Can't wait for SPRING!

Who says that in the beginning of Fall? Ok, Skye can't wait for Spring Soccer! We got her a pink soccer ball, and Oma and Opa got her some cleats! She's all ready. I'm pretty curious to see how it goes... 3 year olds playing soccer? It's been such nice weather that we've played lots. We really need Aunt Sadi out here coaching her!

Skye's New New House

Skye calls this the "new new house" because as you know we are building a house right now, and that is the "new house". Therefore, this must be the new new one. She had more fun eating the frosting and candy, than actually decorating the house. She loved watching us do it, and was more than thrilled at how it turned out! I am glad that kids are so easy to please!

TIME OUT!!!

Am I just heartless, or do you also think it's adorable when your kids are in time out? Skye does awesome in time out, she just goes straight to the corner and folds her arms. I pretend to be mad till she's solid, and then I just watch and smile. Check out those calves! What a doll!

way. too. cute.

Listen, I know I'm a bit biased, but these have got to be the cutest cousins I have ever seen!

Yes, we're having another girl!!!

We have had a hunch since we found out that I was pregnant that we were having another girl, and we are! We are so excited! Due January 19th. 19 Weeks.

Insane in the Membrane!

Robbie and his insane brothers decided it would be fun to make a slip'n'slide... this is what you get when the Dias Brothers do a slip'n'slide. Check 'em out!

Big Air

Our favorite pass-time this summer has been boating. Robbie's dad gave the boys the boat this summer, which means tonz of outings! The first couple weeks they went almost every day! Skye and I have loved surfing and just hanging out! Notice no pics of me, Robbie's always driving the boat, but I get huge air too! :) Ya right. Robbie is getting really good at the Air Chair!

Not a wipe-out, just the joys of the Air Chair! :)

Robbie's BACK FLIP on the Air Chair! Skills!

The surfin duo. Surfing two at a time is harder than it looks!

YW Campout on Kolob

We had a way fun Young Women's Campout this last week. We went up to one of our Mia Maids cabin on Kolob. What a fun way to feel the spirit and work on Personal Progress. Good food and Good friends. Skye loved hanging out with all the "big girls"! Thanks again Strattons!

A Hiking First for Skye

Ok, so this insn't Skye's first hike ever, but the first time she hiked by herself. Let's just say she's not a born hiker. We probably made it a 1/2 mile up the trail when the girls were ready to be done. Well, at that point we still had a 1/2 mile back to lunch! I think next time we will bring lunch with us so the hike home is still fun! Overall, it was good to get out and enjoy nature with the kids!

Pre-Hike Happy Faces!This squirrel looks innocent enough right? WRONG! When we got back to our picnic table, we spotted this little guy inside Jessica's bag! We got closer to try and take a picture of him inside the bag, but scarred him away. Not for long though, soon enough we saw him munching the PB&J he stole out of the bag. A few minutes later, enjoying some Fritos!

Our Mini Surf-Pro

I want to say "Check out Skye, she rocks!" but I have to say Check out Robbie! Can you imagine how hard that would be? First getting up with her, and having neither of you strapped to the surf board. Wow! Skye loved surfing.

Our California Trip in JUNE!!!

We went to Oceanside CA with my fam, which was a blast! My parents decided that would be fun because Colby got home from Canada in April, and Trent leaves for Argentina in September, so we all loaded up and headed. They stayed at our house Thursday night, and then we drove to Cali Friday morn. Skye thought it was a long trip, but we had fun with her. Here are some of her thoughts!

Six Flags Baby!

So, at Disneyland, the characters weren't a huge hit with Skye, but for some reason she loved them at Six Flags. Possibly because she hasn't seen tons of Disney movies, but she watches all the old Looney Tunes at Opa's house! It was way fun, she would just run from one character to the next! We didn't get tons of pictures of the rides, but here are a few, and the video is MORE THAN WORTH IT! I'm sure you've ridden a ride similar. It's a big boat that swings back and forth and really takes your stomach. Skye rode it 7 times! She loved it, and the operator loved her. Whenever we rode, and there was someone scared, he would tell them to watch her and they wouldn't be scared. We rode at the very back, the most scary seats!

Skye and Grammy

She even hesitantly hugged this scary guy! Who is he anyway???

Chillin at the Condo

My Favorite Temple!

