Trip to San Fran

This last weekend we decided it was time for some big city living, so we jumped in the car and headed to San Fran. This place was truly the busiest place I have ever seen. Guess that's what a city is like. Hmmmm.. Guess I have lived in a small town for too long. The weather was amazing and the architecture was absolutely gorgeous!

We lucked out with the weather and headed for the beach.

Kylee loves the water and the beach. She is definitely my kid!!


We did what every tourist does....Ride the trolley and carry a camera.


These two look identical!!

Kylee turned 3.....3 months ago.

I can't beleive my little baby is 3 years old. WoW! She wanted a princess party with a princess cake and of course a dragon. How can you say no to that??

Christmas in Utah

Once again we were able to go back 'home' for Christmas vacation. Sadly to say both Kylee and I ended up with pneumonia and strep throat. Jeremy was also lucky and got strep throat with us! Needless to say before we left back home to Oregon, my mom and step dad were both on antibiotics. Sorry!

Christmas could have not been any better. All Kylee wants to do is dress up like a princess (She gets that from her dad)so it was great that she was spoiled with tons of princess attire. Thanks family!!


What's Christmas without a family photo on the stairway?


These are my two twin nephews. (I think, I never fully understood the whole process of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc....) Anyways, are they not the cutest things EVER! :)

Halloween - Thanksgiving - Christmas = Genius!

So it is no secret that I am no avid blogger. So here are just a few snap shots from the last few months.
Check out this perfect white christmas, Bing Crosby type of bridge! It screams Christmas! We found this bridge while out and about looking for a christmas tree.


We were lucky enough to go home for Thanksgiving and spend some time with the fam.


My mom and grandma are playing the famous duet 'sleigh bells' Apparently I will be wearing glasses when I am older. :)


Halloween - Kylee made a gorgeous snow white and loved trick or treating with her friends Brady and Taylor. Carving pumpkins was lots of fun, but there was no way Kylee was sticking her hands in the pumpkin to pull out the 'guts'

Crater Lake

We decided to go out for one last adventure since school is starting tomorrow. We went to a place called Crater Lake.

This place is amazing!

The edge was a straight drop off. Scary! I had a death grip on Kylee the whole time!

Jeremy livin on the edge. Aarg!

We tagged along with Chris and Patience. It was nice to have some good campfire talk and games!

If you look closely you can see two little dots at the bottom of this lame waterfall. (Chris & Jer)

Pre-Fontain Run

So for the last few months I have been TRYING to run a few miles every other day in order to prepare to run the pre fontain. Jeremy however has not been training and was able to run, uphill, pushing Kylee in the stroller and finished just a few minutes behind me. AS IF! He said it is because he is a 'jock' whatever that means?


We were lucky enough to run it with our friends Lane and Erin!

The run was at a place a few hours north so we decided to take the camper and stay over night at a place called sunset bay. This was our view from our trailer. Almost.

Bear Lake Trip

A Life Well Lived

Royden K Arnell
Oct. 4 1951 - Sep. 1 2009
Royden you will forever be missed! You were an amazing father, Papa, friend, brother, and husband. We love you and know that you are close by.

Thank you for all your calls, cards, flowers, and support!

The Life!!

So we took the trailer to a place called Emigrant Lake over the weekend. Kylee was an absolute angel (for the most part) She loves to play in the sand, which makes it very enjoyable for Jer and I!


Look at Ky just sitting in a chair patiently waiting for dinner. AMAZING!


Jer enjoying the best watermelon EVER!


We are suppost to be mermaids, but I think I look more like a hammer head shark!

Kylee the 2 year old

So Kylee loves, loves, loves to do things that you ask her everyday not to do. Every time she does something she is not suppost to, I ask her how old she is so I can be reminded that she won't stay 2 forever.
This is here classic pose when asked to smile for the camera.

Whether we are coloring or painting, the art project never seems to make it to the paper. There seems to always be more exciting things to color like the table, cabinets, floor, or her fingers.

Kylee has an ENDLESS fasination with the bathroom sink.


See how happy the little terd is after I asked her to stop washing her hair in the bathroom sink! 2years old. Gotta love her!

Our Recent Purchase!

Well I am happy to announce that Jeremy has become a MAN. He just bought his first truck and is like a little school boy again when he drives it! We splurged some more and bought a trailer to go with our truck. Here are some pics of our first camping trip to Loon Lake.


Nothing like cleanin up the pooper!

Trip back home

We are so lucky and so blessed to be able to go home and spend some time with our friends and family! It was an awesome trip!!Here are just a few pics.

Fam in town

Jer's parents were able to come out and hang with us last week. It was so much fun having Nana, Papa, and Mara around. It was an amazing week, thanks so much you guys!!

Any Sunday Activity Ideas??

Well what else is there to do on a Sunday but go for long walks, drives, and eat lots of food??? So of course we packed up the car and headed toward the river. After a little hike we came to this beautiful waterfall.

Kylee is way excited to go "hiken" as she would say.


Jeremy throught he saw something under the rock and lifted it up to take a gander. What a man!!
