Lake Powell 2013

 Devan's parents have a time share on a house boat in Lake Powell. So every other year we get to go to Lake Powell and stay on the house boat for a whole week with all of Devan's side of the family and some friends. Last time we went Titan was only two so he didn't love it as much as he did this time. He was in heaven playing all day in the sand and water with his best friends! He actually took naps every day he was there because they would play so much, naps usually never happen with him! Laikynn did alright, the first few days she wasn't loving it. She HATED her life jacket and would scream whenever it was on. Then the heat and being tired and off her schedule didn't help much either. Once we got to day three and she started getting used to everything she did much better!

Seriously?? How did I get so lucky??? These two are the cutest!!




Titan is turning into quite the big brother. Now that Laikynn is old enough to play he absolutely loves it! They play together all day long!



Titan and his best friends; Taya and Aspen. 





So fun...


 Then all three of them fell asleep while still riding the tube! Funniest thing I have ever seen!




Laikynn didn't know what to think!






No stroller, so we improvised. 


























I loved spending so much time with loved ones! It was such a great trip!!

Laikynn got her few modeling gig a few months ago with Persnickety Clothing. They finally released their Fall Line and I was able to see all the cute pictures. Seriously, I was dying. They are darling.

This little man had his first day of Pre-School last week! He actually went to pre-school a year early so he was very excited to go back! Can't believe how big he is getting!



He also started soccer this past weekend! His first game went awesome and he loved it. He even scored 3 goals!! Well, the first goal was a real goal, the second one he scored was for the other team and the third one he decided to pick up the ball run over to the goal, drop it in front of the goal and then kick it in! It was too funny! 


BYU vs UTAH

I grew up in Northern Utah so I have always been a Utes Fan and Devan was raised in Utah County so he has always been a BYU Fan! So whenever the BYU/Utah game comes up its always a fun time! 

Some of our friends have season tickets and invited us to go to the game with them. We decided it make it a little more fun with some signs!




Little did we know we would get so much from them! Right when we sat down and started waving them the ESPN cameras came over and started recording us!  This attracted SO many cameras! Probably 20 different cameras were taking photos of us! Then ESPN came back to us during the game too! It was so fun! Especially fun to see our photos on Deseret News and Yahoo News the next morning!



BEST PART?? Devan spelled cougars wrong! Not on purpose! Which made my sign that much better!! hahahaha!











Of course, the Utes won it!! Just like they did the past 3 years! I am so excited for the next one even if it isn't for a few years. So fun!! 

Hawaii!!

 Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places I have been! I have wanted to go to Hawaii since I was a kid and it did not disappoint! 


Two of our friends decided they wanted to tie the knot on a beach in Hawaii and we fully supported their awesome decision by packing up and heading out! There was 16 of us total that flew to Hawaii to their wedding most of them being our closest friends so it was a blast! 




We hung out on the beach most days! We snorkeled, cliff jumped and the boys did a bunch of surfing.  





One of our friends' is actually originally from Hawaii so she was our little tour guide and showed us the best places to go including this yummy shrimp truck!


One of the days we made our way over to the PCC which was also a good time!
















These boys make me laugh!




The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and they could not have picked a more perfect day! We couldn't be more excited for them!! 





We couldn't get the boys to stop doing this lame jump pose..... HA!




The beautiful Bride, Alisha. 





 


The boys insisted we get some golfing in!














We had so much fun and I would LOVE to go back! Especially in the winter because I am not a fan of the snow and the cold so it was a nice little escape from Utah weather! 

Until next time Hawaii!!

 About two weeks ago Devan and I jumped on a plane to Denver, Colorado to watch my very first NFL Football Game. We picked a good year to watch the Broncos because my guess is that they are going to win the super bowl this year! The game was so much fun and they won the game against the Eagles!


A company Devan works with gave us the tickets to the game which happen to be in one of the suites so it was pretty awesome!!

 I just posted about our Hawaii trip and realize we had been on 3 other vacations before that, so I thought I would hurry and blog them before I totally forget!

The end of July we went out to Vegas for some birthdays! It was Devan's, Justin's and Ben's birthday all within about a week so we figured we would go to Vegas for a few days.

We had so much fun dancing the night away, going to the Chris Angel Magic Show, lounging by the pool and gambling away all our money (okay, that part wasn't as fun HA!)




