Vacation, a day at a time!

So I'll stick to each event and do a post each day, if I can. We did so much while we were in Nevada. We started our vacation Friday night by going to my Mom and Dads to drop off Zoe eat dinner, and stay the night. We got up bright and early to be at the Bountiful Temple so I could attend the sealing of Jer's cousin Kelcey. It was such a great place to take pictures. We took tons but here are a few.
This is Jenna's new cheese. It's what she gives now every time she sees the camera.
From such a brat!
To so sweet.
I love his smile!
Aren't they sweet.
Ah, me and my kiddos. So cute.
Running in the grass.
Still the same old Jenna. Cousin Adam really wanted a hug, but Jenna just wanted Mom. She gave him a huge hug when we left way later that night.

Later we went to the Luncheon and Grandma Ovard picked up Grandpa from the airport and met us there. Then we helped get David and Shelley's house all ready for the reception. Right when the reception started we said goodbye and drove halfway to Nevada and slept in a hotel. We got to Minden on Sunday afternoon. Grandpa and Grandma got there on Monday. The kids got to take swim lessons Mon-Friday the whole two weeks we were there. Pictures soon to come!

Just a preview

We have taken hundreds of pictures this trip, and we have almost a whole week left. So here are just a few to start. More will come when we get home!

Saturday July 10th, was Jeremy and I's 11th anniversary. Jeremy's cousin Kelcey Ovard got married that day at the bountiful temple, so we spent the day up north with family. We left late that night to drive halfway to Nevada. We got there on Sunday afternoon. Kelcey and Brad Murdoch
We bought some dart guns and have been having a blast with them. It's so fun to watch the kids play, but even more fun to watch grown men race around the house shooting each other!



On Wednesday after swim lessons, we got to drive 3 1/2 hrs to Yosemite National Park. It was so fun. The scenery is beautiful! We hiked to Lower Yosemite falls. The kids loved it. Logan said "That was awesome!" We didn't stay long, and got back by 10 or 11 pm. Went right to bed for lessons the next morning!

This is called half dome. Pictures never do nature justice. It was so big and amazing!

On Sunday we went to a Reno Aces baseball game. The kids all had fun! Jenna got asked to go do the small fry run with two other babies. She ran from Jer to me and got a free shirt and free french fries from McDonald's. We also got some ice cream after. I think she liked it!

Monday we went bowling after swim lessons. Another fun thing! Everyone loved it! I barely beat Summer. She was doing awesome!

I didn't get a picture of our first game. Logan played that time. He even got 70 something. Jeremy got 155. He was mad I didn't get a picture of that.

Enjoying the yard!

I love when the weathers not too hot and Jeremy mows the grass. Our back yard is shaded in the evening. It's so fun to sit out on the deck and watch the kids play.
Jenna sat on the swing for so long. She even moved her legs like your supposed too. I love her smile!
Zoe loves being out with us. She loves to eat sticks and when we can get them from her, she loves to chase them!


Jenna LOVES the tramp. She likes it best when she's on it alone, but she loves to jump with Kylee too.

Summer is finally riding her bike! This isn't that great of a video, but you can see her do it a little. We'll keep practicing so that we can go on family bike rides again.

I said, "Look Summer can ride and she's only 6" (Kylee was 8 when she learned) and this is the look she gave me. Ha Ha!
A big helmet on a little head. At least he likes to wear it:)

I love my roses! I love my house too! I think it looks so inviting!
I even have 6 potatoe plants growing!
Our tree is getting so big! I love it. We will probably be planting a new tree in the backyard soon. We just can't decide what kind. We want it for shade but it can't grow too wide. We'll see.

Here are some close ups of the roses. Some of them are so big and so beautiful! Too bad the wind blew away a whole bunch of them. There were still some pretty ones left though. These one's are huge!

So it focused on the wall and leaves and not the flower, but it's still pretty though.

I took this in the morning after the sprinklers had been on. I love the water on it.
This one is in the back yard. Not many people get to see it and I think it's my favorite color!

We're leaving on Sunday for a 2 week vacation. I hope things look this good when we get back. Thank goodness for our sprinkler system!
