Summer Bucket List 2013!

Guess what I have been doing this week??

Planning our  

2013 Summer Bucket List! 

Last year I took on this Challenge from the HAPPY FAMILY MOVEMENT crew,
which was to create a
"Summer Bucket List"
of items you want to do during the fun summer months with your family.

And it was a blast! We took some amazing adventures and had some wonderful fun times together
and I truly love this idea.  

After all, planning and preparing = success and fun right?!?

Before I jump right to the Bucket List's I thought it would be fun to give a quick introduction, on my favorite four people in the whole world.

First:  Cory (my hubbie)

We have been married for almost 14 years and every year is an adventure!

Next up is Asher who is 10.

His name means happy and he is truly is a joy to be around!

Then we have Bensen or "B"

Seriously the funniest, cutest, curly haired guy you'd ever see!

 

And then we have Miss Lily

 She is my best friend and doesn't mind doing a little yoga with me.

And as for me, I am a happy mom and wife who is love with life.

I have a company called Tree Fitness where I Coach, Consult and Personal Train people and families in-home and online, to accomplish their health, fitness, and lifestyle goals.

Here is our last year's  

Summer Bucket List:

This year our Summer Bucket List looks like this!

 I am so excited for this list, especially number 1 and 7. 

What does, "3-Point to map destinations" means?

Well, I will put a map of Utah up on the wall, and allow each kid to have the opportunity of pointing to somewhere on the map, and wherever they point, we will drive to that destination and explore where they pointed.

The other one I am super excited about is the 2013 Summer Video that we will create as we check off each item on the list.

Reds and Yellows

  

We made our way up the canyon today. And the colors are absolutely breath taking.  

Lily has already convinced me to decorate for Halloween, and the boys are talking Christmas already. 

I even did my first bit of Christmas shopping (which is very unlike me). 

It is for sure not their favorite thing to do, take pictures that is,

but if I promise them an awesome hike they usually will give me some perfect shots.

I wasn't kidding about the amazing color huh??

I didn't do any editing to these photos (if you can't tell from the little black image to the right). 

There honestly is no need when the colors and shadows are this perfect out.

If you could of only seen how many cars I had to dodge to get this picture, you would of been impressed!  

The tripod is in the middle of the road right now ;)

I snuck a kiss at the last second, and got a real smile out of Cory.

I have a ton more, that I'd love to share, but I should got to bed.

Tomorrow is Monday and it's coming whether I go to bed on time or not.

Loves,

Jill

My 4 year old's art

Lily is really into drawing stick figures lately...

Her latest creation makes me happy.

Love her.

Randomness...

Well I have good news!  You all must of ready my last post because I was invited to teach a song at the Zumba event that my last post was all about!  It is this Saturday (Sept. 1st) at UVU and I really would love to see my family and friends in the audience, smiling and dancing and cheering me on!
Here's the info on what you need to do to come!

Other randomness...

I can't believe summer has come and gone.  And like I really can't believe it. Sometimes I feel like I blink and days have passed.  Here is a small sampling of what our summer and past couple months have been like...

We had an amazing Disneyland, Sea World, and beach trip!

 Family

 Lots of beach fun

 

We celebrated Lily's birthday the day we went to Disneyland!

 We ran the Bone Race up in Idaho

We had a family outing with Cory's family up to a Campground by Mt Nebo (that little guy is Asher)

 I had my first experience paddleboarding and I LOVED it!

 

 The mountain by our house went up in flames.

  

Asher turned 10 (which I still can't believe he is 10 already!)

We started taking the kids golfing once or twice a week

 We hiked Timp Cave for the first time, and they were superstars!

 We looooved our tour guide!

 Asher made swim team again this year, so we spent everyday at AF pool

 What our beautiful mountain looks like now...:(

 

 We learned that "Hammy" loves baby carrots

 Bathtime at our house is crazy!

Dress up days

 I left my family, and went to Florida to the National Zumba Convention (rough huh?)

 

Me and the creator of Zumba, Mr. 6 pack, I mean Beto Perez :)

 Some of my favorite ladies!

We went to Panguitch, Utah

I love the weird things that you can find in small towns

 Ash

 Lily

 

Bens

 

We met my roomate from college and her family and had a blast!

This is Lily and her daughter Skylar

 I'm sensing a motorcycle of my own in the very near future

 Riding together

  

Again, I love what you can find at small towns

And here we are to the first day of school.

Asher is in 4th grade

Bensen is in 1st grade

 And Miss Lily is in her 2nd year of Preschool

I absolutely loved this summer...many more adventures were had.  

We spent as much time together as we could and played and played some more.  

Another absolute?  

I love being a mommy to these 3 crazies! 

I wouldn't give it up for all the money in the world :)

Loves,

Jill
