A Shout Out...

To my nieces and nephew...

I am so in love with my nieces and nephew, I am so lucky to be a part of their lives!

Owen was the reason I even wanted to have kids. As soon as I met him I fell in love and decided because of how awesome he was I finally wanted kids one day! He has the best personality and it always making everyone laugh!

I am so lucky to be able to see Bailey whenever I want! I loved seeing Jenny grow and could not wait to see what Bailey would look like. I lived with Jenny when Bailey was born and it was amazing seeing Bailey grow to what she is now! She puts a smile on my face whenever I think about her.

Ava is so beautiful and I love her chunky legs! She's about the age Owen was when I fell in love with him. I'm so glad I finally got to meet her. She is so much fun and soooo cute and I got to cuddle up to her the night before they left while she was sleeping :)

Me and Quin hanging out with cute Ava. I love that she just wants to sit and hang out!

The three cutest kids in the world got their pictures taken together while my family was here in Utah. They are so cute!!!!!!!

You couldn't ask for better nieces and a nephew. I love them so much and love every second I can spend with them. If I were to never have kids of my own I am glad at least I have these little cuties in my life! Hope there's more to come :)

Family, Family, Family!!

So my lovely family was just in town, Mom, dad, Vauri, Owen, and Ava. I had so much fun when I was with them. Last Sunday I took Quin over to my gmas house in Bountiful and I never thought how overwhelming it would be to meet my ENTIRE Bailey side of the family cousins and everything. But he was a champ and of course everyone loved him. My mom, of course she's not hard to please but it seemed like everyone loved him. I caught a few people talking about him when I would walk into another room... good things of course. And my mom even started crying about him! They have only met one of my boyfriends before and if anyone knew Doug knew he wasn't a talker and my family is... so Quin fit right in!

I was showing my mom the camera on my phone and the pictures it takes so I snapped a candid picture of my dad talking to Quin and my Aunt Bonnie. How cute!!

Here's me and Bay hanging out in the back seat watching Finding Nemo on the way to Bountiful... we're always back seat buddies! I of course LOVE IT!

My parents went to Hawaii and brought back this cute hula outfit for Bay... she hated it...

Then Owen asked for me to put it on him... I have a confession that he only asked for the skirt to be put on... I decided on the top... Sorry Jay! But it is so cute!!!!!!!!

Here's Bay and her Papa hanging out at Cafe Rio... She is so cute!!!

Me and my favorite dad in the whole wide world!!!!!!!! What sucks and is really kind of weird... well these pictures are just ones I took from my phone... but with how amazing my mom looks after losing 73 pounds you would think I would at least have ONE picture of her! I am sad with the pictures I don't have of Vauri and Ava... or more pictures of Owen! I hope Vauri sends me some from her camera. But I didn't get to hang out with them as much as I'd like... I was ditched a few times because of work and I will admit that I ditched them a few times! I love them so much and I hope they know how much I appreciate them and feel so lucky to have them in my life! I would be lost with out them. Well any of my family for that matter. Quin loves them and my dad gave Quin a hug when we left on Saturday and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. I hope to be home in August for Owens birthday because I haven't ever been there for his birthday... and come on he is the reason I decided I even wanted kids!!!!

I miss them a lot but had fun with them while they were here... I wish we lived closer!

Lake Powell!!!!

Lake Powell was... awesome!!! Like Quin always says it was unreal! Like everyone knows I had never been there before and I was really looking forward to the trip... well we packed up and drove with Kelly and Rob. We had fun driving with them. We got there Wednesday evening and we stayed at the camp grounds because we didn't get the house boat until Thursday morning. A few of us tent camped once we found a beach and it was awesome. It is such a beautiful unique place I was in awwww the entire time! Of course there's always drama on a trip so we had a little drama but for the most part we had a blast! There are too many stories to even begin... and I didn't even take a camera and can't even remember who had cameras to get pictures. There were about 22 of us and we had 3 boats and the house boat.. so during the day we'd take the boats out and hang out in coves all day and then hang out on the house boat at night. I can't wait to go back and I'm so grateful to Quin for taking me there and his awesome friends that I love!!! Sorry no pics, and it's been so long this is all I have of the trip...
