Apple Hill

We had a great time at Apple Hill during our Sept. NV visit!  We've been going to NV for the past 4 months to teach doTERRA classes.  We sneak some adventures in while we're there, and it's always fun to be with family! This is a picture of a bug that shed itself.  Calvin found stuck onto a tree. 

We spotted this extremely cool hornet nest!

Flat flowers 

Chickens!

Pa had fun feeding the cow :) 

I look of shock on Ma's face when Devon showed her what was on his arm (a cow sneezed on him- gross!)

Sometimes Ty holds my hand when we walk....other times he holds my strap.  Just wanted to remember that!

This is the pig we look forward to seeing every year! 

Emily took these next pictures of flowers.  Beautiful!

We picked some delicious Fujis!  The man showed us how to "twist, twist, twist" to prevent damaging the branches.  After we were all done picking, Tiffany said to me, "I want to tell the man we twist, twist, twist."  So, we went over to the kind orchard owner, but Tiffy got embarrassed and hid behind me.  So, I told him, and he thanked Tiffany for pulling the apples the right way!

Several years ago Colin and the kids hid a geocache here on this sign.  It's still there!

This man was making pottery- fascinating!  Makes me want a bunch of clay pots!

Happy 5th Birthday, Tiffany and Tameeka!

The morning started out with opening gifts.  The girls liked their new bracelets, coloring books, sunglasses (Ty picked those out), poppers (Dev picked those), and miniature animals!

After presents, we went to a jump place in Provo and had tons of fun!

Devon was doing some awesome jumps and parkour moves, and having so much fun, he was ignoring his asthma.   After awhile, he came over to me looking pretty bad.  I got Colin's car keys with essential oils case (we NEVER leave home without it!), and gave him some Breathe oil.  He rubbed it in his hands and breathed it in.  I put Breathe on his chest along with Frankincense (decreases inflammation), which I also put a few drops of under his tongue.  I rubbed Lavender on his ears and back to help calm him down because asthma can be scary.  He also did some Buteyko breathing techniques.  After about 20 min. he was totally fine and ready to jump again!  When we teach our doTERRA classes, Devon shares his story about how we use the oils for asthma instead of inhalers.  He does a great job every time!  So grateful for natural solutions!

After our adventures at the jumping place, we went to check out some RV's.  Trying to get some ideas for our travel plans in a few months.  Homeschool on the road, doTERRA, and seeing some of the U.S- we're excited and there's lots to plan!

Colin and I went to film a doTERRA event while the kids watched Shrek 4.  When we got home the movie was ending, and it was time for birthday treats! 

Of course, Ty got to blow out a candle too!

So "twin-ish" how the girls are doing the same thing in these 3 pics! 

Happy birthday sweeties!  We love you so much!!!

Olive Garden

Going out to Olive Garden with Ma and Pa is always fun!

Pa and Calvin had quite the competition going with a game on the kid's meal!

Of course, after eating Italian food (or Mexican, or Asian, or just about anything), it's important to coat the tummy, right?  This was a really fun place called U-Swirl.  I had never seen a frozen yogurt place like this before!  Frozen yogurt has sure come a long way since Honey Treat! 

games

                                          Ty and Devon like to play this "basketball" game sometimes!

Computer games and dangly earrings

                                          Emily and I waited the painful 6 months after we got our
                                          ears pierced to start wearing dangly earrings!  We are having
                                          lots of fun wearing different earrings and sharing each other's!
