Let's go fly a kite

Last weekend it was quite "blustery" as Lydia says! So we got a costco kite and headed out. Well of course as soon as we did the wind died so after going to three...yes I said three different parks we called it quits. We then went out Saturday headed to Providence Hall Jr. High (at the top of a mountain) and the kite flew like it was headed back to heaven! It was a fun day and a fun outing for our family!

P.S. I have taken a bit of a technology break...I figure I can ease my way back into it I had found it was taking up so much of my time and I wasn't being the mom I wanted to be. So I may post once or twice a month but nothing like I was, so please don't feel bad if I haven't commented on everyone else's blogs I haven't been on for a LONG time! I am excited to get caught up one of these days on all the fun stuff that has been going on in everyone's lives:)

Those darn leprechauns!

The Leprechaun's made it to the Knudsen house this year again! The kids were so surprised to see how much they had messed up our house...but they were excited for the pot of gold they left! We had green waffles and milk and even made some green cookies! Lydia is still talking about how the leprechaun peed in our toilet...I didn't get a picture of it but I am sure you can imagine it (ha ha ha!)

The Leprechaun stole Lydia's blanket again this year...she was so MAD!!!

Their pot of gold!

He even left some foot-prints and rainbow jelly-beans where ever he went!

Woohoo he even left some movies!

Audrey was the most surprised:)

Discovery Gateway...again!

We love Discovery Gateway, it was a pretty nice day and so I decided to take the girls downtown for some Gateway fun! Audrey LOVED it, she is getting to a fun age where she could actually play and enjoy it! Lydia of course loved it as always!

Snow Day...FINALLY!

Well we FINALLY got some snow in the valley and so we headed to the park by our house for some sledding! It was such a fun little family outing other then Chris throwing his back out. But the kids had a blast, Audrey loved eating the snow, Lydia wanted to go as fast as she could down the hill and Che' just loved being out in the snow and he was a trooper pulling the kids on the sled over and over!!!

The Knudsen Girls!

Miller Time Fun!

So a month or so ago we went on such a fun trip with our good friends the Miller's. They drove their AMAZING motorhome down to Mesquite and we all stayed at "The Solstice" this really nice RV park resort.

Friday we got there and got all set up went to a super yummy mexican restaurant and we actually got to go and see Colby's nieces compete at their soccer tournament.

Saturday the boys headed out golfing and Meg and I headed to Vegas with the kid's for some OutLet's shopping. The deals were awesome and it was fun to head into Vegas, even if it was only for a few hours. Heading back we almost ran out of gas and Siri was no help (ha ha ha!) That night we had a yummy BBQ dinner with Colby's brother and sister-in-law and we watched movies in the Club house at the resort.

Sunday we headed to Logan Dale Trails for such a fun razor, dirt bike and 4-wheeling outing. I don't think my kids have ever been so dirty and they were in heaven. I also have to say I am OBSESSED with their Razor...pretty sure I want one for our family when our kids are older. If you haven't ever been on one they are SO fun!!! That night we got some yummy pizza hut and hung out watching movies in the RV!

Monday we were headed home! After an interesting experience at a Country Club for breakfast with kids....I will never do that again! We were headed home! It was such a fun trip with our BFF's as always!

The picture doesn't do it justice she was CAKED in dirt seriously so bad!

Lydia's just laying in the dirt...makes sense right (ha ha ha!)

Meg and Cash...Cash and Audrey were competing for who could eat the most s and in one day!

Jen, Colby's sister-in-law on her dirt bike (yes she is that cool that she has her own dirt bike and all the gear...I want to be like her when I grow up, ha ha ha!)

Jackson, Colby's nephew he lead Meg and I on our Razor Adventure!

I don't think that this picture can do it justice how much fun Chris had riding this thing! He is OBSESSED, seriously!

Valentines 2012

Valentines was so fun this year...who are we kidding everything is so much more fun with a toddler who is now getting holidays and all the fun that goes along with it. And yes I am loving it was well since who are we kidding I get a little into holidays!

I didn't get any pictures but Chris and I also celebrated the BEST valentines ever. First of all my good friend Jeni took my kids literally ALL day and night so Chris and I could go skiing. It was such a great night fresh snow and no lines whatsoever! We then hit up Silver Fork for dinner. It was such a great night overall we got to talk and spend time doing what we love. I even skiied and who are we kidding I LOVE skiing...I still love snowboarding but I think that I may love skiing more (sorry to my board!) Overall it was such a fun night and I felt so lucky to be able to spend it with my fabulous hubby!!!
