Everyone went on a hike, I was sick throwing up (no not pregnant just a bug) so I didn't go. I guess Adam said that Owen walked the whole way and kept up. He loved it.

Our Georgia trip

Ok so finally I can post our pictures from our Georgia trip from almost a month ago. We had some problems getting the pictures and we still haven't gotten them all. So this is what I have so far. Other then Paige and I getting real sick and Riley shooting his cousin in the chest with a B-B gun it was pretty fun. It was too short though I never got to go to my favorite place to eat...Checkers! yumm! Maybe next time. But I did get to go to my favorite decor place EVER finally! Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic! Oh man I loved everything in that store! I was taking pictures from right to left! I was so excited to finally be in there. I could have spent the whole day in there if I had time but we needed to get to the aquarium. I guess its the biggest one in the US. It was pretty cool. I'll get those pictures up when I get them. No pressure mom!!! So yeah our trip was great. We haven't been back there in a few years so I decided to surprise my sister-n-law. Although my mom kinda ruined it. It was still fun to just pop in unexpected though.
My parents have a cabin in the mountains so we went up there and that's where Riley caught his 1st fish. He was so excited. I was actually more relieved that he caught one then excited for him because he would have been in one of "his" moods and probably would have never wanted to go fishing again. So I guess you can say I was very excited that he caught a fish and his dad and grandpa didn't because he was in a good mood! So later that day he was shooting the b-b gun and Adam just got done telling him not to shoot the rocks. This is how well kids listen, sure enough he was shooting the rocks again and his cousin Annalies was next to him and it ricocheted off a rock and into her chest. She ran in screaming and Riley ran away from the cabin crying he knew he was in trouble! Riley was so hard on himself, we didn't really have to get mad at him he did it all himself. Well of course he did get in trouble from us and he wasn't allowed the gun back but he did most of it himself. He was saying "my mom and dad don't want me anymore" he was just going on and on and poor Annalies was saying "I never want to come to the cabin with Riley again!" I don't blame you Annalies! At the beginning of the trip he wanted a b-b gun for his birthday at the end he never wanted to touch one again! We all laugh about it now, but just don't mention it to Riley he doesn't like talking about it. Oh and if any of you read my story about when I went to Rexburg and I was trying to get my hair done? Well I finally got it done in Georgia!

Riley is 7!!!

Today Riley turned 7. He had a great day he got to open one present in the morning so he could play with something until he waited to open the rest. In the afternoon we went to see Horton Here's a Who. They loved it. Later Adams family came and we had cake and ice cream and he opened the rest of his presents. He got some money from nanny and poppy so we went and got somethings with that and Adams mom is taking Paige and Riley out for both their birthdays. In May they're having their parties. I like to go all out for their birthdays as some of you know and have seen, well this year I think I'm going to combine them and have it be a carnival theme at the park. So it'll be fun. Can't wait to start planning it. That's my favorite part. All in all I think the kids had good birthdays this year.

I'm a big girl now!!!

OK so Paige turned 5! She was so excited. Most of the day we were driving in the car though to Rexburg for a baby blessing. When we got to Rexburg Mel had it all decorated in Paige's favorite colors pink and gold. Later that night pretty much everyone who came out for the blessing went bowling. It was a lot of fun. Mya Mel's little girl loved the frosting as you can see. This trip to Rexburg actually turned out a lot better then the last trip there, no one was sick! Well Tyson had a kidney stone but I didn't have to take care of him and Owen got pink eye but it was manageable. OK maybe a little TLC for some but it was fun.
