I love being Aunt Ashlee!

Makyla and Malea came to stay in Utah for two weeks and came and stayed with us for 5 days! We had SOO much fun! The first day we just hung out by the pool and watched movies but the next day we went on a cool hike to stewart falls. It was a really hot day but when we got to the falls in was so fun to cool off in the mist and play in the water. I think the girls loved it!

On Friday we went to this arcade/pizza place with Troy and Karlie, the food was terrible but the arcades were lots of fun. On Saturday we went to the UP house.

It was the parade of homes so they had these guys outside dressed just like the characters from the movie! We got to go inside and they had every detail just like the movie, chairs, ties, beds, paintings EVERYTHING! It was fun to see the girls so excited over all the little details.Even the little mailbox outside was a replica of the movie!

I'm so lucky to have 4 of the CUTEST nieces ever. I know everyone says that about their nieces but seriously have you seen mine? Its been so fun to watch Siri and Brynn grow up and show personality as little babies, I was thinking when Malea and Kyla were staying with us; soon this will be Siri and Brynn! Crazy how fast time flies! I love watching all of them grow up and cant wait to have many more FUN adventures with my nieces! I love being an aunt!

Califronia summer 2011

Summer has been so busy for us I feel like we have been gone more than we have been home. We went to California in July and spent a week with the Peterson family. While we were there we got family pictures done and they turned out SO cute! I cant wait to order the pictures and get them up in the house. While we were out there Eric took me to San Fransisco for the first time(about a 2 hour drive from Eric's parents). We went to Lombard street (the crookedest street) It was crazy how steep the roads are. I was freaking out a little!
We went to Fisherman's Warf, and had lunch on Pier 39. After lunch we went and checked out Ghirardelli square and walked around the shops.On the way back we went to the beach and took pictures of the golden gate bridge!  We drove over the bridge into San Fransisco, I always get nervous driving over bridges, and as we were getting closer I was freaking out a little bit. Luckily there was fog just around the bridge so I couldn't really see how high up we were. We decided that every time we go to California we are going to try and visit a fun place. While we were visiting Brian and Jackie took us out on their new boat, and I FINALLY got up and stayed up..even for just a few minutes on the wake board!  It's always so nice to get out there and see all our friends and family and we cant wait to start planning our next trip!