Vegas is always a good time!

 This was our second time going to the Sand Dunes this year. It's nice because it is closer to home so we can head out for the weekend easily. We went with a big group so it was so much fun! The boys LOVED driving their toys!

 Here are some updates from Instagrams! 

We went to Hee Haw Farms this past week with the kids. They had a blast picking out pumpkins and riding on the rides!




I dyed my hair brown! Super big change and I am still getting used to looking in the mirror and not seeing the blonde but I like it! :)


 Ty Ty also changed up his hair! It was starting to get in his eyes so we chopped it!
 

Little Laikynn on a modeling go see! :)


Titan's school pictures!
 

Laikynn before our family photo shoot!


Love this boy!

Titan woke up and made his bed all by himself without me asking, what a sweet boy!


Terrible twos here we come!!


Sleep overs in a tent in the living room!
They melt me heart! 




Trick or Treating.

 I figured this was the last year I could have Titan and Laikynn dress alike before Laikynn wants to pick her own costume. So when Titan said he wanted to be Batman, we decided to dress Laikynn as Robin. 








They had a BLAST trick or treating! Titan ran from house to house with the older kids as fast as he could. Little Laikynn was super frustrated that she couldn't eat the candy immediately after it was handed to her! 




Titan, Taya and Aspen! 
Do you think Titan has any influence on their costumes??

Christmas Time!

 Christmas was so awesome this year! Devan and I had been so busy in December with work that the Holiday break was so nice! We filled it with Holiday fun! Christmas day was by far the best. I think Christmas as a parent is way better than anything else! I love seeing these two so excited!!




















Devan got me a guitar and some private lessons because it has been something I have always wanted to do! Then he also got me this beautiful diamond necklace with four diamonds. The first diamond represents my loving husband, the second my son, the third my daughter and the fourth the baby I hope to bring into our family one day :) I absolutely LOVE it! 


We were able to do a lot of other fun Holiday activities too! Like seeing Santa's Reindeer.


Making Gingerbread houses.
 


And seeing Christmas lights! 
 

I just love spending time with these 3 :)

Bahamas

 For Valentine's Day this year we decided to take a trip instead of giving each other presents, this was one of the best ideas we have come up with.


We decided on the Bahamas! We have actually been there before for one of our cruise stops. We had so much fun the last time that we decided to go again and this time stay for a week.

The week flew by way too fast but we were able to do tons of fun stuff included diving 30 ft under water in a tank filled with 22 SHARKS!! Yes, SHARKS!! They were longer than me!! I was seriously SO scared but Devan convinced me that since we swam with the dolphins last time we were there we had to swim with the sharks this time. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (I thought I was going to get eaten alive). We also rented one of those floaty bike things, went to the water park, gambled, danced, laid out by the pool/beach, took and scooter into town and fun enjoyed being together!
















We brought the Go Pro on the trip so we were so busy filming videos that we forgot to take pictures :( so there is way more video then pictures. We edited and threw it took a song so if you want to check out the video from the trip

On the way back we decided to make a quick stop in New York! Neither of us had been there before so we spent the day site seeing and shopping!



In the end it was such an amazing trip! If I wasn't coming home to two of the cutest kids ever I could have probably stayed there forever!!

Blogging Catch Up

 I have been slacking at blogging lately. I think it is mostly because I forget to take my camera places with us, therefore, I only have camera phone quality pictures. Not as fun as blogging with one random camera phone picture, but how can I resist some of these pictures of these darling kiddies!!

For my 23rd birthday (back at the end of January) we went up to Mid-way to the Ice Castles. These Ice Castles were AMAZING! Everything was made of ice and you were able to walk around inside. There were even ice slides for the kids. It was cold but we loved it!


We have also been able to go to three different events at the Energy Solutions Arena! The first one was Nitro Circus. Titan was in LOVE! He is your typical boy and loves motorcycles and watching them do fun tricks along with all the other fun stunts they pull!


Next we went to the Monster Truck Jams. We took Titan to this event about two years ago and he has been obsessed with monster trucks ever since! Laikynn just loves everything Titan loves, so she had a blast as well!


