We passed!!!!:))))





I had to do a little post about the twinners passing swim lessons! I was so anxious and scared for lessons,cause usually the twins are SO shy.....I guess when it comes to swimming they arent!ha! They LOVED lessons and did SUCH a great job! They loved going every morning and were always so excited! They even did the diving board on the last day and wanted to do it again!And they loved getting their little report card from their teacher on the last day! It was so fun to watch them everyday to! They've graduated from pikes to eels for next year!!!And they can't wait!!!!:)))))

Summer Fun and 4th of July!!!



















Thought I'd post some pics of what we've been up to so far this summer,we're for sure taking advantage of the nice weather we're finally having! We went w some friends and saw the circus which the twins really thought was fun, The twinners also got to spend a day w Grandma and their cousins Atlee and Dax at the new Rexburg waterpark, anytime their all together their having a blast!We've done Rigby Lake w friends to and the twins LOVE it there, they LOVE to play in the sand,they had a blast w their good friend Ethan! Their getting so brave when it comes to the water and swimming to which is making me realize they are growing up super fast!:( We've done the zoo a few times so far to:)The other day we did Bear World w my mom and had tons of fun, although I think the twins like riding the carnival rides there better than really seeing the animals?;) 4th of July we went to the parade which the twins LOVED and headed to the Elmore's for a barbque and some fireworks and let the kids swim and play! I'd love to say the twins stayed awake to see some big fireworks,but they fell asleep about 8! ha! Oh well maybe next year! Hope everyone's having a great summer to!!! Enjoy ALL the pics!!:)))

Welcome baby Kade!!!!:)))






I'm an Auntie again and the twinners have another cousin to play with!yay! My brother and Ashley had a little boy on May 27th,Kade Douglas Button weighed in at 7lbs. 12oz.! His older brother and sister are totally in love w him already! We went up to Montana for a couple days to meet the new addition and let the cousins play and give Ash some rest:) We got a hotel that happened to have one of those most massive bath tubs I've ever seen in a normal room,so the kids decided to swim in it instead of the pool!haha! We had a great time and wish we could all get together more often!
I also competed in the Dirty Dash mud run last weekend up above Park City,at Soldier Hollow,which is a beautiful mountain used for cross country skiing in the winter, the Dash was a blast and is fairly new to SLC, It's a 5k,up through the mountainside,w the whole thing covered in mud,w obstacles like hay bales,wood walls,COLD water spraying machines,slides and a final DEEP pit full of mud water,that you MUST swim through to get to the end(no cheating by going around it,dang!) It was huge,5,000 people and sold out! We competed in a team,and your team must all finish together,One of my best friends from high school Becca and her family made up our team,it was good to get to see her!w kids and husbands nowadays,those fun girl trips are few and far between;) We promised to compete every year together! Of course when the Dash was finished,I went to my hotel,showered and got ready for a day of SHOPPING,I must say it was heavenly to have no kids or hubby to rush me along!!!!;) But thanks Trav for watching the twinners for me so I could go have some fun!:))

Finally catching up!!! Easter!!





































































































































We've had a busy April w Birthdays and Easter,and I've fallin behind on blogging a bit. Trying to catch up w this post and combine all the things that have been going on! First up it was Trav's 33rd b-day and I only have one sad pic of it,haha! Him and Luke w his cheesecake,anybody that knows Trav knows he's super healthy and doesn't eat cake,but every now and again,he loves a bite of cheesecake,so I picked up a delicious one from Babe's;))) We left the kiddos w my mom and flew to Vegas for a few days for his bday and to get away to the sun! It was such a nice long weekend,and we had a great time! We had my mom's bday on the 19th,and me and the twins had a plan to surprise her for her bday,my dad said he was gonna take her to lunch in Ashton for her day and we were in on it,we showed up as they were just sitting down and surprised her! The twins were so excited to surprise Grammie and get to spend time w her on her special day! And of course her favorite are red velvet cupcakes from Cocoabean:)))YUM! Anyone that knows my mother knows she was crying when she saw all of us their to surprise her:) We had Easter this year up at my parents in Island Park,we had nice sunny days but LOTS of snow! The twins had a blast coloring eggs,egg hunting,playing w their cousins,riding snow machines,and of course swimming at the clubhouse! Lots of fun and GREAT food!!! I haven't been to great about taking pictures lately,so I really need to start doing better! But enjoy the ones that I took!!!:)))

A trip to Arizona!!!


























































































































































Me and the Twinners headed out to see my parents last week in Arizona and to get the heck out of this COLD weather!!! I was SO nervous about flying alone w the twins but figured some good sun was worth it!;) The twins did SO well,they LOVED the airports and LOVED the plane! They watched movies and just loved lookin out the window on the flight! We landed in Mesa to wonderful 80 degree weather!My parents are farther south towards Yuma right by Mexico,so the weather is always nice!Spent the week w them swimming,shopping,going to the new Chuck E Cheese they put in down there(the twins LOVED it),and of course eating some good food! It was so nice to see them we miss them and cant wait till they come back in a few weeks! IF they were staying longer we be tempted to go back again,ha! Trav and Macy got to enjoy a week of quiet here at home!;) They were so excited to see Trav waiting in the airport when we got back in to Idaho Falls:)))It was such a good trip,and was so good to see my mom and dad!!!We love you guys! :))))