We got to go to the San Diego temple, which is my favorite. Now, after being inside, it is REALLY my favorite temple! When you go there, don't forget to have someone show you the Atrium. It is totally worth it. It is this room, and in the middle of it, there is this huge glass courtyard shaped like the Star of David. Inside this courtyard there are tons of flowers. Even though it is glass on all sides, you can smell the flowers inside the temple. When you look up, you can see all the gorgeous spires.

My brother Trent who is going to Resistancia, Argentina September 2!

My goofy brother Colby who likes to pose for pictures!

Robbie's Birthday

While we were in Cali, we celebrated Robbie's b-day. It's tradition in my family that you get to choose whatever you want for your "cake". Robbie always chooses Banana Cream Pie! It was sweet doing his birthday in Cali because shopping was easy. What more could he want besides a sweet skimboard, and boogie board! Happy birthday Babe! And yes, that is 27 candles!!!

San Diego Padres V.S. Philadelphia Phillys

Wow! The baseball game was so much fun! We didn't realize it was such a big game, but the stands were packed! It was almost as entertaining watching the crowd as the game. There was a huge group of college students sitting above us that were fighting and got escorted out! This first picture is how we got to the game! We had these two guys bike us to the front gate, totally beats walking!

Beach Time!!!

Robbie's ultimate favorite thing to do, ride the waves.

Does life get any better? Cookies and tanning on the beach!

shy since he got home from his mission in April!

Skye's hinder is seriously hungry in this pic!

No 4th Pictures! Bummer!

So, we had an awesome vacation with Robbie's family. I can't say that I forgot the camera, or that the batteries died. I just have to say that I made sure the batteries were charged, memory stick emptied, and I had it with me at all times...and still didn't take ONE picture! How lame is that!? We headed up to Island Park, ID with Ricky and Stacia on Tuesday. We didn't end up leaving till 6:30, so we didn't get there till 4am! We talked to Robbie's parents till about 5am and then went to bed.

We got up Wednesday morning and went to the river. They brought 2 kayaks and a john boat. Stacia and I were in one kayak, and Robbie and Ricky were in the other. Skye went in the boat with Mom, Dad, and Sadi. Races, of course we raced the boys...and won!!! Ok, we did win, but they only had one paddle! It was way fun, everyone fished but us. We aren't the best fisherwomen, and we were worried about hooking eachother, so we just watched. After fishing, we went to Mack's Inn Playhouse, and had an amazing Prime Rib dinner, and watched the play Beverly Hillbillies 90210. It was so much fun, that is one of my favorite things to do in Island Park.

Thursday we got up earlier, and went to the river again. This time Mom and I were in a kayak together, and she really wanted me to get a fish, so she paddled the WHOLE time, and just let me fish! It was way fun even though I stink at fishing! Is there really skill involved, or is fishing really just luck? I did have lots of bites (I think they were bites, it's a definate possibility they were just snags), but I only caught two fish! Last year I did way better. After the river, we got cleaned up and went back to the Playhouse for another night of amazing dinner and hillarious show! We saw Less Miserables. What a blast!

Friday we decided to go to Jackson Hole. It was a beautiful drive, so green with lots of rolling hills. We walked around, and went to several shops, including this amazing candy shop! They had everything you can imagine, I have to say that was my favorite stop! We went to dinner at the Gun Barrel, and headed home! We got back to the cabin, and built a fire outside. We all sat around eating lots of junk, and CHERRY CREAM SODA (Ricky had 7!)

Saturday morning we got packed up and headed back to Idaho Falls. Mom, Dad, and Sadi had to leave after lunch. They were driving to Portland for Sadi's Basketball tournament (she's amazing). The rest of us went to the mall for a while, and then went and saw My Sister's Keeper. Holy cow, take some tissues! I bawled like a baby, Robbie was making fun the rest of the night. He did admit though that if you didn't cry, you don't have a heart. We went to Stacia's bro's house and had an awesome Mexican dinner, and then headed to the fireworks. I guess the Idaho Falls fireworks are the biggest fireworks on this side of the Mississippi. I don't know, but they are huge. We have been every year since we've been married, so I can't even remember what St. George fireworks are like! We spent the night in Idaho Falls, and headed home Sunday morning.

What a fun vacation! Maybe it's good that I didn't take my camera because we all know that I am not much for words! This is by far the most wordy post I've EVER written!! Thanks Mom and Dad for everything!

Our Day Out

The other day Skye and I went to Fiesta Fun! We had a blast playing arcade games, riding the go-karts, and minerature golf, and don't forget the BuMpEr BoAtS! We had so much fun together.
