We've had a few skype sessions with cousins Annie and Oli, and most recently Spencer and Dawn. Thanks for making 'missing home' not seem so hard!

Its Monday

which means cleaning and laundry. I've been getting caught up the last couple of hours. The kids have been perfect, and have keeping themselves entertained the whole morning.
Jackson is into his cars and loves to race them. He repeats over and over, "ready set GO!" Kensington is always playing mommy. She is getting quite the collection of babies and loves them all. She tries to feed them bottles, change their diapers and put them to sleep.
 
 
 

Have you tried

the new Celebrity Apprentice Snapples?
What do you think?

It's Friday!

Taking a break and staying inside so that we can enjoy the rest of the weekend outdoors!
Beach please!

(my attempt at a cool fort. At least the kids thought so.)

Subway sandwiches, chips, fruit salad, and soda make for a happy group of guys.
Spent part of the day at the pool.
Kensi loved all the attention.

They call this guy LIMO. wonder WHY.

Lots of splashing, races, football playing and cannon balls by all.

Love for animals

We went to the beach earlier this week to watch Tony surf.
The kids love to play in the sand and water for hours. I'm usually pretty layed back when we go and let the kids do whatever. (since we're cooped up in an apt alot of the time)
My kids make friends with everyone around us, even the dogs.
A few hours later it was nap time...Jackson took his 45 minute nap right on the beach.
Literally.


Sometimes I feel like we need a dog....only for moments like this.

(p.s. we will never own a dog :) )

Came home from our date tonight.
Babysitter said they had a hard time going to sleep without mommy.
Walked into their room.

Sharing the bed, and holding hands.
Love them!

After our fun weekend we are seriously considering making California our home for the Fall.
We love the beach.
We love the weather.
We love the outdoors.

The Wedding

The pictures pretty much sum up what a perfect day we had celebrating my best friends wedding.
Sara was married in the Salt Lake Temple last Saturday followed with a beautiful reception at Thanksgiving Point.
My whole family was able to witness her sealing.
Congratulations you two!

Family of 15...and still growing

My parents held our 1st Annual Snarr reunion this past week. Everyone was able to be there for a fun filled week together.
Theme: There's No Place Like Home
Location: Park City, UT

Met my new nephew, Oliver Marshall.

We spent a whole day in Park City. Riding the Alpine Slide, zip lines, and a crazy fast roller coaster. The little kids loved all the smaller rides too.




One of the grandkids favorite highlights was going to Heber and seeing Thomas the Train! We went on a great train ride with the family.

Cute matching hats from nana and papa.




I love this photo, we couldn't get the kids to stop looking at Thomas for a photo!


Everything we did was based around The Wizard Of Oz.
Wizard of Oz Life and Uno, Rainbow ornaments, life size cut out in our condo of Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow, the DVD, Lion Hats, Dorothy red nail polish, rainbow jello, pez, rainbow lollipops, etc. My favorite, was our Family Home Evening sharing experiences that involved characteristics of Wizard of Oz. Having a heart, wisdom, brain, etc.
Thank you mom and dad for the great week.
More pictures to come from other fun activities from the week.
