St. George - here we come!!!

One of our beautiful butterflies next to Carlee's finger.

All the girls getting ready to release our butterflies.

Jaylee eating otterpops since that was the only thing she'd eat all day Monday and Tuesday :)

Jaylee at Pizza Factory being a goof with the fork - maybe she wanted a bit more than otterpops :)

Chlo enjoying a very large bread twist.

Dave throwing Chlo. She LOVED it!

Jaylee and her crazy hair styles.

Chlo and Carlee in a tree at the St. George temple - don't you just love their fashion sence?

Chlo took this picture - she did a pretty good job!

Dave and Jaylee enjoying some bonding time at the temple.

Carlee and her hero, Sharpay. The cute actress even signed Carlee's program. Carlee was thrilled!

Dave and the girls posing for me. Don't they look cute? Chlo said she thinks she makes a great dog...

We honestly had amazing seats - I love this picture too - Heather looks like a supermodel!

We girls know how to work it! :)

Jaylee and Grandma having a bonding moment - so precious! I am truly blessed to have the most amazing mother in history - she is definitly one of my heroes and is one of my girls as well. Thanks for being the best mom anyone could ask for!

We ate a lot of our meals out here as well as read stories, did puzzles and played games. Our favorite was the disney pricess Old Maid game. Grandma told the girls that an old maid is someone who is mean and not married, Carlee pointed out that Heather must be an old maid then - huh, funny point. We decided that we had to sing the princess song that went with the card we picked- since Ursula was the "Old Maid" we'd just say, "the only way to get what you want, is to become a human yourself". We had to say it in a low scary voice - the girls LOVED it.

Carlee loved to distract Heather while she was reading to them, she'd poke her, talk right into her face and just be obnoxious. Huh, typical :)

Heather and Carlee chilling on the bench over by the fountains.

The girls posing by a cute statue at the city center.

Grandma helping Jaylee enjoy the cold water at the city center. It was such a fun place to hang out while the temperature was over 100...

Chlo braving the fountain.

Jaylee LOVED the guitar. She was so thrilled and excited when Heather would play for her. Needless to say we had to hide the guitar so Jaylee wouldn't try to play it :)

The girls LOVED the pool! It was so perfect having it right outside the back door.

Chlo learned how to play badmitten - she LOVED it. She and grandma played it quite a bit. Chlo even hit one of the birdies onto the roof - oops :)

My beautiful bathing beauties.

Carlee cracked me up in her goggles - they kept slipping down her face squishing her ears and mushing her cheeks down. What a nut.

Grandma treated us to Baskin Robins after we finised our shopping. Chlo asked if we could go back again - even though all she got was a plain vanilla cone. She's so easy to please :)

Mom and Heather had never been to In and Out - neither had my girls, I figured I'd better treat them to the experience - it payed off - what a delicious place to enjoy lunch!

I had to put in this picture because Heather looked so dang cute. She hates being in pictures so she makes funny faces... She's such an amazing sister - I'm lucky to have her! Love you Hez!

Heather and I convinced Carlee to try out one of the pots at Taipan - don't you think she makes a beautiful addition to the pot??? :)

Grandma got a HUGE clock for the study and the only way we could fit it in was on top of Chlo's seat. She called herself "cave woman Chlo" She truly was a good sport.

This last week the girls and I were able to go to St. George with my fantastic mother and sister. We had a BLAST! My parent's have recently purchased a second home down there so we decided to go check it out. It's AMAZING! So beautiful! It's nice too because it's fully equipt with a full kitchen and laundry room - the pool in the back is quite a bonus too :) We spent most of our time in the pool our outside reading and playing games. As a matter of fact, Carlee said her favorite part was swimming and playing games with grandma. Chlo loved that she got to sleep in a walk in closet. What a nut. She liked having her "own room". We got to go to in and out, which is new down in St. George. Heather told me it had to be one of the best burgers she's ever eaten - I couldn't disagree :) We went to the city center which had a bunch ouf fountains and a little water feature the kids could play in. What fun. What would a trip to St. George be without a little shopping??? We went to Taipan Imports for my mom to see if we could find anything good for the house. She did come home with a few treasures. I was able to finally get some new sunglasses and I splurged on a new Michael Jackson T-shirt. I know, I'm pathetic. It's a cute shirt though. We had a girls night one night where Heather, mom and I ate M&M's until we were sick, I colored Heather's hair and we watched Notebook. What a fun night! Dave came on Friday to join us. He had a tough time finding the place so I had to go find him. Directions aren't one of his talents. :) Dave, Heather and I got to take the two "big girls" to the Tuachan theater to see "Highschool Musical 2". The girls LOVED it. Mom was awesome and got us tickets on the second row right in the middle. The girls freaked out that they saw the characters so close. Carlee even got to meet Sharpay! What a highlight. Mom and Heather left on Saturday morning and Dave and I took the girls back to Tuachan for the flee market they have every Saturday. There wasn't much there but it was fun to get out and walk around together. Dave and the girls posed in the Annie poster and we got a good laugh. I got me a new bag which I LOVE! So it was all worth it. We did a little more shopping on Saturday and then headed home for naps and dinner. Sunday Jaylee woke up not feeling very well. She's been cranky and hasn't eaten well since... Poor thing - I hope she gets over it soon! We took it super easy on Sunday just reading books and playing games. After dinner we decided to go to the St. George temple for a little Sunday outing. It was beautiful! Monday morning Jaylee truly got sick and threw up EVERYWHERE! Poor kid! She ended up sleeping most of the day, which is a good thing for her. Once she got in a few good naps and threw up everything in her tummy she seemed much better - we decided to risk a night out to dinner. We don't go to sit down resteraunts very often so we figured we'd splurge. We ended up at Pizza Factory - LOVE IT. We had a blast! We got laughing so hard! I think it was mostly from Carlee accidently getting coke instead of root beer - then a dr. pepper refil - holy cow! She was out of control! So funny! Not to self though - beware of caffine with Carlee :) Jaylee learned how to blow raspberries and thought it was pretty cool. Tuesday morning Dave woke up not feeling well... Not good seeing as we were planning to drive home. He spent the morning in bed and on the couch while I cleaned up the place. The car was packed and we were ready to go and poor Dave dashed to the bathroom and threw up! Needless to say we ended up eating at the house instead of out. The drive home was long and didn't help that Jaylee cried for at least an hour and a half of it - and there was an accident that kept us at a dead stop for around 45 mintues - the temp guage in the car said it was 121 outside - thank goodness for AC!!! We had to stop at my mom's house to pick up Dave's car. The girls were SO excited to get out of the car and even more excited to show grandma the butterflies they grew. I decided at the begining of the summer to get them a butterfly kit - they grew the butterflies from caterpillars. Chlo suggested we let the butterflies go in grandma's yard because she has SO many flowers. What a great idea! It was a great end to a fun trip. I can't wait to go back and I think we will at least once before the summer is over. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us enjoy your new toy :)
