Go UTES!!

Just wanted to post some fun pictures we took at the Utah vs. Air Force game last weekend! Since it was only an 8 hour drive we decided to make the road trip! It was so much fun to meet up with some of Jake's Buddies, and just to see how much it meant to Jake to be there made it totally worth the drive! Thank Goodness the Utes won the game, that was an added bonus!! Here are the pics!

Jake and his Buddies!

I know you can't see us very well, but this is a rest stop along the way home, I loved this big Sunflower, Just in case you didn't know it is the Kansas State Flower!!

On Sunday before we headed back we got to meet up with my great friend Kari in Castle Rock and had lunch! It was so great to see her, we should have taken a picture!

Okay so we all know that I have been a HORRIBLE BLOGGER! So of course I have all kinds of catch up pictures to post! Here are just a few.....and as always I hope to be posting more often!

This is one of my favorite spots in Kansas City, it is a really cool fountain down at the Country Club Plaza! Sadie left, Samantha right

Love this pic of Sadie!

We took these when our great friends Kristen and Jeremy and their cute daughter Emerson came out to visit us! It was so much fun to have them here!

Thank Goodness for these precious sister moments!! It helps me get through the boxing matches that seem to be happening a little more often these days!

Oh and by the way.......Sadie and Samantha are starting their own band!!

There's No Place Like Home!

We made it back to good old Kansas City! We have been busy trying to get our life put back together, and I promise to finally post pictures of our townhome when I finally get it decorated one of these days! It truly has been great to be back and see all of our fun Kansas friends! We really do feel so lucky and blessed to have had the chance to have this European Adventure and the girls and I for our fun time in Utah! Thanks to everyone who made the last 7 months so totally fabulous for us all!
This is a fun video clip of the girls on our LONG Roadtrip home! A HUGE Thanks to Jake's totally awesome parents for letting us borrow their truck to get here!! Overall it wasn't so bad, but oh how fun it was to finally get here!!




We got right back into the Kansas City Scene by attending a Royals Game for Friday
Night Fireworks!

Sadie Loving Some Baseball Game Nachos!

This Cup Is As Big As Samantha Is!

And I just have to say....I was dreading the humidity and it really hasn't been too bad!

We just found a little tikes climber/slide on Craigs List, it is already worth every penny we payed for it! The girls love it to death!!

And to end I just have to put this cute video clip of the girls playing in our closet! They get such a big kick out of it! I love it! Sadie is in the yellow, Samantha pink.

Finally an Update!!

I know some of you have probably given up looking at my blog seeing as it has been FOREVER since I have last posted! I feel sad to have gotten so behind, because there are lots of fun pictures and events that I had planned to post about! I am glad that the reason I have not updated is because we are having TONS of fun living up our time here in Utah!! I promise to get caught up someday!!

So...I am just going to throw on some pictures from our fun 4th of July up here in Logan! We had a great time! The last couple years I have missed so much the old traditional 4th of July's we had growing up! We always would go to the Fireworks Show at Romney Stadium and then get KFC and go up to Bear Lake for the day, and then we always had our own fireworks show that night! Here are the pics.... Hope you enjoy!

We're Back!!!!

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone, and that yes, we made it back to the good old U.S.A.!! I have to report that the girls were fabulous on the LONG flight back, to which my parents and I will be forever grateful! And although we feel broken hearted to have left our MOST VERY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD (Jake) back in Paris, we know he is thorougly enjoying his time as a Parisian, and the girls and I will be forever grateful to him for the opportunity it is giving us to spend time here in Utah!!

I would love to be able to express all of my feelings and emotions about our wonderful time in Paris and our adventures to Germany, Switzerland, Austria and England, but truthfully I feel a bit overwhelmed and exhausted to be able to do it all justice tonight!! So.........hang in there and I promise to be posting fun pictures of all we have seen SOON!! For now feel free to check out my doll of a husband's blog.......snuck44.blogspot.com He is such a cutie, he made a fun slideshow of some of our funnest events. Thank You Jake!! I love and miss you tons!!

And to all of you, I can't wait to see you and talk to you all! Thanks for the Welcome Home notes, it is great to be back!!

So Funny!!

I forgot that I got this cute footage a few weeks ago! This is in our apartment, the windows here have supplied us with quite a bit of entertainment!! Sadie is the one trying to shut Sam in the window! I love that I got their cute giggles on tape!! It makes my day!!

Sorry its a little shaky! I really need to work on my filming skills!!

Fun Times In Paris!!

Just wanted to post a few more pics of some fun days we have spent hanging around Paris!! I knew this would happen, but it has flown by! The girls and I only have about 3 weeks left, and a lot of that will be spent roadtripping around to a few more countries with my parents and a trip to London! So I am trying to value everyday we have in this Beautiful City of Paris!!

It has been so Amazing!

No matter how many times I have seen the Eiffel Tower by now, It always blows me away!! And it looks even more beautiful now with the pretty blossoms on the trees!!

Me and my "cutie girls" in the Tuilleries Gardens that lie in front of the Louvre Museum

Sadie being "So Big" out in the courtyard of the Louvre! The girls love to finally be free of thier strollers and get out and walk around here!

Jake and the Girls just chilling on one of our favorite bridges in Paris!

Samantha and Daddy goofing around at the Jardin d'Acclimation!

Just had to post this one because it seems to be the epitomy of "us" in Paris! The girls living off pretzel sticks (this seems to be the only "constant" in their diet!) And strolling around barefoot, because they hate their sandals! We usually start out with them on and within a few minutes they have the velcros undone and are using the footrest of the strollers to try to rip them off their feet!! We have given up, yet feel unbelievably embarassed and grossed out when on the subway they may all the sudden TRY TO SUCK THEIR TOES!!! YUCK!!

Sadie Jane chatting it up with the ducks at Jardin de Luxemborg!

Samantha Dawn going for a stroll at Jardin de Luxemborg!

Actually I can't tell you who is who in this one!! But I thought it was adorable!! The girls have always been fun, but seem to get more fun everyday! I am sad that they probably won't ever be able to remember all these good times they have had in Europe! Hopefully we have enough pics to document the entire trip for them!!!

Happy Birthday to Cousin Hailey!!

Today is our Cute Cousin Hailey's 1st Birthday!!

We wanted to send lots of Birthday Hugs and Wishes!!

Love and Miss You Guys!!