Then most recently, Tonight we went to Disney on Ice, Rocking Ever After! Laikynn loved the Tangled part of the show (Tangled and Bubble Guppies are the only things she will sit and watch for more than 2 minutes)! I think I loved it just as much as the kids did, brings you back down memory lane listening to Disney Songs you grew up on!


Rewind to the Super Bowl, we sadly had to watch the Broncos lose. :( But we still had a blast watching it with good friends!



 Cousin Sleep over!!


Aspen and Titan playing one of their Favorite games!


We took Titan to The Dinosaur Expo, which was Heaven on earth to him!


 Work wise things are going great! It's so nice to have the Holidays over and not be so crazy busy!! My business partner on BB Styled, Pualei, and I went down to Vegas for a few days to the Magic Show! I loved every second of it! It truly is such a blessing to be able to do what I love for work!


Both of our husbands flew down the last two days we were there.


I recently partnered with my brother in law, Trent, on a new clothing company called LIVIN. Trent actually started the company awhile back but we are going to do a re-launch on it and see where it goes. I am really excited for it to finally launch! There is such cute stuff coming!



And here are a few random cute photos to end on :)



 Seriously though? What a good big brother!




It was her blankets turn to get washed! Poor baby girl LOVES that thing!




Potty Trained before 2!

 Guess who is potty trained??


This little girl was showed sign left and right that she was ready to go on the potty! The biggest sign was she would NOT keep a diaper on, so rather than fighting her to keep it on we switched her to big girl undies! I read the book Potty Training in 3 days and used that Method, found HERE! This is where you pretty much go cold turkey on the diapers and switch to undies.

The first day, I don't think we made it to the potty once! But we stuck to it despite all the accidents and each day she would get better about telling us she needed to go and actually making it to the bathroom on time.


so WAHOO for no more diapers!


Laikynn's Birthday

There isn't one thing in this world that Laikynn loves more than a balloon. So it only seemed right that we filled her entire room with 75 balloons for her to wake up to... She was in heaven!!






We had a such fun day on her birthday!






She was scared of the candles.






I can not believe how big she is getting! She is talking up a storm, even though we can't understand most of what she says. We love her SO much!!
Happy Birthday Laikynn!!

Disneyland 2014

 We took the kids to Disneyland a few weeks ago. They were more than excited to jump on the plane and head off to California!

(I lost my camera prior to going to Disneyland so sadly all photos are iPhone pics)




They did really well on the plane rides. Laikynn was a little grumpy on the way there but on the way home we kept her in her car seat in her seat and that helped tons.





Dinners are the best in Disneyland for the kids, you either get a balloon or a character comes to your table! 




We went out there with our Friends, Steve and Alisha, they have a daughter, Aspen, who is in Titan's little best friend so they have so much fun together while they are there! They also went with us last year. Then we brought our nanny with us as well, to give her a little mini vaca and the kids loved having her there!


Titan was over the 42 inches so he could pretty much go on any ride, even Tower of Terror. Titan is a fearless little guy and would go on every ride at the park if they would let him. This ride did scare him a little bit but I think it was more the dark and all the scary things going on, not the actual drop. 


Her wish came true! My little balloon lover!


Side note: if you buy one of these balloon and anything happens to it, they give you another one for free! :) Both of our kids popped and we went back and got new ones. 


Both of the kids were scared of all the characters, which makes the character dinners entertaining. 





Happiest place one earth, right??
 



We also decided to rent some of these bad boys. To rent they are actually the same price as a stroller from Disneyland so we got some. At first when the boys rolled up in them, we just laughed and didn't bother riding on them. But by the end of the first day we jumped on and drove them every where. It made it like a ride going to the ride haha! At night we were one short so I took Titan's spot in the stroller and Devan pulled us, we were quite the site to see in Disneyland! 




Two days at Disneyland and California Adventures is more than enough for us. So on Day 3 we cruised down to Seaworld! 



 We literally got SOAKED at the show!


One of the days we went out to the beach. Laikynn hated the cold water but Titan had a blast!




And these kids swam at the pool every chance they got!


Nothing makes me happier than seeing pure joy in their faces. We had such a fun time!


The first year we took Titan to Disneyland we were taking a photo of him in this same spot when a lady came up to us and told us how she takes her son there every year and every year she takes a photo of him in this same spot, now she has like 15 pictures of him from each year. We decided that was a cute idea and now we have done the same with Titan.
