A Busy July

We have been soooo busy this month. Finally, it's time to get a little caught up here.

While Nana was here, we checked out a new state park. It was a crazy adventure. In a nutshell, we probably won't be camping there again. It would be fun to go back and jetski, or walk around the historical farm in the FALL, though; when it's not so unbearably hot.


We went camping again, with my family this time, at our favorite state park (so far). Caden went with my parents to see some tigers at the nearby tiger preserve. (Michael Jackson actually donated two of his tigers to this place.)


On a sad note, my sweet Grandpa passed away.
We had scheduled a trip to Utah to see him, but we were too late to say goodbye.
The funeral was beautiful.
(Special Thanks to Doug and Bryanne and my Parents for helping me with my kiddos.)



So while Adam worked, we played. ;)
It was fun to catch up with his family again.


It was so fun to visit with all our relatives.
(Caden was amazed by the mountains!)
We just wish we could have spend a little more time with everyone!

Surprise Visit

...from Adam's Mom. YAY! We love it when Nana comes!
Here's a picture she did. How cute!

Spring Break

Adam's mom came to visit for Spring Break! We had a wonderful enjoyable happy time! It went by way too fast. I'm so glad I get along with my MIL so well. She's such a fantastic grandma. Even though she lives too far (in Alaska), she's still a HUGE part of Caden's LITTLE world. It was so nice to have an extra pair of hands to help us spoil our more than cute kidlets. I just LOVE when family comes to adore my babies. ;)

First up - the Rainforest Cafe. We had to see what all the fuss was about. It was neat, but next time we decided we will just order the volcano cake and no food. Caden didn't really like his pizza and Ambree was so scared of the Gorillas, but my coconut shrimp was really yummy and it was nice to eat out. You only live once, right?



*************************************************************
We went to a family fun place - similar to Chuck E Cheese - and played every single game in the entire joint... We spent about five hours there! Ha ha. Admission comes with a pizza buffet, so we filled up on lunch AND dinner ~ and of course DeSsErT.

I got a hole-in-one!


Caden and Adam raced in the go-karts...


...and of course they won first place.
