~Bowling~

 On Friday Kimberly, Ali and I  joined Danielle, Kaydence, and Dominick to bowl. Fat Cats is doing a summer special 99cent bowling. It was so much fun and Kimberly loved it. The moment she walked in she said "I'm going to win". I think all the kids had so much fun and I had a great time also. It has been a long time sense I have been. We will definately have to go back.

~Photo Dump~

I noticed I had a ton of pictures on my camera so be prepared for a bunch of cute pictures!! 

Ali with her 'Ali'gater

Starting to play with toys! (Or mommy just puts them in her hands so they don't fall off! ha ha)

They are so cute together. I love watching them interact with each other.

"Mommy, Kimberly is funny!"

"what am I supposed to do with that!?!?"

Last week we add a member to the family. 'Cookie' is a female lab/collie mix, just like Rover. She is 1 year old and we saved her from the pound. She has been a pretty good dog. (until today when she went into our garden and took 2 pumpkins and a squash out! grrrrrr......I was so mad!) Needs some training! Rover loves having a new friend to play with.

Our Cookie Monster

Ali's eye lashes are getting so long. I love how pretty her eyes are!

Kimberly was trying to intertwine their fingers. It was pretty cute!

Kimberly was sharing her blanket with Ali!

We finally got Ali her bed! We just need a mattress and then she will probably move into her crib. She is almost to big for the bassinet.

I just wanted to put these on here. My baby sister graduated high school. I can't believe she is done with high school. I was sad I didn't make it to her graduation.

Ali always has her hands or binkie in her mouth. Still not sure if she is going to be a binkie or thumb baby.

Cookie! They will not hold still to get good pictures!!

 I watched Janica's kids the other day and we had a fun day making messes! One of the messes we made was playing with play dough. They actually did really good with the play dough! I was pretty impressed. I enjoy having them over, and I think Kimberly loves having friends to play with.

 Today Ali wore her sailor outfit. It was so cute I couldn't resist taking some pictures. While I was taking them Kimberly said she wanted to wear a 'superman' outfit. ha ha So we found her sailor dress with the 'superman cape' on the back. She is a funny girl.

 How did I get so lucky to have these two beautiful girls in my life!!  

I am one happy momma that's for sure!

 Ali would NOT smile for the pictures with her and Kimberly. She kept looking at me like "mom put the camera away!"

~Circleville, UT~

::7/5-7/8::

This last weekend we took a family trip down to Circleville (Piute). We had a great turn out and I think everyone had a great time. I know our little family did. This first night we just got our stuff unpacked and visited with my parents (maga & papa) and aunt Kylee. The next morning we got up and headed down to Piute Reservoir. Everyone else was planning on joining us this day. While we were down there Aunt Keesha, Greg, Jarryn, and Lexi got there, so they joined us. Kylee caught the first fish. The girls (Kimberly and Lexi) were ok and excited to see the fish, until it flip out of my dads hands and that was it, they didn't want anything to do with seeing the fish. They both started crying and freaking out. I guess I don't blame them, who would like a big slimy fish flopping all over. Greg and Jarryn caught another one and there were a few bits but nothing to amazing. The girls enjoyed playing with the bucket, bubbles, and chalk I brought. I don't think either girl really even cared about there poles once they were in the water. That is why I took a picture of Kimberly's chair empty (that pretty much how it looked the whole time we were at the lake). I got some pretty good sun the first day so I had to remember the sunscreen the rest of the trip. Ali did good, she just sat in her car seat enjoying the heat!

This night Jeremy and I made dinner. Dutch oven BBQ chicken and ribs. I found a recipe on the Internet that I decided to try. It turned out so good! If you would like recipe let me know. Aunt Traci brought the sides for our dinner. The whole thing went together so well. The place we stayed (Butch Cassidy's Hideout) had Basketball and we brought some stuff to play. We had a good time hanging out and visiting with the whole family.

The following day (Saturday) we all went for a ride on the 4wheelers, Razors, and Rhino. Even Ali went. We just put her in her snuggy and Maga held her in the razor with Papa and Aunt Kylee. I'm glad she did good on the ride. We started the ride in Marysvale and headed up to a mine (It was really cool) then we headed up to a beautiful waterfall. We had to hike a little to get there but it was so worth it. Then we went back to the trailers and sat in the shade. While a few of the others went on a little longer ride. After the ride we went to a pizza place there in Marysvale and had a late lunch.

Kimberly helped daddy drive the truck around to hook up the trailer.

I did these collages because there were so many pictures. So I hope you can see all the pictures! I'm not a huge fan of collages because it makes the pictures small but when I had over 50 pictures to put on here I decided to do them.

Later that evening most of the family went fishing and Jeremy, Trip, grandma & Grandpa Dyches and I went on another ride from our motel up the piute trail, While Grandma (Patti) watched the two girls. 

The last day we packed up the trucks and headed to Otter Creek to do a little more fishing before heading home. A few caught some really big nice fish, but our little family didn't. I was a little sad that we didn't catch one but I guess that just means we need to go fishing again this summer. It ended up being a fun trip and we all plan on doing it again. Thanks for everyone that joined us and maked it such a great trip.

I think we worn these girls out. They were both out when we started the drive home. Even Ali got a little sun. I'm just glad I did good with Kimberly and she didn't get burnt.

Who attended: The Coon's (Jeremy, Kirah, Kimberly, Ali), Maga & Papa, Grandma Patti & Pa, Great Grandma & Grandpa Dyches, Aunt Traci & Uncle Blake, Aunt Keesha, Uncle Greg, Jarryn, Lexi, Chandler & Kristen, Aunt Kylee, Aunt Kenzi & Tanner. Dogs: Nike (Kenzi's) and CC (Traci's)
