Forever.... and a day

Okay, so I haven't posted in a while. Perhaps so long that no one will read this because they've forgotten all about us. But... here's some snapshots of what's happened.

Bug-a-Boo LOVES Jamba. She'll walk right up to the counter and ask where her Jamba is.

Bug-a-Boo trying to be like her sister.

Dance class for Principessa #1. She LOVED it!

With her 2 cute friends.

Party Time!! (He's not going to be happy about this... shhh! Don't tell. :)

Great times with friends, princesses and super heroes.

Big # 5!

Happiest place on earth.

Notice the sticker? This is right after Bug-a-Boo went to the first aid station for an allergic reaction to sunscreen on her face. She couldn't even open her eyes there for a while.

Rapunzel's crown. Yes, thank you.

(We have TONS of pictures with my Principessas and the Disney ones. But we'll limit ourselves...)

Other than the terrible car ride down and back (let's just say we went through a lot of bags), we had a great time! Thanks Grammie and Grandpa!

Maybe I'll post again before Bug-a-Boo's birthday. Stranger things have happened....

Welcome, Welcome

Welcome to CaP! Cute little bundle - all 6 lbs of her!

Proud Papa!

Happy Birthday to the Mama!

Girly party - eating Fondu!

Famous Mrs. Backers - check out those frosting flowers!

Cowgirls

Merry Christmas!

This is not the Christmas picture. But I think it shows a little personality on the part of my girls. Principessa #1 is looking at the quarter we paid her to smile. Bug-a-Boo is wondering when she can finally get up and leave. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Birthday Fun

We were so happy to have Nunny come visit for Bug-a-Boo's birthday and Halloween. We had a great time trick-or-treating (on Saturday out here), shopping and eating. Thanks for coming NUNNY!

Dinosaurs and Cornbelly's

We went to Utah for about 24 hours one day toward the end of October. We packed a lot of fun into those few hours! We saw the dinosaurs at Thanksgiving Point. I think we could have spent half the day there. Good times with cousins!

We also went to Cornbelly's. They had so many fun things, but it was FREEZING! Next year we'll head there earlier in October to take full advantage of the warmer weather at the beginning of the month. The girls liked the cow train and the princess playground. They got to ride in Cinderella's carriage and on the horse pulling the carriage. They also got to dress up as their favorite princess. Although, as you'll see from the pictures, they were plump little princesses due to the cold weather!

Happy CAKE!

We have had quite a few birthday parties this summer between uncles and grandpa. Our cute little Bug-a-Boo decided that it wasn't Happy Birthday, it was Happy Cake. And she will keep saying Happy Cake until she gets cake... (She has QUITE the sweet tooth by the way. She's also constantly asking for chocolate.) Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of Principessa #1 and her 2 parties. Which she still mentions about every 3rd day.

Enjoying the treats!

Outdoor Adventures

Huckleberry picking - someone wasn't too happy about the prickly bushes

All the equipment necessary to pick and eat huckleberries
At one point, I felt like the mom in Blueberries for Sal ...

Paint Pots in Yellowstone National Park

Old Faithful - It didn't quite go high enough or long enough...

Maybe the wind had something to do with it.
