Oceanside

We had a wonderful family vacation! The drive was long and not my favorite part... 

But we split up the 10 hour drive in half and slept in St George the first night and tested our cool Voxkin Waterproof Phone Cases (purchased on amazon here) and it was so much fun! 

We arrived in Oceanside and walked down to the beach. Our resort was literally across the street from the beach and so amazing!  It was nice to have a few days to just relax and play with the kids and not have any plans. 

We spent time swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand. 

The last day we walked around the pier and saw Petes Dragon

I love this little family of mine! 

Summer... holidays, birthdays and reunions

We had an awesome 4th of July weekend. I'm so thankful for our country, freedoms and families. At this time in the world I truly say "GOD BLESS AMERICA" 

I always love an extra day off to clean the house, work in the yard and spend time with these two cuties. Matt is basically superman fixing things around the house like the dishwasher, automating everything, my car, etc. And my kids love dressing up like super heroes and princesses. 

Yes we went to Wal-mart and Chick-Fil-A dressed like this...... 

Then we went to a fun BBQ at the Romero's house. 

Poor little Ava broke her leg jumping on the trampoline! 

Cohen is getting so big! 

We are soo excited for Lennyx to be officially part of the family in just a month!! 

 My grandpa Dickson posted this picture of him and his siblings on the 4th of July and I just love that they still get together and are all still alive and so awesome! 

My work does a few service projects a year and we went and helped at a Crisis Center in Salt Lake

 We did yard work and organized (took inventory) of over 500 diapers! 

 

MY MOM is 60 years young! I love her!! We threw her a surprise birthday party and she really was surprised!! Not the best video, but you get the idea. 

Sabrina made this adorable poster, the invitations and the cake.

Melinda made all the delicious food- taco bar of course- and has the perfect clean house for parties

I got the decorations and typed up a gift from all the kids. 

 

My dad and mom

 

A few of her friends- Debbie, Cutlers, Nadine and Doug came too!  

  

 It was fun having Indy and Sabrina sleep over! Indy is getting so big. I love all my nieces and nephews!


Juliette and Lincoln had fun playing with their neighbor friend, Declan.

Because I was off decorating and helping with our.....

10 Year High School Reunion

Here are the "planners"

It turned out awesome! And I think everyone had fun. 

The best part was just mingling with everyone and catching up.

 We had a delicious dinner and cake from Utah Food Services. They cater! 

We had a program lead by our class president "Unz" and he did a great job! 

We gave out awards...like married the longest, traveled the furthest, most inked, traveled to the most countries, service award, changed the most and least, overcame the odds, etc. 

It was so fun to see these two still together and with 4 kids! 

And are so adorable!! 

We also had memorial books to sign and give the families of those we lost :( 

I miss these guys!!  

Matt's friends! He didnt come cuz he was camping with his college roommates and having their own reunion out in the wild shooting guns and blowing stuff up haha.  

All of us have been together since...VISTA elementary 

Best Friends Forever! 

We also had a fun slideshow of pictures from high school. Here are some flashbacks...

Lincoln Gregory Romero

 

I love this kid

Give him 2 cars and he's happy for days. He always carries two little hot wheels everywhere we go, even to bed. He loves LOVES steering wheels and driving. He loves to sit in the front seat and asks me every single day if he can drive. I tell him when he's 16 and he says ok let's wait here til I'm 16 so I can drive. Hahaha. We made the mistake of letting him sit on out lap as we pull in or out of the driveway and it must have been the best day ever because he will not forget. On our vacation last week he spent most of his time at the wheel of the motor home.

At the fair last week he wanted to go on the car ride first, last and every ride in between. Which was no surprise.

He spends hours inside his cozy coupe and his favorite books are about trucks and cars. He loves monster trucks too. And 4 wheelers. He's a total boy and we love him. He doesn't do so well with transitions so we need to work on that.



He is very friendly! He loves saying hi and being Involved. He is a smart little cookie. He can sing the abcs and count to 14. He loves to sing! He can recognize his name and loves the letter L and number 5. He wants 5 hot dogs, 5 rockets, 5 of everything. He's really good at sports. Has a good throw and can already kick and dribble a soccer ball and make baskets in his hoop with a basketball in his room. He loves the water and swimming.

He hates not having shoes on or walking outside barefoot. He loves going to his grandparents houses. He is a trooper little brother and loves to play with Juliette when they aren't fighting. I love to hear them giggle together. Or comfort each other when the other is sad.

He loves his dad and calls him his best friend.

He is always excited to see me at the end of the day and says in his deep voice "my mom is here!" To his teachers before even dating hi to me. I love it. He makes good friends and is a cutie.


He loves watching tv and movies and can actually summarize them and follow the story line. He has a great memory and already is taking after dad tinkering with technology. He can turn on and off the tv and use a controller. He loves the show Jake the Neverland Pirate about some kids who help solve problems in Neverland with Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinkerbell. He can watch the same show over and over and over and over and over.

He loves wearing his hat!


He doesn't like getting his picture taken lately and will run away if we try.


He is pretty much potty trained. I say pretty much because he's been peeing the toilet and wearing underwear for almost 2 months but has pooped in the potty a grand total of 5 times. So not fun but it's getting better. He's my determined little explorer and we love him!!

Happy birthday Lincoln. Thanks to everyone who came to his party! We had a blast.

We had fun at Taylorsville Dayzz too!
