Idaho - Part 2 - FAMILY TIME!!

So Ginny & Papa Just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary....I know amazing! It is so great to have such an amazing family - and I have just that! It was so fun to have all of us together over Labor Day weekend...it has been a long time since we have ALL been there.....thats right...my mom and her sisters and EVERY grandchild of Ginny and Papa were there... even Riley and Shelby were with us I felt! We had so much fun wether it was sitting out on the lawn chairs, hanging out at the arena, at the park playing games, or even eating...we all had a very enjoyable time! It is nice to be able to escape to somewhere we all enjoy so much! I obviously took lots of pictures (I really need to figure out how to do these photo collages that everyone does....but until then I will post each separate pic!)

Since we had all of us there, they decided they wanted to have a big group family picture taken....I didn't get one on my camera though so I will have to share that one later.... :)

We were definately ready for pictures to be over....lets just say we probably won't be having anymore any time soon....however, we are glad that we got them....it is always so nice to remember such fun memories through pictures!! I love all of my family so very much and it is so nice to know that we will be an eternal family, together forever!

With most of my cousins staying down at the "Three Island State Park" a couple of cousins planned games and activities for all of us to participate in....it was a good time!

The Skittle game (by using a straw, transfer the skittles from the bowl into a cup)

How many marshmallows can you fit in your mouth?? HAHA this was funny to watch :)

The 3 legged race....

There was lots of playing up at the arena this weekend, however the most memorable for me was when I decided to join the kids and do a lil muttin' bustin' myself! AHaha...not going to lie...I was a little disappointed in myself for not holding on longer, but it was still fun! Good times!

Idaho - Part 1 (puppy time)

Ok just being in Idaho is so great....but I haven't seen Pumpkin or her puppies since she had them! Pumpkin and the puppies are at my parents' place and she is amazing - that is hard work to have puppies....probably something like having triplets I imagine....which I can't imagine! HaHA anyways....my mom is great. They are now 5 weeks old and are the most precious things in the world...ohh I just love them to pieces!! They got lots of loving this last weekend with all of us visiting! I seriously don't know how Hailey and Steve are going to sell them....I mean I want to keep them all myself! They are so sweet and cuddly - simply irresistable!

See...I wasn't lying on how cute they are!

aunty Ky giving them their first bath :) p.s. they loved it

Clean puppies!

Look at that face....SO PRECIOUS! :)

Happy lil Sned Family :)

ahhh......I just love them!

Mags & Car, Hay & Precious, Ky & Rosco

(it was funny, any time carli would pick up a pup it just happened to always be mags....I think she has a favorite :)

Oh for cute....mom and dad and the pups :)

Precious, Rosco, & Magnolia

Ok I luv luv this picture of Pumpkin!! Car and I made her and the puppies lil tutu's and I must admit...I am super happy with how they turned out...I just loved how she is totally chic in her tutu and then totally has to make her daddy proud with her football that she can't live without!

It was so much fun to be home and get to be around these cute lil puppies and Pumpkin...she is such a good lil mama to these pups! I just hope she gets to feeling better real soon! xoxo

So on Friday I went down to Mesquite to go to the Launch Your World Event hosted by elan woman magazine. So I listened to some great speakers, got to know some really great women, and enjoyed some music sang to all of us ladies by Eric Dodge.

Mindy, Amy, Laurie, & I

Loren Slocum was my favorite speaker from the event... she was awesome, said a lot of things that I needed to hear and just put a lot of things into a different perspective. Here is one of the books she has written....I have already read it - really great! I highly recommend reading it(especially if you need a quick "pick me up")...quick, easy, read that keeps you intrigued throughout!

2 YEARS!

08-09-08

So Kyle and I have been married for 2 years! Hard to believe that it has come and gone like that...we have truly loved every minute! I am so grateful to have Kyle in my life - I love him so so very much!

We have been wanting to go and see the show "O" in Vegas for a bit and so we decided this would be the perfect time to go and celebrate for our anniversary. We went down to Las Vegas on Friday after work hurried and ate at CPK and went to the 7:30 show since we probably would not have been able to stay awake for the late show at 10! haha

The show was absolutely AMAZING!! I highly recommend anyone to go. It is incredible - the things they did and how everything worked! AWESOME! I vote it the best show in Vegas! We both really enjoyed it to say the least! ;)

We thought that since we were in town we may as well just stay and enjoy it instead of making a quick trip down and back. So we had a nice room at the Mirage....had a beautiful view of the whole strip! Way cool....

This was the only picture I got of us....everyone is always going 100mph there so I didn't stop and ask anyone to take a quick snap of us....so instead we got a really close up of us! :)

The last 2 years we have had so much fun! WE ARE SO BLESSED - We have been able to do some really fun things, Kyle is still in school, we have the cutest dog in the world, we are blessed with such great family and friends, but most of all I am married to my best friend and the love of my life! Kyle is so good to me and would do anything for me! I just love him to pieces!

Pumpkin had her pups!

Lil Miss Pumpkin (Hailey's lil princess) had 6 puppies this last Saturday (July 31)! She had 4 lil girlies and 2 lil fellas! They are all so cute and all healthy! All of them ended up being the white with fawn just like Pumpkin and the daddy....so cute! So glad that Pumpkin is doing good and being a good mommy to her pups! Now I just can't wait to see them already! :) They will all be about Kruzer's size when I get to see them I'm sure!

Pumpkin and her pups

the 4 lil girlies - aren't they so precious?!
the 2 lil fellas - love their markings!

McCall - can't get enough of this place!

So last week Kyle and I were able to head on up to Idaho and go see my family and head to McCall for the week! (I just wish the drive wasn't as long as it is) McCall is one of my most favorite places. Lots of really great memories there. I seriously can't get enough of it whether it is summer or winter - it is pure AWESOMENESS!!!

My sister Carli rode up there with us and my other sister Hailey got to go as well....Steve missed out :( Hopefully he can make it next year! Dad even got to come up for a little bit, and of course mom was there too ;)...the whole vacation was just really great.....the weather was amazing....great company...great food....lots of lake time....great sun tans...overall GREAT TIME! (This kind of means....lots of photos)

Kyle & I

This first night out we decided to eat out at one of our favorites in town "Chapala's." It is really really great Mexican food....So Mom, Hay, Car, Ky and I went out....Kyle and the ladies. :)

Kruz loves McCall too...so glad pumpkin got to be there too!

Gosh I Love these 2!! (what a beautiful sunset too!)

Having one of our many campfires during the week

Dad took us all out to dinner at the Mill....it was yummy! I had some really great crab legs! The Noble Clan - Love love My Family

So kind of a really funny story about this lynx...yes it is on a leash and Hailey was out running and was on this road and looks over and sees this lynx there. She thought it was going to attack so she took off...so she comes back and tells us all about it. Of course we have to go and see what she is talking about so we take a lil drive, and sure enough it is a LYNX! Someone has this huge cat as a pet....no they don't just keep it outside only because while we were looking at it, the owner called to it to go inside the house!! How bizarre huh?! We couldn't believe it....so here it is the Lynx.

Sisters = my besties :)

Hailey and prego Pumpkin :)

I just love wake boarding

I was the boat captain most the week - it was great

ahhh...love this guy!

oh and I love this guy too and car :)

my boys were pretty tired on the way home....this is what I got to look at while driving...can you say utter torture?

It is always so nice to get to go home and spend some time with the family. ( I just wish the drive was a lot closer) It was also great to get out of the heat for a bit and be in hoody weather!!
