her tap shoes on. Her reply, "no mom I have everything under control!" She is getting too old!

5/11
*I just got done doing McKall's hair and asked her to get her pink shoes with diamonds on, she said, "mom your just trying to make me beautiful!" I told her we dont have to try to make her beautiful, that she already was! She said, "when I'm beautiful the boys just want to sit by me and not the girls!" Oh dear!!!!

6/11
*McKall told Chandler one night the pourch light was on and there were moths and bugs flying all around. "Dad did you know that those moths are nocturtle?!"(nocturnal) "There are lots of bugs and animals that are nocturtle, and that means they only come out at night!" HA HA she is too smart for her own good!

"In Wyatt's words"
