Montana!

We went to visit my Dad for a little spring vacation. Well my transmission went out on my newly bought Honda Pilot so I got to stay a week longer. It was alot of fun we did so much in such a short time. As you can see from the pictures we rode 4-wheelers alot, hiked up to a cave shot trap, fished, and went to Como Lake. Como Lake is the only lake I know that can be 85 degrees and still have snow on the mountains. It was absolutely relaxing and beautiful. Lots and lots of wildlife and scenery. My Dad and his wife Caronline really spoiled us and made it so easy for us to have a great time. The kids already miss them so much.

A Cinderella Birthday

On April 30th Brylee turned 3! She wanted me to make her a Cinderella cake, and it only took me 4 hours to make! But she was happy and that's all that matters. She had a great day. We had all her Grandpa's, Grandma's, Aunt's, Uncle's and Cousins over for some ice cream and cake. (I was really sad to cut into that cake). She got spoiled as usual and loves every single thing she got. Thank you to everyone who came.

Fun at the park!

We decided to get out and enjoy the warm weather we have been recieving with some trips to the park. I hope that the sun comes back soon!

Happy Easter!

In their Easter best!

Don't they look so cute! Boston is not very happy, but he looks so handsome in a tie. Brylee is adorable as always!

Princesses on Ice

Brylee got her first night out with just Mom and Dad. It was so much fun and me and Ben actually enjoyed it. Brylee loved all of the princesses and they even had Mickey, Minnie and Goofy too!

Our first swingset!

Thank you to Grandpa Pingree for giving us this for x-mas! We obviously were not able to put it up until now because of all of the snow. The kids love it they scream everytime we come in. It was a nice day yesterday so we invited some friends over to try it out. And a special thanks to Daddy and Grandpa Kel for putting it together.

my little chef

Boston loves to be with me in the kitchen which makes for intresting dinners. I usually trip over him a dozen times. He looks so cute in a pink apron!

So Logan begged me not to put this picture up. But I just couldn't resist, aren't they adorable!

Facts about Trisha

So my sister Shauna tagged me. I'm supposed to tell six things about me so here it goes.

1- I lOVE to shop. Ecpecially the clearance rack, sales, and outlet stores. I can justify buying anything if it's cheap enough. I too love to shop online to pass the time, but I hardly ever by anything. I love to get out of the house and so do my kids.

2- I am a huge outdoors girl, anything to do outside is were I will be. I love camping, fishing and even hunting. I have shot two deer in my life both 4 pointers. I like Shauna was raised in a camping trailer so to me the outdoors is home.

3- I also really enjoy cooking. I love to get and try new recipes. Food is such a great part of life. I get to stay at home Mom so I figure

4-Something some people might not know about me is when I was in High School I got pregnant. I had Logan when I was 16. It was really hard but I did it. I graduated with my class at Fremont. I am so proud to be his Mom. Logan is such a great kid, he is so smart and such a sweet boy.

5- When I get mad or have alot on my mind I clean my house. I like to think that I keep a pretty tidy home. But when I'm mad it's spotless. My reason I think I do it, is if I clean my house my mind will feel clear. If cleaning the house doesn't make me feel better I just go shopping. (that solves everything)

6-Some randoms things that I love in no specific order- my kids, chapstick, when I am tan, my Scentsy products, my new house, the beach, a shower in the morning, lotion, make-up, shopping, my family, chocolate, The Hill's, new ideas, my own bed, a good pair of jeans, planting flowers and keeping up on our yard (of which we don't have right now), vacations, alone time with my husband, and church.

Some things I hate- warm pickles, bad drivers, clutter, when my kids get hurt or sick, turkey pot pies, milk, negativity, traffic, and the end of Winter.

*I tag Holly, Laura and Cheryl.

St. George

This last weekend we went on a little road trip to St. George for my sister Dina's baseball tournament. It was alot of fun. It was nice and sunny on Saturday, and some of us even got a sunburn. This picture was at the pool at the condo we stayed at with Kel and Cheryl.

Here comes trouble!

So Boston is finally walking! It felt like he never was going to, he really just wasn't that interested. He would walk around things but just crawled from here to there. This last week he has just taken off walking everywhere like he's done it for months. Everyone is really excited even Chewy, his sis thinks it's pretty cool too. You thought he was a monster before, just look at that face!

Hide-and-go-where-is-Logan?

So on Thurs. Ben, Logan and Brylee were playing hide- and -seek. Ben kept looking for Logan and kept saying Trisha have you seen Logan I can't find him anywhere. This went on for a half hour, but finally we found him. What a great hiding spot! Who knew he could fit in Brylee's laundry basket! I found him first, Ben must have walked by him 30 times. He even sat on Bry's bed to ponder staring at him and not even knowing he was there. We all got a good laugh.

Science Fair Project

Logan's science fair projet was on sports drinks and how they affect your heart rate. He did a great job and got picked out of his class for the final judging. Good job Logan!

This last weekend we went up to our friends parent's cabin just above Strawberry Reservoir. It really was alot of fun. Besides some minor mishaps everything was great. The boys went ice fishing and sledding in the morning and we all went for a ride Sat. night. Thanks so much for inviting us Jeremy and Kadie!

Brylee Grace

It seems like just yesterday she was born. She is starting to look and act so grown up me and Ben just can't believe how the time has flown by. We are so lucky to have such great kids!

Boston's 1st sleigh ride.

With big brothers help!

So pretty!

Today Brylee got her first "official" haircut. We decided it was time for a professional (my friend Kadie) to do the job, no more of Mom's bad trim jobs. Thank goodness! Doesn't she look like a princess! So grown up.

New Year's Day

We started out the new year sleding this year. It was a blast, we went with our friends Jeremy and Kadie and their kids Jackson and Charlie. My brother Tyrel went also. Thanks to my Mom for watching Boston. We can't wait to go again!
Logan gets some serious air!
