Rhubarb

We love rhubarb! We haven't gotten too much rhubarb from our plant yet since it is just two years old, but it is already putting out some pretty impressive leaves. We couldn't believe how big this one was. The girls had fun wearing it around as a hat.

Hiking up to see the city....

When we visit St. George, we have a favorite little hike we like to go on. When you reach the top you can see over the city and see the temple. The girls get a little scared being up so high, but they like to see the view as well.
The girls love to play around and climb on all the rocks. They think they are mountain goats.
We love going on little hikes as a family. Everyone seems to get along so much better when they are outdoors.

Getting out of the snow....


Time for a road trip! Little Miss M took this picture out of the car window along the way.
Little Miss A.
Little Miss K.
And Little Miss H with food on her face.
And Little Miss H doing what she does best...sucking on her thumb.

We had way to much snow up at our house. D had a work conference in Southern Utah. It was a great opportunity to get out of the snow for awhile and enjoy the sunshine.
We had a great time going shopping, playing in the pool, eating out, and going hiking. It was fun to just get away as a family for awhile.

Pinkalicious Party

Our Little Miss K turned 5 way back in April (yes, I do know I am VERY far behind on my blog!). We had a pinkalicious party for her based off of the Pinkalicious book.
She has such a fun personality. I just laughed as I looked at all of the pictures from her birthday. She is making a different face in every one.
Her big sisters got some horse trailors a few years ago for Christmas. K has wanted one ever since. We found this cute little one for her. Now she can play horses with her sisters.
She has gotten so big. She is fun to have at our house. She is always saying something to make us laugh....or completely catch us off guard.
We had pink cupcakes (if you have read the book you will know why), but luckily no one turned pink the next day!
She wanted to have "alien dogs" (hot dogs with spaghetti through them) for dinner. We also had cherries and pink punch.
Happy Birthday little K....this is going to be a big year for you. Mom will miss you while you are at kindergarten.

My little cowgirls....




My girls love horses. I mean reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy love horses. Everytime we go anywhere they count all the horses along the way. My oldest is CONSTANTLY begging for us to get a horse. (That will NEVER happen! We keep telling her that she will just have to marry a cowboy!) They love this rodeo exhibit at the children's museum. They would spend all their time while we are there riding these horses if it weren't for all the other kids waiting in line to ride them too. Apparently my kids aren't the only ones that love horses.

Brunette again...




I am trying out brunette again. I just can't decide if I like it or not. I am still a little shocked everytime I look in the mirror. I did add a few golden highlights after I took these pictures. I think it makes it look better. So what do you think? Brunette or blonde?

Miss A turns 7

My little A turned 7 this year. I can't believe how big my kids are getting. I guess since I keep getting older they have to as well. She wanted a dog birthday this year. I found this cute little dog with a carrying case, clothes, leash, bowl and treats. She named it Jewel.
Grandpa and Grandma B came over to celebrate with us. I think she enjoyed all of her presents.

In rememberance of our little Josie I made a dachshund birthday cake. The girls all loved it. We miss our little dog. I guess we will just have to stick with the stuffed dogs now. A has had a lot of fun with her little dog. She takes it all over and brushes its hair. Yesterday she was even eating nerds out of its dog dish.
